      Thanks for sharing your experience. I would like to present our deepest apologies for all the inconvenience.

      We suggest trying the following:
      - Make sure you wear the ear tips and ear wings correctly.
      - Choose the ear tips and ear wings that fit your ears the best, we recommend that you start with size M ear tips and ear wings.
      - Insert the earbud into your ear and find a suitable position for the best fit. If the earbuds are too deep in your ears, it may affect the Bluetooth connection. If you experience connection issues, we recommend that you replace the ear tips and wings with larger ones.
      - When using them in bed, try a different soft pillow.
      - Use soft pillows. Pillows that are too hard may exert more pressure on your ears if you sleep on your side, which can affect the connection to your phone.
      - Do not use water pillows or pillows with metal or magnetic components.

      I have documented your information and would forward it to our product team for further improvement. You know, a perfect product requires several improvements per the customer's voice and we always strive to improve our products. Appreciate your voice on this!

    Sleep buds ok, app is terrible

    These come in a small lightweight charging case & are small & lightweight themselves. I have small ears & they fit well in my ears, they stayed in all night without falling out & I’m a restless sleeper. There are four sets of of ear tips & 3 sets of ear wings to fit your size, these were hard to put on. The first night I used them they hurt my ears so bad I had to take them out, they also didn’t mute my husbands snoring at all. It’s great that you can still hear everything going on around you , in case your smoke alarm goes off, but they don’t do much for muting sound very well. The second night I used them I did fall asleep with them in & they were a bit more comfortable. They paired easily with the app but the app is awful, you can’t save the sounds you like in a library, you have to go in their music library download which one you want & then go back to sleep library & play the sound. It’s very confusing & you have to download the sound every time. There’s a lot to pick from & they sound good while playing, sounds like it’s all around your head, but it’s a real pain to download the same sound every time. You can save sleep data & add your own music but I just want relaxing sounds not loud music at night. The charge seems to hold up ok, I had a problem with the left earbud, I only used it once for an hour & it was in need of charging again. They fit magnetically in the case & that side was hard to put in so maybe it never charged right the first time. These are just ok, I’d wait & save up for a better pair, hopefully they make much needed updates to the app.

    Awesome sleep buds that do work!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Gone are the restless sleepless nights with these ear buds! The technology these have is amazing, where they have the ability to not only play sleep sounds like water or white noise but also audio/music from Bluetooth at the expense of battery life. Finally! Pros: Fit is excellent Charging is relatively quick Battery life is good Sound quality is great Bluetooth sleep ability and smart switch feature to change them over to sleep mode automatically and save battery life What could be better: The app seemed confusing and didn't explain well how the modes and volume controls work once you have enabled sleep mode. (That said, they are updating it and listening to feedback it seems, and have done so since I got these and I know how to set them up now.) Sleep tracking and smart switch were hit and miss.. most nights it worked okay but there were some where it didn't correctly detect my sleep and you have to have them on to look at the data and there's no integration to Samsung Health that I could see. A suggestion that could take these to a new level and differentiate these while improving tracking.. they could include a special Bluetooth LE wrist band that offloads sleep detection and sleep patterns and bring other sensors onboard to actually monitor your sleep and breathing to perfect this experience so you can use that data to actually help with improving sleep habits by seeing what works great and doesn't. :) The detailed review: For me, I usually go to sleep with the TV playing something that I usually relax to like a documentary and set to sleep the TV in 30 mins. Where I find I have trouble falling asleep is when I travel and can't follow this routine or there happens to be noise around like a running AC unit, fan or other people as I have a floor above me. In addition, I am a side sleeper so sometimes have difficulty falling asleep if I can't get comfortable and normal headphones or speakers inside pillows just never work. I have added this context as everyone has their approach to falling asleep so am hoping that helps others. First, these fit great and to me feel almost nothing is there especially once I've started a track or sleep sound. If you're a side sleeper like me, I found these very comfortable but I also tend to tolerate things in my ears generally as well. If you're someone who literally can't stand anything in your ear you may want to try a small sleeping ear plug to get a feel for what it's like but the difference is these rest gently inside your hear and don't "press in" so to speak. It took a couple nights to adapt these to my routine and the fit/feel seemed to take a couple of nights as well. So I'd recommend checking the fit feel after a couple nights and making adjustments. What is helpful is when you set these up they do walk you through how to wear them so getting them set right is easy the first time. Once fit properly, with the right track playing it does mask or block out nearly all of the background noises that you might hear. I usually have a fan that turns on a few times throughout the night and sometimes it wakes me but with these in I haven't been woke up at all and they do block out most of the typical background noise you'd have in your house. I also live near a railroad crossing and sometimes get woke up by that (it is distant but do hear them in the early morning hours). With these in I didn't hear it at all. Keep in mind these are not noise cancelling with the size they are and are not intended to be used a normal Bluetooth headphones but they do mask out most of the ambient background noises. I have been using the Bluetooth mode a lot as there are a number of sleep apps that I like and have never fully utilized because the right bud up until now has been available. For that, these are perfect and do exactly as I want. The only thing is when you have music mode on know that notifications will come through if your phone isn't set to mute them after certain hours. A lot of newer phones do this so if yours isn't check your settings. The alarm feature in these works wonderfully and I feel confident now that I will wake up on time for work as it's not just something I can sleep through so easily I've found but not mind jarring either when it goes off. Overall, these are excellent ear buds and it's clear the technology is improving, getting smaller and making it so you can actually use buds to fall and stay asleep. Having had them for several nights I have adapted them in to my sleeping routine where others I have tried just don't work as their content for sleep sounds is limiting and with these you are not limited to what they allow you to listen to through the app and the smart switch when it works makes it limitless in terms of adapting them to your needs.

