haven't tried 'sleep buds' in particular, but had tried a different product ($399!) and... the 'white noise' sound they had had some noticeable ... frequency that my brain locked in to. After about 3 days it was impossible to use them - my brain actively stayed awake with them in, trying to find the sounds it 'knew' were there.
Switched to bose QC20 and... they're generally great ... except... don't sleep in them! They'll break. Often. I've switched to cheap earbuds from the dollar store tied to a white noise app. The $5 earbuds may break every 1-3 months, I just get more.
The 'sleep buds' look nice, but would be hard to justify another ~$300 at this point.
- Reason077 6y agoI've had Sony WH-1000XM3's for the past year and I sleep with them all the time. I probably roll over and crush them pretty regularly, but they seem very robust. They're very comfortable to wear for long periods (if you don't roll over on to your side, that is). Excellent noise cancellation too. I did have older/cheaper Sony ANC headphones previously which broke at the hinges, but these seem unbreakable (touch wood).
- mgkimsal 6y agowow - glad that works for you! I love my Bose, but can't sleep in them. The ear piece inevitably 'cracks'; just a hairline crack turns the ANC in to an ear-piercing squeal. :/
