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

I received my first "pair" of SleepPhones (black felt, medium) yesterday and used them last night while falling asleep, so the review is for my initial impressions and not long-term durability. It took me a minute to figure out the proper way to wear them -- I think the label goes up by the top of your forehead, facing in a way that someone looking at you would be able to read it -- this leaves the speaker wire hanging down your back. The speakers were pretty much in the right position, but I did have to nudge one of them a little to get it in front of my ear. My first experience with them was listening to a guided visualization/meditation, binaural ASMR style (ASMR stimulates a relaxing sensory response in some people). Right away, I was very impressed with the speaker quality. I would say it is as-good as my $200 on-ear pair, but far and away more comfortable for sleeping. The headphones become one with the pillow and are almost "invisible" in that sense. I say "almost" because the headband itself, while a perfect fit for me (average size women's head), was a tiny bit uncomfortable and warm, but it's a minor detail overall and I can't really think of a better way to get speakers to stay on my head (except to try the molded in-ear headphones, which I've yet to shell out for). I'll add that I have tried LOTS of different headphones and never really found any of them to be comfortable for more than 30 minutes or so. The SleepPhones were far more comfortable, sounded great, and did not bother my ears at all! Given how comfortable they are, I am curious to try a headband made from a lighter fabric for daytime use. For night-time, however, the soft plush felt is the way to go, IMO. Moving on... the cable is braided and although thin is nice quality and doesn't get twisted up like some of the thicker cable styles. There cable is long enough to place your playing device (iPhone, etc.) on the bed-stand, but I would say it is just long enough for this purpose and you can't really move. While you can purchase aux cable extenders, an extra foot of length would be nice to have and I can't see how it would add much to their manufacturing costs. I think this point has been made by other reviewers. When my meditation ended, I woke up enough to take these off, meaning I did not sleep through the night with them. Judging by my experience, I expect that they would be comfortable for many hours of sleeping/wear and the only problem would be tangling yourself in the cable when moving in your sleep. I have fallen asleep with regular headphones (my v-moda on-ear) and the extended pressure causes discomfort on the ears that can last for an hour or more. I think the SleepPhones would even be suitable for side sleeping since I turned by head to the side while wearing them, and the speaker is so low-profile that it just blended into the pillow. Overall, I have to give 5 stars when comparing these to the general quality of what's out there. You can tell a lot of attention went into making these and the price is reasonable too. I hope they hold-up because most of my cheaper headphones lose sound in one speaker after a while. If they last a year or even six-months of heavy use, I will be very happy and will have considered this money well spent for enabling my relaxation time.

