You really don’t want noise-canceling while you are laying on your side. The ear pod directly rubbing against the pillow causes wide-frequency noise which is interpreted as loud.
I agree. Plus, my memory foam pillow blocks a lot of noise on that side of my head, so it’s simply not needed. Although, I do want noise cancellation for the other ear. I doubt the sound isolation of these buds is enough if you don’t have white noise playing. Hopefully they add noise cancellation that intelligently turns off for the pillow-facing bud, if a gen 2 is ever released.
Why not? I've been using SOUNDCORE liberty 4 nc for 9 months with anc enabled and I sleep like a baby for 6 hours. The only problem I have is the earbuds get loose in my ears sometimes.
$300 is a bit of a premium for something you are going to wear just to sleep. I'm surprised there weren't any notes on the Ozlo Flex subscription. Pay $20 a month to rent a pair. IMO $20 to try something for a month before buying sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Yeah final total of the product is $320 but at that point you know you are going to like the product and you don't have to futs with a money back guarantee or anything
" just to sleep" ??? You spend 1/3 of your life sleeping dude. A bad night of sleep fucks up your day. So sleep quality should be on top of everyone's priority
@@bioticgod so many people around me ignore their bed and pillow quality which fucked up their sleep. The moment I spent $10 (SEA pricing) for a good pillow they lost their mind
@@sirgurky it's a sponsored LTT video. Sponsoring LTT channel video costs more $$$ but comes with the desired larger audience and subscriber base. The LMG marketing team I'm sure advises the channel for products but if the product maker wants to unload the money truck to push for a video on the main channel they'd be dumb not too. LMG is business after all.
this is exactly what i need but the $300 usd premium sadly is just a deal breaker for me and most people ima assume. Being a side sleeper is has been tourture finding good earbuds that cause the least amount of discomfort. You guys usually will educated on the price during these videos so i was surprised no mention of the price till i got to the sponsored link to see $300.
I think this is not really huge if you normally can't sleep it gives you a lot of qof for a tiny amount of money. Such things are the reason why we can't have non subscription stuff anymore. + There is ton of costs that one has to pay for these things to be certified especially things that are so near to you also do you thing software for this will just fly in?
They always bury the lede on price. Sleep earbuds are expensive because it’s such a niche market and it sucks. The “cheapest” option is the Anker A10 at $200 CAD, but I tried a set and they were pretty crap. I’m not willing to take the same risk at twice the price.
And no mention of a battery replacement service. It's basically going to be E-waste in a few years. (edit see replies below, they have a warranty program)
I had the Bose Sleepbuds for YEARS. The good news to other owners like me, Ozlo effectively licensed almost everything that made those work. I upgraded to the Ozlo versions after my old sleepbuds finally died and genuinely they're 100% as good as the Bose.
@@CMFT22 If you're like me and use the old sleepbuds, the best thing I can tell you is that to me as someone who daily drove Bose's version since the first one released, these are proper successors.
My Bose sleepbuds batteries are starting to fail after years of every night use. Gonna hurt forking over €325, but a good night sleep should be worth it.
@@rudymeow Even better, the team that made these is the previous Sleepbuds team. Linus briefly mentions that this team are "former Bose engineers" but the core team that made the sleepbuds with Bose spun off into their own company when Bose mothballed that product line and then they licensed a lot of the tech. So in all ways thag matter, these are the successor just under a different brand name.
to this day I've always wondered why Bose discontinued their Sleepbuds... odd that everything is the exact same thing, down to the case and sound selections. Glad I can finally replace mine when they break.
@@AverageVibes24 iirc a couple Bose employees believed in the product even when Bose discontinued them. Bose agreed to sell them the original sleepbud design and they just added a couple bits on top of them.
I bought the soundcore sleep a20, and they do absolute everything this one from Ozlo does, and even more, since the soundcore have a ton of touch input combos. I cannot speak for the comfort, but the soundcore do their job good enough. The big difference is that I paid them around 120 Euro (about 130 US dollars), and the Ozlo distributed in the EU zone are 349 Euro, therefore we pay them around 375 US dollars. Tl;dr? thanks, but no thanks.
Also been using the a20 for awhile, I live next to a highway and they've been doing a great job. Only problems are my ears have been stretched from using the wfmx4 daily so they fall out sometimes, even with the correct tip and largest wing. The touch controls for me are also inconsistent.
Yeah, when I saw these in the video, I thought how much they looked like the A20s and being 3x the price, I don't think there's value there you can't get with the Soundcore ones. I like the headphones I have from Soundcore, though I haven't tried their earbuds.
There are a couple things that didn't mentioned in the video that I think is worth to address. 1) Price. - $299 2) What do you get from their subscription? - Yes, they do have a subscription. 3) The earbud does not have a headphone. - There is mic in the case like Linus said, however, it does not work for things like phone call. 4) How many device can connected at the same time. - I am still looking the answer. Hope someone tell me if they can connect to 2 devices.
The fact they have a subscription is insane, I know that shit companies are trying their hardest to include a subscription in everything, but if I buy some $300 earbuds, they better be straight out of the box experience with no additional charges.
@@JCLB1001 The "subscription" is in lieu of paying the $300. You pay to "rent" the earbuds. Supposedly comes with lifetime warranty and free upgrade every 2 years. Still not worth it.
I'm a light sleeper who's sensitive to both light and sound. I'm not convinced of the concept of "brown noise" nor listening to audio to fall asleep though. I'm using a pair of Alpine DeepSleep silicone earplugs since two years and that's the perfect solution to me. Blocks out all the noise that used to disturb my sleep, fits comfortably (unlike foam earplugs), doesn't make disturbing noise itself (unlike foam earplugs), is infinitely reusable (unlike foam earplugs) and still lets me hear my alarm clock in the morning (unlike foam earplugs). I would highly recommend anyone to try out those or a comparable product first, before you spend 300 - 350 bones on this!
My sleep schedule is completely fudged lol Wasn't expecting this product to cost 350e considering its basically a slimmed down earbud. An issue I with foam earplugs is that I end up hearing the muscle itself and sometimes heartbeat, just wondering if thats a thing with the alpines?
the problem with devices like these, earplugs, melatonin, noise machines, whatever is you're essentially training yourself to be even more of a light sleeper and become dependent on those things for a basic biological function in a vicious cycle of bad sleep. whilst they're useful for travel or shift workers, I'd highly recommend practising sleep hygiene and fixing things so you can sleep normally. Spend your money on a sleep clinic instead to test for sleep apnea etc
@@factzilla1868while I do agree with you, in my case any, and I mean ANY, noise wakes me up after I sleep for 3-4 hours. I've been sleeping in the countryside my whole life, 0 noises, now I live in an apartment building in the middle of the city, I don't think I'll ever get used to sleeping with this amount of noise. Been using the bose sleepbuds 2 sporadically and they do impact my sleep greatly. If I end up needing to use them every day so be it, I don't want to sacrifice a full year of sleep to try to get used to the noises.
@@factzilla1868 Yes, I found I was better rested after putting ANC earbud + facemask but slowly the benefits were disappearing and now I can't sleep without those so on weekends I sleep without (For instance, I found out I didn't sleep very well because... I wasn't tired; I work from home sitted at my desk ! )
A soothing audiobook or documentary (consistent volume is essential/key) playing in the background (looped/playlist) while having a soft fan blowing near me is what helps me get a deep/sound sleep.
I also use Airpods almost religiously for sleep, and I just made peace with playing hide-and-seek the next morning for my buds. This might be huge for me!
Do they not feel like they damage your ear after few nights? Unless you are not a side sleeper but for me my ears were in bad discomfort after even 1 sleep with them
@@MiniRunnera7 You know, I did at first, but I swapped my pillows to some super fluffy ones, not even thinking about the buds at the time. I'm a side sleeper too, and it made a big difference with comfort. But they still fly out during my dream fights with Yogi the Bear and John Lennon.
@@MiniRunnera7 100%. Normal earbuds tear my ears up. I literally had scabs from sleeping in them. I might try these. I know Dank pods also recommended the bose version of these. These seem like literally the same thing with a better app... so.
I'm using SoundCore sleep A20. They're not active noise canceling but they're so comfortable, even for side sleepers. If you want to save a bit I'd recommend you those. They've also eartips that don't seal up completely, which is a godsend to me since I'd hear my heartbeat. I use the poked eartip on the side where I sleep on, the sealed one on the other side. And I made my own custom brown noise from the app, which you can transfer to the earphones, avoiding Bluetooth entirely. Battery life lasts a lot too, I wake up always with at least 30 percent remaining
The A20's are pretty garbage as a whole, though. The best I've tried in my 15 years of desperate attempts to get comfortable sleep buds, but still bad overall.
I've been using the bose sleepbuds 2 for a couple of years now, not every night but always on trips or when neighbours are being noisy and it does improve my sleep A LOT. Was afraid that they were going to break and I wouldn't have a replacement, super nice to see the team coming up with these now!
I don’t usually comment on any online forum, but this is one of my favorite pieces of editing that I’ve seen from the LTT crew. Very smooth overall, excellent and non- distracting informative text overlays, and some fun motion tracking gags without going over the top. Kudos from a fellow shooter/editor 🎉
Brown noise is a great alternative to ANC, it can drown out the signatures in external sounds that make them distracting. I actually play brown noise using an app on top of pod casts when at the gym or commuting to help fill in the empty space in the sound, that would usually be filled up by various instruments when listening to music for example.
honestly, this is one of the better sponsored videos. really enjoyed the honesty combined with actual feedback for the company. yes, the price could have and should have been mentioned. but overall, i really enjoyed this one

