Just saw an ad for this thing and am interested. I tend to sleep during day because of night shift and, on top of that, I usually need to listen to a podcast or historical documentary or a physics lecture or something otherwise my mind starts to wonder and I get intrusive thoughts that keep me up. Up till now, I've mostly just taken a massive amount of benadryl every day to force me to sleep. Hopefully, this could work better than that.
I don’t work night shifts, but otherwise you have very similar sleep needs to myself and it’s worked great for me for those needs. I use this thing every night and it’s been fantastic
I actually have the original manta sleep mask and i can tell its light years better than every other sleep mask i tried. The eye cups are amazing, cause I used to always get annoyed with my eye lashes rubbing the wrong way on regular sleep masks. I've ordered this sound mask because I am a side sleeper, and find the eye cups a little pressuring, so hoping this helps. I also love a good ambient sound too, i might do rain, or beach waves,.
I have the exact same situation. I work long shifts and nights in the ER - intense work and a lot of impressions to deal with on the go - I find it easier to sleep by having a low sound of a documentary about a complex subject in the background. Somehow its comfort I guess. I know I prob will meet some issue when Im older, but I guees new gadgets will be invented and sleep will be revolutionized. The worst and unhealthy thing is to stay awake and have thoughts for hours. Some people say nighttime is for reflection about the day before sleep. I disagree - nighttime should be an escape, relaxing and charging for the next battle.
@@BrentMorris I am interested in these to help prevent me being woken by cats in the house. How good are they at reducing the sounds around you whilst at a volume that wouldn't disturb sleep, would you say?
Ooo that’s a tough question, since everyone’s tolerance for noise is so different, but if you put on something that usually helps you sleep then they do a decent job. They aren’t noise canceling in any way, but the speakers are so soft they really conform to the ears. I use them as more of a way to have my brain focus on the sounds instead of a billion thoughts, so I don’t know how well they’d do as a sound reducer, but hopefully this info helps a little
They probably cheaped out on the bluetooth receiver module. When you are using it, can you hear other sounds from the room as well? Like a not so loud phone alarm? Or perhaps outside noise?
I think you’re correct. That being said I’ve also had worse Bluetooth experiences, so it’s not a deal breaker. I still use this thing every night. You can hear some other sounds. Like I can hear my phone alarm every morning, but farther away sounds get drowned out.
Are the speakers in these good for blocking out noise? My main issue is I need absolute silence (from outside I mean, I can listen to music) to sleep so I wonder if these would help with that?
They’re not really designed for blocking out noise, but by the nature of them being right at your ear they do a decent job of quieting the outside world. But I don’t know how silent you need things since everyone’s sleep needs are so specific to them.
Liking these video for the explanation and humor, it was FUNNY af!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Putting on the mask on while still wearing your hat, BUT THEN!! You double down later and put it on top of the hat 🧢 all nonchalant about it too!! 😂😂😂💀💀 This made my day, keep doing what you’re doing good sir👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾#GOLD
I wanna pull the trigger cause I love listening to ASMR while I sleep.. But the pricing.. I eventually will im just wondering. . How is this gonna pan out. Lol.
I've had 3 $15 Bluetooth sleep masks break on me. I finally picked this one up in the hope that it will be durable. The design is far better than what I had before
Now that you’ve had it for even longer, is the battery still lasting? I bought a cheap one and the battery doesn’t last more than a few months and after an hour a loud voice says low battery which is really annoying.
I'm thinking about getting this but I have to sleep with ear plugs on so I keep my sleep mask volume high enough so I can hear podcast trough the plugs. Can this be set loud enough for that?
It can get really loud, but that would 100% depend on your ear plugs. I’d definitely give it a try though because this thing has been so helpful to me in sleeping better
How is this for front sleepers? What if you don't use a pillow when you're on your front (I move positions a lot) because that would kink your neck back? Would htis be feasible or would the big eye cups be uncomfortable?
I think it would be feasible, but I can’t say for sure since someone’s comfort is incredibly subjective. It’s very soft and does compress, but at the end of the day I can’t say what would be comfortable for you specifically
As a side sleeper myself I can say it’s been excellent. The really great thing for side sleep is being able to adjust the speaker position, so you can make it very comfortable for you. This has honestly been so good for me since I got the face mask.
@@BrentMorris I use a Musicozy one right now so I'm used to my face being directly on the mask with my pillow, but this gives me hope if I decide I can justify to myself spending the cash on the Mantasleep one. It looks so comfy, I just don't want to wake up looking like my wife tried to kung fu fight me in her sleep.
Hi there! How would you compare this to something like the Musicosy sleep headphones which are far far cheaper? Is it worth the extra money (5x the price)?
I like them better than the Musicozy ones. The face mask has better blackout, is more breathable, and the speakers are much easier to adjust. But worth is subjective to everyone. I think they are, but I don’t know if you personally would 😄
@@BrentMorris quite possibly! I've decided to go in the middle and pick up some "sleepphones" with the breeze fabric as I don't really need the blackout functionality, so look forward to seeing how they go once they arrive!
If they put temperature sensors on the temple so the sleep mask would also shine extremely bright light directly into your eyes as your internal temperature rises just before you Wake up, that would be great.
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?
I’d say contact them directly to ask about that, but most independent studies on sleeping with Bluetooth headphones seem to say the effect is negligible

You answered all my questions. Thanks for an excellent review!
Awesome! I’m happy I could help
My wife bought me one of these. It is legitimately incredible.
I use it every single night, it’s been so helpful for me
Thanks for the video. Not much out there yet about this 😊
Happy to help, I ordered these the second they were available because it seemed like exactly what I needed

Nice!
Excellent review man, looking forward to picking one of these up to soon. Keep up the great work
Thank you! I freaking love mine, it’s been so helpful!

