Update: This article was originally published in March 2025. However, in June 2025, I received a complaint filed by the owner of Vibrations Positives with Google for alleged intellectual property infringement. The goal of this move is to get the article de-indexed—meaning hidden from search results—in order to keep potential buyers from properly informing themselves before placing an order with this store.
Vibrations Positives mainly criticizes me on three points:
-
The first
is that I used their photographs, particularly the one at the beginning of this article, featuring an Asian woman lying down, which is also the banner on the Vibrations Positives homepage. Here is an excerpt from the complaint:
What the owner of Vibrations Positives failed to mention in his complaint is that this image does not belong to him. In fact, it comes from a royalty-free image library. The image was created by Antoni Shkraba, who kindly made it available to everyone free of charge. You can verify this information and even download the image at this address. So Vibrations Positives is trying to make this article disappear by claiming ownership of an image that clearly isn’t theirs. -
The second
is that I listed the company’s registered address
. Here is another excerpt from the complaint:
This information is available on the store’s website, as well as on several official French government sites. Sharing a public address is not an intellectual property violation, but it does suggest that Vibrations Positives may be uncomfortable with customers being able to locate them—something that shouldn’t be an issue for a legitimate business. - The third is that I took a few screenshots to highlight the various problems with this store, which is permitted under intellectual property law for criticism and informational purposes when it’s part of original content—which is the case with this article.
This information is available on the store’s website, as well as on several official French government sites. Sharing a public address is not an intellectual property violation, but it does suggest that Vibrations Positives may be uncomfortable with customers being able to locate them—something that shouldn’t be an issue for a legitimate business.I have therefore decided to leave the article as it is.
Have you recently discovered an online store called Vibrations Positives? Are you considering buying an instrument or accessory from this online store? Are there any reviews or opinions about this e-commerce site? Is it a scam, or can it be trusted?
I was recently interested in purchasing a therapeutic tuning fork for my energy healing and relaxation activities. During my research, I came across this store and, before making my purchase, I took a closer look at who actually owns Vibrations Positives. As a result, I can share what I found and give you my opinion on the matter.
Vibrations Positives is an online sound-therapy store that appears to fall short of several legally required disclosures. It also seems that the owner(s) of this site are doing everything possible to stay hidden from the public, which makes it very difficult to build the trust needed to place an order.
After reading this article, you’ll learn:
- What information can be used to identify the owners of Vibrations Positives
- My take on this music-therapy shop
As a result, you’ll be able to decide whether their store meets the basics you need before ordering and whether you can trust them with your sound-therapy instruments and accessories.
Now let’s take a look at who’s behind the store called Vibrations Positives.
Who is behind the Vibrations Positives store?
Vibrations Positives is an online store specializing in sound therapy instruments—sound tools intended primarily for relaxation and healing through sound. You’ll find kalimbas, tongue drums, Tibetan singing bowls, and—what interested me the most—therapeutic tuning forks that can produce very specific frequencies.
The first thing you should do when considering any purchase from an online store is to check the legal notices, which must include a set of mandatory details so consumers can identify who owns and operates the site. This information must be accessible from all pages of the website, which is why it’s usually placed in the footer. That’s exactly how Vibrations Positives is set up, and here is what it shows:
Only the company’s address is listed—3 rue Paul Langevin (app. 1) in the town of Maing, France. It’s a bit surprising to see a business operating from a residential apartment, but more importantly, French and European legislation requires that much more information be displayed on this page. In fact, the law states that the following details must be provided:
- The company’s registration number in the Trade and Companies Register (RCS)
- The VAT registration number
- The first and last name of the person responsible for publications
- An email address and telephone number
However, it’s clear that none of this information is provided, which is punishable by law with one year’s imprisonment and a $75,000 fine. Even more surprising is that no company called "Vibrations Positives" appears to have been registered with the RCS. The only entity that exists is an association called "Vibrations Positives +221," which was founded in 2018 with the aim of breaking the isolation of senior citizens. This association appears to have absolutely no connection with the Vibrations Positives store.
What’s more, and this is starting to become truly concerning, according to the official French government website called “Annuaire des entreprises” (Business Directory), only two companies are registered at 3 rue Paul Langevin in the municipality of Maing, and neither of them is Vibrations Positives. These are "ABC Absolute Bureau Conseil," whose main activity is providing financial advice, and "SCI LANGEVINE," which is involved in real estate rentals.