as someone who pre-ordered the Bose sleepbuds 2 back in october 2020, this is great news. i have slept with mine every single night since. If these are the same quality, i will be ordering a pair when my old ones break. absolute life saving product for me as a light sleeper.
Same here! Real life savers since 2020, nit a single failure. Though I don't use them every night mainly because I worry they will affect my hearing. Have you noticed your hearing being affected in any way? I might start using them every night then!
I had the Bose Sleepbuds 2 which failed over time. One just outright died with no sound and the other just got quieter and quieter. I picked these up on IndieGoGo and they are really really good!
I've used the Sleepcore A20 for 1½ years, thought about the Boze ones for a while now, because I (1) have so many complaints about the A20s and (2) hate being "forced" to have an Anker product in my home.
HI! Ozlo social media manager here. As someone that struggles with nighttime anxiety, I can says the Sleepbuds have really helped me with this. I'm able to focus on the masking sounds and my breathing and knock out soooo much faster.
Please don't listen to the marketing vulture. There is no tech product that can substitute therapy work. Please consult with a professional and enjoy getting meaningful control of your life back.
@@SaltPowered64That's a little cynical. I've had periods of time in my life and random nights throughout where I've had to put in my headphones and listen to some music to give me something to focus on instead of my brain running wild, anxiety or just random stupid thoughts alike. I think that's a perfectly reasonable sales pitch. My biggest problem is discomfort and losing them in the night.
@@tilgare Of course I'm cynical. It's my job as a consumer to be, as much as it's a corporation's job to generate the biggest amount of revenue possible.
This looks like quite a step up from the old bose sleep buds. Those could only work in standalone and not be used as regular Bluetooth buds. I tried them back then but it didn't work that well for me, I would fall asleep more easily but then wake up because of the noise again later in the night. But that's not the device's fault, they're just not for everyone. And the addition of letting you listen to stuff on your phone instead of only the preprogrammed noise makes the value proposition a lot better (although they're still expensive).
This is the IP from the Bose Sleepbuds, which I’ve used for years. I hate Bose, but these are pretty good. You can select a loop and it plays for 8-10 hours.
gotta love how precisely relevant this is for me. my airpod pro 2s end up under my bed covered in dust on a regular basis. the price for a nighttime only product is steep, but then again my airpods are also going to be used for half the day now lol they can both be overpriced i guess. one more gripe: they don’t explain what ozlo flex is, just list things in relation to the other purchase option. I can almost gather what it is, but i don’t see an actual explanation anywhere on their site
There's no subscription for the features but you should've mentioned the subscription they do offer, which actually seems like a good deal for testing. It's $20 to essentially rent a pair of the earbuds ($22 for a "guaranteed new" pair) so you can see if it's worth it for you without paying the $300. If I had the money to buy them then I'd definitely start with the subscription first, if they're actually worth it then that extra $20 doesn't really matter that much.
I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Buds + since 2020 for the same trade-offs shown at 4:46. Glad to see there's something else on the market that fits the bill after my current pair and backup pair die
BTS buds+ ftw. I refuse to let them die. Bought 2 pairs, and i will use them until their boards no longer function. The batteries are easy diy repairs!
agree with you and the comments below. I bought the newer buds 2 pro that are a downgrade in battery life(8h, instead of 10h), better sounding (not much difference) and ANC. the buds + have actually a way better passive noise cancellation than the 2 pro so that's a really big tradeoff. I would love to find an actual decent product identical to the buds+ but updated to newer bluetooth and improved sound quality (even ANC if possible). If I break my 2 pro, bet I will buy again the buds+.
The more desperate you are, the more reasonable the price sounds. I get overstimulated by sound, and my Sony XM5 earbuds are 1,000% worth every penny of their $300. Without them I hardly ever leave the house. Now I'm out and about every day. I figure it must be the same with people whose insomnia is debilitating enough.
You could get the Soundcore sleep a20 for half that price, they advertise a similar feature set, can’t attest to their quality as I’ve never tried them, but there are other options
5:33 Ok, this now top of my upcoming Christmas list, thanks LTT👍🏻 Oh and yes, I’ll admit, for me….Harry Potter audiobooks, and not telling my fav and 2nd fav, but if know me….youll guess right
I work nights and so I go to sleep in the afternoon, and I also have four loud children. The Bose Sleepbuds changed my life. I’d drop another $300 on these in a heartbeat.
The Soundcore A20 Sleepbuds have every feature listed, PLUS a 14 hour battery life, no subscription and are a fraction of the price. As someone who used both versions of the Bose Sleepbuds, I can honestly say that the Soundcore is by far a superior choice.
@@Shadow__133 That is traditionally known as a hardware rental and not a subscription in the context of requiring payment for a service to work as OP is describing. You can purchase the earbuds just like you can the A20 and not pay a subscription to use them.
@ Hey man, don't shoot the messenger, Ozlo is the one naming the scheme "Subscribe with Ozlo Flex". Of course you can choose to buy it instead, I never said otherwise.
Our engineering team painstakingly worked to develop this advanced technology in the tiniest of products, but we understand they’re not in everyone’s price range. We know we’re biased, but we think getting great sleep is worth the investment. We also offer payment plans in certain locations now as well. If you saw the manufacturing line for the bad boys...you might say otherwise. 😉
@@OzloSleepThen why not include that in the pitch? Why not let Linus explain why they are 300 bucks, let alone tell us they are? Have some transparency if they are this expensive. I'd never trust 300 bucks for small earbuds that are purely for sleeping if I don't know WHY they are that expensive in the first place. And a team working painstakingly hard is not really a reason, as much as that's appreciated, to keep the price that high. It's not like you're "retropaying" the development process back.
And payment plans are not a good way to market that. They are essentially taking up debt. Not a good argument in my opinion, go in debt for our earbuds you are paying 300 bucks for (which now has interest cause you have payment plans!)
OMG, never thought this type of product exist. AND it can work without connecting to the phone too.... Thank You!! cant wait to test it when this thing arrives.
Has Linus ever heard of ear plugs? It's like he's looking for a solution that already has a solution, but he's demanding it to be something that needs electricity 😂
Some years ago there was a mention about this "problem" of his in a video and my understanding is, that after his kid(s) are now grown a bit, he somehow got used to the "constant sounds" from when they were babies. Something like - if there isn't "noise" he can't be "at peace" sleeping. Again, my understanding of the matter.
Some people with issues that necessitate this kind of solution would probably gladly fork over that amount for something that would help give them a good night's sleep. Actually, that probably applies to a lot of sleep related stuff. You can make do with pretty much anything for sleeping, but some people still spend 4 figures on mattresses and stuff. So there's clearly a market that's willing to pay for this and to whom the price isn't that offputting.
@@r00kiet80 I just use my samsung buds. I use 1 and sleep on my side. Best part is I have well over 10h this way after I wake up for a piss I sleep on my other side . I do sometimes have to search for them in the morning tho.
I think I missed the price. But also, how do you change the battery? I assume after 3 years they won't make it through a night? I see others saying $300. It sounds high but actually as far as sleep aids go. That's cheap. A simple chin strap is $90. A Cpap machine is $1000. That stupid water tank is several hundred. To be replaced every year. The mask itself its $200, to be replaced twice a year. The whole sleep industry is one big scam. I am not surprised these cost $300, I am just disappointed they joined the big sleep scam.

