AcousticSheep SleepPhones Wireless | Bluetooth Headphones for Sleep, Travel, and More | The Original and Most Comfortable Headphones for Sleeping | Midnight Black - Fleece Fabric (Size M)

Edit: 6 Feb 21 I received these headphones the first week of March, 2019, almost 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with the purchase. At just under 2 years of use, they still work perfectly which, in my mind, is crazy, especially considering the plastic coating on the wires has started to crack like crazy the past few months. I'll try and add an image to show you what I mean. I use these headphones every single night and honestly didn't expect them to last 6 months because of the wires inside. I mean, I've never owned a pair of wired headphones that didn't start crackling after a couple of months, and stop working completely within 6 months, and that's without sleeping on them all night, every night. And to be clear, these are "wireless", but that only applies to how they connect to your source of entertainment. They still have wires inside that connect the individual earphones with the power source/electronics. I came in to write this review because just recently the headband has started to loosen up a bit, moving around on my head while I sleep so I decided to replace them before the wires completely break through and I'm left without until new ones arrive. I drive tow truck and already have a hard time sleeping, so getting up in the middle of the night and losing sleep is already a problem. Not being able to get back to sleep because of all the little noises (or the not so little noises coming from my right side) would become dangerous as my risk of falling asleep at the wheel would dramatically increase. Anyway, I'm ordering a replacement set before these die and will keep these as backup. An additional note is that I've since found out that you need to wash the headband to help prevent stretching, which I've never done. I know that probably sounds gross, but the headband isn't greasy or obviously dirty so I never really got around to it. I'm pointing that out to show that one of the 2 "problems" I have now could probably have been eliminated by washing them occasionally, but either way I don't care... 2 years of use for $99 of every single day use and good night's of sleep is well with it. And the second "problem" isn't actually a problem yet, because they still work perfectly. And to be honest, 6 months at that price would be worth it to me. Not sure why some people complain about them not lasting a year. Seriously, how many headphones have you had where the wires last that long with 8 hrs of use every single day, where you also lay on the wires all night long? None. At least for me, the answer is none. And one last thing- the battery still late so night long. So far, no noticeable loss in time. I'd say easily 9 or 10 hours of use can be had. Original review- I'm a light sleeper so these are very handy for providing quiet background noise to drown out TV, neighbors and snoring. I'm not naming names or anything, but let's just say these have helped me get much needed sleep. Especially as I work on call at night and can get up multiple times in a night if things are crazy. This is pretty comfortable and the battery definitely lasts all night.

I feel obligated to post a review for these given I nearly was swayed from buying them due to some reviews. Let's preface this quickly: I absolutely love these things and as far as I'm concerned they were worth the money even though they were a bit of a steep expense. Firstly, I saw people complaining about how the battery is difficult to access. I'm a bit confused by this. Only someone from an infomercial would struggle to extract the battery from these unless you really managed to jam it clear up into the band where it, frankly, should not be. The pack is right at the velcro opening. It is easy to insert and remove. It also charges quickly and is extraordinarily easy to pair with your bluetooth headset. If you plug your phone into say your car sound system, when you remove it your SleepPhones will immediately reconnect if they are still on. Secondly, the battery life. I turn these on in the morning before I leave for work and leave them on through my eight hour work day, so they are on and running for about nine hours. I've yet have the battery die on me in that time. I imagine the volume you have them at judges how long your battery will last, my volume is typically at half. I saw many people saying these will only last six hours but that is definitely not the case if you keep the volume at a moderate level. Thirdly, sound quality. So much better than I expected. Before I purchased these I wore a set of Philips Fidelo on ears at my job which have outstanding sound and was pleasantly surprised by these SleepPhones; despite the speakers being so small the sound is excellent and clear. I saw complaints about them not being loud enough but I have never needed to have them at maximum volume... they do in fact get quite loud. I use these both to sleep and to my job where we are not supposed to be wearing headphones at all. I work in a very noisy backroom and am one of the three people out of 30+ that actually has to use some amount of concentration to get my job done. If you need some comfy, undercover headphones, I highly recommend these. I have been wearing on ear headphones for years that make my helix and conch piercings hurt from the constant pressure, if you have lots of ear piercings and are looking for a comfy headset, I highly recommend these! And of course, they are surprisingly nice to sleep in. If you listen to ASMR videos these will change the way you enjoy ASMR videos forever. I travel internationally often and I imagine these will be excellent on an intl flight, much more comfortable than on ear headphones or earbuds for 12 hours. The one and only downside to these is that they do move around if you are moving around, but they are easy to adjust regardless. Like I said before, 100$ is a fairly steep price but depending on what you need/want these for, they are worth the price. Thanks AcousticSheep! UPDATE: I've owned these for coming up on two years now, I use them 4~5 days a week for up to 9hrs a day. The battery life has not decreased. The wires are perfectly fine. The sound quality has not diminished. You can remove the entire battery pack and headphones and toss the band in the wash with your laundry. The only thing that would make this product better would be some non-slip silicone. Even without that, I'm more than happy with this purchase and I'd happily buy again.

