Is The Genius Song Safe? Listening, Terms and Payment

Safety at a glance

How to listen safely

The steps below come from us rather than the seller, and they fit any audio product of this kind.

1. Pick a comfortable volume and keep it there. A good test: you should still be able to hear someone talking at arm’s length. The NIDCD warns that sustained loud sound through headphones can harm your ears for good.
2. Sit or lie down somewhere safe. Since the routine involves shutting your eyes, it suits home use and unsafe anywhere that needs your attention.
3. Never listen at the wheel. Not while driving, cycling, or running machinery or tools.
4. Stop if you feel unwell. Dizziness, a headache, anxiety or anything unusual is a reason to stop and, if it continues, to speak to a doctor.
5. Keep children’s use supervised. The video mentions a children’s bonus audio. If a child listens, a parent should choose the volume.

We have not listened to the track, so we cannot describe its sound. The seller says it lasts about seven minutes and uses “brain entrainment”, but gives no details of frequencies or how it was made.

Who should check first, or skip it

Not a treatment: two lines in the Terms that disagree

The seller’s fine print is more careful than its sales video, and in one place it contradicts itself.

The last line and the first three cannot all be fully true at once. A product whose claims rest on established science would not need to be filed under entertainment. We give the entertainment wording more weight, because that is what the research shows: no published study has tested this track, and the binaural-beat research nearby points in different directions. Our benefits page sets out that research.

In practice: if you have a health problem, keep your treatment and see your doctor. The video’s stories about lost weight, quitting smoking, migraines and joint pain are anecdotes, and the seller’s own disclaimer rules out any treatment claim.

The presenter: a pen name

In the video the presenter calls himself “doctor Robert Lake” and talks about a New York City clinic and decades in neuroscience. The text page calls him NASA-trained under a “Top NASA Scientist” headline. Yet the footer of both pages admits that “Robert Lake” is an invented name, used with an unnamed neuroscientist’s agreement.

That matters for safety in one practical way. Advice from a named, checkable professional can be weighed against their record. Advice from a pen name cannot. So treat everything the presenter says about your brain or health as marketing, not as medical guidance.

The testimonials

The people in the video, among them a nurse said to live in Tustin, plus speakers placed in Dallas and Manhattan, come across as customers. The Terms say otherwise in several ways:

• Names have been changed, and the seller uses pen names.
• Parts of the presentation were dramatized.
• Avatars, actors or other digital stand-ins may deliver the feedback.
• Some of those featured may know the founders personally, as friends, relatives or early backers.
• Participants were paid for telling their stories.
• The outcomes shown are described as exceptional, not typical.

Treat them as advertising. Apply that to the customer totals too, which read 18,366 in one place and 19,389 in another. Our post on whether The Genius Song is a scam weighs these red flags against what does check out.

Paying and getting a refund safely

Where you land. Our link goes to the seller’s website through ClickBank. At present, the official site’s front page showcases The Genius Wave, a related track from that seller, while The Genius Song is presented on its /video/ page. They are different tracks, so confirm the item on the order page reads The Genius Song.

At checkout. The payment page should be on pay.clickbank.net. ClickBank shows your local currency and any tax before you confirm, and the charge appears as CLKBANK*Genius Song.

The refund. Digital orders get a 90-day window under the Terms, a period ClickBank’s checkout repeats. Ignore the separate page at /TOS/refunds/: it covers bottles of a supplement called “NeuroActivate” (60 days, sealed bottles, an Ohio return address) and does not apply to a download. Contact ClickBank instead; you can phone 1-800-390-6035 or use clkbank.com. Have your receipt’s order number ready.

If something goes wrong. If a charge looks wrong and neither the seller nor ClickBank sorts it out, your card issuer can help with a dispute, as the FTC explains.

Email and privacy

Buying signs you up to email lists managed by HappyConsumerPublishing.com. According to the Terms, those emails may promote third-party offers in areas such as the law of attraction, making money online, spirituality, prayer, astrology and numerology. Every email should carry an unsubscribe link. Marketing for the product itself comes from GeniusSongOfficial.com, and product support is at [email protected].

Be careful with look-alike pages. A cheap or “free” copy elsewhere is not the seller’s offer and will not come with ClickBank’s refund. Our post on avoiding Genius Song scams covers copycat sites and urgent emails.