Bose originally developed these and couldn't sell them well enough at $300 to justify keeping them around. I don't know that I would trust that a company that doesn't have the extensive product catalog to help cover losses that Bose has (or the name recognition either) to be able to sustain them either.
Been using these for months (Kickstarter), and they are awesome! More comfortable than any other option and now that they've ironed out the firmware bugs their performance has been solid and reliable. Anker soundcore version still doesn't compare, though they are much cheaper and are comfortable.
For those who wonder why he didn’t mention the 300 price tag and other cons: this is a sponsored video, there will be no sections against the product , have to look for a buyer review with his own money guys
I had loud neighbours, so I tried a lot of earbuds to help me sleep. I tried the Bose Earbuds (very similar to these), but could only play preloaded noises and never really could fall asleep with those. Tried others as well, but was always lacking the function to connect to my phone and just fall asleep to what I want to listen to or hold the entire night... so I never really used them- The ONLY buds I found so far are really my cup of tea are the Soundcore Space A40... you can still kinda feel them in your ears, but I could finally sleep with them (can sleep on the side without them triggering some buttons, have active noise cancelling, can play ALL night long podcast if I want to or whatever I want to play over my phone, are flat enough to fall asleep with)
No conclusion or frequency response graph for the product??? Also, why did you post this on the main channel? I feel like this was an undisclosed advertisement that i just wasted my time watching...
Another option that I use: Acoustic Sheep SleepPhones. The Bluetooth ones last 24 hours, they are in a headband so they're flat and on top of everything you don't have to shove anything in your ear! And there are no touch controls, they have actual physical buttons. They come in wired and wireless and some come with a mic for answering calls and one version can be wirelesly charged. Sorry, not sponsored or anything, I just really love them and I thought I'd share because these buds have a lot of no goes for me and I thought that other people might have the same issues. Happy sleeping!
Foam ear plug cost pennies if you live in a noisy environment and won’t fall out. If you need music to sleep, consider weening yourself off of your stimulation before you cook yourself
@@OzloSleep Very true, however we know LTT is based in Canada so them showing their CAD price point will at least be a starting point. And they know that most of their audience is in the USA, so they can state the USD price point and be assured that a overwhelming majority will get an accurate price point.
I sleep with $40 earplugs that significantly lower noise, but not completely. They fit similar to these. I’d imagine if I had a brown noise machine next to me it would offer the same effect at a fraction of the cost.
350€?! WTF that price is wayyyy too much..... my galaxy buds 2 pro where like 200€ and my gf Sennheiser where 250... what are they thinking with such a overpriced product...
I think it's fairly proven that rainfall helps sleeping, the reason being that in the old days when it was raining all or most of the animals take shelther, making the cavemen feel relatively safe to sleep.
For people with tinnitus sleeping in silence is not possible. When you hear the (light) sound of rain or a babbling brook instead of the tinnitus sounds those people can sleep much better.
Hey Linus, you should try the Manta Bluetooth Sleep Mask! It blocks out all light, so I can fall asleep even when my wife is watching TV in the room. The mask stays securely in place all night thanks to the adjustable band, and it's super comfortable since it doesn’t go inside your ears.
Linus, insomnia is a medical condition which affects your whole body, both mentally and physically. I've been on sleeping medications since I was 15 (I'm 34 now), tried multiple types of drugs until my shrink and neurologist found the right combination. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes for the medication to kick in, I feel rested, good quality sleep and, most important, I'm not groggy in the morning unlike other combinations tried before.
Many of our customers have been able to ditch their sleep medications after using our Sleepbuds, but everyone is different. We just want to help people get best sleep possible. 😉
@@OzloSleep Oh, I'm not criticizing your product. I'm very aware that for some people, background noise helps them fall asleep, I was just pointing out that if you have insomnia, you should seek medical advice. If your product also helps them, alongside medical treatment, amazing, maybe less drugs needed. Just clarifying, I wasn't attacking your product :)
I use a bluetooth speaker with a bit of bass beside my bed, which plays a TH-cam video called “ 🎧 Star Trek TNG Bridge Background Ambience 8 HOURS (for sleep, study, work, relaxation, asmr) ” It works so well I haven't tried any other sound since, even though I kind of want to, out of curiosity only. I also put in a pair of 3M earplugs in my ears, which blocks out most sounds but not the bassy sound of the video so much. And I use a sleep mask too, which is far more important that you'd think if your room isn't completely dark. Oh, and a weighted blanket. Mine is 8kg. Not light. Not too heavy. Sleep is not something I have to worry about any more. I definitely seem to have cracked it.
I was looking into these when they were announced 4 years ago. I am a pretty light sleeper and need some white noise for most nights. The price was a big drawback for me, but I would have gone for it had I not found Anker's soundcore A20 sleep buds. They do all the important things, cost 120 gbp, super comfy when side sleeping, and I wake up with 60% charge left every day. Anyone who wants to buy something that works and doesn't drain your pockets too much, I can really recommend this!
I love that so many years after the show made that joke once, it has wormed its way into the shared conciousness so much, that its becoming a thing. Truly, Community was streets ahead.
4:36 actually that is correct. Contradictively to what you'd think, your brain doesn't entirely shut down in sleep. As I recall the region that governs self preservation remains active and heavily listens into the sounds of danger. Consequently, as silence generally means a predator has scared of everything else, you'll fibd yourself woken or disturbed by perfect noise cancellation. Exceptions do apply, as some are very heavy sleepers
The best sleep buds are the buds you don't use anymore because they're worn, don't hold a charge as well as they used to, and the silicon tips get stuck in your ears when you take the bud out.
I suffer from tinnitus, this could be exactly what I need! Our house is awfully quiet at night, which is great for my girlfriend, but makes me go nuts from the orchestra in my head. So I sleep on the couch half of the time, where I put up something on the TV as background noise. I've tried other earbuds, but they all fail in being comfortable enough to sleep with. Definitely gonna try these!
That's what I use sleepbuds for. Or rather I use the Anker Soundcore A20 Sleepbuds, they're way cheaper and basically do everything these do. No idea how they compare, but I can say that for the use of masking tinnitus (I suffer from this too, real bad), sleepbuds in general absolutely helps. If nothing else it gives your brain something else to focus on instead of the noise in your head, which is a godsend when trying to fall asleep.
I've been using an eye mask with built in speakers the past couple years and found this to be a great solution. The issue of washing the eye mask can be tricky, but I've been able to remove the electronics and get em back in after it dries. I'm a side sleeper and find it much more comfortable than actually having something stuck in your ear.

