Hearprotek Sleep Headphones 1 Pair USB C Wired Earbuds with Soft Silicone Noise Reduction Type C Earbuds with

First off, I never even realized that there were as many of these "sleep buds" as I'm now seeing. I was looking for Bluetooth headphones of the same ilk, and the closest I've come were a headband style. And in terms of comfort, those are okay-ish...but nowhere in the same league as the ones I'm reviewing right now. That said, my initial thought, when seeing that all of these sleep style buds are wired, was that of disappointment. But for the price, it makes total sense and isn't a surprise. To the actual review, short and to the point: 1. Comfort: Perhaps one of, if not THE most comfortable in ear buds wired OR wireless, ever. Seriously. Usually I loathe silicone tips, but these are a serious exception. The driver is in an incredibly short and narrow and soft silicone housing. Being short and narrow is the key to not killing your ears when on your side. The soft and very flexible silicone is what lends itself to not giving your ears fatigue for long listening stints. 2. Sound Quality: I was sort of expecting the type of sound Quality you'd get from the plastic tube headphones on airplanes back in the 80's. But what I hear is more akin to fairly decent Bluetooth headphones in the $40 range. They sound like a few pairs that I own for sure. So...very nice surprise. They won't win any awards for detail or soundstage, but in a pinch, they're quite good. I bought these for podcasts and ASMR though, and in that context, they're killer. They sound MUCH better than some Bluetooth buds in that regard. Also, the noise isolation is fantastic. But... It also relates to the one downside I can think of.... Cons: If I had to come up with one negative (which I've found a solution to), it would be cable microphonics. Because the noise isolation is so great, you can hear a lot of noise when the cables move. These are microphonics. There's an easy fix for that though... Just take the cable and loop it over your ear. Done. Almost zero noise now. The only thing that would make these better is if they had a cable tassel attached, so that you could keep the cables taught near your chin. Oh...The controls. They are perfect. Big enough buttons to feel each one and the whole thing is very light weight so as not to be uncomfortable or awkward. I'll probably get another pair or two (might try a different brand too) just in case. Last word:. I've fallen asleep wearing these a few times now, and cannot recommend these highly enough.

These little beauties were a Godsend! My husband snores. Sometimes it's quietly and other times it's freight train loud! Well, I can just pop these light weight earbuds in and hook it up to my phone or music player and listen to music or sleep stories until I fall asleep. It's so easy! They are super comfortable even when sleeping on my side. I love being able to get a good night's sleep right next to my sweet "freight train snoring" husband. Great quality at a great price!

I have sensory issues that affect my sleep so I needed something that I could put in my ears, sleep on my side, cancel noise, listen to something with my phone on airplane mode and still be comfortable. These fit the bill with one exception - the volume range is very narrow. The lowest volume setting is very loud (I do have sensory sensitivities but these actually seem loud) and one click lower turns the volume off complely. Besides that, these are awesome and I would highly recommend. I can sleep on my side all night with them in, and my ears don’t hurt in the morning. Not sure how long they will last but at this price point I really can’t complain. Read more

The best sleep ear buds on the market. I have tried many and none are as soft and comfortable in your ears. There is a tradeoff though in that they break down. My last pair made it 6 months which I feel is a fair deal for something I use every night. I basically can't sleep without them so I hope they don't stop making them. I have tried some of Hearprotek's other earbuds but none are as comfortable. I prefer the 3.5 mm version and use a USB C adapter for my phone. I find that the 3.5 mm version with an adapter drains my battery significantly less than the USB C version. It must be the chip that runs the USB C. I have had some pairs break down faster but I feel like the quality has improved. I like the passive noise cancelation which the tips provide, so even after my audiobook stops I still sleep with the noise blocking. The complete silence and an eye mask allow me to sleep through a lot. Read more
