For size guide, please click hereI've had 2 pairs of these headphones and on both they suddenly just started turning on and off all the time. Most recently, after only 6 months of having them. I was told both times there is no solution and I just have to buy another pair which I think is really poor given the price point. Really disappointed as I've loved them when working correctly.
First, let's talk about the sound quality, which I found to be very poor and worse than your basic wired version, with painfully shrill and overtuned treble with lots of sibilance and the bass being lacking and actually cracking and popping the speakers when anything with even remotely heavy bass plays.
Next is the Bluetooth connection quality. While it connects well, its range is very poor, topping out at 15 feet, at which point the audio repeatedly and constantly cuts in and out, which is about half the range I get from all my other 5.0 Bluetooth devices.
Finally, the buid quality, which is very poor, the headband itself is a lovely headband that's soft but breathable and doesn't cause excessive heat or sweating during use. But the actual electronics feel like they have been made as cheaply and poorly as possible. You are still using USB micro connections in 2024, which is frankly unacceptable; you use worse quality unbraided cables than your basic, cheaper wired version of your product; you put the connection at the end of the Bluetooth unit rather than the middle, leading to one of the headphones having to kink 180 degrees, creating a stress point and an easy point of failure in the cable. While I understand not wanting to fix the actual headphones in place so you can position them and move them about for comfort, not having some sort of removable fixing for the Bluetooth unit is a huge mistake, with it often sliding down during the night and leading to it being in an uncomftable position. There is also no way to easily see which way to place the headband on the wireless charger, which leads to me having to fiddle with and rotate the band to get it into the correct position every time I want to charge it, which is just an unnecessary inconvenience.
Overall, you have a good idea here at its core, but your build quality and questionable design decisions have basically made your premium version of the product worse than your basic one
I have bought several pairs of Sleep Phones over the years. The wired ones were a waste of money. Neither lasted more than a few months. The Bluetooth ones lasted longer, but the weak point was still the lead connecting the battery to the phones. So far the induction ones are still working but I’ve only had them a few weeks. Working out how to charge them proved a puzzle the first time and after that simply a bit fiddly. I hope that the much higher cost is justified by an increase in longevity. The concept is right, but the product has proven far too disappointing so far. Fingers crossed.
I bought these as I’ve been having trouble sleeping and find that listening to “sleepcasts” is helpful, however they disturb my partner if I have them playing from my phone, and I can’t bear to have things in my ears, especially as I often sleep on my side.
These SleepPhones have been fantastic. They’re actually very comfortable to wear. I sized as per the instructions on the site, which has worked well. I was concerned that they would feel bulky at the back, especially as I wear my hair in a plait for bed, but I haven’t noticed the bulk of the battery pack at all. They also don’t press too firmly on my ears, so I haven’t had any aching.
I’ve found them easy to use and to pair with my phone. And I can now feel for the buttons easily even when wearing them. The charge seems to last a long time. They were also delivered quickly, and in a nice little storage tin.
They’re not 100% “sound tight” and my partner says that he can hear what I’m listening to, but so softly as to not disturb him.
Overall a fantastic product that really does what it reports to! For the improved sleep I’ve had I would definitely say that they’re worth the price!
I am more than happy with my lovely new SleepPhones and the company, I ordered the wrong size headband and the company offers to send me out the correct size free of charge. Also so comfortable and easy to wear.
Measure around the forehead, just above the ears, and around the hair in the back to determine head size. If your measurement falls on a size cut off guideline, we recommend that you order the smaller size as there is a bit of stretch in the fleece material.
Extra Small/Small = 51 - 54 cm (UK Hat Size Up to 6 3/4)
Medium (one size fits most) = 55 - 59 cm (UK Hat Size 6 7/8 - 7 3/8)
Extra Large/Large = 60 - 63 cm (UK Hat Size 7 1/2 and up)
