Therabody SmartGoggles (2nd Generation) focuses on guided relaxation through a combination of compression-style massage, heat, and vibration across the forehead, eyebrows, and temples. The core appeal is its structured approach: a set of preset sessions for relaxation, headache-focused relief, and sleep preparation, with options to adjust intensity and temperature. A biometric sensor supports a SmartRelax-style mode that adapts patterns based on heart rate, adding a layer of personalization for users who prefer a more responsive routine.

The blackout design is a practical upgrade for anyone sensitive to light, and the contoured interior helps avoid direct pressure on the eyes, which can matter during longer sessions. The adjustable strap improves fit range, but fit can still be inconsistent across face shapes, and the unit can feel bulky for smaller heads. Weight distribution is generally stable when lying back, though it may feel heavy or intrusive when sitting upright.

Heat performance is present and adjustable, but users expecting a strong warming compress effect may find the highest setting relatively mild. Noise is another consideration: some massage modes can be noticeably loud, which may limit use in quiet bedrooms or shared spaces. Care requirements are straightforward with hand-wash guidance, yet the device format makes it less convenient than a simple fabric sleep mask.

Overall, SmartGoggles is best seen as a structured relaxation tool with strong blackout performance, balanced by comfort variability and premium expectations around sound and heat.
