I love mine!! So soft and easy to wear no more earbuds hurting in the middle of the night or falling out!! Great sound also... The instructions say to take the speakers and panel out it actually says pop the panel out. Nope it’s sewn it. You have to work it out of the slit inside next to the panel to wash the whole band.
Yes, getting the panel and speakers out is a little bit fiddly. I've had the same issue with all of these headband style of headphones. It requires a degree of patience when you want to remove the components so you can wash the headband.
When I go to sleep with my airpods on, I usually have to look for them in the morning. They always seem to drop behind my bed, so I have to drag my bed to find them. I glad I just got these, so, hopefully, I will be able to listen to rain noises and go to sleep comfortably.
It took me a while to understand your comment Ryan! But I got it in the end...a bit slow today. Yes, these should avoid that problem, though bring up another problem of rolling your head over the speaker. Hopefully not as brutal as an alligator death roll though.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Lots of people enjoying the sound of your voice, maybe you can put it to use as a hypnotist, a second calling discovered by your viewers.
Maybe sleep stories, but I'd be worried I'd be responsible for putting people under and them missing work because the audio didn't run for long enough to wake them up haha.
just ordered mine tonight! after watching your review, I'm all the more excited to receive them! Definitely going to be better than over ear headphones haha. Thx for the solid review mate!
Looks perfect for my needs! My only concern is the same concern I have for any headphones that rely on cables. I noticed at 9:13 you have one of the speakers out and it is connected by a thin cable. As any wired headphone user knows, in time the cables start to wear&tear and eventually one (or both) speakers stop working. Despite the fabric protecting the speaker I fear that eventually those thin cables will eventually get worn out.
Indeed, these type of cheap headbands are less robust because of the thin wires. It will all come down to how much you turn in the night and put stress on them with the positions you end up in, and the quality of the particular model you have. For the low price, it's a risk I think.
I ordered a pair the second I saw them. I figured that it's a simple enough concept. (block out light and noise, play wireless audio) I didn't watch your review until after I bought them but I'm very relieved to see that they live up to their intended purpose. Counting down the days until they get here but I'll let y'all know as soon as I've had a few nights with 'em.
Hi, just keep in mind that they were not specifically intended to block out light. I wouldn't find them comfortable to use as a sleep mask. And there is no active noise cancellation. Still, I hope you like them - let me know!
Nice review. Would you say the sound quality is good enough for listening to ASMR videos in bed? My main reason I'm looking to buying sleeping headphones is because I hate how my normal earphones dig into my ear (side sleeper)
Thanks! I guess it depends what kind of quality you're used to. The speakers are pretty good for this price range, and since they don't have quite as much padding around them as some other fabric headphones, the volume tends to be better than some others. So if you're listening to particularly soft sounding ASMR, then you should hear it at least.
I’ve been using it for more than a month now and it’s great! I have a noisy neighbors above me and now I don’t even think about them. It’s comfortable and I pull it a little bit down to cover my eyes. Note: you will need a white noise app or you can play any sound you like.
@@tareq5853 Glad it worked for you! I also have noisy neighbors, esp. on Fridays and weekends. I've been looking for something to block out the noise, but since there is no active noise cancellation in these headphones, I'm a bit on the fence. Does the white noise sound really help out?
I might buy a pair of these. These headphones caught my eye because sometimes I sleep with normal earbuds in my ear and after a couple of days my inner ear starts to get inflamed from the earbuds being lodged in my ear for hours every night while being pressed up against a pillow. Basically, normal earbuds tend to cause me some pain due to the inflammation and it’s already happened multiple times. Hope these will solve my problem!!
Great video! As a factory worker that gets up really early in the morning I need good sleep. Good review on this product. Have you considered reviewing the kokoon headphones? They are expensive but I have read lots of good things about it. I'm considering buying them
Thanks Victor! They are on my radar as I hope to do a big headphones comparison video later this year. It's expensive buying lots of the best ones though, so I will make the final call about which to include later on. But at the moment, I am considering the Kokoon for inclusion. If you do buy them, please let me know what you think of them!
Thanks, great review! My problem is the amount to which these sleep headphones leak, I’ve bought a couple of pairs but found I couldn’t continue to use them because they kept my partner awake.
Thanks, and you're welcome! Unfortunately, that's a bit of an issue with all fabric headphones of this style. I guess the hope is people are expected to listen to music quietly in bed. But that's not always the case, as you've found out.
