How does the Wireless model differ from the Effortless™?
The only difference is how they charge!
With the SleepPhones® Wireless, you would remove the Bluetooth® enabled module from the headband to charge.
With the SleepPhones® Effortless™, the Bluetooth® enabled module charges through the fabric via the charging base (no plugging required). It uses wireless induction charging.

Charging your SleepPhones couldn't be easier thanks to the Effortless induction charger:
Simply drape your SleepPhones over the charger with the module facing down. You'll enjoy up to 10 hours of play time on a 3 hour charge.

Due to health and safety considerations we can not accept returns or exchanges on this product unless the product is faulty. Please select your size carefully by measuring your head size. However if you do need a larger or smaller size we do sell replacement headbands:
The Bluetooth/Battery Module included with this product is a consumable item. The battery life and unit will degrade over time-based on usage and may require regular replacement over the life of your SleepPhones. You can purchase the Replacement SleepPhones Bluetooth Battery Module here.
If you are on the borderline between the 2 sizes we suggest you choose the smaller size as there is a fair amount of give/stretch in the headbands.
Effortless Charging Instructions
1.
Assemble the charging mechanism (micro-USB into Effortless™ base, USB into wall adapter) and plug the USB adapter into a wall outlet
2.
Lay your Effortless™ headband on the base with the module inside, buttons facing down, and the plugs in opposite directions
3.
Your Effortless™ is charged when the light on the base is solid green (it will take approximately 4 hours to fully charge)
4.
For clarity, this is what it should look like without the headband
Effortless™ LEDs
Solid:
Powered on, no device connected

5.
Note: Inserting the micro-USB into the base upside down could damage it and prevent it from charging. Use only the cable & wall adapter provided
Pairing Instructions
Remove the Bluetooth module from the hook & loop opening at the back of the headband.
Hold down the square button for 5 seconds until you hear ascending tones through the speakers followed by a series of double beeps & a fast blinking red light. Must be 3 ft (1m) of your device.
On your device, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Look for 'ACOUSTICSHEEP' & select to pair. Pairing may take up to 30 seconds.
Care Instructions
The headbands are machine washable. This is important to do from time to time to keep it clean and prevent stretching.
Remove the speakers through the hook and loop opening located in the back of the headband before washing.
Machine wash warm. Tumble dry medium. Do not iron, bleach, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softener which reduces wicking.
Insert the speakers when the band is dry (right speaker has red stitching and the left speaker has green stitching, gray side should be against your ears) then insert the gray square before closing the hook and loop
Lastly, adjust to fit.
Plug Instructions
Please be careful when plugging the MicroUSB charging cable and speakers into the Bluetooth module. You will notice the plugs on the charging cable and speakers have a wider part with two little prongs sticking out of the surface, this is the top. The top should be facing you when plugging into the module.
The top of the module will have the buttons and the word "AcousticSheep" visible. The buttons and "AcousticSheep" should be facing you when plugging in the charging cable and speakers. Failure to do so could damage the inside of the module causing charging issues or sound issues.
Tips on how to prolong the life of the sleep phones
Grasp and pull on the plug and not the cord.
Allow the headband to fully dry before placing components back inside.
Do not keep components in a wet, oily, or dirty headband.
Avoid excessive bending near the speaker plug area.
Keep the wires free of tangles or knots.

Product is as pictured...not really appropriate for tinnitus suffers and buried within the fine print is the fact that they don't help you sleep as they are not noise cancelling.

The main complaint I have is I have to replace them repeatedly as either the unit fails entirely or it stops charging. I have returned two Bluetooth modules for those reasons. Even the ones that work have charging issues, it will stop charging when only half full and I have to remove them and place them back on the charging pad, which sometimes fixes the issue. They do hurt a bit if you lie on them all night, but it’s much more comfortable than buds. If they didn’t have continual charging issues I’d give them a four star. They don’t drown out snoring, they are good for tinnitus and light background noise.

Love my earphones - still figuring out the controls, but can’t talk highly enough about the service from Sleep Solutions, absolutely first class!

