Editor’s take

In favor

  • Truly wearable: ~60 g (up to 32 ch) including battery
  • 24-bit; same BrainVision Recorder + .vhdr stack as Brain Products' stationary amps
  • Onboard microSD enables fully untethered recording

Against

  • Sample rate capped at 1 kHz (vs 100 kHz on stationary actiCHamp Plus)
  • ~4 h battery on internal cell