    Comfortable and Useful for Helping to Fall Asleep

    The Soundcore Sleep A10 Earbuds are surprisingly small and fit well in the ears (there are a number of different sized tips to ensure a good fit). While wearing them during sleep, you can barely notice them in your ears. The earbuds can play both music and white noise. On the music side, don't expect these to replace your daily drivers, but for sleeping they are OK. The low and mids sound well, but the highs are a little weak. But again, they are to help you sleep, not on your daily commute. I prefer the white noise generated by the app. The offers are soothing and relaxing and do a great job washing out any external noise. They do not have ANC, but do a nice job removing external sounds. There are a number of soothing white noise options so any user should be able to find a sound that helps them relax and drift off to sleep. Overall, the earbuds are a great addition to anyone that struggles to fall asleep either due to external noise (city sounds, etc.) or whose mind has a hard time winding down at night. I will definitely be taking these earbuds on my future travels as they are a great companion to help me sleep better.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I would like to present our deepest apologies for all the inconvenience.

      To fix the charging issue, we kindly ask you to try the following tips:

      1. Confirm the charging case has power left (open the charging case to check if there is white light flashing).
      2. Clean the charging pins with a dry cloth and rubbing alcohol. This is to ensure all charging contact pins on the earbuds and charging case is completely clean and dry from sweat and water. Then put the earbuds correctly into the case. The first light flashes twice when the left earbud is placed in the case. The third light flashes twice when the right earbud is placed in the case.
      3. Use the certified charging cable and wall charger.
      4. Check whether the ear tips and ear wings are installed properly.
      5. Make sure the earbuds are put in the charging case correctly.

      About the app, would you please provide more details? We are striving to make efforts to improve the soundcore app in all aspects.

      If those don't help, please reach out to us via service@soundcore.com or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973. We are more than happy to assist you further.

    They were very comfortable in my ears. The fit was snug and secure. It didn't feel them while sleeping. They cancel out noise pretty good. I have the typical city noises for cars riding by or loud music. The sleep sounds are very soothing and my personal preference is the rain or white noise. I have another device that tracks my sleep and they pretty much had the same stats of me getting a good nights sleep. Actually showed that my sleep improved and I had a restful night. As coming from someone who has pretty vivid dreams this has helped. The first night I woke to them sitting nicely on the dresser. Im pretty sure at some point in the night I had taken them out, just out of habit. They also play my regular music so it's not just for sleeping. So I can see myself using them on a regular because they are just that comfortable and I have trouble with certain earbuds falling out. I haven't used the alarm mainly because I don't have trouble waking it the staying asleep peacefully that's an issue for me. The

      So glad you love the product! Thank you for your support. We promise to continue striving to exceed your expectations!