These style of headphones work surprisingly well , I expected to not be able to sleep with them on but I did. I think though if I found some with true noise cancelling they'd be perfect as I have a couple of noise cancelling headphones but they're no good for sleeping with but even with no music playing the noise coming from the neibours is way quieter. Have to use white noise at the moment which works to a degree but in combo (but lower volume) with noise cancelli ng even if they were twice or more the price would be worth it.
They do work well if you need to lie on your side. Sadly, none of the big companies have made flat noise cancelling headphones, or tiny ones, that you can use on your side all night. I'll be publishing a video comparing headphones for sleep later this year, so keep an eye out for that!
I’ve been having crazy loud tinnitus lately, my hearing has gotten worse. I’ll probably have to buy one of these since it’s almost impossible to sleep at night
Can people sleeping near you hear them well? My wife always gripes when I have headphones in says she can hear them she somehow has superhearing before bed but never listens to anything anyone tells her I'm her waking hours. I really loved your review as well it was pretty refreshing most people skim over things you did a great job!
First of all, thanks for the compliment - much appreciated! These headphones do leak noise, so you'd want to keep them on a lower volume if your wife's super power of amazing hearing switches on at night.
Got one for my husband! I don't like how he keeps his phone plugged in with headphones on, or just having headphones on that keep him from being able to turn over. Really excited for it to arrive, I hope he likes it!
So, I loved mine! But whenever it is low on charge it shouts at me”low battery!” And wakes me up! Huuuuuuge product flaw. And now it won’t hold a charge for more than an hour :(
Yes, that's why it's always good to charge these type of headphones every day - though it sounds like you won't be doing that. I hope you can still return it. So many devices make totally unnecessary noises. Loud beeps when you reach the lowest volume is the one I never understood!
enjoying. hahah. I bought one called musicozy, looks the same but maybe it has some more fabric and a bit softer. Bought on amazon. Generally pretty good, but easy to notice the feeling of a band across your head. Have to get used to it. I bought them to play white noise to mask a broken water pump in the room next door which doesn't stop through the night.
Hi Paul. I believe there are several copies sold online, some exact but with different branding, some slightly different in design. Someone, somewhere, is churning them out and marketing them to different Amazon third party sellers to then market to the public. I even found a video on TH-cam someone had done to market the same product with a different brand name, using large sections of my video in their marketing material and my photo on their website homepage. Needless to say, I got it removed for copyright infringement. I've also had several people emailing me to ask if they can use parts of my video for their 'new product'. So in my view, they are basically all the same. My best guess is that someone has a pyramid scheme style business plan in full swing. Buyer beware in this case, sadly.
Fair warning: I'm 6'4 so my head is a bit bigger than most people's so the speakers are forward to my ears. If you plan on buying this just know that they might not be a perfect fit so you'll have to kind of wear it a bit to the left while having moved the right speaker a bit further out of its standard "pouch".
Thanks for the input. I think you're absolutely right about needing to adjust the position of the speakers. Some people will get lucky and the starting placement is perfect, but others like you will need to work with them to get the right fit.
Thanks for this video, would you say that listening to white noise works well with this sleep headphone? And can the volume be set high enough to block out loud noises such as that of crying and screaming toddlers?
You're welcome. I think that white noise played through any headphones can be helpful. It's hard to say if it will block out all noise, and depends on the volume and proximity of the crying and screaming.
I just ordered them . Want only for sleeping . Had Bose sleepingbuds but they stopped working and sleepphones are very expensive . Let’s see how they go.
No Sleepless Nights I cancelled my order and bought extremely expensive sleepphones. Thought I needed a proper sleeping phones . I am suffering due to not getting sleep . Small sounds just wakes me up .
Good review gonna try em wife got me a new phone and it has no jack so I gotta ditch my skull candies for wireless ... I’ve used them for about 3 years now no problem . Rip
No Sleepless Nights so I tried them last night . I sleep with asmr..... didn’t work at all ..... I miss my ear buds . So much so I had to use another phone just to sleep . I need wireless buds . Oh well ....
I wear hearing aids and currently wear ear buds to listen to audiobooks in bed. I need good quality sound because f my hearing issues. Do you recommend these, or know of another brand that might be better for me?
To be honest, I'm not sure whether earbuds or these would be better if you wear hearings aids. I just don't know enough about the way hearing aids interact with different methods of playing audio, so I wouldn't to give you a recommendation without being knowledgeable enough about your specific situation. Sorry!
This is a good question, and one I'm not qualified to answer to be completely honest. It wouldn't be right for me to state a level of radiation risk because I don't have a way to measure it, and I'm not a scientist who is trained and able to determine such things. My personal understanding from looking online is that the risks associated with Bluetooth devices is an area of ongoing debate and research. So I think you'll find better answers to your question from checking what researchers and sources such as the World Health Organisation have to say about it.
