Product Information

Instead, the Sleepbuds are perhaps better aimed at those that have never really had any issues in drifting off in the past but have perhaps more recently started experiencing disruption to what would normally contribute to a good night's sleep, such as a new noisier apartment, or perhaps as a travel companion when sleeping away in unfamiliar places or to take on the plane.

Taking advantage of the company’s experience in noise-cancelling technology, the Sleepbuds aren’t made for listening to your Spotify playlist under the covers; they’ve been specifically designed for bedtime, all with the goal of helping you sleep better. The 10 sounds are divided into those made for noise masking and those for relaxation. For example, for the former there’s an airplane engine noise listed as 'Altitude', and the latter a recording of crashing waves named 'Swell'. Earplugs may use a variety of materials, including foam, silicone, wax, and latex. Foam is usually the most common and affordable option. Silicone models generally rest at the entrance of the ear and do not penetrate the ear canal much, if at all. Many people consider wax earplugs among the most effective, but they usually carry a higher price despite the fact that they are intended for single use. The QuietOn 3 sleep earplugs look similar to a pair of true wireless earbuds, but are much smaller and lighter due to the absence of the typical speaker components and Bluetooth transmitter. Each one weighs just 1.8g, and is made from hard white plastic, with four pairs of soft polyurethane foam tips in different sizes. Yes, they definitely aid in that process by helping to relax you with the comforting sounds that cover up any annoying distractions outside, but they are by no means a magical cure in stopping sleep deprivation, for example. Especially if this is something you’ve been suffering from for a long time.For example, the battery level indicator for each Sleepbud is displayed nice and clearly in the Battery tab. You'll also find product information and a guide to fitting your buds correctly to ensure they fit correctly in your ears. Solid amber (5 seconds) – Case has low charge, less than one full earbud charge remaining (10% to 33%) We found putting them up too much wouldn’t be conducive to a good night’s rest, but thankfully Bose has indicated a suggested ideal volume for you in the app in case you’re not sure where to start. We found that the earplugs lasted around four nights between charges, returning them to the case each morning. This tallies with the company's estimated 48-hour battery life.

Some earplugs may also contain latex. For most individuals, this shouldn’t be a problem, but those with latex allergies should look at product descriptions carefully to ensure they select a latex-free model. While earplugs are an affordable and effective way to reduce nighttime noise, there are several other options, including headphones, sound apps, white noise machines, fans, and room modifications. In our opinion, the masking sounds cover external noises very well, to the point where you can’t hear them at all. Although the environment in which we tested them isn’t known for being exceptionally loud. But saying that, they did ensure the early morning garbage collectors went unheard, which never usually fail to cause a stir. To get you off to sleep, the Sleep app offers a variety of what Bose calls 'soothing sounds', including nature sounds and other familiar audio that's related to relaxation.And while some might say that you can’t really put a price on a good night’s sleep, they should be aware that the Sleepbuds can’t guarantee they’ll send you off into a blissful slumber night after night.