I have used sleep phones for probably 10 years now or close to it. I had resisted buying ones I needed to charge over wired because I rely on them every night and didnt want yet another device I needed to charge or get in bed and they be dead. The wired ones I averaged about 1 per yr, some lasted 6 months,, some last 2 to 3 yrs. If under warranty, the company would always replace them free of charge. Usually they go bad at connection point plug, but before that happens one side would usually go out which was frustrating. However I sleep on my side and often move them away from that ear, so I would rotate around my head as I switched sides. I do have some cheaper knock offs from Amazon, they work as back up for me or travel, but not as comfortable to me as sleep phones. Well my new puppy has been obsessed with eating them, hoping without a wire will be less enticing. So far comfortable, I dont notice the back battery, but again I'm a side sleeper. Its flat and soft with tiny buttons I can feel through the fabric to turn it on and off and adjust volume. I ordered the small size as I've had numerous medium and they eventually wont stay on my head. It's a tiny bit tight, but they stretch a little after wearing them a long time. I apparently have small head, I bought youth bike helmet to save money and many hats off the shelf I cant wear or have to buy a size insert, so medium prob best for most. I listen to audiobooks to go to sleep, so I prob listen about an 1 to 3 hours a night bc I usually about 3 times a night and set 30 min sleep timers so I dont get too far ahead. I just need it to fall asleep most nights, once I'm asleep usually ok unless husband's snoring really bad. I always get up to go to bathroom halfway and then have a bad habit of waking up an hour before my alarm. I've been charging it every 3 days based on this usage just bc I dont want it to be dead and sometimes end up listening for a couple hrs if cant sleep. I haven't experimented how long it can go. So I'm very glad that even though it's on and connected, it doesnt seem to be using a ton of battery if sound not actually playing as it's been "on" for 7 to 8 hrs nightly. Finally, I ordered the breeze fabric. It's my 2nd one with this fabric, mostly I've had fleece. I still have some fleece ones somewhere I can switch out. Fleece is softer, more flexible, seems to stretch out more. The breeze ones a little tighter at first. Not sure if they are actually cooler. I live in Florida, its rarely cold. I think fleece might be a little more comfortable. However this new one is thinner than past headbands, so harder to double as eye mask. I very rarely use it for that except when traveling it seems, so I actually avoid the kind that seem to be meant to be used that way. Plus side to being thinner is less of it on forehead, which not healthiest for skin if you forget to wash it sometimes. So far I really enjoy when I get up or switch sides throughout night that my phone is not being dragged off charger, onto floor etc. by wire. If these dont last though, $100 may be a bit much to justify. For wired ones, even though they seem expensive you are paying for idea, comfort, and I want company to stay in business. So I looked it as $40 per year to sleep, worth it and try not to compare it with sports headphones etc. But now we are getting into really nice headphone prices, so I'll update review if both sides of earphones dont last long enough. But when last ones were eaten I was online hoping there was prime delivery bc trying to sleep with ear buds was awful for 2 nights I had to wait! The decision will really be if convenience enough, battery still good (I dont want to have to charge every day) to warrant the replacement to be bluetooth vs wired. I'm out of back ups as puppy chewed though them all when he gets in bed in morning while im sleeping, so maybe I need to get one of those next. If I cant go back to wired and battery/ear pieces holds up, I can still prob justify $100 bucks every year or two for better sleep!