      To fix the fall out issue you mentioned, please try the following tips:

      - Make sure you wear the ear tips and ear wings correctly.
      - Choose the ear tips and ear wings that fit your ears the best, we recommend that you start with size M ear tips and ear wings.
      - When using them in bed, try a different soft pillow.
      - Use soft pillows. Pillows that are too hard may exert more pressure on your ears if you sleep on your side, which can affect the connection to your phone.
      - Do not use water pillows with metal or magnetic components.

    These Soundcore Sleep earbuds came with way more surprises than I was expecting, and they all have turned out to be huge positives. While opening the packaging I was very impressed to see just how many different ear tip and ear wing options these headphones came with. And the sizes are all pretty different so you really have a lot of options to find the fit that works best for you. The case for the headphones is very sleek but still protective, and I love that it charges with USBC. The headphones themselves, my gosh they are so extremely small and I love them. I have tried sleeping with so many different headphones and earbuds over the years and none of them worked for sleep. They always fell out so easily and were uncomfortable when laying on my side. With these I moved around so much trying to make them fall out or hurt my ear but they just wouldn’t. They are so small, ergonomic, and flush to your ear that nothing phases them. Honestly these ear buds seem too good to be true because not only are they extremely comfortable, but they also sound amazing. I am a bit of an audiophile and I rarely find headphones that I am fully happy with the sound on, but the fact that I am 100% happy and impressed with the sound quality, on top of their comfort for daily use and sleep use, it seriously seems too good to be true. I am also glad I downloaded the app too because it has a pretty extensive equaliser built into it, as well as tons of sounds to help sleep. I was able to make a customer noise combination of a thunderstorm and ocean waves and save it for regular use. Luckily I do not regularly sleep with someone who disturbs my sleep, but I can already tell these are going to be so useful on vacations and in hotel rooms where others snoring and breathing always keep me awake. It also looks like the app keeps track of your sleep information which I have found to be extremely useful. Overall I cannot recommend these Soundcore Sleep earbuds enough, hands down. I cannot find a single thing wrong with them and I have been nothing but happy with them so far.

    I’m on board with the sleep earbud concept! I think I’ve been living under a rock or these are a new twist on what earbuds can do and I just didn’t get the memo. I initially thought these were sleep tracking devices primarily made for noise isolation and feeding data to my iPhone for the Health app. These are to wear to bed, listen to my music or shows and they’ll shut them off when I konk out, and they’ve done a brilliant job. It took a couple of nights to get the right fit between the silicone eartip size and the “wings” on the backs of the buds to hold them in my ear without smashing or falling apart. Strangely enough (?) I learned my ears are not symmetrical and a large in the right and a medium in the left worked best and it’s like they’re not there. They aren’t hot or uncomfortable, they’re the most comfortable earbuds I’ve owned. Sound quality is good, with clear sound, no echo-ey cheapness, and they will get a little loud, but I don’t think they would do their job well if they got super loud and I hardly expect to be doing critical listening in my sleep. I’ve had zero trouble with the app or the Anker interface with the buds, which I stuck to the first two nights, they give you some nice “sleep music” or sound effects, I wound up sticking with rain sounds just because it was pleasant and quiet. I am not using the buds with the phone now though… I really am getting the best use with these though with my Apple TV. I like to watch documentaries at night before bed and these will pause the show and sound when I fall asleep. It works fairly quickly, though not instantly, so when I resume my show, it will have run past where I remember, but it’s just a little rewinding and I’m back on track. The shows do not run though 8 episodes while I'm asleep, so no more hunting around to figure out where I was. I love it. The buds pause worked with Apple Music on my phone and Mac’s Apple Music app, which was also cool, but when I’m watching YouTube and fall asleep, these do the same thing. I have no idea if my head is touching the controls and telling them to stop or if the sensor sees my movement stop ( I think so?), then it switches to the sleep mode rain I saved on the buds and keeps going with that, which takes away the sound output on your device, so it pauses (?). Deceptively simple and really cool. I know the “Adaptive Noise Masking” needs the use of my phone microphone, but that’s not a trade I’m willing to make, so no more mic access on my phone since my ears can’t tell the difference between noise masking and no noise masking and I don't have to feel creepy that I have my phone in my bedroom listening, ew. I was a little disappointed that I would be tied to my phone to use these, but once I did the initial setup with the app, I’ve found I don’t need to mess with it, so I’ve paired it to other devices and apps, and they work great. Would recommend :D

