Sangean

The Sangean PS-300 is an ultra-flat pillow speaker designed to slip under your pillow so you can listen privately to music, radio, podcasts, audiobooks, or relaxing sounds as you fall asleep — without wearing headphones or disturbing your partner. It connects to any device with a standard 3.5mm headphone output jack, including smartphones, radios, tablets, MP3 players, and TVs, using a generous 120cm cable that easily reaches a bedside table.

Yes. The PS-300 is specifically engineered with an extra-flat, low-profile speaker chamber that sits unobtrusively beneath your pillow. Most users find it undetectable once the pillow is in place. It can also be positioned inside the pillowcase on top of the pillow for side sleepers who want the speaker closer to the ear. Note that very dense memory foam or latex pillows can significantly muffle the sound, so a standard fibre or down-alternative pillow tends to give the best results.

No — this is precisely what it's designed to prevent. The PS-300 produces sound at a level that is private and personal to the listener, low enough that it won't carry across the bed to a sleeping partner. The in-line volume control lets you fine-tune the sound level easily without reaching for your device, and the optional built-in amplifier gives you a volume boost when you need it — for example, for podcasts, spoken word, or radio — while still keeping audio contained to your side of the bed.

Yes. Unlike many basic pillow speakers, the PS-300 includes a built-in amplifier powered by a single AAA battery (not included). Switching the amplifier on noticeably boosts the volume, which is particularly useful for spoken word content like audiobooks, podcasts, and radio. For quieter listening — such as gentle music or relaxation sounds — the amplifier can be left off to conserve battery life while still delivering clear, comfortable sound.

Sangean pillow speakers are ideal for anyone who likes to listen to audio as they fall asleep but doesn't want to wear earbuds or headphones in bed. They're particularly popular among people who listen to sleep meditations, podcasts, or radio; people with tinnitus who benefit from masking sounds at night; couples where one partner prefers silence; and anyone who finds traditional headphones uncomfortable during sleep. They're a simple, affordable, and effective bedside audio solution.