With some adjustments this is one of the best things that has ever happened to me!
Got these to block the sound of snoring and it does it perfectly for me.
The headband was too tight despite following the guide. I was at the upper end of the “small” measurement, so I had to make my own headband as replacement. It also has a tendency to slip to my face so i have another soft headband i wear underneath. The app I am using is called Relax….
Anyhow, the best thing about this is the very flat speakers and very accessible controls.
If not for the things i needed to improvise i would have given it a 5.

I started with the usb rechargeable sleep phone and they were great but a bit inconvenient to recharge so I got the wireless induction charging model and it is fantastic. Great sound, no uncomfortable buds in the ears (my air pod pros really irritate my ears and only last a few hours). My sleep phones last all night and I haven’t had them go flat yet. For me the headband would be better with a strap to stop the front of the band slipping down over my eyes but that’s not a real issue. Highly recommended.

Its a great idea but in reality doesn't work as well as it should noting the price. The induction Charging pad doesn't work as well as it should. The sweet spot for charging is small and you have to nudge it a tiny bit to get it to work properly. Temperamental and fiddly is what i would say. To get it to work it's best you really need to remove the unit from the headband in order to get the best contact (which defeats the propose). The other issue is the ear pieces and trying to get them to remain in a good location. All in all a very expensive bit of gear that does not live up to the expectations of the price.

Pros:
- Bluetooth connection works like a charm
- Wireless charging is sweet
- Much more comfortable than other headphones
Cons:
- As others have mentioned, the headphones can slip around a bit. This isn't too bad it just means you have to adjust every now and then
- Sometimes you have to shift the volume control around a bit too to reach the buttons and fit it onto the charger.
Don't buy the Effortless model (wireless charging)
IMO Save your money
If you are wanting to invest in SleepPhones, buy the $159.95 model. The wireless charging can be fiddly and not worth the extra $70.
Re. the unit. When you get it set up comfortably it is great.
It can be frustrating trying to line up the speakers and adjusting the strap (not a great start to getting to sleep).
As the control unit sits on your forehead, I find it uncomfortable and often go to sleep with the Sleepphones with the unit hanging out of the strap/sleeve. The way the unit sits on your forehead causes the little cords of the speakers to get caught under it, which is uncomfortable.
If I could send this back I would and I would not recommend to anyone. Yes they are better than wearing ear buds to sleep, but the build quality is not worth the money and if anything they feel cheap

So far so good ! A couple of little things that are worth a mention.
Sits a bit low on head. It slips down sometimes during the night whilst sleeping despite it being the smallest size.
Glad I got the breathable fabric .
Sound is great.
Speakers do move a little but despite this they are easy to move back into place.
I have been using my headband for about 2 weeks now. I am very happy with the product and what I purchased it for. Small issue is, for the speakers to go over my ears the headband must go over my eyes. I am not bothered by this as I like the eye mask effect. But this should be taken into account when designing he headband.

Sleep Solutions - you can move the position of the speakers within the headband - which should avoid this issue.

Good product for someone like me who is quite deaf and has to remove hearing aids at night.
I enjoy the easy charging. Very prompt delivery. Glad that on and off/volume panel was moveable to the side of my temple. I found this panel uncomfortable and inaccessible behind my neck and can pause the sound when moving or sleeping on your back. The speakers constantly move out of place during the night, but I plan to put a few stitches around them to hopefully solve this problem. I've only had the SleepPhones for a couple of weeks and still find that the ear that I've been sleeping on is sore upon wakening. I don't know whether the speakers will become more malleable over time or if it's just a matter of my ears getting used to something new. I particularly appreciate that the SleepPhones don't disconnect when visiting the bathroom at night. Too early yet to be giving a longer term review.

I don't like this product. It is overpriced and it doesn't charge properly

Sleep Solutions - it takes a little while to learn how to position the battery/bluetooth unit correctly on the charging base - see the instructions on this page - but then you should find it works well.

Overall I love the sound this is great. But I find them a little to hard to charge, I have to remove the complete internal unit in order to sit it on the charging dock, and then put it back inside the headband.