    I was very disappointed in these headphones. You are unable to change the alarm sound. The sleep sounds also stop halfway through the night even if you fun the feature off. Sound quality is not great. Really just disappointed in this product. I have since gotten the Bose Sleepbuds and wish i would have done that in the first place.

    The earbuds and case have a very sleek design. The sound quality and battery life is amazing. Best sounding earbuds I have had. Easily usable for every day wear. I use them just for sleeping & lasts all night. The Soundcore app is really cool! User friendly and lets you have a lot of customization which allows for a perfect night sleep. I was skeptical that they would fall out when I was sleeping because i toss and turn a lot throughout the night. The Sleep A10s have such a good fit (comes with 3-4 different 'fits' for best conforming to ear shape) and havent fallen out once! I think its because of the covering. Very comfortable when wearing. Earbuds are easy to charge - the sliding of the case is pretty 'fun' and the earbuds easily pop in and out. I prefer the sound quality of these to the airpods gen 2 I usually use for running/exercising. We typically have a brown/white noise going on in our room to help filter outside noise and now I dont have to have that going on when wearing these earbuds.

    Sleep Earbuds That Do Their Job.

    These earbuds come with a charging case and a USB-C cable. The case is real cool and it is a slide open case instead of the typical flip open cases. The setup is easy and straightforward. I like the equalizer and that the white noise can be adjusted. Getting the right fit is not a problem since multiple silicone tips and wings are provided. This is pretty standard now with any pair of earbuds that you purchase these days. It took me two full hours to charge the case with the earbuds in them. The battery life is pretty good since after using them, there were plenty of power left in the earbuds. The sound quality is good as long as you do not crank up the volume, but that is not what this product is for. There will be no sound quality issues if you are only listening to white noise, audio books or easy-listening music. I noticed that if I am playing music or listening to an audio book, the earbuds will shut off when it detects that I am asleep. If I am listening to white noise it does not stop, I think that is weird, but I will play with the setting to see if I can fix this. The final thing I want to mention is I like the alarm feature. It is perfect for when I need to sneak in a nap during the day. Nothing about this product blew me away, but they did do their job of help me sleep better which is a good thing.

    These come in a nice small case for storage and charging. There is a USB for charging the box but some of us can’t do this easily from our bedroom since that seems like the logical place to store the device, From what I can figure out, the main function is buds in your ears during sleep and to track sleep. I think they can be used for music but I couldn’t figure that out. I found the instructions in the box quite vague but the photos were helpful. I downloaded the app but then I had trouble getting it to sync but after a few tries it worked. The app walked me thru getting them set up. There are several options for find the correct fitting pads for covering the buds. There are some nice options for down loading relaxing nature sounds into the bud and then it doesn’t run on Bluetooth all night. The buds are fairly comfortable however some of us sleep on our sides so having the ear bud in all night is a challenge. For some people, listening to sounds as you attempt to sleep is very distracting. These might be OK if you live in a building that has lots of noise at night. I might use them while flying when attempting to sleep since the Nature Sounds would be better than a crying baby on a plane. There are also several options to choose from.

