Ozlo - Sleepbuds

For sleep, I use the Ozlo Sleepbuds. They are expensive but worth it. They are small so you can roll on your side and it’s fine. Otherwise I like the Bose noise cancelling earbuds. Also expensive, but are chunky - so if i roll over on my side while I sleep they wake me up and/or fall out.

Yes, I was on the KickStarter, and I've been using them a year. It's a really good product now, but I don't use the Bluetooth streaming so can't comment on that. I had used the Bose SleepBuds II before these; the ex-Bose guys behind this company bought that tech after Bose discontinued it and added things like Bluetooth streaming. I still just use the onboard sleep sounds, though. I just hope they hold up for a few years. One of the buds of my SleepBuds II lost half its volume, and so did the warranty replacement. I got maybe two years use out of both sets together.

They do look like they'd be very comfortable, and the biometric sensing is an interesting feature — I routinely fall asleep listening to things that just keep on playing, so I have to spend ages working out what I missed — as is the noise masking. But yikes, they're expensive! £269 — and [that's on offer](https://ozlosleep.co.uk/products/sleepbuds). And you say there are *still* bugs?

Ozlo sleep buds. They are intended for sleeping and won’t work for phone calls, but you can stream your chosen media normally. They also have white noise options built in. You can use a HSA or FSA to purchase these, as well.

I have had nothing but trouble with the ozlo software. I have to open the app to connect to them every night. I always put them in, then open the app, then get reminded that they have to be in the case to connect (for reasons, I guess). The range is comically bad. I put them in, start listening to something, go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and they start cutting out. Every other bluetooth device I have I can walk 5-8 times further away and still have a rock solid connection. Given the premium they charge, this stuff should "just work" and it doesn't. So I've got these pretty comfortable earbuds that I do find good to sleep in, but they are a very expensive specialty item because they really are only useful sitting on my bedside table for use as dedicated sleep buds. Pretty disappointed.

I use 3 pairs: Airpod Pro 1 - old set mostly used when around water (supping). Airpod Pro 2 - daily drivers, can't add anything over what others say, yes airpods are expensive, they are however also very good. Ozlo Sleepbuds - as the name says, just for around sleepy time. Also very expensive especially as they are single purpose but I can't recommend them enough. So... yeah this is the expensive lifestyle. But also how you can start listening to books getting out of bed until the moment you fall asleep.

I’ve got Ozlo Sleepbuds at the minute. I don’t know if you ever had the (now) discontinued Bose Sleepbuds or knew of them, but the developers of the Bose ones started Ozlo and so they’re based around the same design. There’s still bugs with them here and there but there’s teams working around it and launching new features. And they do the trick of playing different soundscapes whilst remaining comfy.

I carry multiples-- I have AirPods pro, a pair of Bose QC 25, and Ozlo sleep buds. The Bose has the BEST battery life. I can use it all day in the airport and on the plane on my travel days and not have to charge it until I get home. They also have the best noise canceling for the plane. The Ozlos are for sleeping (I'm a side sleeper and I used to sleep in the AirPods Pro, but they were irritating my ears and the battery usually died in the middle of the night.) The AirPods Pro are for everything else-- phone calls, masking annoying music/people at my destination/event, etc. I don't bring the case for the Bose. I have them attached to the top handle of my backpack with a Hero clip, or I wear them around my neck, or I put them in my jacket pocket. It's a little rough on them, but the case takes up too much space and it's too important to me to have them.

Don't buy them!! I have owned 4 sets of quieton. The only one that actually still works are the original black sleep ones with the button. The "new" design all have the same issue where one bud fails to charge. I bought the 4, I was so hopeful since they claim the QA is enhanced. 8 days in and it fails!! Over $400 Canadian with tax and it took 2 months from intial purchase till I finally got a refund, which IU had to use a paypal dispute to get. I also own the Ozlo and Soundcore A10s, A20s and soon the A30s. Ozlo are hands down the most comfortable but known to by buggy (I haven't experienced it), the Soundcore A20s are nice as far as features but don't provide as much noise isolation. I'm hopeful for the A30s with ANC. Just stay away from the QuietOn!! Huge waste off money, I promise they will fail, they always eventually do!!

I really like them. The ANC is a bit underwhelming, but it does work; just don’t expect Galaxy Buds Pro or AirPods level performance. Fit and placement make a big difference for ANC. They released another firmware update last night, the second since Kickstarter, which is great to see. I find the Ozlo slightly more comfortable than the A30s. The A30s are comfortable too, but considering the price, feature set, and Anker Soundcore support, I’d choose the A30s. I haven’t used the Ozlos since receiving the A30s. Nothing beats QuietOn for ANC and sleep, but they’re the most expensive and they will fail. I haven’t had any issues with the Ozlo yet, and I’ve never had an issue with Soundcore. I own all the A series Sleep models and several of their speakers, and I’m definitely a fan

Agreed — I got fast responses when I contacted them about issues. I’ve noticed that they now seem to reconnect after I go out of range and come back. When they first came out, I had to put them back in the case to reboot them.

Unfortunately the A20 is too painful for me. Then I got the Ozlo and they are better but I like the features of the A20 better. Neither matches my Bose. They were the best.

I got some of the Ozlo Sleepbuds on Kickstarter and LOVEEEE them. They are small enough to not bother me, they can stay on all night, and they block out a ton of ambient noise even if they are off.

I'd reach out to them about some of those issues. I haven't gone super far, but I can definitely go bed to toilet with them in without issues. That is about 20 feet or so. For the opening thing, they just updated the app to recommend opening the lid and waiting until the lights are solid before putting the buds in. I've had better success waiting the few seconds to get my sleep sounds going.

Ozlo sleepbuds are the best around imo.
