Bose Created Noise-Masking Sleepbuds to Help You Sleep Better at Night

From House Beautiful

Nothing, and I repeat nothing, is m ore infuriating to me than not being able to sleep due to noise around me. Whether it's a snoring bed partner, construction work outside, or a loud roommate, I'm sure many can relate to the frustration. In personal experience, I've tried bulky sound-cancelling headphones, or blaring music in my AirPods loud enough to drown out the noise-and well, those methods are both extremely uncomfortable and probably awful for my ears.

Bose Sleepbuds, on the other hand, are tiny, wireless earphones designed to stay in place throughout the night. The noise-masking Sleepbuds seal off unwanted noise (like excessive snoring), while playing sounds "that have been optimally tuned to mask those noises that interfere with your sleep," according to the product description.

The Sleepbuds eliminate the need for a sound machine, since you can choose to fall asleep to the sound of rolling waves on the beach, rustling leaves, or the crackling of a campfire, to name a few. Within the Bose Sleep app, there's an entire library of different sounds-some for noise-masking and others for relaxation.

To design the Sleepbuds for the most comfortable fit, Bose used 3-D scans to better understand ear geometry. The tiny earbud conforms to the upper ridge of your ear, so the tip stays in place throughout the night, even for side sleepers. There are three ear-tip sizes (small, medium, and large) that come with the Sleepbuds, so you can see which best fits the shape of your ear.

The rechargeable battery on the Sleepbuds provides up to 16 hours of use (more than an entire night of sleeping). The earbuds come with a charging case, too, that stores and charges the Sleepbuds when you're not using them.

After you choose which soothing sound you want to sleep to, you set your volume level, and decide how long you want the Sleepbuds to play during the night. You won't have to worry about the earphones masking your alarm-you can set one through the Sleepbuds.

One reviewer on Amazon said, "they fit, they stay in, you can sleep on your side with the pillow pushing the earbud into your ear-and thus they do what all other ear buds fail to do." The same review, though, complained about the price (given that the earbuds don't even play music). Also, the reviewer noted that the only way to control the volume is through the app, which requires that yo u use your phone in the middle of the night should you choose to adjust the volume in your ears.