    Surprisingly comfortable and effective

    I’ve been using these buds for a week now and they have proven surprisingly effective at noise blocking while also being comfortable to wear throughout the night. I tend to sleep on my side, so I was concerned that they would be uncomfortable in my ear if resting on a pillow, but after they’re properly seated they’re quite unobtrusive. I’ve slept better with these in while still being aware of surroundings when really needed. I was also concerned that the passive noise blocking may not be as effective as active noise cancelling. In fact, these do a great job of isolating you from noise even without active cancelling. And for those wondering: yes, these do a pretty good job of masking snoring. Battery life has been superb. They always last all the way through the night, and I’ve found that the charging case only needs to be recharged about once per week. The companion app provides the ability to set up the buds, update firmware, and play various relaxing sounds such as rain, a stream, wind, etc. It will also log sleep patterns for your review, although I’m not totally sure how actionable the data is. In any event, I’ve found the app to be completely reliable on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. There is also the option to use these buds without any active participation by the app by downloading the sleep sound you wish to use directly to the earbuds. This thoughtful piece of engineering helps ensure that the sound can be played without the battery drain of an active Bluetooth stream or even a connection to the phone. I have also tried using these for listening to music and while I don’t think they’re going to win any awards on that front, they’re perfectly fine for listening to music before bedtime. I’d expect they’d be a good companion for aircraft travel too, although I haven’t had the opportunity to try that yet. Overall this is a product I didn’t think I needed but have really enjoyed and can easily recommend for anybody who sleeps in a less than silent environment. Pros: - Noise isolation works really well - Comfortable to wear all night, including when sleeping on your side - Outstanding battery life - Simple operation and reliable app - Great little charging case can keep you on the go all week - Works to mask snoring - Comes with a wide variety of interchangeable fixtures to ensure a great fit for most ears Cons: - Streaming music is OK but not amazing. - No active noise cancelling option.

    I was very hopeful for these to be awesome. I needed something that would fit into smaller ears and these do that quite well, but the app isn't great. The music, even on sleep mode doesn't last at all. It does block out room noise some but not 100% and that can be a bit problematic for my needs. I thought I could use another app for sound but that wasn't possible either. The app wasn't user friendly at all. I see others were able to use them with other apps but can't see where or how to make that happen. They would stay in all night with no soreness which was great, but I would wake up after three or four hours and not have any white noise running and I would have to fiddle to get it going again which would wake me up fully. The fit of these with the ability to use possibly a youtube meditation or other white noise all night long would be the best and exactly what I'm looking for. This was just off the mark. Unfortuately I can not recommend this item at this time. I really wanted to like them.

      Here are the tips for the issue you mentioned:
      - The way to use other third-party apps is the same as other Bluetooth earbuds.
      - Please know that these earbuds do not support active noise canceling. If the smart noise masking effect isn't up to scratch, try a different size of ear wings and ear tips. Also, try to make sure you're wearing them correctly.
      - For silent in sleep mode, please make sure the smart switch has been opened and turn off the smart volume control.
      - Upgrade the soundcore App and firmware to the newest version.

      If those don't help, please reach out to us via service@soundcore.com or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973. We are more than happy to assist you further.

    These have changed the way I sleep, for the better

    I’ve been a foam earplug user for most of this year. I’ve found that having in my ears to block out small sounds around me helps me sleep better. As a Tinnitus sufferer, the lack of background noise makes the ringing in my ears sound even louder. I’ve often wished I could listen to sleep music or something calm to fall asleep to, but most earbuds are uncomfortable to sleep with in my ears, or the battery isn’t really suited have ANC running all night. The Anker Soundcore Sleep A10 addresses the issue of blocking out noise up to -35db, but they can be programmed to play white noise, that is highly customizable, up to three layers and adjustable levels. So, if you like crickets chirping with the sound of a thunderstorm with ocean waves, then the app will let you use that. I’ve found the default ear wings fit and third set of ear tips work best for my ears. I can lay my head into a pillow, and I feel no pressure or pushback from the Anker A10s. You also have the option of streaming music, but the battery life may not last as long as their own white noise sounds because they are uploaded onto the earbuds and then looped occasionally, resulting in a good 10 hours of playback. I’ve found at the odd times off the night I might wake up to go to another room, that I can just leave these in and even continue playing. I haven’t used my foam earplugs since I had received these and consider them as good as for sound blocking and the bonus of a comfortable, nights sleep with the sounds of your choice. The carrying case if comes with has a USB Type C connector for charging and can easily slip into a pocket to take somewhere. The sound quality is pretty good as well. Most of Anker’s library is in stereo, so it can be immersive. I like and will continue to use them every night for a peaceful rest.
