Adapter for Android and Apple devices

Some newer Android and iOS (Apple) devices without the classic 3.5mm headphone jack and with the newer Lightning / USB-C connector also work perfectly with the eSense.

Please follow this order when using the adapter:

  1. Plug the adapter into your smartphone/tablet.
  2. Connect the eSense to the adapter.
  3. Start the eSense app.

If the adapter with eSense is only plugged in after the app is already running and in Free Training mode (even if no training has started yet), connection issues may occur.

If the eSense is not recognized and the signal fluctuates erratically, please close the eSense app completely and restart it. This should resolve the issue.

Apple

You either need an original Apple USB-C (https://amzn.to/41zD2Gd) or original Apple Lightning (https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_apple-mmx62zm-a-2179668.html) to 3.5 mm connection adapter (not included in the scope of delivery of the eSense).

has a 3.5mm headphone jack, e.g. the iPhone X.)

Android & Apple

Alternatively, you also can use any other adapter with a DAC chip. We recommend this adapter on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2SnAUA1

DAC Adapter with an Android device

An adapter is also only needed, if at all, for the eSense Skin Response, eSense Temperature and eSense Respiration (as these eSenses have a 3.5mm headphone jack). An adapter is never needed for the eSense Pulse and eSense Muscle (as these connect to the device wirelessly via Bluetooth®).

General note:
Some newer iOS devices without the classic 3.5mm headphone jack, but with a Lightning or USB-C port, also work perfectly with the eSense. For this, you’ll need either the original Apple USB-C adapter (https://amzn.to/41zD2Gd) or the original Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter (https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_apple-mmx62zm-a-2179668.html) – which is optionally included with the eSense.

We tested 11 alternative Lightning adapters from third-party vendors – only two of them worked. Therefore, we recommend either the original Apple Lightning adapter (https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_apple-mmx62zm-a-2179668.html) or this compatible Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter, which we have successfully used with the eSense and also offer in our shop: Compatible Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter https://mindfield-shop.com/en/product/compatible-apple-lightning-to-3-5mm-adapter.