Im sick of having wet ear canals from wearing earbuds while in bed at night. They are also prone to infections. Im searching for something over the ear that is cool and comfortable. The mesh seems cooler.
That's one of the main points in favour of this style of headphones - nothing inside the ear canal. The mesh is relatively cool when compared to some of the thicker fabric headbands I've tried.
Hey! What are your thoughts on this if you are a side sleeper? Sadly I can't afford the super expensive one's with the padding and everything, but I need something to help me to listen to podcasts as I sleep and not necessarily disturb my dormmates.
I think if you have a soft pillow, and your ears aren't too sensitive, you should be fine for a while. But if you have a harder pillow, sensitive ears and lie on one side for hours on end, then I can imagine it being a bit of an issue. You could always make some extra padding though if you're up for some DIY, which is something that crossed my mind the other day.
Oh thank you. I have got 10$ version without box, instruction, etc. It wasn’t working! But now I could read in manual in your hands, that it should be charged befor paring) Ok, we will see)
By any chance do the headphones have a noise cancelling feature? And if not do you know of a similar product that just focuses on cancelling background noise for those of us that don't listen to audio as we sleep. Thanks!
No they don't Lucy - sadly. I don't know any fabric headband style headphones that have active noise cancellation. For that, you'd need to stick with normal headphones. If you discover any that do seem to have noise cancellation, please let me know and I'll buy and review them, as it's something I'd love to see.
I would love to try these but am worried that over exposure to Bluetooth radiation over a nights sleep maybe an issue? Apparently many doctors and scientists are unsure of the long term risks of brain tumours ect.
I can't comment on that as I'm not a doctor or a scientist. I would say go with your gut feeling and/or your own reading about the topic. Personally, if I was worried something I was using in bed might make me ill, that would probably stress me out, which would affect my sleep. So on that point, if you're unsure about them, don't use them.
I recently purchased these headphones and they're good for comfort and sleep. I love them. Does anyone know how to stop that loud beeping noise everytime I turn up the volume all the way?
I don't think there is a way, no. It's a feature in several of the low-cost headband headphones I've tried, and I'm yet to find a way to turn the beeping off in any of them unfortunately.
I’m very curious about headphones for sleep- new subscriber! My bf snores crazily and my headphones end up in the bed. I’m looking for the best alternative 😩
It depends on the headphones. Compared to decent Sony, Bose, Sennheiser etc, no. They are no match. But compared to cheaper headphones, they are reasonably good. I wouldn't get these if you're used to $300 headphones and hope to have similar sound quality.
I want to get one for my bf because he listens to sleep videos e.ve.ry.night!! so im thinking about getting those but most reviews are so...negative :(
There's probably a good reason for that, unfortunately. As much as I try to be balanced when doing reviews, these headphones have some obvious quality problems.
What i do now instead of buying these kind of bands is to just put my phone under the pillow and it helps. My partner doesn’t hear the podcast/music and I can hear it and fall asleep with np.
These are good! But is there a way to turn whatever your playing off after 1 hour? I dont want my radio/music to play all night long while sleeping, id like it to turn off after around 1hr when ive fallen asleep, i use ipad. Or is there somthing else i can use that turns itself off after 1hr? Any other devices with a sleep timer? a radio with dab or a speaker? Or radios? that you recommend please instead of my ipad? Thankyou for the great review
They don't have a timer option. The only headband style headphones I know of that have an inbuilt sleep timer is the AcousticSheep SleepPhones Simple. It has six timer options. Here's a link: bit.ly/3jy6aWG
Hi Omar. You can remove the components to wash the headband. But personally, considering how cheaply they seem to be made, I wouldn't trust that they can handle rain. As for heavy sweating, that's a good question. Again, I personally wouldn't trust them to get soaked through on a regular basis and survive.
K. I got one. Here is the problem with them. They are HOT! And the earphones don’t line up with where my ears are and are not adjustable (so I can only hear out of one earphone at a time).
That's a common issue with all of these type of headbands. Though the material of these is much thinner than some others, so they can get hotter. They are slightly adjustable, but you can't easily keep the speakers in place once you adjust them. So yes, as you move in the night, they can work their way into a different position when you move. Again, it's a common problem.
That would work a little, but in my opinion any product that would make you want to color it in with a sharpie is fundamentally flawed (unless it's a coloring book).