I wanted something so I could listen to podcasts while I fell asleep without being so loud as to wake up my partner. Amazon basically has two models for sale, one that is basically sold by a million companies (they always have some variation of the word "Enjoying" written on them), and then this one. I tried the other version and that one was awful. I sleep on my side and the speaker was WAY too thick and hurt my ear. So that's when I decided to splurge and buy this $100 version. PROS: +The headband is a nice material +The speakers are thinner than the competition +Sound quality is decent enough although I only use it for spoken word audio and not for music. CONS -The speakers are in fact thinner, but still not thin enough and are kind of uncomfortable for side sleepers -In order to charge this device, you have to unplug the Bluetooth/battery unit/remote and take it out of the headband. It's a fairly annoying process to have to do every other night, especially, since the tiny thin cords get all mangled inside the headband itself. -Because the speakers connect via the same MicroUSB, they only have one input and then split the cable to each of the speakers. This causes a lot of issues because the USB port is on one end of that control unit so the cable splits and goes relatively easily in one direction (not as easy as it should since its an L shape plug but I digress), but then must be forced and finagled to route to the opposite end which causes bunching and tangled cords inside the headband. -The remote/buttons/module thing is on the BACK of the headband when worn. Super annoying and hard to use when laying down. -No auto-shut off feature. I have my podcast app to stop playing after an hour but this headphone will stay on all night. -MicroUSB charging port instead of the better and future-proof USB-C -No way to tell how much battery you have left

Update 12-1-2014 Based on AcousticSheep's comment to my original review I gave them another shot. This time AccousticSheep was the seller. I've been using them now a month and it's time for an update. As before first the good news. The battery issues seem to be resolved. The battery seems to last 7.5-8 hours now. Hurray!! That goes a long way to addressing my deal breaker concerns from last time. But there is still bad news. The speakers still move around inside the band. A lot. Tightening the bad up doesn't help. They still move a ton. On the up side you do get sorta use to pushing them back into position while your half awake. They have added a velcro strip to the battery and speaker wire access. The edges of this are stiff and sharp. So, it's still a problem (and now a painful one) rooting around inside the band to get at the battery pack to charge it. Last but not least these absolutely announce that they are shutting down when they run out of battery power. Loudly! If you read the AcousticSheep comment below they say this is not the case. The upside is the battery last much longer now. You will have to charge these daily. If you forget you will be woken by them telling you that they are shutting down. Bottom line I added a star to my review and I am keeping them. I use them daily and intend to keep using them. The headphones are not perfect annoyingly so. But they are useful to me. Original Review: I had high hopes for this product. First the good news. I ordered the XL version of this for my big noggin. I wear a 7-7/8 hat size so I expected to be disappointed. Remarkably it fit very well and was comfortable! Noteworthy but not deal breakers: 1) The battery pack and wire access is difficult. I have big hands to go with my big head. I can get a finger in there to root around for stuff but it's not easy. 2) The speakers in this move around. Sometimes they move around a lot. If you sleep fairly still I doubt you would have a problem. I don't sleep still, I roll over frequently. That's why I wanted the Bluetooth version. If your like me at least one speaker will be off your ear by morning. But alas, you will not make it to morning...... Here is the deal breaker, the battery only lasts about 4 hours. Sometimes less. That in and of itself might not be the end of the world for you, but it announces quite loudly that it is shutting down. I can't sleep through that announcement. I'm guessing you won't either. But wait it gets worse! If you use the AcousticSheep App when the Bluetooth connection gets severed to your, in my case Apple, device the app keeps playing through the device speakers! At whatever volume the device was last set for. So, now not only are you awake, everybody in the room with you is awake! The bottom line is this product made the nights I used it worse for sleeping.

When I received my acousticsheep sleep phones I was so excited to try them out. They were extremely easy to pair with my iPhone 7 Plus. I started playing my music and noticed one of the speakers rattled during heavy base. This really concerned me and I was upset that I may have to return them for a replacement. In the meantime, I took everything apart to examine how it worked. What an ingenious idea. Someone should have come up with this sooner because I can see so many reasons to have one of these headbands. I decided to plug in the device and make sure it had a full charge before returning for my replacement. That night I tried the headphones again and what a difference a full charge made. The sound is now very clear and I am happy. There are only a couple of points that I hope the company will look into for future improvements. 1. While wearing these to fall asleep, I accidentally paused the music when I turn my head. The pressure between my head and a pillow pushes the very sensitive pause/play button. I suggest there should be a way to lock it to prevent that from happening. 2. More importantly, it concerns me that unit does not have an auto off feature. Music helps me fall asleep, but the unit stays on until the next morning when I wake up. I don’t know how to resolve that issue, but if it shut itself off after so many hours, that would be nice. If someone was using it while they were awake, they could just turn it back on again right away. 3. The headband is extremely comfortable, but it does cause your head to get a little warm because technically you’re wearing a headband around your ears like you would in cold weather. All in all, it’s a great product and I am definitely looking to purchase a couple of more for me and my kids.

