what are the advantages / disadvantages comparing the emwave2 and the IHeartmath 6400 Inner Balance Sensor for iOS

emWave2 actually has interactive "games" that are not too complex, but at least they are games that approximate an engaging environment (good HRV feedback in the form of a b&w photo turning up color schemes, colored sparkles emanating from the palm of your hand. Handheld alone is fine and games only via laptop/desktop. Inner Balance obviously has the advantage of ipod touch and iPad which I have used easily, but there are NO games as of yet. the peaceful image you see in the promo screen is just that...a peaceful image that does NOT change or provide visual feedback of successful HRV. you can see line graph changes of your HRV so there IS visual feedback, but I try to teach HRV skill to children who have no idea what a line graph means...and can give up easily after just waiting for blue or green dots. If given the choice, I'd go with inner balance because I'm trusting heartmath will see this as a burgeoning market and go forward with developing gaming apps. even better if they open it up to other game makers.

I've been using this kit with my Iphone 4s (Runtastic pro) without big issues. Sometimes, I had to pair the cardio strap with my phone when I realized the cardio frequency register seens weird for my usual pattern. In my oppinion, all the ANT + device could be used.

The inner balance uses the old 30 pin adapter. You'll. need a 30 pin to thunderbolt adapter fom apple to make it work -- around $30

It is for me. The 220 has a longer battery life (10 hours versus 5 hours) and has a built-in accelerometer so you can track pace and distance indoors as well as outdoors. That's helpful because then Garmin Connect has all of your running information, not just the data for the outdoor runs. Also, you can track your running cadence (number of steps per minute) which I find very helpful. All that said, the Forerunner 10 is probably fine if you always run outdoors (or don't care about Garmin Connect having all the data) and just want to know how far you run and track it later on a map.

I use strava on the iphone with my rflkt and it tracks speed and elevation fine. Not sure if the speed sensor is more acutate but should be fine with any device that pairs with the rflkt.

The iRAD-200 supports both iOS (i.e. iPhone) and Android devices. It's great for users like me who switch back and forth.

I use the same iFit module, rotating between my treadmill, elliptical, and recumbent bike. One iFit module can be used in multiple devices. All will be recorded on the same iFit account

There are two sensors, one for the inner zone and one for outer. Both if turned clockwise increases the sensitivity. However, an adjustment on one does affect the other if my memory serves me right.

I've been using the original for a little over two years now. This is actually my second one (the first got accidentally put in the washing machine). I'm definitely looking at upgrading to the Ultra real soon and also getting one for my wife. I've also pre-ordered the Fitbit Aria Smart Scale that is due out in April. Check that item out on their website.

Yes FYI I also have the sensor for ios and I find that more convenient as it works on iphone and ipad that I always have with me and is cheaper

According to my husband whom I purchased this for, the sensor is more accurate and when riding in the mountains can sometimes lose GPS signal (he rides in Adirondacks in summer). Also, works for indoor training. For suburban areas and outside only, GPS should work fine.

hi! I'm fairly certain the elite has extra gadget options (you can hook up a heart rate monitor to the elite) and tracks more via the gps. Like altitude, etc. Check there to find the differences.

Hey Silvia... you will also need to download one of the many free Apps to be able to see and track your HR, the one from Wahoo is pretty good but also the one from Endomondo, and don't forget to turn on the Bluetooth on your IPhone and moisten a little bit the pads on your monitor, it work great.

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues.

It works the same way with all of them. What is different is the analytics performed with the app using the Mio or any other monitor's data. And, what is preferred by you. Any bluetooth receiver captures the data. My favorite is RunMeter. Milo's own app was not enticing at all. Mapmyrun and Strava work well. My bias towards RunMeter is their easy interface and sophisticated analytics, plus extreme customization. I pay for the Elite subscription at $5/year. Any app with the word run in it also works for numerous other activities. So RunMeter and Maymy____ also do walk, cycle, hike, ski, etc.

Sir/Ma'am I found the Zephyr HXM after a search of several different websites trying to find a solution to Garmins excessive HR spikes and drop outs. I have a droid type phone so I never searched for a Iphone solution. I see that Zephyer has a website here: http://www.zephyr-technology.com/forum/#/ This might be a better place to find the answer to your question. I am still very happy with my HR sensor; now if only Garmin would choose to use something as advanced as this sensor with their product line.

I've used it for both activities, and it was pretty accurate. However, the battery life sucks....It died 2 months ago (I bought it in May 2014). Changed the battery, and it still doesn't work. But I have a Smart Health HRM without a chest strap (wrist only) and it had the EXACT same readings as the Polar.