@@nosleeplessnights1 Oh I'm sorry it auto corrected it to change when I meant to say charge since mine died and I can't figure out how to charge it! My apologies
No problem. At 2:24 in the video you can see how I pull out the cable from the headband and plug it into the USB cable, which you then use to charge it.
Only if you lie on the speaker directly on your side for a long time, in which case the pressure might be uncomfortable. But I don't think they have anything specific about them I would say is bad for your ears - at least not that I am aware of.
It depends how loud you turn the volume up, what kind of white noise it is, what kind out outside sounds and how loud they are. So the answer can only be 'maybe'.
The genre of music doesn't affect how they work. But they do affect how much you might enjoy different genres I guess. If you want to listen to loud music with heavy, intense bass, headphones like this might disappoint if you're used to listening on high-end headphones.
Hi, I am actually working on a video review of the Sleepphones, which I'l be publishing within a week hopefully. I personally prefer the Sleepphones for comfort, sound quality and overall aesthetic design. The Lavince are much cheaper and actually louder too. But as a side sleeper, the Sleepphones definitely win for me as the speakers are encased in a separate padded section, which is then put inside the headband. And where image is concerned, they are much better looking. Although despite my criticism of the buttons on the Lavince, it does make it easier to find the buttons on the headband than the Sleepphones.
I have tried them all and sleep phones are the best. the wire on the wired version is my only issue as it wears out in about a year. the bluetooth version does not have that issue. remember to wash them regularly as they will cause zits.
the sound quality is it better than airpods or airpods pro or it's worse because I use human headphone and is so much better than all headphones I have used with the sound quality but just seeing the band is so much comfortable and it's only for 9$ in my country and wanna know the quality of the sound thx
Hi Mark, the sound quality is not as good as airpods (in my opinion). It's pretty good if your goal is just to have a comfortable way to listen to some music or radio while you fall asleep. But if your goal is to lie in bed listening to music with the best possible sound quality, then stick with your airpods and take them off before you fall asleep.
They have no active noise-cancellation. So the only help they provide is the small amount of padding over your ears, which can help muffle some sound. And then the type of music/audio you listen to and the volume. But compared to high-end noise-cancelling headphones, they aren't nearly as good. But then again, a loud barking dog will still break through most headphones!
Not in my experience. But the speakers do make announcements for some things. If they disconnect from Bluetooth, then they do announce 'disconnected'. And if you turn them off, they announce that too.
Does anyone have a link to a video showing someone removing and reinstalling the components? I live in Pohnpei, Micronesia just north of the equator with no air con in my room, making sweat in the head band quite an issue. They became pretty foul smelling pretty quickly. The pockets looked to me as if they were sewn almost entirely shut. I'd just like re-assurance that I won't be destroying these by taking out the components and that I will be able to get them back in. Otherwise, I LOVE these headphones which I've had for about 4 months now. I just had to stop using them because they REALLY need to be cleaned! ;)
Oh, I see a short little blip on this close to the end of the video. Sorry, I was watching while commenting. That was specifically what I was looking for. I agree regarding the function of the buttons. I would have preferred a reverse function of the buttons, meaning, I would have preferred that changing tracks would have required the longer push of the button but that small volume changes could be made with short pushes of the button. Of course, one could set the volume on the head set at max and make volume changes on your phone phone but when sleeping, I don't want to have to reach for my phone to make volume changes without accidentally changing the track (something that's important if you're using the online brain.fm sleep program. Sometimes accidentally changing the track on that application when you meant to decrease the volume means that a track with an entirely different goal from the program for an 8 hour sleep I have set it for. Probably doesn't make any sense to people who haven't used that program. Sorry about that.
Hi, I'm happy you found the clip you were looking for! It's a bit fiddly to remove and replace the components, but it can be done. It's interesting what you say about the buttons. I'm glad it's not just me that thought it would be better the other way around!
No they don't have any noise cancelling tech. Having the speakers and a little material over your ear might help a bit, but it's in no way comparable to proper noise cancelling headphones - apples and pears!

I would definitely wear this in my gym, they look cool and why would I care what others think. If I saw someone wearing these I wouldn’t critique
Fair enough! I know not everyone has the same way of thinking as I do. So if you're happy with them, that's all that matters.
This is for sleep not for the gym
So, I loved mine! But whenever it is low on charge it shouts at me”low battery!” And wakes me up! Huuuuuuge product flaw. And now it won’t hold a charge for more than an hour :(
Yes, that's why it's always good to charge these type of headphones every day - though it sounds like you won't be doing that. I hope you can still return it.
So many devices make totally unnecessary noises. Loud beeps when you reach the lowest volume is the one I never understood!
