Ozlo Sleepbuds - Sleep Earbuds for Side Sleepers, Noise Masking Technology, 10-Hour Sleep Streaming, Snore Blocking Sounds, Ultra-Comfortable In-Ear Design

I bought these as a replacement for my Bose Sleepbuds, which lasted around two years before developing technical issues. Overall, they feel very similar, with a few improvements. Yes, they are expensive, but they are the only sleep earbuds that really work for me. They are incredibly comfortable, unlike many comparable products where the earpieces feel too bulky and uncomfortable, especially for side sleeping. I can wear these all night without any issues. The sounds do a great job of masking snoring, which is the main reason I use them, and they perform very well in that regard. The app is straightforward and easy to use, and connectivity has been solid. One improvement I really like is the ability to stream audio from other sources, which was not possible with the Bose Sleepbuds. I also like that once your streaming finishes, the earbuds automatically revert back to your chosen sleep sound. As an Android user, the sleep biometrics feature is not currently working and just says “coming soon,” but that is not something I bought them for anyway. I do hope many of the tech issues that affected the Bose version have been sorted with these. Overall, if you are looking for comfortable sleep earbuds that effectively mask noise, these are excellent.

I really wanted to love the Ozlo Sleepbuds. The idea of tiny headphones playing sleep sounds seemed perfect. Unfortunately, they failed to deliver on the most important promise: blocking out noise. Despite trying every ear tip size included, I could easily hear conversations happening across the room - zero noise cancellation. Forget hoping to drown out a snoring partner or street noise. While the sound quality of the sleep sounds themselves was okay, and I didn’t have any Bluetooth connection issues, those positives are completely overshadowed by the fact that they just don't work as noise-blocking headphones. And to add insult to injury, it consistently took a frustrating 8 minutes to transfer a new sleep sound to the buds. That's a long time when you're trying to wind down for the night! Finally, they were just uncomfortable to sleep with. Save your money and look for a different solution. These are a disappointment.

I’m surprised by how good these are. I bought them in the hope they’d be comfortable headphones for a side sleeper. I hadn’t realised, nor thought I cared, that they would sense when you fall asleep and swap the podcast to white noise. Firstly, they genuinely are comfortable. They occasionally but very rarely fall out. The sound is low but that’s what you want when sleeping. They have to remain within reach of both the charging case and the phone from which you’re streaming, but that’s ok. You have to be precise in putting the headphones in the case to make sure they’re connected and thus charge. But otherwise they really are faultless. The other day the whole house was wide awake because of a massive dramatic thunderstorm and yet I slept on through because of the adaptive white noise. They really are brilliant.

OK, I have to dock a star for price, which feels a bit too much like it's a known issue, and what price do we put on a good night's sleep, right? In that respect then, £300 seems reasonable. Maybe. I can't honestly fault anything functionally speaking. They're the softest earphones I've ever worn, an you barely notice when side sleeping, which I do all the time. You can play any audio you like from your phone, use the app to act as a sound machine, use an alarm function, sleep timer - everything you'd expect from sleep focussed buds, but something that's often missed. Sound quality-wise, your music probably won't sound as good as a pair of audiophile (or even just regular) headphones, but that is subjective and it's not the USP for these earbuds anyway - even if the price alone competes with some of the very best you can buy for in-ears, in the regular consumer sector at least. So they don't sound perfect, you may have to work on the fit over a few attempts, but when you get it right, I'm fairly confident you will have passive noise cancellation and sound in your ears from headphones you (and sleep partners, where applicable) can barely detect. That said then, the fit is everything, and I'm sure there will be exceptions, but you at least have 3 options and therefore a range of combinations to suit most ears. I do feel these are quiet, but that's also probably the point to aid restful sleep and not invite bed dancing. I will say that they run all night without issue, and I typically get a good 6 to 8 hours. The case acting as a signal booster and connection bridge is one of the reason the buds are so small - they don't have batteries in them, so it's a must to use the case after every sleep and keep the case charged every few days. Top tip: if you find the buds stay connected in the case, it may be that the case needs charging as the shutoff function seems to need the storage unit to be charged for some reason. That has caught me out a few times. TL;DR - extremely comfortable when they fit, great sound and passive noise isolation, but undeniably expensive - although your opinion on that may vary. I don't regret my purchase one bit.

I've used QuietOn buds for several years, and found them to be incredibly effective when they worked, but after having another bud fail, I decided to look for an alternative. Unlike QuietOn's the Ozlo Sleep Buds do not use Active Noise Cancelling, but instead use background sounds to mask external noise. I was a little skeptical about this approach at first, but it seems in practice the sound masking works as well as the QuietOn's ANC. I have the Ozlo SleepBuds set to play a relaxing stream sound around 1 hour after I put them in as I listen to a hypnosis recording prior to sleep. This allows me to drift off to sleep with the hypnosis recording, and then Ozlo kicks in and neutralises any external sounds (cat zoomies at 3AM, partner snoring, etc!) The Ozlo sleep buds are very comfortable, and stay in all night, even with me tossing and turning some nights. I can comfortably lie on my side and don't feel any discomfort. My only gripe with the Ozlo sleep buds is sometimes one of the buds does not charge, despite being in the charging case all day. This is VERY frustrating when I get into bed to find one bud only charged 4%. It's happening more often now as well, so I now check about an hour or so before bed to make sure both buds are fully charged.