Workers: "you need more sleep man"
Linus: "yeah, I can make a video about that..."
this is exactly what i need but the $300 usd premium sadly is just a deal breaker for me and most people ima assume. Being a side sleeper is has been tourture finding good earbuds that cause the least amount of discomfort. You guys usually will educated on the price during these videos so i was surprised no mention of the price till i got to the sponsored link to see $300.
I think this is not really huge if you normally can't sleep it gives you a lot of qof for a tiny amount of money. Such things are the reason why we can't have non subscription stuff anymore. + There is ton of costs that one has to pay for these things to be certified especially things that are so near to you also do you thing software for this will just fly in?
Proud 1st gen Galaxy Buds Pro sleeper, pretty comfortable for me.
They always bury the lede on price. Sleep earbuds are expensive because it’s such a niche market and it sucks. The “cheapest” option is the Anker A10 at $200 CAD, but I tried a set and they were pretty crap. I’m not willing to take the same risk at twice the price.
And no mention of a battery replacement service. It's basically going to be E-waste in a few years. (edit see replies below, they have a warranty program)
@@platin2148 My dude, $300 is not a "tiny amount of money" (for many of us, at least).
I had the Bose Sleepbuds for YEARS. The good news to other owners like me, Ozlo effectively licensed almost everything that made those work. I upgraded to the Ozlo versions after my old sleepbuds finally died and genuinely they're 100% as good as the Bose.
@@MaybeAnnatar I waited for so long for these to come out. I love this.
@@CMFT22 If you're like me and use the old sleepbuds, the best thing I can tell you is that to me as someone who daily drove Bose's version since the first one released, these are proper successors.
My Bose sleepbuds batteries are starting to fail after years of every night use. Gonna hurt forking over €325, but a good night sleep should be worth it.
The Bose sleepbuds is the first thing came to my mind too, if they are licensed then it make a lot of sense.
@@rudymeow Even better, the team that made these is the previous Sleepbuds team. Linus briefly mentions that this team are "former Bose engineers" but the core team that made the sleepbuds with Bose spun off into their own company when Bose mothballed that product line and then they licensed a lot of the tech. So in all ways thag matter, these are the successor just under a different brand name.