It also yells at you when they lose Bluetooth connection or power down. I’ve been startled awake by this twice so far. Very unpleasant.
Im mostly interested if they block sound for sleeping, don't care about headphones.
On their own they won't block much sound out. You really need to play music through them relatively loudly to block out noisy neighbours for example.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Yeah figured as much, looking at earbuds made of sillicone, those might do a better job.
Potentially yes. Especially if you're not a side sleeper so you don't need to worry about them bothering your ear.
@@nosleeplessnights1 is it any good for side sleepers
Thank you for the review! :) :)
My pleasure!
In UK I can get it for £ 17.00 definitely I will try 😁
Thank you for the review
Also I will try in the gym as well.
You're welcome Stefan. Let me know if you liked it for the gym!
@@nosleeplessnights1 definitely .
Just bought this thing for £15 now
Great reviews. Keep making them.
Thanks! That's the plan - I'm just a bit slow...
enjoying. hahah. I bought one called musicozy, looks the same but maybe it has some more fabric and a bit softer. Bought on amazon. Generally pretty good, but easy to notice the feeling of a band across your head. Have to get used to it. I bought them to play white noise to mask a broken water pump in the room next door which doesn't stop through the night.
Hi Paul. I believe there are several copies sold online, some exact but with different branding, some slightly different in design. Someone, somewhere, is churning them out and marketing them to different Amazon third party sellers to then market to the public. I even found a video on TH-cam someone had done to market the same product with a different brand name, using large sections of my video in their marketing material and my photo on their website homepage.
Needless to say, I got it removed for copyright infringement. I've also had several people emailing me to ask if they can use parts of my video for their 'new product'.
So in my view, they are basically all the same. My best guess is that someone has a pyramid scheme style business plan in full swing.
Buyer beware in this case, sadly.
Fair warning:
I'm 6'4 so my head is a bit bigger than most people's so the speakers are forward to my ears.
If you plan on buying this just know that they might not be a perfect fit so you'll have to kind of wear it a bit to the left while having moved the right speaker a bit further out of its standard "pouch".
Thanks for the input. I think you're absolutely right about needing to adjust the position of the speakers. Some people will get lucky and the starting placement is perfect, but others like you will need to work with them to get the right fit.
I just hope that they don’t make noise that can be heard around you(don’t want people hearing my asmr😓
It depends what volume and what kind of asmr I guess. If it's whispering, then it should be fine!
@@nosleeplessnights1
Thanks for clarifying 👍
Excellent video. Thanks :)
You are welcome!
Thanks for this video, would you say that listening to white noise works well with this sleep headphone? And can the volume be set high enough to block out loud noises such as that of crying and screaming toddlers?
You're welcome. I think that white noise played through any headphones can be helpful. It's hard to say if it will block out all noise, and depends on the volume and proximity of the crying and screaming.
Cheers. Great review
Thanks Karl, glad you liked it!
how long does the battery last..all night?... great review by the way!
Yes, you can easily get a whole night out of them. But probably not two nights, depending on how long a night is for you.
I just ordered them . Want only for sleeping . Had Bose sleepingbuds but they stopped working and sleepphones are very expensive . Let’s see how they go.
If you have time to pop back and share your thoughts, I'd love to hear what you think of them! Thanks
No Sleepless Nights I cancelled my order and bought extremely expensive sleepphones. Thought I needed a proper sleeping phones . I am suffering due to not getting sleep . Small sounds just wakes me up .
Fair enough! Which ones did you buy exactly? I'm still interested to know if they help you at night, whichever ones they are.
No Sleepless Nights I bought the SLEEPPHONES effortless . Breeze midnight black .
Hk Do you sleep better at night with them? I also suffer with waking up by small sounds and I haven’t gotten a good nights sleep in a while
Good review gonna try em wife got me a new phone and it has no jack so I gotta ditch my skull candies for wireless ... I’ve used them for about 3 years now no problem . Rip
Thanks, glad you liked it! Don't expect these to match the quality of your skull candies, but hopefully they will be good enough to use in bed.
No Sleepless Nights so I tried them last night . I sleep with asmr..... didn’t work at all ..... I miss my ear buds . So much so I had to use another phone just to sleep . I need wireless buds . Oh well ....
I wear hearing aids and currently wear ear buds to listen to audiobooks in bed. I need good quality sound because f my hearing issues. Do you recommend these, or know of another brand that might be better for me?
To be honest, I'm not sure whether earbuds or these would be better if you wear hearings aids. I just don't know enough about the way hearing aids interact with different methods of playing audio, so I wouldn't to give you a recommendation without being knowledgeable enough about your specific situation. Sorry!
