Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small but powerful sleek design awesome quality and it does exactly what it suppose to. Great gift idea as well

Wish it had more choices for sounds. Lots of water sounds and those don’t help me sleep. Make my ears a little sore.

Fit easily into the ears and you forget they're in there. Hold a charge well.

Really cancelled out my neighbor’s snoring. Woke up feeling refreshed.

Seemed to help immediately ( first time used) and helped more with further use

Works well as described. Still wish they could be used as earbuds also.

Awesome product works great every night. Worth the higher end price.

solid replacement for ear plugs - comfortable and easy to sleep in.

Great product for a light sleeper like myself. Helps me fall asleep fast

Able to sleep with them comfortably. haven't used the alarm as yet

Good price. Bought for my nephew and he we as rs them everyday. Only neg is tive is it needs better base.

They will mask all those Noises that light sleepers wake up to.

These sleep buds are very limited. There are only a handful of tones to listen to, and you are required to use the Bose app otherwise they will not work. I sleep on my side with a Tempur-pedic pillow and these hurt my ears. Didn’t want to return them but I just couldn’t justify the price for how limited they are.

Directly from my wife, "I've been loving my new birthday present! The last 4 days, I haven't woken up to my husband getting out of bed or closing the bathroom door or turning on the shower or turning off the shower or opening the bathroom door or opening the bedroom door or closing the bedroom door or turning off the bathroom fan. It's been great!"

