This is interesting as this has not been my experience! I have the sleep A20 earbuds and the p40i and the battery on both of those have been very impressive.

I have the Soundcore [Sleep A30s](https://www.soundcore.com/products/d1301-sleep-a30-smart-anc-earbuds-for-sleeping) and the [Sleep A20s](https://www.soundcore.com/collections/true-wireless-earbuds). One of the things I like is that they both can sense when you are asleep and will shut off the audio (A20s, which I've had for over 2 years). But the A30s add to this by Pausing the audio and playing local (earbud only) audio (no bluetooth needed) or will keep the audio going even after you fall asleep. They are both comfortable for side sleeping and the batteries last over 9/10 hours, depending on the volume. The A30s have noise cancelling and can be used during the day. Happy to answer any questions.

I’ve tried all of them. Probably. The Anker sleep series (A20 and A30) are the best. Better than the Ozlo Sleepbuds, and less expensive. Some caveats though: The battery on the A20 may not last all night, depending on how long you’re in bed and how many hours you have them playing audio. The A30 adds ANC, but it’s not great. However, the battery life is improved over the A20. With ANC on, the battery may not last all night, but the ANC feature doesn’t do a lot anyway, so I disable the ANC and with it turned off, the battery will last all night. They’re also small enough and comfortable enough to sleep on your side. I don’t use them during the day. They’re probably fine for listening to stuff, although the max volume might be lower than other earbuds. I was hoping I could use them under my motorcycle helmet, but they’re not loud enough. At home in a relatively quiet environment they’re probably fine. They are probably not great for phone calls. My recommendation: Anker Sleep A30 with ANC disabled. Good passive noise blocking, good battery life with no ANC, comfortable, good quality, reasonable price.

YMMV but they fall out for me every night no matter what combination of attachments I use. Battery life degraded very fast after around 7 months (barely lasted an hour on full charger) of use although anker happily sent out another pair for free

I love the Anker a20 sleep earbuds, they have a bunch of different fitted attachments so they stay in without pressing on various ear sizes. I also have a Bluetooth sleep mask that's great, no need for brand name there but do get the kind that charges from a raised piece in the front, they're way better than the side charging ones.

I have the Soundcore a20 sleep earbuds. I was loving them until 2 weeks shy of the 1 year mark, the left sometimes charges to 30%. Now today only 2 days after the 1 year mark, the left sometimes doesn't charge at all, it is hit or miss. I contacted the company and I followed the troubleshooting instructions they gave me. Unfortunately, there was no resolution to this issue. I guess these will not last more than a year. That said, up until then, they were wonderful. I had insomnia until I purchased them and have never slept better! Unfortunately, I did not have the extended warranty. I never usually purchase an extended warranty. Well, with these I will from now on! I just purchased the new a30 and added the 2 yr warranty! I am a bit worried about the most recent reviews! Especially for $299! We will see. At least now I am fully covered for replacements if needed after a year! BOTTOM LINE: Due to my positive past experience with the a20 earbuds, I would recommend them. HOWEVER, I would not purchase them without the extended warranty!!!

I agree about the sleep or no sleep! I paid over $200 for the a20 Soundcore. They just lasted almost a year. I made the mistake of not getting the extended warranty! I now just purchased the a30 earbuds $299. But I was smarter this time around! I purchased the 2 yr warranty! That said, IF these don't last a year, I will get a replacement! And then another year. So, that is only $100 a year ;)