Hello, I'm asking this because sleep bands utilize Bluetooth technology. Can you tell me if the radiation risk is at very high levels or negligible?
This is a good question, and one I'm not qualified to answer to be completely honest. It wouldn't be right for me to state a level of radiation risk because I don't have a way to measure it, and I'm not a scientist who is trained and able to determine such things. My personal understanding from looking online is that the risks associated with Bluetooth devices is an area of ongoing debate and research. So I think you'll find better answers to your question from checking what researchers and sources such as the World Health Organisation have to say about it.
Hello again, thank you for replying to my comment. Good afternoon.
You're very welcome!
It left a dent in the back of my head lol
I can imagine. The block is quite large, so if you have a hard pillow you might feel it a bit. Hopefully the dent ironed itself out;-)
Im sick of having wet ear canals from wearing earbuds while in bed at night.
They are also prone to infections. Im searching for something over the ear that is cool and comfortable.
The mesh seems cooler.
That's one of the main points in favour of this style of headphones - nothing inside the ear canal. The mesh is relatively cool when compared to some of the thicker fabric headbands I've tried.
Hey! What are your thoughts on this if you are a side sleeper? Sadly I can't afford the super expensive one's with the padding and everything, but I need something to help me to listen to podcasts as I sleep and not necessarily disturb my dormmates.
I think if you have a soft pillow, and your ears aren't too sensitive, you should be fine for a while. But if you have a harder pillow, sensitive ears and lie on one side for hours on end, then I can imagine it being a bit of an issue. You could always make some extra padding though if you're up for some DIY, which is something that crossed my mind the other day.
Oh thank you. I have got 10$ version without box, instruction, etc. It wasn’t working! But now I could read in manual in your hands, that it should be charged befor paring) Ok, we will see)
Hi, it's good to know it was helpful to show the manual! I hope it works for you now:-)
No Sleepless Nights yes, it’s working, thank you again)
That's great, and you're welcome!
Can you listen to TH-cam with the Sleepband?
You can listen to whatever is playing on your phone that you have connected. So yes.
By any chance do the headphones have a noise cancelling feature? And if not do you know of a similar product that just focuses on cancelling background noise for those of us that don't listen to audio as we sleep. Thanks!
No they don't Lucy - sadly. I don't know any fabric headband style headphones that have active noise cancellation. For that, you'd need to stick with normal headphones. If you discover any that do seem to have noise cancellation, please let me know and I'll buy and review them, as it's something I'd love to see.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Alright great! Thanks for your response😊
You're welcome
I would love to try these but am worried that over exposure to Bluetooth radiation over a nights sleep maybe an issue? Apparently many doctors and scientists are unsure of the long term risks of brain tumours ect.
I can't comment on that as I'm not a doctor or a scientist. I would say go with your gut feeling and/or your own reading about the topic. Personally, if I was worried something I was using in bed might make me ill, that would probably stress me out, which would affect my sleep. So on that point, if you're unsure about them, don't use them.
I recently purchased these headphones and they're good for comfort and sleep. I love them. Does anyone know how to stop that loud beeping noise everytime I turn up the volume all the way?
I don't think there is a way, no. It's a feature in several of the low-cost headband headphones I've tried, and I'm yet to find a way to turn the beeping off in any of them unfortunately.
I’m very curious about headphones for sleep- new subscriber!
My bf snores crazily and my headphones end up in the bed.
I’m looking for the best alternative 😩
Thanks for subscribing! I hope the channel helps you find a good solution to the snoring:-)
9:23 "don´t want to run around looking like an Android" lol
I still stand by this comment...
Thanks for video , i wanted to ask , will these still block noise while music is not playing ?
No more than wearing a normal headband would.
@@nosleeplessnights1 Alright Thanks
No problem!
Use a black permanent Sharpie to color over “enjoying”
That might work, but I think it would still look weird!
Is the quality any good compared to normal headphones/earphones in terms of sound
It depends on the headphones. Compared to decent Sony, Bose, Sennheiser etc, no. They are no match. But compared to cheaper headphones, they are reasonably good.
I wouldn't get these if you're used to $300 headphones and hope to have similar sound quality.
thank you very much sir!
You're welcome Leo
I want to get one for my bf because he listens to sleep videos e.ve.ry.night!! so im thinking about getting those
but most reviews are so...negative :(
There's probably a good reason for that, unfortunately. As much as I try to be balanced when doing reviews, these headphones have some obvious quality problems.