Firstly, I suffer with tinnitus and the stillness of night can be nightmarish at times.
I have had the SleepPhones for one month now and overall they get two thumbs up.
The fit is great, very comfortable to wear and sleep with.
The volume and sound quality is very good whether it is an audible book or my favourite Tuvan throat singing.
The speakers can become "mobile" during the night - a couple of stiches in each corner fixed that.
The wi-fi signal is very particular, it doesn't want to connect if other wireless headphones are connected.
The only real issue has been the charger plug stopped working at the two week mark, I contacted Sleep Solutions - they called me back and informed me that they haven't had that issue before. I thought they would replace the faulty unit - but no such luck.
So, are they worth $249.90? Maybe..
The unit arrived within the Express Post deadline and apart from the minor quality and wi-fi niggles, it is a resounding yes, if your looking for a company that displays robust customer service, well maybe not.
I'm of the opinion that if any company has the opportunity to directly communicate with a customer, and they blow it, they have lost a golden opportunity to really promote the company and build a lasting relationship. Maybe that's just me showing my age.

Finally I can go to sleep when I want. These are enough to block out the annoying stair noise, doors banging etc.. I have a pain condition, yet I can sleep on them even with sensitivities. I wake in the night, take them off and go back to sleep. Very happy with them. They also stretch to the bathroom so I keep the sounds on whilst moving around at night.

I am very happy with my headphones, however I find the speakers a little hard on my ear when I’m sleeping on my side (I solved this by pushing that side up off my ear and just listening with the top ear). The charger can also be a bit of a pain to line up and has to be checked several times to make sure it’s still lines up properly. Once it is charging it is very quick though. Overall fabulous and solves the problem of one of us needing noise and the other needing silence!

I have used ear buds in bed for years. I have trained myself to not roll over too much to avoid getting tangled up in the wires. This headband avoids all that hassle. Can really relax and fall asleep now a lot sooner!

Does as intended and great for watching videos/listening to music without waking partner
The headphones are great, the wireless charging is a big plus for ease of use, although washing the headband still is an issue (taking out/putting in the speakers and battery module is a pain). I find that the headband ends up around my neck most mornings and sometimes the buttons get hidden by the brand tag. Overall, pretty pleased with the purchase. Would have been better if it was a little cheaper

Solved my interrupted sleeping when combined with white noise. Blocks out snoring too. Only downside is I’m up to my 4th battery over 2 - 3 years

Headband is I'll fitting, you need to put it over your eyes for it to stay put with the speaker over your ears. Please, for the price it's so not worth it. Its worth $70...

Getting the headphones to sit correctly on the wireless charging unit is really fiddly, even when carefully following the instructions. I bought the non-fleece headband and bought the fleece headband separately. The fleece band stays in place much better and is more comfortable. The other one slips against my skin. I followed the instructions for sizing when purchasing. I could with the fleece band the speakers also held their place better, although they do still move a bit. I intend putting a stitch to keep them in place, something easy to remove when washing the band. The Bluetooth was easy to connect, and the sound quality is good, better than I expected. The Bluetooth range is also better than expected. The service and prompt delivery from Sleep Solutions was terrific.

These are great headphones to wear in bed if you want to listen audiobooks, ambient sounds or something of that nature. They play music just fine but they're not elite, high-performance, high-end speakers and your expectations should be in line with that. The headband can get a little warm over time or on hot nights but in general it's fine. Once you get the hang of lining up the charger it is easy enough and the lasts for several hours of use. Overall, they do precisely what I expected and I'm happy.

I’m loving these headphones. I find them really comfortable to wear all night. The battery lasts for so long and the easy charging makes everything so simple. They help me get a great night sleep.

Snoring spouses beware! Does not mask snoring without playing music
These were advertised as blocking out ambient noise for snoring spouses for them to get a better night's sleep. They don't mask any noise or block out anything unless you have music or sounds playing. I'm not one to fall asleep with music but tried it and all very well finally falling asleep, but unless you have them playing all night then the snoring will just wake you up. I thought they would at least muffle it. I didn't realise you can't get any form of refund due to hygiene - I thought they would just deduct the cost of the headband (not the speakers, charger, wireless set up) but no. I feel like this should have been a highlighted point when purchasing. As I now have $229 sleep phones that don't do anything.

I've been sleeping alternatively with ear plugs or earphones but always found them uncomfortable and eventual have to pull them out in the night.
I found these sleep phones quite comfortable. After 2 weeks of using them, I'm really used to them now and can't sleep without.
The headband is a bit big even though I follow the measurement. I think a smaller size will stop the speakers moving around to much.

