Bose Sleepbuds II - Sleep Technology Clinically Proven to Help You Fall Asleep Faster, Sleep Better with Relaxing and Soothing Sleep Sounds, White

Product Information

White noise and simulated thunderstorms aren't to everyone's taste, and the QuietOn 3 are a great alternative. The small, smooth earbuds fit comfortably in our ears — in fact, we’ve used no other earbud that has come close to being this comfy in any situation. Others include an alarm so you won’t need to worry about sleeping through your own – essential if you plan to use the headphones every night and don’t want to be repeatedly late for work. Those sleepers looking to stream directly from their device can easily connect their headphones via Bluetooth.

These headphones rest on the outside of the ear and wrap around with rubber-coated memory wire for a more comfortable, secure fit. These headphones don’t look like traditional earbuds and are even wired to a control unit designed to be positioned at the nape of the neck. The Bose QuietComfort® Earbuds II have passed IPX4 testing, which means they are protected against sweat and splashing water from any angle.In true Bose style, the earbuds are brilliantly crafted and definitely designed with 'premium' in mind. Some sleep masks and pillows have built-in speakers to give sleepers listening options without the use of conventional headphones. Made from flexible silicone, The ZQuiet Earplugs have a three-tier shape that should be both comfortable and functional for many sleepers.

Foam ear tips help them mold comfortably to your ear, and each set of earbuds comes with extra small, small, medium, and large size tips so that you can select the option that’s best for you. The longer stem design isn't the most ideal for side sleepers, but the earbuds aren't too intrusive. Following the manufacturer’s care instructions can help you keep your sleep headphones hygienic without damaging them. A successor to the original QuietOn Sleep, the QuietOn 3 sleep earplugs use the same noise-cancelling tech you'd find in a pair of true wireless headphones to mask the annoying ambient sounds that can stop you falling (and staying) asleep.The sleep tracking feature was effective, generating data comparable to what we got from our Apple Watch, plus information on sleeping position.

We appreciated this because we don’t keep our phone in the bedroom overnight for better sleep hygiene, and didn’t mind missing out on those features (the alarm was very subtle and didn’t wake us, though your mileage may vary).Exceptionally comfortable and beautifully designed, the Bose Sleepbuds’ small size and lightweight construction means they're not only ideal for sleeping in, but they are able to replace busy city street noises, loud neighbors or a snoring partner - all with soothing sounds to help you drift off. Silicone models generally rest at the entrance of the ear and do not penetrate the ear canal much, if at all.

Bose Sleepbuds II review | TechRadar

That's much more than a typical pair of silicone or foam earplugs, but they're durable and should last much longer. That said, QuietOn uses advanced ANC technology that makes it easy to block out usual sleep distractions. Ultra-slim, Bluetooth-enabled speakers rest inside the fabric band to deliver high-quality sound while reducing ambient noise. And if you really struggle sleeping or intend to use the headphones every night, it’s best to choose ones designed for lying down to ensure they’re as comfortable as possible. To tell you the truth, I couldn’t find much difference between many of the Noise Masking and Naturescapes sounds, especially since the former uses several nature sounds, such as a campfire or a breeze blowing.A carrying case included with each purchase also makes the earbuds handy travel accessories during long flights or overnight stays in loud hotels. Users can adjust the volume directly on the inside of the eye mask without having to access their phone or tablet. Most experts consider sleeping with earplugs safe, but it does carry potential risks, like earwax buildup, damage to the ear canal, and blocking out important sounds. While with the Bose you set a timer to control how long playback continues, a sleep detection feature turns off the ZenBuds once you fall asleep. The removable cover is quite soft and made from a micromink polyester fabric that’s quilted to feel plush.