Yup, I always wake up to turn it off 4 hours later.
It’s my favorite feature. Switches from Star Trek to ocean sounds once I’m asleep.
to this day I've always wondered why Bose discontinued their Sleepbuds... odd that everything is the exact same thing, down to the case and sound selections. Glad I can finally replace mine when they break.
This.
I sent mine back and still haven’t got my refund check like 4 years later. I’ve asked for it like 15 times.
@@AverageVibes24 iirc a couple Bose employees believed in the product even when Bose discontinued them. Bose agreed to sell them the original sleepbud design and they just added a couple bits on top of them.
The same exact name, too. I'm fine with mine but I just don't use them since I'm so restless at night.
Weird I have had mine for ever
Elijah, might be worth having a sleep study done, they are easy to do at home and will confirm if you have any level of sleep apnea or not.
Always a good idea to do a sleep study if you have the means to do so. 👍
I bought the soundcore sleep a20, and they do absolute everything this one from Ozlo does, and even more, since the soundcore have a ton of touch input combos. I cannot speak for the comfort, but the soundcore do their job good enough.
The big difference is that I paid them around 120 Euro (about 130 US dollars), and the Ozlo distributed in the EU zone are 349 Euro, therefore we pay them around 375 US dollars.
Tl;dr? thanks, but no thanks.
Also been using the a20 for awhile, I live next to a highway and they've been doing a great job. Only problems are my ears have been stretched from using the wfmx4 daily so they fall out sometimes, even with the correct tip and largest wing. The touch controls for me are also inconsistent.
Agreed. I have the soundcore ones too but they are horrible wide sleeping. Otherwise great.
as long as you're getting great sleep, that's all the matters, right?
Yeah, when I saw these in the video, I thought how much they looked like the A20s and being 3x the price, I don't think there's value there you can't get with the Soundcore ones. I like the headphones I have from Soundcore, though I haven't tried their earbuds.
Another nod for the A20's here!

Came here to post about this. Chef's kiss to the script writer.
There are a couple things that didn't mentioned in the video that I think is worth to address.
1) Price. - $299
2) What do you get from their subscription? - Yes, they do have a subscription.
3) The earbud does not have a headphone. - There is mic in the case like Linus said, however, it does not work for things like phone call.
4) How many device can connected at the same time. - I am still looking the answer. Hope someone tell me if they can connect to 2 devices.
Seems like "snakeoil for insomniacs" to me. Would not recommend anyone to get this without full refund policy.
The fact they have a subscription is insane, I know that shit companies are trying their hardest to include a subscription in everything, but if I buy some $300 earbuds, they better be straight out of the box experience with no additional charges.
@@JCLB1001 The "subscription" is in lieu of paying the $300. You pay to "rent" the earbuds. Supposedly comes with lifetime warranty and free upgrade every 2 years. Still not worth it.
I would think the subscription would be for maybe a trip or temp use. Not worth it long term
@@ringtyler cant you just pay one month get the buds and then cancel???
3:00 when you hired jacksepticeye??
Exactly what i came to comment.
I'm a light sleeper who's sensitive to both light and sound. I'm not convinced of the concept of "brown noise" nor listening to audio to fall asleep though. I'm using a pair of Alpine DeepSleep silicone earplugs since two years and that's the perfect solution to me. Blocks out all the noise that used to disturb my sleep, fits comfortably (unlike foam earplugs), doesn't make disturbing noise itself (unlike foam earplugs), is infinitely reusable (unlike foam earplugs) and still lets me hear my alarm clock in the morning (unlike foam earplugs).
I would highly recommend anyone to try out those or a comparable product first, before you spend 300 - 350 bones on this!
My sleep schedule is completely fudged lol
Wasn't expecting this product to cost 350e considering its basically a slimmed down earbud.
An issue I with foam earplugs is that I end up hearing the muscle itself and sometimes heartbeat, just wondering if thats a thing with the alpines?
we're glad to hear you're getting great sleep!
the problem with devices like these, earplugs, melatonin, noise machines, whatever is you're essentially training yourself to be even more of a light sleeper and become dependent on those things for a basic biological function in a vicious cycle of bad sleep.
whilst they're useful for travel or shift workers, I'd highly recommend practising sleep hygiene and fixing things so you can sleep normally. Spend your money on a sleep clinic instead to test for sleep apnea etc
@@factzilla1868while I do agree with you, in my case any, and I mean ANY, noise wakes me up after I sleep for 3-4 hours. I've been sleeping in the countryside my whole life, 0 noises, now I live in an apartment building in the middle of the city, I don't think I'll ever get used to sleeping with this amount of noise.
Been using the bose sleepbuds 2 sporadically and they do impact my sleep greatly. If I end up needing to use them every day so be it, I don't want to sacrifice a full year of sleep to try to get used to the noises.
@@factzilla1868 Yes, I found I was better rested after putting ANC earbud + facemask but slowly the benefits were disappearing and now I can't sleep without those so on weekends I sleep without (For instance, I found out I didn't sleep very well because... I wasn't tired; I work from home sitted at my desk ! )
A soothing audiobook or documentary (consistent volume is essential/key) playing in the background (looped/playlist) while having a soft fan blowing near me is what helps me get a deep/sound sleep.
sounds like you've got your routine down! 👏
I also use Airpods almost religiously for sleep, and I just made peace with playing hide-and-seek the next morning for my buds. This might be huge for me!
Do they not feel like they damage your ear after few nights? Unless you are not a side sleeper but for me my ears were in bad discomfort after even 1 sleep with them
Too real!! His shaking head test said it all. 🤣
@@MiniRunnera7 You know, I did at first, but I swapped my pillows to some super fluffy ones, not even thinking about the buds at the time. I'm a side sleeper too, and it made a big difference with comfort. But they still fly out during my dream fights with Yogi the Bear and John Lennon.
@@MiniRunnera7 100%. Normal earbuds tear my ears up. I literally had scabs from sleeping in them. I might try these. I know Dank pods also recommended the bose version of these. These seem like literally the same thing with a better app... so.

