Sleepbuds

I struggle to sleep without my Ozlo sleepbuds. They were originally designed and manufactured by Bose, which is when I discover them. They do an incredible job of blocking out all the noise that kept waking me up at night. Even my snoring partner and barking dog. Nothing but nice, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep. Full disclosure, they aren’t really buy it for life. Both my partner and I get somewhere between 3-4 years of nightly use before they start to have occasional issues connecting and the battery life is reduced enough that the sleepbuds may not last through the night and a backup alarm is needed. I’m still under a year with Ozlo, but knowing the brand story and relationship with a Bose, I would expect the same life expectancy.

raycon isn't really made for sleeping though, they're way too bulky. i use sleep earbuds on flights all time for work and regular earbuds just don't stay comfortable when you're trying to rest your head against window or anything. from the ones you listed, i'd probably go with ozlo since they're specifically designed for side sleeping. the noise masking works pretty well for airplane engines in my experience, though it's different than active cancellation. somnipods are decent too but battery life wasn't great when i tried them last year.

It’s loud snoring from the same bed, but I’m usually facing the opposite direction. It does muffle it, though. I listen to podcasts to go to sleep, but Ozlo does have built-in ambient noise. They would probably block out more noise, but I find them more distracting.

Ozlo sleepbuds, designed for sleep but can also be used to stream content of your choice or even social media. Super comfortable even for side sleepers, battery lasting through the whole night even after a year and a half of daily use. It saved my nights, my husband is a big guy with a deviated nose, he snores like a giant and when my Bose sleepbuds died for good, we had to sleep separately for months while I tried several other earbuds brands that fell short or hurt my ears after a couple hours. Bose scrapped all traces of their sleepbuds (because the technology kept falling apart) and the former team on the project decided to create Ozlo, I backed the crow funding. I enjoy that it even has an integrated alarm that will wake you up without giving you a heart attack or waking up others. The app is well made, fairly frequent update no ads, no frills, a lot of choice in white noise, sleep mode, not forced to use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi if you don't want that. The team seems to be passionate and they were always there to help me in the beginning when the budding app was a bit more capricious. Every day it works perfectly, night after night, I can sleep without being disturbed from outside noise.

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.

I like Ozlo, very comfortable. They were quite pricey but I have tried no other sleep buds really to compare them with to know if they’re worth it. The only issue is that case won’t hold a charge long at all.

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.