Fabulous! Having tried several buds over the years - all with all usual failings (incl.small piece broke off & had to be removed at hospital), these are a game changer. I have CFS & chronic pain with a snoring partner, so I used to get 2-5hrs a night, but I’m now sleeping longer & better with the deep sleep we need to rejuvenate. It has improved my quality of life - no joke & no, I’m not being paid for this review & bought them myself etc. I took ages deciding to purchase these, as they are not cheap, but the generous variety of sounds & they even sense & actually kick in once I’m asleep changing from my audiobook themselves - incredible & worth every penny. Also super comfortable as a side sleeper. Anyone complaining about the ANC not working hasn’t read blurb. It’s adaptive noise control, NOT Cancellation, which works v differently to pressure created by what we know in music buds. Blurb explains what this is & why. Pls read it & know it works as they claim.

Two stars because the do technically exist, and if you ask them nicely they may play a sound! I bought these sleep buds after reading the mixed but mostly positive reviews. Armed with a heavy dose of optimism and equal measures of sleep deprived despair I eagerly awaited their arrival. Like a kid at Christmas, I couldn’t wait to try them out… I even charged the fully, read the instructions (no seriously I did!) and even watched the YouTube videos. But despite my new found education and tech wizardry, these stylish little creatures would not connect to my phone. After a mini puzzle involving sliding the case open, connecting, forgetting device, reset, slide closed, open, closed, open….. until, out of obvious pity, the Bluetooth gods helped me out. The fit seemed great at first, I tried a couple of different sizes and got one that was comfortable when lying straight like a corpse. But as humans tend to do, I dared to move onto my side and when pitted against a memory foam pillow, these little rebels were like a stone in your shoe on a long walk… Now, for those of us who sleep next to mobile generators in human form, snoring was my main masking aim. At first, I thought these may actually work… but one long snore blast later, and masking sounds acted like they were a warm up to the snoring as a vip guest, the masking may as well have handed him a microphone! Over all, they’re expensive, they feel like quality items, seem functionally superior but in reality, if you’re buying them to survive a night of snoring… don’t waste your money! buy earplugs, a tent, a divorce… these aren’t the hero’s your looking for!

Worked great for the first year, then started declining. Volume getting quieter and quieter, and left earbud failing. Been trying to get through to support to assist with a warranty claim and they’ve stopped replying. Going to have to go through trading standards next to get this resolved and buy from a more reputable brand in future.

Bought these as a replacement for my Böse Sleepbuds which I loved but had problems with that couldn’t be fixed. These are perfect - every bit as good as the Böse were but with none of the battery problems. As a bonus, they can be used as ’normal’ earbuds to listen to anything, then when that ends- switch automatically to the sleep sounds.

I’m the worst sleeper! I hated to go to bed at night because knew I would be miserable.I toss and turn all night and my husbands gets super early, and I just wake up with him making me exhausted all day long. I saw ad for sleep earbuds and purchased and returned several pairs from Amazon. I was sleeping in my apple ear pods trying to block out any noise I could but of course that wasn’t working either, they were so uncomfortable for side sleepers. I then reluctantly bought the Ozlo sleep buds and was very taken back by the price. I actually got $50 off.($299) because of a promotion. I figured I would return these as soon as I got them if they were uncomfortable like the previous pairs I purchased. It took me about three nights to get the fit in my ear, and to get them paired and to get them disconnected from the Bluetooth. Some of the annoying things that were happening just takes some patience on how to use them. I did connect with Customer Service and I did not appreciate the long list of things they tried to get me to do with a brand new pair of sleep earbuds that were connected to Bluetooth and up-to-date. However, I will say that for the first time in years, I am now sleeping soundly and not waking up to any noises. I set my alarm now because I have to, or I will sleep right through ‘till 7:30 AM! I am a side sleeper, and every once in a while, I get a tiny bit of discomfort, but most of the time with the sound blocking noises I sleep soundly. I wake up refreshed and in no pain. It has been a relief. I am fearful that they will break and I will be back to square one but so far so good! I will recommend that you are ready to go to sleep at night open the app on your phone, open your Ozlo case, connect the earbuds to your ears close the case go to sleep! In the morning open the app Connect the earbuds back into the Ozlo case make sure they are connected correctly,(the app shows you that they are connected correctly) and shut the case. The Bluetooth will then turn off if you don’t do the steps correctly, it will cause them to not work correctly. This took me three days to figure out sorry :-) but when I do these steps, everything is so nice. I go to sleep, listening to an audiobook, when I fall asleep, the earbuds go to sleep masking sounds automatically, my audiobook, pauses, and I am in a deep sleep until morning for the first time in years! This is a sincere true review, and I am still mad about the price, but I’m grateful for the small size of this noise blocking sleep earbud that actually works.

As someone who sleeps with air buds in my ears every night, I've been on the quest for great sleep buds for years. I've been switching between my apple air pods which hurt my ears often, and a raft of different cheaper sleep buds from Amazon and other online stores. I was reluctant to drop $399 on these Ozlo sleepbuds, but after ready positive review after positive review I bit the bullet. Only only two days in, but I can confirm that they are the best sleep buds I've owned (and I've owned many) - and the first that actually last all night long with battery life! They're comfortable for side sleeping and really do cut out the outside world. So far they are a total win.

Very comfortable, great sleep aids, block out most external noise

Finally! I get insomnia frequently so I listen to sleep stories to help relax me but usually 15 minutes in, my headphones or earbuds just start hurting so I need to shut it down. The headband ones are hot and annoying on the head, not to mention the sound is horrid and you risk an uncertified battery on both sides of your head…enter OZLO, the sleep buds. Expensive? Hell yes, but soooo comfortable (fyi this is Bose tech). The sound is good and the sound that plays after your personal audiobook is done etc is adjusted separately so it can be lower or higher than the sound from your personal programs. I really don’t feel them in my ear. I highly recommend.