I'm using SoundCore sleep A20. They're not active noise canceling but they're so comfortable, even for side sleepers. If you want to save a bit I'd recommend you those. They've also eartips that don't seal up completely, which is a godsend to me since I'd hear my heartbeat. I use the poked eartip on the side where I sleep on, the sealed one on the other side. And I made my own custom brown noise from the app, which you can transfer to the earphones, avoiding Bluetooth entirely. Battery life lasts a lot too, I wake up always with at least 30 percent remaining
Yup. Come here to say I have the same. About a third of the price too...
The A20's are pretty garbage as a whole, though. The best I've tried in my 15 years of desperate attempts to get comfortable sleep buds, but still bad overall.
I hear my hearbeat even without headphones
@@Staeren I've tried 3 before them, they're by far the most comfortable
@@Juurus the custom brown noise should be masking that. That kind of eartips won't increase the heartbeat sound
I've been using the bose sleepbuds 2 for a couple of years now, not every night but always on trips or when neighbours are being noisy and it does improve my sleep A LOT. Was afraid that they were going to break and I wouldn't have a replacement, super nice to see the team coming up with these now!

I don’t usually comment on any online forum, but this is one of my favorite pieces of editing that I’ve seen from the LTT crew. Very smooth overall, excellent and non- distracting informative text overlays, and some fun motion tracking gags without going over the top. Kudos from a fellow shooter/editor 🎉
Brown noise is a great alternative to ANC, it can drown out the signatures in external sounds that make them distracting. I actually play brown noise using an app on top of pod casts when at the gym or commuting to help fill in the empty space in the sound, that would usually be filled up by various instruments when listening to music for example.
You get it! 😉

as someone who pre-ordered the Bose sleepbuds 2 back in october 2020, this is great news. i have slept with mine every single night since. If these are the same quality, i will be ordering a pair when my old ones break. absolute life saving product for me as a light sleeper.
We think you're gonna LOVE ours then. Definitely new & improved. 😉💤
Same here! Real life savers since 2020, nit a single failure. Though I don't use them every night mainly because I worry they will affect my hearing. Have you noticed your hearing being affected in any way? I might start using them every night then!
I had the Bose Sleepbuds 2 which failed over time. One just outright died with no sound and the other just got quieter and quieter. I picked these up on IndieGoGo and they are really really good!
@@onticdani haven't noticed any difference in hearing🙂though I have them at 60% volume
I've used the Sleepcore A20 for 1½ years, thought about the Boze ones for a while now, because I (1) have so many complaints about the A20s and (2) hate being "forced" to have an Anker product in my home.
brown noise while sleeping is good. Brown note while sleeping will lead to a very unpleasant time waking up
I wish my sleeping problems where sound related...
They didn't invented a device to shutdown your mind while sleeping yet?
HI! Ozlo social media manager here. As someone that struggles with nighttime anxiety, I can says the Sleepbuds have really helped me with this. I'm able to focus on the masking sounds and my breathing and knock out soooo much faster.
Please don't listen to the marketing vulture. There is no tech product that can substitute therapy work. Please consult with a professional and enjoy getting meaningful control of your life back.
@@SaltPowered64That's a little cynical. I've had periods of time in my life and random nights throughout where I've had to put in my headphones and listen to some music to give me something to focus on instead of my brain running wild, anxiety or just random stupid thoughts alike. I think that's a perfectly reasonable sales pitch. My biggest problem is discomfort and losing them in the night.
@@tilgare Of course I'm cynical. It's my job as a consumer to be, as much as it's a corporation's job to generate the biggest amount of revenue possible.

This looks like quite a step up from the old bose sleep buds. Those could only work in standalone and not be used as regular Bluetooth buds.
I tried them back then but it didn't work that well for me, I would fall asleep more easily but then wake up because of the noise again later in the night. But that's not the device's fault, they're just not for everyone. And the addition of letting you listen to stuff on your phone instead of only the preprogrammed noise makes the value proposition a lot better (although they're still expensive).
This is the IP from the Bose Sleepbuds, which I’ve used for years. I hate Bose, but these are pretty good. You can select a loop and it plays for 8-10 hours.
The video just... ended without any kind of conclusion, or even some type of subjective "did they help me sleep better?"

gotta love how precisely relevant this is for me. my airpod pro 2s end up under my bed covered in dust on a regular basis. the price for a nighttime only product is steep, but then again my airpods are also going to be used for half the day now lol they can both be overpriced i guess. one more gripe: they don’t explain what ozlo flex is, just list things in relation to the other purchase option. I can almost gather what it is, but i don’t see an actual explanation anywhere on their site
There's no subscription for the features but you should've mentioned the subscription they do offer, which actually seems like a good deal for testing. It's $20 to essentially rent a pair of the earbuds ($22 for a "guaranteed new" pair) so you can see if it's worth it for you without paying the $300.
If I had the money to buy them then I'd definitely start with the subscription first, if they're actually worth it then that extra $20 doesn't really matter that much.
I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Buds + since 2020 for the same trade-offs shown at 4:46. Glad to see there's something else on the market that fits the bill after my current pair and backup pair die
We'll be here if you ever need us! 😉
BTS buds+ ftw. I refuse to let them die. Bought 2 pairs, and i will use them until their boards no longer function. The batteries are easy diy repairs!
agree with you and the comments below. I bought the newer buds 2 pro that are a downgrade in battery life(8h, instead of 10h), better sounding (not much difference) and ANC. the buds + have actually a way better passive noise cancellation than the 2 pro so that's a really big tradeoff.
I would love to find an actual decent product identical to the buds+ but updated to newer bluetooth and improved sound quality (even ANC if possible).
If I break my 2 pro, bet I will buy again the buds+.
I really want these, but £300? wft? Half that would be out of my price range.
I just sleep when I die i guess.
The more desperate you are, the more reasonable the price sounds.
I get overstimulated by sound, and my Sony XM5 earbuds are 1,000% worth every penny of their $300. Without them I hardly ever leave the house. Now I'm out and about every day. I figure it must be the same with people whose insomnia is debilitating enough.
I'll enjoy the chinese clones for $30.
I guess the price is because it's a niche product that doesn't benefit so much from economy of scale.
You could get the Soundcore sleep a20 for half that price, they advertise a similar feature set, can’t attest to their quality as I’ve never tried them, but there are other options
There are a lot of people who pay a lot more than that for a good night's sleep. $300 isn't that bad in the 'sleep industry' unfortunately
This is literally a paid ad being presented as a review (the fact that they're not outright calling it a review doesn't change that fact).

