I decided to do a little quasi-experiment where I combined this device with a muse headband, which reads and tracks brainwaves.
During my "control" meditation where I did not use neorhythm, I was in a calm state for about 10% of the 35 minute meditation.
During neorhythm + muse, I was in a calm state for 50% of a 20 minute meditation.
Possible confounds: placebo.
Neorhythm session followed the control session and may have benefitted from momentum (unlikely as I was actually growing more agitated by the end of first, with brain activity increasing) Possible that muse was reading neo's signal (presumably not since neo's signal is far weaker and depends on entrainment according to specs)
Seems to work!

@devon_frayne Experiments like this are good. May I suggest something? Turn on the muse headband and put it next to the neorhythm... but DONT put them on your head at all. Maybe put it on a fake head (a mannequin or bust or soccer ball or something). Does the muse headband end up detecting the calm brainwaves anyway? I wonder if the headband is picking up the electromagnetic fields directly from the neorhythm instead of your brain. Another way to experiment might be to use the muse headband AFTER a session with the neorhythm... and compare it to what it looks like without using the neorhythm beforehand. But I'm super interested in seeing how the first suggestion pans out. I would do it myself but I don't have a muse headband...

No clinical studies. PEMF is not approved to be neurostimulation headset medical device by FDA or EU.

@miness Not quite true on no clinical studies. Check out Pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field affects human sleep and sleep electroencephalogram on PubMed. It's independent and shows a clear positive effect on sleep quality.

DO NOT BUY!!!! It doesn’t work! We reached out multiple times before they would even give us a refund address. They’re refund addresses is in Slovenia and cost $80 to return! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

My wife has been using NeoRhythm for insomnia for about 2 months now.
I don't want to jinx things, but so far it's been a Godsend.
My wife had had terrible insomnia for about 1.5 years prior to that. It got to a point where she might sleep 3-4 hours a night almost every night of the week, for weeks on end. We got to a point of total desperation. We had tried most available solutions: sleep hygiene was fine (stuff like abstaining from caffeine and blue lights). Sleeping pills are not a permanent fix, so we use those very sparingly. We had been trying meditation (using Muse) for about 2 months, and it wasn't a huge help.
Since getting this device 2 months ago, the insomnia has gone from about a 8 out of 10 down to about 2 -3 out of 10. She still might have a bad night once every 1-2 weeks, but overall, it's like night and day compared to what we had before. My wife sleeps soundly on most nights. I can't begin to describe what a relief this has been.
We'll see how things go long term, but so far, we couldn't be happier.
That being said, my personal view is that using this for non-sleep purposes feels silly. I'm not going to use this to focus at work. But for sleep, it's been a huge help.
One other caveat, the thing is clunkier than most users today expect. The app is not great, and the device is less convenient than a Muse S, for instance. So I hope these things are improved. But all of this pales in comparison to the core benefit.
One last point, about the clinical studies - something I saw brought up by another reviewer. Here is a study on strong & positive PEMF effects on sleep from a group of scientists unaffiliated with NeoRhythm from about 20 years ago: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/....