Bose has come out with a line of wireless earbuds that are directed towards an audience that suffers from difficulty sleeping whatever the reason may be. If you live near a noisy city or maybe have loud neighbors or perhaps you just suffer from insomnia then these may be the ear buds for you. These ear buds are pretty straight forward and i will do my best to get straight to the point and hopefully this review will help in deciding rather or not this is a right buy for you. First and foremost i want to stress that these earbuds WILL NOT stream music at all. I will get to the reason why later but if you buy these understand they will not stream any kind of music and Bose has no intention of making this a possibility in the near future. First i just want to talk briefly on the design. At this price point you are going to get a real quality design here. This is a typical wireless earbud set up. The earbuds will come with the storage case which also serves as its charging dock. You will get three different earbud sizes, S/M/L. USB charging cable and travel case are also provided as well. First thing i noticed off the bat is how well the case is built. It doesn't feel flimsy at all and the earbuds connect very easily to the charging dock via magnets. This makes lining them up for charging a breeze. There are five indicator lights on the charging case itself to let you know the cases battery life also when you plug in your earbuds to charge there will be solid white lights that flash directly under each earbud to let you know two things, one its connected properly and two it is currently charging. When the lights turn solid white they are fully charged. Now the earbuds itself is claimed to have a battery life of 16 hours which should give you about two days depending on how long you sleep. I pushed it and was able to get two full 8 hour days out of it barely. I would recommend just charging them every morning to play it safe. The charging case itself will hold enough battery power when not connected to a power source to give the earbuds one good full charge on a depleted earbud battery level. After that the case will need to be charged up again. What worked best for me was just leaving the case plugged in all the time and setting the earbuds in the case each morning after i woke up so they would be ready to go once i was ready for bed at the end of the day. These earbuds are meant to be slept with and left in the ear all night long and Bose claims that they will be comfortable now matter how you sleep, even if you sleep on your side. So this was one area i was a little skeptical in due to the fact that i have never been one who was ever able to fall asleep with headphones or earbuds on just because they would always bother me. I will say it was a little weird sleeping with them on but i can honestly say they where never truly uncomfortable. I was actually impressed with how comfortable they really are and i think alot of that has to do with how small of a design Bose made these earbuds. While sleeping on my side i never felt like the weight of my head was pushing the earbuds deeper in my ears. I also never got any added pressure from pillow while being on my side and not once did i ever feel like they were going to fall out. This is all due to the design and reason why you cannot stream music on these earbuds. Bose wanted to make a comfortable headset that you could sleep with but in order to achieve that they went with a smaller hardware which meant they had to sacrifice its streaming capability. The earbuds themselves are already preset from the factory with 10 different soothing sounds plus they also had to leave room for their ANC (active noise cancellation). To be able to also stream music with such a small piece of hardware wasn't going to be possible. Now lets talk about what exactly these buds do and what kind of sounds you can expect to get out of them. First off before you can use them you will need to download the Bose sleep app from your local android or apple store. Once the app is downloaded and connected to your earbuds you are ready to get going on your sleep set up. From the app you can control a few different functions. You will be able to control volume level, pick from 10 different soothing sounds, set an alarm to wake you up without waking up your neighbor and you can even set it up to shut the soothing sounds off at a certain time or let them play all night long. Some of the soothing sounds you have to chose from are as follows: Rustle (leaves blowing in the wind),cascade (which is waterfall sounds), Shower (the sound of rain), Circulate (which makes the noise similar to a large fan), Altitude (which will make you feel like your in an airplane), swell (ocean sounds), campfire(crackling of wood and crickets chirping), Warm static (this one is a weird one to describe but Bose calls it brown noise), Downstream ( flowing water similar to a creek), and tranquility(light tranquil music). Bose also has stated that they plan to release more sounds with future updates however due to the hardware capability don't expect too much. These sounds along with the fact these earbuds have noise cancellation will make it a little bit easier to fall asleep. Me and my wife both struggle to fall asleep and we actually have a smart speaker in our room that we use to play white noise in the form of rain falling. The only problem with using a speaker is one of us usually doesn't hear it too well as the other person depending on where we position our speaker. The nice thing about these earbuds though is that if you have a significant other that may be able to sleep just fine you can pop these in and listen to your white noise without disturbing them. Another awesome thing is the fact that you can have your alarm sound in your earbuds to wake you and only you this way you don't have wake up your significant other if its not their time to wake yet. But probably one the most beneficial things to this earbud set up that i really like is the immersive effect it has on you. Since it has noise cancellation it is able to drown out most outside noises and give you only what you want to hear. And since they fit directly in your ears so well you will hear the sounds from all angles. Lets say you pop on the campfire noise, the immersion is done so good that you can close your eyes and feel almost as if you are outdoors laying right next to the campfire with nature all around you. Now one thing i wish Bose would of done since they are targeting people with sleep issues is added binaural sounds in the background. As far as i know the only sound that contains this or comes close is the warm static sound. I'm not exactly sure if they added any binaural sounds in the background but as far as i can tell i don't hear any. If you don't know what binaural sounds are, well without getting too technical they basically are high frequency sounds that some people can and can't hear that help the brain with different functions. They operate on the delta waves and are supposed to help with different functions such as memory, relaxation, sleep and so on. Now i may be wrong but as far as i have read from Bose the sounds do not seem to contain them plus i don't seem to pick up on them which i usually can. Everyone has different opinions on rather or not they work but i fell they do and it would be nice to see them implemented in something that is supposed to be used for a sleep aid. Now the noise cancellation is good but don't expect it to cancel everything out. Some noise will still enter through but it will sound muffled. Once you start your white noise however almost all outside noise will seem to vanish. But don't worry you really don't want complete noise cancellation while your sleeping for cases of emergency alarms going off or if you have young ones you need to listen out for. All in all this is a great buy with no flaws that i can seem to find so far. You are buying from a big brand name hitter that is very fluent in noise cancellation and sound control. If you have a husband (or wife) that snores, or maybe you live in a crowded city or college dorm room than these are a must for you. I just recently bought a puppy for my wife and i forgot just how much they cry at night. All i know is once i pop these earbuds in i can sleep soundly and no longer hear that puppy bark all night long anymore (thank god!). In all reality if your having trouble sleeping for whatever the reason is i think these could help out quite a bit. They may not be a fix all but they definitely helped me sleep much better. Pros: -16 hour earbud life -Good noise cancellation -Sturdy charging case -10 different sounds to choose from -Alarm clock -Comfortable to sleep in Cons: -DOES NOT STREAM MUSIC!! (Not really a bad thing more of a FYI)

My quality of sleep has increased exponentially since buying these Sleepbuds! Due to my hubby's snoring, I would have to use a box fan by the side of the bed, a white noise machine, benadryl, and melatonin to sleep every night...now I pretty much just put in my Sleepbuds and go to sleep to the sound of a "rain shower". I can't hear the hubby now at all. They are AMAZING

These help my wife sleep with my snoring. Amazing for vacations.

I love Bose products when I knew about the noise masking sleep buds, the next day I bought them. What was my surprise that there is no noise reduction is just about noise. They have 5 different noises and you can not hear your music. I hope they could have a new app upgrade with more applications. Muisc for example

Great for my daughter to use at school to block noise during testing.

These really help to block out the noise from my husband’s CPAP.