@@veryboringname.They do, but it's not for features, it's to rent them instead of buying.
@@Shadow__133 That is traditionally known as a hardware rental and not a subscription in the context of requiring payment for a service to work as OP is describing. You can purchase the earbuds just like you can the A20 and not pay a subscription to use them.
@ Hey man, don't shoot the messenger, Ozlo is the one naming the scheme "Subscribe with Ozlo Flex". Of course you can choose to buy it instead, I never said otherwise.
@Shadow__133 Yes but you missed the context of OP's comment. OP was referring to classic subscriptions.
300€ for earbuds is INSANE considering that i got ear buds with GOOD ANC + 7-8 hours of battery that charge to full in 30min for just 55€.
Which one? Searching such for quite some time.
that is not a fair comparison, but 300€ is very overpriced indeed
Our engineering team painstakingly worked to develop this advanced technology in the tiniest of products, but we understand they’re not in everyone’s price range. We know we’re biased, but we think getting great sleep is worth the investment. We also offer payment plans in certain locations now as well. If you saw the manufacturing line for the bad boys...you might say otherwise. 😉
@@OzloSleepThen why not include that in the pitch? Why not let Linus explain why they are 300 bucks, let alone tell us they are? Have some transparency if they are this expensive. I'd never trust 300 bucks for small earbuds that are purely for sleeping if I don't know WHY they are that expensive in the first place. And a team working painstakingly hard is not really a reason, as much as that's appreciated, to keep the price that high. It's not like you're "retropaying" the development process back.
And payment plans are not a good way to market that. They are essentially taking up debt. Not a good argument in my opinion, go in debt for our earbuds you are paying 300 bucks for (which now has interest cause you have payment plans!)

Some years ago there was a mention about this "problem" of his in a video and my understanding is, that after his kid(s) are now grown a bit, he somehow got used to the "constant sounds" from when they were babies.

Some people with issues that necessitate this kind of solution would probably gladly fork over that amount for something that would help give them a good night's sleep. Actually, that probably applies to a lot of sleep related stuff. You can make do with pretty much anything for sleeping, but some people still spend 4 figures on mattresses and stuff. So there's clearly a market that's willing to pay for this and to whom the price isn't that offputting.

I think I missed the price. But also, how do you change the battery? I assume after 3 years they won't make it through a night?
I see others saying $300. It sounds high but actually as far as sleep aids go. That's cheap. A simple chin strap is $90. A Cpap machine is $1000. That stupid water tank is several hundred. To be replaced every year. The mask itself its $200, to be replaced twice a year. The whole sleep industry is one big scam.

Bose originally developed these and couldn't sell them well enough at $300 to justify keeping them around. I don't know that I would trust that a company that doesn't have the extensive product catalog to help cover losses that Bose has (or the name recognition either) to be able to sustain them either.
Soundcore sleep a20 --- i brought these and they're INCREDIBLE
Been using these for months (Kickstarter), and they are awesome! More comfortable than any other option and now that they've ironed out the firmware bugs their performance has been solid and reliable. Anker soundcore version still doesn't compare, though they are much cheaper and are comfortable.

