Editor’s take
In favor
- Up to 160 EEG channels at 24-bit / 100 kHz
- Accepts both active and passive caps — rare flexibility in the high-end tier
- BrainVision Recorder + Core Data Format are the de facto research-EEG standard
- First-party LSL connector enables real-time pipelines (MNE, OpenViBE, etc.)
Against
- Quote-based pricing in the research-EEG tier
- BrainVision Recorder is Windows-only
- Not a medical device for diagnostic use
