Great review, thank you. I have had a sleep mask before (different brand) which was great when I started using it, but the problem I had was that after repeated use the velcro where it attached at the back stretched too much and eventually it was too big to fit on my head properly. Do you think this would be a problem with Manta Sleep Mask?
I don’t believe so. You have a lot of room to play with as far as where to Velcro too on this mask. If you have a really small head you’ll obviously have less room. I have been using the manta sleep mask pro for probably about 10 months now and haven’t noticed very much stretching in the fabric at all. I got a new version as well of the sleep mask pro and they are both the same length still. So no real noticeable stretch over time.
I heard it's good for someone who's partner snores. Pair it with earplugs and white noise and it should help. I'm trying it out this week traveling with a group of cyclists and sleeping in a big room with cots laid out and I hear have a "symphony of snoring". So hoping this mask helps muffle the snores along with the plugs.
@@rust7731 Not sure about podcasts but you can hear an audio of brown, pink, or white noise decently. It might though. Maybe those old school earbuds about the size of earbuds could be the answer with just a regular sleep mask.
Yeah it’s definitely less comfortable than the pro version (Still really comfortable though). I still think the Pro is the way to go. But I guess size is the price you pay for the added tech in this mask. The top head strap that they include really helps with the extra weight. I would argue wearing the top head strap is almost a necessity.
How is this for front sleepers? I've heard it's not that good but what if you don't use a pillow as a front sleeper because that would kink your head back too much, could this be feasible?
I would go for the Manta Sleep Mask Pro instead. It’s not as bulky as this one is. Also I’m assuming while your front sleeping your head is to one side so you can breathe. So yeah the pro should definitely work.
Great review! How does this work with noise blocking? Earplugs fall out, and my hope is that the noise cancelling remains on while it is on. I personally have no need for the music, but some noise blocking with this over the ears would be very helpful.
Good question, but I’ve got an unfortunate answer. This sleep mask isn’t designed with any noise cancellation. If you want to block out light and listen to music it’s great but you’ll still need earplugs to drown out the noise. Maybe try Loop earplugs they have a pretty good design for keeping them in the ears and can fit a different ear sizes.
Yes they most likely will. Especially if it’s dead quiet in the room. If you have the volume a bit higher they definitely will be able to hear it. It’s good for low volume relaxing noise though or if you like sleeping with white noise.
headphones whilst the sound is great are very much standard .. hard ... plastic casing not super thin as advertised ... I mean for meditation ... brilliant ... but if you are a side sleeper and or live in a hot climate ... no ... there is a lot of suspect reviews if you ask me ..... Not a great choice for side sleepers ..... great for black out or if you sleep on your back. Its a well made product but and its a big but the speakers will hurt your head
Side sleeper here who has been using this for 18 months every single night. Sometimes if I’ve been on the same side and in a very specific position for a long time, I’ll wake up and my ear is slightly sore. But overall, it’s super comfortable for me and mostly stays on all night too.
@@babybluegrl8082 maybe my head is heavier but the headphone casings are hard, not as big as other headbands but big enough to wake up with a sore head ...they need to improve them...
too much dog barks, and under construction noise that distubs me, to be able to sleep well, what do you listen. I tried: th-cam.com/video/FdN1pnEaJs0/w-d-xo.html I had headache. do you recomment like "ocean waves" or maybe "rain voice" to sleep?

That does sound like a smart pairing! Hope it works out well for you.
Just curious...did it block out your partner's snoring?
This mask doesn’t block sound it’s not designed for that. You’d still need earplugs for that. Just like with any sleep mask.
So the volume goes up enough to hear the sound trough plugs? Because I need to block all other sounds but I still wanna hear my podcast.

that mask is incredibly huge. how that is not awkward/uncomfortable to wear i can't understand. must be a bit heavier that the pro one, i'd imagine.

Helps me drown out my wife’s snoring!

How's the noise bleed out of these? Will the person sleeping next to you be able to hear anything?
Yes they most likely will. Especially if it’s dead quiet in the room. If you have the volume a bit higher they definitely will be able to hear it. It’s good for low volume relaxing noise though or if you like sleeping with white noise.

I appreciate this. Its like $140 so id hate to buy it just to have the casings dig into my ears.

Is is noise block out too?
Nope, no noise cancellation. And it doesn’t really block out any outside noise