I’ve been using this sleep band for about 2 months now. Are they comfortable? Yes. Sound quality is ok if you keep the volume up, but that wasn’t a big deal to me. The speakers tend to slide around a tad requiring you to make small adjustments after you put the headband on. Not a big deal. The issues I have come down to battery life and Bluetooth connection. My rife on the battery isn’t even that you have to charge it every single day. My issue is that you have to fish the whole piece out of the Velcro hole and finagle a micro usb cord into it (usb c would be so much better!). Maybe it’s just my unit but it doesn’t connect to the battery very easily. I have had several nights where I didn’t find out that there was no charge until it was to late to do anything about it. $99 a pop and there isn’t an app to let you know basic info like battery life? I’ve also had problems with the Bluetooth staying connected for the whole night. I have two different sleep tracks that I listen to that are both 8 hours long. One uses Changing binaural beats (guides you through each phase of sleep. You can find a track on YouTube) and the other one uses subliminal messages. It’s kinda disappointing to wake up and realize I didn’t get full use of the track because it lost connection half way through the night. Maybe I’m a bit harsh on this review but I just got PO’d while getting into bed and discovering a dead battery. You’re supposed to relax before bed not stress, right? AirPods spoiled me. FYI this band does an EXCELLENT job at holding down your AirPods while you sleep! But you run into comfort and battery life problems there...

My wife and I have had our headphones for about a year. They are well made, comfortable to wear sleeping, and the sound quality is pretty good. These three traits are important to me for this type of product. Other sleep bands have missed the mark on one of these three items. The only downside is they are a little finicky to get the power pod in and out to charge, but once you learn how, it's not too bad. The real kicker for me and the reason I am writing this review is that we recently went on a 4 day car trip and I took my sleep band along. By the time we got back all the clothes in my bag were dirty and I accidentally scooped up my sleep band with my clothes and put it all thru a wash and hot dry cycle. When the laundry was complete and I discovered my error I was sure the band was toast, and I was ready to order another. But then my wife tried the power button and it powered up and functioned normally. I am shocked that this band withstood that kind of abuse and is still functioning. Highly recommended!

Pretty satisfied with this purchase. It was recommended by a friend, to help with troubled sleeping. The sound quality is good, but you can still hear some louder outside noises. The material feel nice and the speakers are so thin that I can barely feel them even when sleeping on the side. The only disappointment was that the headband is not as high as in the picture, and it is a bit loose, despite getting the right size. The battery charge lasts for one night of use only.

My husband listens constantly to a radio (awake and in bed - I must be really boring!) anyway I have bought him various radios over the years and lots of different types of headphones. At night he has tried different types of headphones including those that purport to be cordless but has always deferred to his original large cordless "Cans" which are cumbersome and prevent him from sleeping in any other position than his back (and then, of course, he snores) When I saw these I thought they were the answer so bought them for him for Christmas. He loves them they are fantastic and work really well and they are wonderfully comfortable. The only problem is that his main (bedside) radio on which he is able to record programmes he misses during the day while at work does not have blue tooth so he can't use his new headphones with this. Fortunately he also got a kindle for Christmas so he can use the headphones with this and next Christmas he will be getting a recordable radio so he can use the SleepPhones happily ever after.

Se los regalé a mi marido y esta muy contento.Los utiliza en la cama para ver videos en el ipad y no enroscarse con los cascos o cuando sale a correr conectados al iphone. Dice que son muy comodos y que se oyen muy bien! Un acierto!

Best thing since sliced bread !!!!!!!!!

Super comodo per vedere serie tv e film a letto dal mio ipad. Posso sdraiarmi sul lato senza aver nessun problema di fastidio alle orecchie. Le batterie durano ore ed ore. Tessuto morbido. Prodotto di alta qualità, sicuramente.