Finally, according to information available on the Internet, the domain https://vibrations-positives.fr/ was created on May 29, 2023, which is presumably when this online store was launched. When registering a domain, the owner can choose whether to display their name publicly, and the owner of https://vibrations-positives.fr/ has opted to stay anonymous.
As a result, it’s impossible to say who’s behind the Vibrations Positives store. Nearly all of the required information is missing. The address listed doesn’t match a company that could own this online shop, and the owner has chosen to keep their name private.
Update: This article was originally published in March 2025. However, about a month later, a visitor to my blog informed me that a SIRET number and an identity had finally been added to the legal notice, most likely in response to the publication of this review. The number is 91051783800017, a sole proprietorship created in 2022, whose information has been deliberately marked as “not publicly listed” by its founder, which is still an option when creating this type of business.
This is why I hadn’t been able to find this business before, and it suggests, once again, that the owner of this e-commerce site wanted to remain anonymous. It also confirms that no real company bearing the name Vibrations Positives exists. Furthermore, no Vibrations Positives trademark has been registered with the INPI, the French National Institute for Industrial Property, which may say a lot about the owner’s interest in protecting the brand.
It’s also striking to read on the site: "Our team is made up of passionate sound therapists and sales representatives who regularly travel to Nepal and Tibet." What team, what sound therapists, and what sales representatives could this refer to if it’s a sole proprietorship? Having names and qualifications for these professionals would have helped build trust.
Finally, I can’t help but wonder how long the legal notice would have stayed empty if I hadn’t published this article for consumers.
What is my opinion of this online sound therapy store?
Since I couldn’t find any clear information about who owns the store, I tried to find customer reviews online. On its website, Vibrations Positives claims to have a community of 3,700 members. However, I couldn’t find any customer reviews, either on the Vibrations Positives website itself or on an external site such as Trustpilot, which is very surprising for an online store that has been operating for almost two years.
Update: This article was originally published in March 2025. However, about a month later, reviews began to appear on external sites. For example, two reviews can be found on the France VĂ©rif website:
Nevertheless, there is something I find very surprising. These same two reviews, down to the last comma, were also posted on Trustpilot on April 6, 2025. On the one hand, the Vibrations Positives store had no reviews for almost two years, and it wasn’t until my article was published that reviews began to appear. Coincidence? On the other hand, and this feels more concerning, it appears that the reviews posted on Trustpilot and France Vérif are exactly the same, written by the same people, but not on the same day. Do you think it’s normal for two customers to post a review on France Vérif on April 1, 2025 and then, five days later—on April 6, 2025—those same two customers post the exact same reviews on Trustpilot on the same day? Especially considering that no reviews had been posted for nearly two years prior.
I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, especially since the French government and many media outlets have recently warned about the dangers of fake online reviews.
What’s more, for a store that claims to be the benchmark for sound therapy instruments after nearly two years, there is no social media presence whatsoever—no YouTube channel, no Facebook page, and no Instagram account.
Finally, and this is almost a minor detail after everything above, it seems that many of the store’s pages were probably written using artificial intelligence. This appears to be the case for the description of the tuning fork I wanted to buy, and it also seems true for many other products and blog posts. The writing felt bland and impersonal, which is what made me look into it. The issue is that many e-commerce sites have recently sprung up using AI because it makes it possible to generate text almost instantly. Some of these sites turn out to be assembly-line scams that never deliver orders—although I can’t state that as a fact in the case of Vibrations Positives.
In short, my opinion of Vibrations Positives remains very negative. The owner(s) of this store don’t appear to follow legal requirements, remain anonymous, and offer no real social proof. As a result, I didn’t find what I personally needed to order with confidence, so I chose not to buy anything. I don’t have anything more to add, except this: stay cautious.
Choose a trusted professional for your musical instruments
Sound therapy and music therapy stores are relatively rare, so it can be worth taking a closer look when an opportunity like Vibrations Positives comes up. However, you should pay close attention to your rights as a consumer. Thanks to the information in this article, you now know whether this business meets your expectations in terms of guarantees.
That said, if you’re looking for a reliable partner, it makes sense to choose a company that’s 100% transparent about its business. That’s why I recommend the Instruments du Monde store, which meets all current legal requirements while offering quality products—giving you the peace of mind you need to build real trust.

I also share my take on another online music therapy store. This is my review of Instruments Zen, which, once again, falls far short of complying with all the legal provisions designed to protect consumers.