Can't even get 4 hours out of mine with a full charge which isn't even close to their claim of up to 12 hours.
That's not good. Can you get a replacement or refund? I would try if you can as 4 hours is rubbish...
Thanks for the review. I have a question. If during at night the music stops playing, does the headphones turn off by itself?
Yes they will eventually. I'm not sure exactly how long it takes though - I'd have to dig them out and time it!
@@nosleeplessnights1 Thanks. I'll wait for the feedback
What i do now instead of buying these kind of bands is to just put my phone under the pillow and it helps. My partner doesn’t hear the podcast/music and I can hear it and fall asleep with np.
That does work. If you'd rather not have your phone right under your head at night, you could try a little pillow speaker instead.
These are good! But is there a way to turn whatever your playing off after 1 hour? I dont want my radio/music to play all night long while sleeping, id like it to turn off after around 1hr when ive fallen asleep, i use ipad. Or is there somthing else i can use that turns itself off after 1hr? Any other devices with a sleep timer? a radio with dab or a speaker? Or radios? that you recommend please instead of my ipad? Thankyou for the great review
They don't have a timer option. The only headband style headphones I know of that have an inbuilt sleep timer is the AcousticSheep SleepPhones Simple. It has six timer options. Here's a link: bit.ly/3jy6aWG
@@nosleeplessnights1 ok thankyou, will take a look
Is it waterproof? I intend to go jogging with these and eventually washing them due to excessive sweating.
Hi Omar. You can remove the components to wash the headband. But personally, considering how cheaply they seem to be made, I wouldn't trust that they can handle rain. As for heavy sweating, that's a good question. Again, I personally wouldn't trust them to get soaked through on a regular basis and survive.
K. I got one. Here is the problem with them. They are HOT! And the earphones don’t line up with where my ears are and are not adjustable (so I can only hear out of one earphone at a time).
That's a common issue with all of these type of headbands. Though the material of these is much thinner than some others, so they can get hotter. They are slightly adjustable, but you can't easily keep the speakers in place once you adjust them. So yes, as you move in the night, they can work their way into a different position when you move. Again, it's a common problem.
Would you use this to fall asleep to white or brown noise?
Whichever sound you enjoy listening to. There is no right or wrong.
Use a black sharpie to black out the front.
That would work a little, but in my opinion any product that would make you want to color it in with a sharpie is fundamentally flawed (unless it's a coloring book).
Thank You. 🙂
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful shirt!
That's nice as it's my favorite;-)
Is there a timer on it? So when you fall asleep and music playlist is finished it turns off? Thanks
No, there is no inbuilt timer.
Could you perhaps do a video on how to change it? I just bought one for myself and I can't seem to figure how! 🤔
Do you mean how to exchange it because you don't like it?
@@nosleeplessnights1 Oh I'm sorry it auto corrected it to change when I meant to say charge since mine died and I can't figure out how to charge it! My apologies
No problem. At 2:24 in the video you can see how I pull out the cable from the headband and plug it into the USB cable, which you then use to charge it.
omg when you said the beeping is almost as annoying as the word enjoying i just started laughing i have to agree that is really stupid
Just calling it how it is:-)
How is the bass, low frequences?
Not bad for such cheap headphones, but no match for proper headphones.
Are these bad for your ears?
Only if you lie on the speaker directly on your side for a long time, in which case the pressure might be uncomfortable. But I don't think they have anything specific about them I would say is bad for your ears - at least not that I am aware of.
Thanks, can be connected to iPhone?
I don't use iPhones, but I imagine so if it has Bluetooth.
Is there a sleep timer? Is the music stoping after time x?
There isn't, no.
One question, if you play white noise do they block outside noise or you keep hearing outside sounds
It depends how loud you turn the volume up, what kind of white noise it is, what kind out outside sounds and how loud they are. So the answer can only be 'maybe'.
I’ve been using AirPods then they broke and my wires broke wonder if they would work with Rap music???
The genre of music doesn't affect how they work. But they do affect how much you might enjoy different genres I guess. If you want to listen to loud music with heavy, intense bass, headphones like this might disappoint if you're used to listening on high-end headphones.
How can I get wired playback to work on this device I thought it could? I paired it to my phone with Bluetooth and now it will not play wired.
I don't think you can. Maybe you have a different headband?
Are these comparable to the Sleepphones headphones? Have you tried them?