I have insomnia and these headphone made it that much easier to fall asleep in comfort, wake up hours later with no discomfort at all
Started recently using on walks etc and soooooo good
(Posted on

I bought these with the fleece band as well as as the original band. The fleece band is super comfy even as a side sleeper. The original band is not as comfortable, but would be good for back sleepers. Also, if someone was planning on using these to drown out a partners snoring, note that these are not noise cancelling. Power lasts all night. Overall I really like this product and I would recommend these for anyone who listens to sleeping apps to help with insomnia.

Years ago I bought the old version of sleep phones and I loved them. My daughter kept breaking her corded headphones in her sleep so I bought her some effortless sleepphones. They were so easy to charge that when my old sleepphones stopped working I was determined to get my own. I love these sleepphones but the easy charging is awesome. Five stars all the way!

Now that I have become used to the headband, I love it. Fortunately, I sleep on a memory foam pillow, so the headphones don't press into my ears. They do need adjusting for the perfect position each night, as they move about within the headband quite easily. The only thing I regret is that I used the little sticky gel disk to stick the charger (I have the "Effortless" induction charge model) onto the wall in my bedroom, and so now, of course, I can't take it travelling with me.

I found them uncomfortable as I am a side sleeper. Adjstment of the speakers to make it more comfortable meant very low volume even after maxing our both the speaker and my phone volume buttons so pointless really. I also struggled to keep the headband on despite using hair puns to clip it in place. Request for refund was denied due to ‘hygiene’ so I suggested deducting the charge for a replacement headband and refunding the rest of the product. This was denied and it was suggested I gift them to a friend or family member, lol. Expensive mistake for me

The bluetooth works flawlessly and the convenience of vol buttons on the head band is also really good, no wires means you don't have to take them off to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. That said, I find the speaker pressing on my ear when I sleep on my side hurts after a few hours. They are fine when lying on your back. Also the speakers and the bluetooth module move a round a bit and require constant adjustment each night before wearing. Overall an excellent product that I use ever night

I’ve been trying out the Bluetooth charging headband for several weeks now. I had tried a cheap knock off first and Sleep Solutions is certainly superior. The breeze band is fairly comfortable and I opted for the small size as I find they stretch over time. Haven’t had too much trouble with the speakers moving and do not find them uncomfortable and I am very fussy. I operate them reasonably loud as the competing noise is substantial and it does mostly cover the noise and at the very least allow me to focus my attention elsewhere instead of thinking of violent solutions. I like being able to link to either sounds or music whatever I choose. The recharge is relatively easy. I think however the module needs to go in the front as it is not really working for me at the back of the headband. Overall, expensive for what it is but what price sleep.

Good product. A few improvements would make it great.
Overall I’m somewhat pleased with my headphones. They do help to mask small noises that would otherwise have disturbed my sleep. They dont mask louder sounds like a dog barking or loud snoring. It’s nice to be able to listen to a fan sound without actually having a fan on all the time. However, they can be a little uncomfortable, I’m a side sleeper and can feel the speaker pressing into my ears. It’s not unbearable but it can be annoying. They can slide around a bit too inside the band so it’s not always pressed against your ear, I don’t move around much in my sleep and still experience this issue occasionally. The battery didn’t last long on the first set I purchased, in the beginning it stayed on for the duration of the night. After six months it wasn’t lasting as long. So I purchased another set as a backup. I’ve also had issues with the charging pad indicating the headphones are fully charged when they aren’t on a few occasions. But even with these issues, I still use it nearly every night so the company are onto something. A few slight adjustments could make a good product great.

I was really looking forward to receiving my new headphones, the delivery actually came early which I was pleased about, they were easy to operate, charge and connect to bluetooth, that's where the enjoyment ends, I bought the recommended size but find after an hour or two they get quite uncomfortable and end up giving me a headache they are not noise cancelling so unless you have them turned up quite loud you can still hear other sounds like a partner's snoring, the controls are located at the back of the headband so lying on your back actually pauses the sound, they are designed so you can move the speakers over your ears easily, this is both a blessing and a curse as they tend to move out of place if you move in your sleep as I do, I wouldn't say they're a rip off but I definitely don't think they're worth what I paid for them, in fact I'm quite dissatisfied.