UPDATE: I have since purchased an Size Extra Small SleepPhone and, after a couple of nights to get used to the tighter fit, it is MUCH more comfortable and the sound quality is actually even better b/c it is a tighter fit. Pros: -- VERY comfortable - it's very lightweight and I can barely tell I'm wearing it; it appears to stay in place through the night. -- You'll be sure to hear the fire/house alarm as it does not block external noises (e.g. snoring) -- The cord is long enough to keep you phone on the nightstand. -- It's less expensive than the Bluetooth versions -- and less bulky due to the absence of the Bluetooth module. -- Sound quality is very good - no issues at all with the sound quality. Possible Cons: -- Does NOT block external noises. If you are trying to block out snoring, this definitely will NOT do it. -- The cord would be better if it was just a itty bitty bit longer. (e.g. six inches?) -- It's not Bluetooth compatible. -- At a normal listening level, your bed partner/someone near you MIGHT be able to faintly hear noise coming from the band, but not enough for them to be able to distinctly hear what is being played and it certainly shouldn’t be a nuisance to them. About me: Head size: 21inches SleepPhones Size: M – One Size Fits Most -- UPDATE: I have since purchased an Size Extra Small SleepPhone and, after a couple of nights to get used to the tighter fit, it is MUCH more comfortable and the sound quality is actually even better b/c it is a tighter fit. Mostly Side-sleeper Have been using the product for about 3 weeks at time of this review. Thankfully, my husband is not a "shake the house" snorer, and his rhythmic snoring actually puts me to sleep some nights. Oddly enough though, it’s his audible mouth breathing that keeps me awake, so I had gotten in the habit of putting in my ear buds and listening to calming instrumental music so I could have something else to focus on while trying to get to sleep. (YellowBrickCinema, on YouTube, has some GREAT soothing music, and they have many tracks that are a full 8hrs long!) Earbuds worked great, and they even blocked out his snoring completely, but (a) they aren’t comfortable and (b) they are not good for your ear health (e.g. bacteria) and (c) I felt like I couldn’t move around much due to their placement and lack of comfort – plus, the cords running from my ears always ended up on my face. So, I went on a search for an alternative to earbuds. I really wanted to get a Bluetooth compatible device. After comparing most brands and styles, AcousticSheep seemed to be the most reliable and well made, but the Bluetooth option was just a bit more than I was willing to pay, so I decided to try out their Classic Wired version – “maybe the single cord won’t be that big of a deal”, I thought. I was RIGHT! I DO wish the cord was a just a tad bit longer though. I sleep on my left side – the nightstand also sits to the left of the bed, so essentially, I am facing the nightstand – a single cord runs behind my head, then under my pillow and into my phone on the nightstand with no issue. Granted, I don’t roll around a lot in my sleep – I mostly stay on my left side or roll over onto my stomach and sometimes I rollover onto my back – but I have yet to get tangled in the cord or have my phone fall off the nightstand due to any of my movements. Still, I tend to feel like I’m at the “end of my rope” so it would be nice if it were “plenty long enough” instead of “just long enough”. The BEST thing I LOVE about this product is how COMFORTABLE it is! Again, I sleep on my side, so I was specifically looking for something that wouldn’t press on my ear cartilage when laying on the speakers, and I swear I can’t even feel the speakers AT ALL! Now, this may have something to do with my pillow – I use a medium firm pillow, but it has lost a lot of its shape and has become quite soft; Maybe someone using a more firm pillow might feel the speakers, but I would think it would have to be a REALLY firm pillow – so firm that I can’t imagine how the speakers would actually make it any less comfortable at that point. Lol -- The headband is super soft; It is also not very thick at all and very breathable, which makes it very lightweight and less likely to generate any heat on my head. -- It’s not too tight and not too loose – just right for me! I seriously cannot even tell it’s on my head! -- I wear my hair in a high ponytail at night and the band runs from the base of my head and then sits high on my forehead, -- again, can’t even feel it on my face, and I certainly don’t feel like my face is being pushed down. -- The speakers are SUPER THIN - like millimeters thick - and they are shielded with a course burlap type fabric on each side to make them flush on both sides inside the headband. The speakers can also be re-positioned to cover exactly where your ears are when wearing the band – they can be moved inside the band with ease, but not so much ease that they would move around while you are actually wearing the band. -- The speakers can also be completely removed to wash the headband. They weren’t exactly the easiest to remove and reinsert, but it certainly wasn’t hard or frustrating by any stretch of the imagination, just takes a bit of patience is all; the hardest thing is literally just figuring out the left/right orientation, if that even matters to you. (the speakers are marked). I haven’t washed mine yet, but I don’t foresee there being any issue. The Velcro enclosure on the back of the band is very well protected by fabric and the entire band seems to be very well made.

السماعه جيدة ومريحه لكن السلك غير مريح للنوم

I received these headphones about a year ago. The quality is nice and the sound is decent, not the best but far from the worst. It is a tradeoff for the thinness of the speaker. They are quite comfortable to wear which is the main thing I was looking for as a side sleeper but they can get painful if you have a harder pillow as it really pushes the speaker against your ear. I was initially going to give it 4 stars but I had an absolutely amazing customer service that boosted it to 5. About 6 months ago I noticed some squealing and popping on certain things I was listening to. It was so specific and sporadic that I initially thought it was what I was listening to instead of the speakers. It slowly started to get worse and I would play the same thing with a higher quality headset and noticed that it was fine. So I checked my purchase date and I was within a few weeks of the 1 year warranty expiring. I sent an email to the manufacturer asking if my issue was covered by warranty (since it was not outright broken) and they told me to send it in. Their warranty submission form says that turn around is 4-6 weeks for Canada but they had a parcel sent back to me within a few days of receiving the old speakers. I paid to ship to them and they paid return shipping to me. When I received it they had included a nice card with a HANDWRITTEN thank you note that was personalized to me apologizing for the problems I had and that the replacement speakers qualify for a new 1 year warranty. The most that you normally see anymore is a quick "Thanks for your order" written on the packing slip so any company that goes the extra mile like this deserves the recognition. Thank you to Brooke in CS and Jenna for the note as well as the entire AcousticSheep team. Because of this I would thoroughly recommend products from this company.

these are good and comfortable compared to all the other sleepband things like this. The speakers are thinner than other cheap brands and because they're wired i don't have to worry about forgetting to charge it or hear an annoying robot voice describing what i am doing just to make sure i know. My speakers cable broke tho but they were very kind to send a replacement to me, and it's much appreciated because this was expensive

La razón por la que uso estos audífonos es porque comparto apartamento por lo que no puedo tener un despertador de altavoz. Es cómodo al momento de ir a dormir, aunque a veces me quedan las orejas adoloridas al despertar (digamos una de cada 3 mañanas y no dura mucho la molestia). Dicha molestia es un precio bajo a pagar por una solución infinitamente mas cómoda que ponerme audífonos de chicharo o diadema al dormir pues yo duermo exclusivamente de lado. Voy en mi segundo par. El primero me duró alrededor de un año y no tenerlo por unas mañanas subsecuentes a que se dejaran de funcionar no fue placentero. Me son indispensables ya.

Doesn’t have charged cord the one in the picture is old cord no way to charge , and Bluetooth doesn’t connect