Hi, I am actually working on a video review of the Sleepphones, which I'l be publishing within a week hopefully. I personally prefer the Sleepphones for comfort, sound quality and overall aesthetic design. The Lavince are much cheaper and actually louder too. But as a side sleeper, the Sleepphones definitely win for me as the speakers are encased in a separate padded section, which is then put inside the headband. And where image is concerned, they are much better looking. Although despite my criticism of the buttons on the Lavince, it does make it easier to find the buttons on the headband than the Sleepphones.
I have tried them all and sleep phones are the best. the wire on the wired version is my only issue as it wears out in about a year. the bluetooth version does not have that issue. remember to wash them regularly as they will cause zits.
How bout the battery.. How long will it last?
Easily one whole night, maybe two if you don't sleep for too long and have the music on quietly.
the sound quality is it better than airpods or airpods pro or it's worse because I use human headphone and is so much better than all headphones I have used with the sound quality but just seeing the band is so much comfortable and it's only for 9$ in my country and wanna know the quality of the sound thx
Hi Mark, the sound quality is not as good as airpods (in my opinion). It's pretty good if your goal is just to have a comfortable way to listen to some music or radio while you fall asleep. But if your goal is to lie in bed listening to music with the best possible sound quality, then stick with your airpods and take them off before you fall asleep.
@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you so much you the best in the world 😍😍😍
You're very welcome:-)
How do these do with canceling out noise. That’s the main reason I wear headphones I have various noises around my house and a noisy dog.
They have no active noise-cancellation. So the only help they provide is the small amount of padding over your ears, which can help muffle some sound. And then the type of music/audio you listen to and the volume. But compared to high-end noise-cancelling headphones, they aren't nearly as good. But then again, a loud barking dog will still break through most headphones!
where did you get them? i looked at the sight and its 4.00 dollars
I got them from Amazon at the time.
Some people say that when the music stop, or when the playlist ends, the speakers announces "Connected", really loud. Is that true?
Not in my experience. But the speakers do make announcements for some things. If they disconnect from Bluetooth, then they do announce 'disconnected'. And if you turn them off, they announce that too.
@@nosleeplessnights1
Thanks for the reply!
You're welcome. Many of these cheaper audio products have voice announcements built in. Personally, I wish they didn't, but it is what it is!
How do you charge them there is a slit it's so awkward
Yes, it is a bit awkward as you have to fish out the cable though that slit to connect them to charge. There is no wireless charging feature.
Me lo acabo de comprar (esta marca) y no sé cómo prenderlo kajsjsha y bueno, aquí estoy viendo un review sobre el producto.
Hola! Disculpame si el espanol que hablo no es perfecto. Has logrado prenderlo despues de ver el video?
@@nosleeplessnights1 Yes, if I could. I have managed to activate it and the headphones are very comfortable. Thank you so much.💕
Great! You're welcome
Any idea why mine Keep flashing blue 🙄 they didn't do it the first time I wore it
Not really! Have you tried unpairing and pairing your audio device again?
Doesnt the bluetooth radio waves disturb sleep?
Not that I've noticed. If this worries you, get one with a wire instead like the cozyphones.
Does anyone have a link to a video showing someone removing and reinstalling the components? I live in Pohnpei, Micronesia just north of the equator with no air con in my room, making sweat in the head band quite an issue. They became pretty foul smelling pretty quickly. The pockets looked to me as if they were sewn almost entirely shut. I'd just like re-assurance that I won't be destroying these by taking out the components and that I will be able to get them back in. Otherwise, I LOVE these headphones which I've had for about 4 months now. I just had to stop using them because they REALLY need to be cleaned! ;)
Oh, I see a short little blip on this close to the end of the video. Sorry, I was watching while commenting. That was specifically what I was looking for. I agree regarding the function of the buttons. I would have preferred a reverse function of the buttons, meaning, I would have preferred that changing tracks would have required the longer push of the button but that small volume changes could be made with short pushes of the button. Of course, one could set the volume on the head set at max and make volume changes on your phone phone but when sleeping, I don't want to have to reach for my phone to make volume changes without accidentally changing the track (something that's important if you're using the online brain.fm sleep program. Sometimes accidentally changing the track on that application when you meant to decrease the volume means that a track with an entirely different goal from the program for an 8 hour sleep I have set it for. Probably doesn't make any sense to people who haven't used that program. Sorry about that.
Hi, I'm happy you found the clip you were looking for! It's a bit fiddly to remove and replace the components, but it can be done. It's interesting what you say about the buttons. I'm glad it's not just me that thought it would be better the other way around!
Did they cancel out any external noise though?
No they don't have any noise cancelling tech. Having the speakers and a little material over your ear might help a bit, but it's in no way comparable to proper noise cancelling headphones - apples and pears!