That's what happens when a company sponsors a video, things dont get mentioned. No mention that is $300
I had loud neighbours, so I tried a lot of earbuds to help me sleep. I tried the Bose Earbuds (very similar to these), but could only play preloaded noises and never really could fall asleep with those. Tried others as well, but was always lacking the function to connect to my phone and just fall asleep to what I want to listen to or hold the entire night... so I never really used them- The ONLY buds I found so far are really my cup of tea are the Soundcore Space A40... you can still kinda feel them in your ears, but I could finally sleep with them (can sleep on the side without them triggering some buttons, have active noise cancelling, can play ALL night long podcast if I want to or whatever I want to play over my phone, are flat enough to fall asleep with)
You'd love our Sleepbuds then! You're able to stream anything you'd like!
Exactly what I need! I like to listen to a Podcast which sometimes wakes up my GF and it has been a hassle!
Anker also has a version of sleep buds. I would love to see a Roundup/comparison!
No conclusion or frequency response graph for the product??? Also, why did you post this on the main channel?
I feel like this was an undisclosed advertisement that i just wasted my time watching...
300$ and for future "trust me bro" features... Yeah, bulls*** on that...
Editors really puttin in the work with the effects lol I love it
Another option that I use: Acoustic Sheep SleepPhones. The Bluetooth ones last 24 hours, they are in a headband so they're flat and on top of everything you don't have to shove anything in your ear! And there are no touch controls, they have actual physical buttons. They come in wired and wireless and some come with a mic for answering calls and one version can be wirelesly charged.
Sorry, not sponsored or anything, I just really love them and I thought I'd share because these buds have a lot of no goes for me and I thought that other people might have the same issues.
Happy sleeping!
Foam ear plug cost pennies if you live in a noisy environment and won’t fall out. If you need music to sleep, consider weening yourself off of your stimulation before you cook yourself
Don't assume everyone is as blessed as you. I need white noise, and whenever I put in earbuds, I get headaches and ringing in my ears.
We can confirm that our Sleepbuds will not "cook" anyone.
@@Uufda651 truth. everyone's sleep environment is so different.
An advertisement without the price point is a scummy thing
The price varies depending on your location.
@@OzloSleep Very true, however we know LTT is based in Canada so them showing their CAD price point will at least be a starting point. And they know that most of their audience is in the USA, so they can state the USD price point and be assured that a overwhelming majority will get an accurate price point.
3:32 what is that weird sound
sounds like something rubbing against the mic
I sleep with $40 earplugs that significantly lower noise, but not completely. They fit similar to these.
I’d imagine if I had a brown noise machine next to me it would offer the same effect at a fraction of the cost.
The person sleeping next to you might get annoyed at the noise.
that late night pizza may be the smartest marketing yet xD
350€?! WTF that price is wayyyy too much..... my galaxy buds 2 pro where like 200€ and my gf Sennheiser where 250... what are they thinking with such a overpriced product...
Noise is bad for sleep quality, start sleeping in silence, or use earplugs rather than earphones.
I think it's fairly proven that rainfall helps sleeping, the reason being that in the old days when it was raining all or most of the animals take shelther, making the cavemen feel relatively safe to sleep.
For people with tinnitus sleeping in silence is not possible. When you hear the (light) sound of rain or a babbling brook instead of the tinnitus sounds those people can sleep much better.
Not everyone is lucky enough to sleep in silence. Some of us are sleeping next to humans that snore like bears!
@@remydeboer9769 so true!
This is why people hate on ltt. You seriously didn't think of mentioning pricing. Jesus what a load of marketing wank.
The price of our Sleepbuds vary depending on your location. 👍
@@OzloSleep So do all products? And yet they mention pricing (Typically US and CAD at least) in all their other videos...
Hey Linus, you should try the Manta Bluetooth Sleep Mask! It blocks out all light, so I can fall asleep even when my wife is watching TV in the room. The mask stays securely in place all night thanks to the adjustable band, and it's super comfortable since it doesn’t go inside your ears.
I took a chance and backed these on kickstarter. Pretty expensive, but helped with the issues linus mentioned
Bose couldnt sell them at $300 so i doubt these guys will be around for long
$300 Go ... yourself.
Didn't Bose used to own these?
Edit: lol, they addressed it.
Linus, insomnia is a medical condition which affects your whole body, both mentally and physically. I've been on sleeping medications since I was 15 (I'm 34 now), tried multiple types of drugs until my shrink and neurologist found the right combination. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes for the medication to kick in, I feel rested, good quality sleep and, most important, I'm not groggy in the morning unlike other combinations tried before.
Many of our customers have been able to ditch their sleep medications after using our Sleepbuds, but everyone is different. We just want to help people get best sleep possible. 😉
@@OzloSleep Oh, I'm not criticizing your product. I'm very aware that for some people, background noise helps them fall asleep, I was just pointing out that if you have insomnia, you should seek medical advice. If your product also helps them, alongside medical treatment, amazing, maybe less drugs needed. Just clarifying, I wasn't attacking your product :)
I use a bluetooth speaker with a bit of bass beside my bed,
which plays a TH-cam video called
“ 🎧 Star Trek TNG Bridge Background Ambience 8 HOURS (for sleep, study, work, relaxation, asmr) ”
It works so well I haven't tried any other sound since,
even though I kind of want to, out of curiosity only.
I also put in a pair of 3M earplugs in my ears, which blocks out most sounds but not the bassy sound of the video so much.
And I use a sleep mask too, which is far more important that you'd think if your room isn't completely dark.
Oh, and a weighted blanket. Mine is 8kg. Not light. Not too heavy.
Sleep is not something I have to worry about any more. I definitely seem to have cracked it.
I was looking into these when they were announced 4 years ago. I am a pretty light sleeper and need some white noise for most nights.
The price was a big drawback for me, but I would have gone for it had I not found Anker's soundcore A20 sleep buds. They do all the important things, cost 120 gbp, super comfy when side sleeping, and I wake up with 60% charge left every day. Anyone who wants to buy something that works and doesn't drain your pockets too much, I can really recommend this!
My husband said "a mouse f@rting" would wake me up! Will check them out - thanks for the vid.
I love that so many years after the show made that joke once, it has wormed its way into the shared conciousness so much, that its becoming a thing. Truly, Community was streets ahead.
4:36 actually that is correct. Contradictively to what you'd think, your brain doesn't entirely shut down in sleep. As I recall the region that governs self preservation remains active and heavily listens into the sounds of danger. Consequently, as silence generally means a predator has scared of everything else, you'll fibd yourself woken or disturbed by perfect noise cancellation. Exceptions do apply, as some are very heavy sleepers
Linus riffs on other reviewers for going easy or doing under-advertised paid promos yet here he is doing it for $300 sleepbuds.
The best sleep buds are the buds you don't use anymore because they're worn, don't hold a charge as well as they used to, and the silicon tips get stuck in your ears when you take the bud out.
Their logo is literally 60s Aperture Science
I'd feel like a real 'test subject' after paying $300 for a set of these.
I suffer from tinnitus, this could be exactly what I need!
Our house is awfully quiet at night, which is great for my girlfriend, but makes me go nuts from the orchestra in my head.
So I sleep on the couch half of the time, where I put up something on the TV as background noise. I've tried other earbuds, but they all fail in being comfortable enough to sleep with.
Definitely gonna try these!
That's what I use sleepbuds for. Or rather I use the Anker Soundcore A20 Sleepbuds, they're way cheaper and basically do everything these do. No idea how they compare, but I can say that for the use of masking tinnitus (I suffer from this too, real bad), sleepbuds in general absolutely helps. If nothing else it gives your brain something else to focus on instead of the noise in your head, which is a godsend when trying to fall asleep.
Can't wait to hear if they live up to the hype long-term. Great review as always, Linus!
I've been using an eye mask with built in speakers the past couple years and found this to be a great solution. The issue of washing the eye mask can be tricky, but I've been able to remove the electronics and get em back in after it dries. I'm a side sleeper and find it much more comfortable than actually having something stuck in your ear.
Sounds like you've got a great system in place. Our Sleepbuds were definitely made for side sleepers! 😉
Thanks for sharing this! 👍