Thank you 😊 I appreciate it! My goal has always been to explain and entertain so I’m thrilled with you comment 😁
How do you wash it with all the tech in it? Looks like an awesome sleeping mask just kinda weirded out if I'm unable to wash it
The part that has the tech in it never touches your skin and is attached with Velcro. You just remove that part and wash everything else
Thanks
I wanna pull the trigger cause I love listening to ASMR while I sleep.. But the pricing.. I eventually will im just wondering. . How is this gonna pan out. Lol.
The way I look at it is they were priced like Bose Sleep Buds and I can listen to whatever I want so it was okay by me
I've had 3 $15 Bluetooth sleep masks break on me. I finally picked this one up in the hope that it will be durable. The design is far better than what I had before
I took the leap just hoping it the quality is there. I used affirm to deal the with price pay it off in like a month instead of all at once
@@pittste88hows it going, do you still use it?
Man, I wish I could sleep for several days 😴 great review, I’m going to grab one 👍
I’m glad you liked the review. I’ve really enjoyed mine
Still use it?
@nolphkynicolas5591 Yes! Every single night. 1 Year Review

Now that you’ve had it for even longer, is the battery still lasting? I bought a cheap one and the battery doesn’t last more than a few months and after an hour a loud voice says low battery which is really annoying.
I made a whole 1 Year Review video. The short answer is yes the battery has held up.

When your alarm goes off does it paid to your mask?
If your phone lets alarms come through normal headphones then yes
I'm thinking about getting this but I have to sleep with ear plugs on so I keep my sleep mask volume high enough so I can hear podcast trough the plugs. Can this be set loud enough for that?
It can get really loud, but that would 100% depend on your ear plugs. I’d definitely give it a try though because this thing has been so helpful to me in sleeping better
Can you see the light from the controls while wearing the mask? Ive been wearing my bose cq35 II while sleeping. Not comfortable.
No the light is only on when charging and it’s very dim then. These things are really great at blocking out light
I like to listen to Audible when falling asleep. I like these, but do they bother longer eyelashes? Great video.👍🏿
No they don’t, and I have long eyelashes. The eye cup design they’re currently using is great for keeping eyelashes in the clear
@@BrentMorris, thank you.
@darkmankind anytime
hey man, thanks for review - just ordered these, can you use it to listen to anything? like youtube videos of rain haha
Oh yeah you can! They act just like Bluetooth headphones, which was a big draw for me. Some nights I fall asleep to TH-cam and some nights music.
@@BrentMorristhank you 🙏
@@Rose_19911 anytime!
Are they very adjustable girth-wise? I’ve a small head 😅
Lol yes the Velcro adjustment area is large
@@BrentMorris thanks!
@@ellieisbusy happy to help
How is this for front sleepers? What if you don't use a pillow when you're on your front (I move positions a lot) because that would kink your neck back? Would htis be feasible or would the big eye cups be uncomfortable?

how is it for side sleepers? I never sleep on my back so does it move a lot?
As a side sleeper myself I can say it’s been excellent. The really great thing for side sleep is being able to adjust the speaker position, so you can make it very comfortable for you. This has honestly been so good for me since I got the face mask.
How is the bass on it? I want to try some low binaural sounds, but it seems anything other than in-ear doesnt transfer well.
It’s there but soft. That’s kind of the nature of slim speakers like that though. There’s not enough space to create punchy bass.
Can you detach the audio part and just use as a mask , if needed?
Yes all of the electronics are on a separate piece so that you can wash the face mask, but you could just peel them off for sleeping too if you wanted
So like. I sleep all dumb and sleep on my stomach with my eye against the pillow, will those eye cups completely murder my face as I'm sleeping?
A lot of that will depend on your pillow honestly, but the eye cups are designed on these with a foam outer ring and then a fairly deep cup inside
@@BrentMorris I use a Musicozy one right now so I'm used to my face being directly on the mask with my pillow, but this gives me hope if I decide I can justify to myself spending the cash on the Mantasleep one. It looks so comfy, I just don't want to wake up looking like my wife tried to kung fu fight me in her sleep.
🤣 I don’t think it’ll do that at least
and what about when u sleep on your left or rigjt side?
Totally fine for side sleeping. I have slept on my side in them for well over a year now with no issues
Hi there! How would you compare this to something like the Musicosy sleep headphones which are far far cheaper? Is it worth the extra money (5x the price)?
I like them better than the Musicozy ones. The face mask has better blackout, is more breathable, and the speakers are much easier to adjust. But worth is subjective to everyone. I think they are, but I don’t know if you personally would 😄

for me in actual, the neighour's dog barks all the time
Depending on the dog’s proximity these may work, but you might be better off with earplugs or noise canceling headphones
If they put temperature sensors on the temple so the sleep mask would also shine extremely bright light directly into your eyes as your internal temperature rises just before you Wake up, that would be great.
That would also severely raise the price, but maybe there’s a market for a more expensive version, you should email them 😄
nate bargatze vibes coming off of you
💀 I mean I don’t think I can really argue with you there
Can someone else in the room hear the sound?
Not likely. The speakers are directional and outside of right at your ears they make very little noise
Yes, even on the lowest setting. Sadly I'll be sending mine back for this very reason.
I don’t see how. I can’t even hear it when it’s an inch away from my ears
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?
I do rain sounds or classical music
I want to try it but worried about EMF that close to my brain. I need safety data on that.
I’d say contact them directly to ask about that, but most independent studies on sleeping with Bluetooth headphones seem to say the effect is negligible
