I've been looking for earbuds for sleeping and listening to audio books before bed.
I don't think such as thing exists sadly. I had high hopes fir UE fits, but while the fit is great, they stick out too much for side sleeping.
They also had an annoying firmware issue where tapping didn't work until they quietly rolled out a fix and I happened to see it months later when I googled the issue again.
- pedalpete 5y agoThis is what kokoon is focused on, and bose also makes sleep earbuds. We're not in the sleep earbuds space, but at https://soundmind.co https://soundmind.co we're making an eeg headband with bone conduction sound to improve sleep performance via auditory stimulation. Auditory stim doesn't help you fall asleep, so we let you listen to whatever you want as you fall asleep, when we detect you've fallen asleep, we stop whatever you were listening to, and switch on our stim.
- mkoryak 5y agoThat sounds great, too bad I can't give you money, but I gave you my email. I don't really care about stim, but pausing my book after I fall asleep is HUGE. Right now i use a sleep timer which is okay, but if the book is good and stops before I fall asleep, I need to really wake up and set a new timer. If I set a longer timer, there is a chance I will fall asleep early and have a hard time finding my spot later
- pedalpete 5y agoThanks. We discussed just having a version of our product that doesn't include the stim, and perhaps we'll do that one day, but we need to be tracking in order to know when to turn off anyway. We'll see..
- mkoryak 5y agothe audiobook usecase is so important to me, that ill give you hundreds of dollars for the "stim" part that I dont really need :)
