OzloSleepbuds® | Comfortable Side Sleeper Headphones | Up to 10 Hours of Bluetooth LE Streaming | Science-Backed Sleep Sounds | Snore Blocking Comfortable Earbuds

I am a pretty light sleeper. I have four children, ages 9-17, and sometimes they stay up late, sometimes they wander into my room to get something or other late at night, sometimes my husband snores or coughs, :) and sometimes we have a train that goes by the house at night. Just typical life stuff, but I crack my eyelid for a second when I hear things, and obviously that's pulling me out of good sleep. I used to turn on the fan in my bathroom, hoping to drown out some of the noise. I also got a white noise maker to try to drown things out even more. I liked having those things, but I was still being woken up. These sleepbuds are a life saver for blocking all those little noises that would normally interrupt my sleep (even if just briefly).First, they are very comfortable. The medium size fits my ear very well. You need to twist it back into your ear for the little wing tip to fit snugly into the groove of your ear. Once you've got them in, there is no risk of them falling out. I am a side sleeper and 95% of the night I sleep on only my right side, so I usually just put the left ear in, and my right ear is pressed against the pillow.The sounds in the app are very soothing. My favorite right now is Crimson Cloak, which has a very nice even tone in the middle range. It's perfect white noise. I've also slept with the crackling fire one, and the raindrops one - and both are also soothing. But, I go back to the simple white noise options most often. There are not very many sleep sounds in the Ozlo app, only about ten (I'd love if there were more options), but I had no trouble finding one I like. Plus, I have a subscription to Headspace and I'm able to use these sleepbuds with their night sounds if I want. One thing I like about the sounds in the app is that they don't overwhelm. It doesn't feel like anything is blasting in your ear. The sound almost feels "far away" like you're hearing it from outside a window. This is not a defect of the earbuds, because I can use the buds when listening to other things on my phone and it sounds great. I think it is a feature of the sounds within the app. They don't feel overwhelming, and I have no trouble falling right to sleep.My husband thinks I must be getting into a pretty deep sleep when I wear them, because he says I make noises in my sleep when I'm really out :) and I've been doing that ever since wearing these. I dream often, so maybe that's why?? Every morning my husband is asking, "Did you hear me cough? Did you hear me get up in the night? Did you hear the dog bark?" and whenever I answer "no" he is super impressed.I sleep about 7-8 hours a night and the battery always lasts through the night. But, they do have to go back in the case to charge every day. One night I put one of the earbuds back in the case flipped 180, and so it didn't charge, and that night it did not have enough battery to use it.Connecting them up to my phone was easy. They walk you through how to do it in the app. It took about 30 minutes for the updates to download and then it was ready to go. They auto connect via bluetooth when I open the case. But, one odd thing is that to disconnect them I have to put them back in the case, close the lid, and then turn off my bluetooth for a second so they disconnect. I'm hoping that is something that can be fixed, so they disconnect automatically when I put them back in the case in the morning.My husband keeps talking about wanting to try them, but I'm reluctant to not have them for a night while he tries them out :). I guess I'll just have to get him his own pair!

Had them less than 24 hours and I already know … they are going back.Bottom line: Don’t waste your time and money with these. Go for a cheap, ~35-ish pair and get about the same performance with better battery life and a better charging case. Or - if you only care about noise blockage and not streaming or sleep sounds, get the wax ear plugs ($15 for 10 reusable pairs) and sleep sleep sleep away in silence, even on an airplane.I read the reviews of Ozlo and decided to try them anyway, even with the mixed sentiments. I am an experienced user of sleep buds and ear plugs due to years of travel, noise sensitivity, and a snoring spouse. These absolutely are not worth the money. The flags arose even before sleeping with them.Red flag #1: Trying to download the update. They were connected to my phone but the app didn’t recognize that and wouldn’t install the update. Tried over several hours and this morning. No dice.Red flag #2: They don’t charge evenly. Not sure how or why, but after several hours in the case, one was 100% and one was 3%. As another reviewer said, the case looks and feels nice but is impractical and, I think, very sensitive to perfect positioning. If the case is anywhere but on a flat surface, I fear it won’t work properly. Not good if you travel.Red flag #3: The fit isn’t snug enough to block sound. Nuff said about that. Also, one came out of my ear while sleeping and I had to look for it. You don’t want that on a plane or in a hotel room.For fun, at the same time, I purchased a $35 pair to evaluate them side by side. I am keeping those. They are slightly bigger but still comfortable and, for the money, seem to do just as well. They also have a cool feature where you click four times and it turns them to sleep mode so that you don’t press buttons via the pillow while you sleep. They give you the audible that they are in sleep mode. Great.If Beats Fit Pro were smaller and had a feature to go to a similar sleep mode, they would be fabulous sleepers for home.I also have the Philips Kokoon. I would recommend these over the Ozlo, even though their sound quality isn’t the greatest. The best thing about these is that they connect quickly and easily, and the left and right are held together by a wire that goes behind your neck. It’s not bad and you get used to it. That’s also good for airplanes and hotel rooms because you are less likely to misplace one.Skip the Ozlo’s. Not worth the money.
