you don't have to say anything.
72% of teens talk to ai every day.
ai still can't tell how they feel.
same changes that.
just earphones. (that read your mind.)

periwinkle they sound great too. but that's not why you'll love them.
"but can earphones actually read your brain?"
yes. and no — they can't read your thoughts.
eeg measures brain wave patterns — focus, calm, stress, flow. it's like hearing the rhythm of a city, not eavesdropping on individual conversations.
ear-canal eeg is peer-reviewed science. the ear is one of the best spots on your body for picking up brain signals.
we didn't invent eeg. we just made it invisible — and $49.
what same can detect
- focus level
- stress response
- calm state
- sleep stages
- flow state
what same can't detect
- your thoughts
- your memories
- what you're looking at
- your secrets
- your crush's name
what it actually measures
your brain produces electrical waves at different frequencies. each one tells a different story.
when you're locked in. deep work, studying, creating. the zone you chase.
when you're at peace. eyes closed, breathing slow, stress melting away.
when you're daydreaming or meditating. the liminal space between awake and asleep.
when you're in deep sleep. your brain's nightly reset. the rest that actually rests.
how ai changes when it can feel you
ai goes quiet. doesn't interrupt flow state.
why wired?
everyone has airpods. that's exactly why.
wired earphones are back. gen z brought them back. 20% sales surge in 2024. they're an aesthetic, a statement, a vibe.
but for same, wired isn't just a trend — it's a feature.
no battery to die
powered by your phone. always ready.
zero bluetooth lag
instant audio. instant brain data.
no charging case to lose
one less thing to think about.
better audio quality
no compression. pure signal.
$49 not $249
no wireless tax.
structurally private
brain data goes straight to your phone. no bluetooth. no interception. no cloud. just a wire.
your data stays yours
we can't read your thoughts. we can't see your memories. we can't tell what you're watching.
your brain data is processed on your phone. it never leaves your device unless you choose to share it.
no cloud. no third parties. no ads. just you and your earphones.
wired connection = no bluetooth interception. the data physically can't go anywhere you don't send it.
we believe brain data is the most personal data that exists. we treat it that way.
how it works
plug in
connect via usb-c like any earphones. brain sensing starts instantly. no app needed, no calibration, no gel. just plug in and go.
be you
invisible eeg sensors in the ear tips read your brain state in real-time. you won't feel them. you won't think about them. they just work.
feel heard
ai apps see your state alongside your words. for the first time, ai doesn't just hear you — it gets you. focus, stress, calm, flow — it's all there.
the tech inside
the entire analog front-end fits in the inline controller. the one with the clicky buttons you'll fidget with in your pocket.
$49
no battery. no bluetooth chip. no wireless antenna. wired = simple = affordable.

questions you're thinking
is this real?
can earphones actually read my brain?
yes. eeg has been used in neuroscience labs for decades. we adapted peer-reviewed research (UbiComp '24 best paper) to fit in an ear tip at $10 BOM. it's not magic — it's science that finally got small enough and cheap enough.
is this a scam?
no. eeg is established science dating back to the 1920s. the ear canal is one of the best locations on the body for brain signal acquisition — it's close to the temporal lobe and has stable skin contact. our hardware is based on published, peer-reviewed research.
has this been tested by real scientists?
our hardware is based on the OpenEarable ExG platform which won best paper at UbiComp '24 — one of the top academic venues in ubiquitous computing. this isn't startup hype. it's lab-validated technology.
privacy
can it read my thoughts?
no. eeg reads wave patterns (focus, calm, stress), not thoughts. it's like hearing the rhythm of a city, not eavesdropping on conversations. nobody — not us, not your ai — will ever know what you're thinking.
who sees my brain data?
nobody but you. it's processed on your phone. wired connection means no bluetooth to intercept. no cloud storage. no third-party access. your data stays on your device.
can my parents see my data?
not unless you show them. your data stays on your phone, in your app. there's no family dashboard, no shared accounts, no parental monitoring. it's yours.
what happens to my data if same goes out of business?
your data lives on your phone, not our servers. if we disappear tomorrow, your data stays right where it is. we designed it that way on purpose.
the product
does it sound good?
yes. CM108AH stereo DAC. they're real earphones first — you'll use them for music, calls, videos. the brain sensing is invisible. you'll forget it's even there.
why wired?
no battery to die, no bluetooth to lag, no charging case to lose, better audio quality, $49 instead of $249, and structurally more private — brain data travels through the wire, not over the air.
what colors does it come in?
four: cream, periwinkle, coral, and butter. more coming. we'll let you vote on the next ones.
does it work with iphone?
yes. usb-c. works with any device that has usb-c — iphone 15+, android, ipad, mac, pc. if it has usb-c, same works with it.
ai + brain
which ai does it work with?
any ai that supports the same+ API. we're building integrations for the platforms gen z uses most. the goal: every ai you already talk to gets the ability to sense how you feel.
do i need a subscription?
no. basic brain state tracking is free forever with the earphones. same+ ($9.99/mo) adds advanced analytics, ai integration, and personalized insights. but the earphones work great on their own.
can i just use them as normal earphones?
absolutely. they're great earphones that happen to have a superpower. plug them in, play music, take calls. the brain sensing is just... there, whenever you want it.
safety
is it safe?
completely. eeg is passive — it reads electrical signals your brain already produces. it doesn't send anything into your brain. think of it like a microphone for brain waves. microphones don't make sound — they just listen.
is this FDA approved?
same is not a medical device and doesn't make medical claims. it's a consumer electronics product that shows you your brain states — like a heart rate monitor shows your pulse. no prescription needed.
can it diagnose anxiety or ADHD?
no. same shows you your brain state patterns — awareness and insight, not diagnosis. it can show you when you're more or less focused, but it's not a replacement for professional medical advice. think of it as a mirror for your mind, not a doctor.
what if i have epilepsy or a seizure disorder?
same is a passive sensor — it doesn't emit anything. however, if you have a neurological condition, talk to your doctor before using any eeg device. we're not medical professionals and same is not a medical device.
can it be hacked?
the wired connection is the answer here. there's no bluetooth radio to intercept, no wifi to hack, no cloud server to breach. your brain data travels through a physical wire to your phone and stays there. it's the most secure brain interface architecture possible.
ready to feel heard?
no spam. just same
