SleepPhones Wireless Headband Sleep Headphones With Bluetooth

Unfortunately, I have to give a low review due to this product being VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. The main problem is the bluetooth module digs into the back of my head. The main reason I bought SleepPhones was to wear them to SLEEP. I cannot as they are so uncomfortable. When lying down, trying to sleep with my head on the side, the headphone part is also uncomfortable, pushing into the side of my head.

I looked up the sizing guide before purchasing, which advises if your size falls on a cut off, then the official recommendation is to order the smaller option. I did this, I ordered the Small (previously Extra Small). The website advises this estimate is for Petite Women, which I am, so I thought it should be fine. However I think the headband being such a snug fit makes the module dig into my head even more. I have stretched the headband out somewhat, but, even being a snug fit, it still slips around an awful lot.

I bought this product knowing full well there were no refunds available. The website states this is for hygiene and safety considerations. I can only assume they mean that it is unhygienic to resell the headband after it has been worn. This is reasonable.

However, there really should be a partial refund on offer, once the electronic component is retuned. The electronics that I’ve paid for (the headphones, wires, bluetooth module, USB charging cord etc) should be able to be returned, as most electronics are. This must constitute the bulk of the cost I have paid for, by comparison the headband would not cost much at all. Thus I would very much like the opportunity to return the electronic components and receive a partial refund.

On the upside, I can say that the product arrived quickly (within 2 days of ordering), the sound quality is fine, perhaps not loud enough though, and the Bluetooth pairing was an easy, simple process.

And yet, I am a dissatisfied, unhappy customer. $159.99 is a great deal of money to spend on a product that I cannot use. After reading the reviews, I took the gamble and had great hopes that I’d be happy with this product. Sadly, I am one of the people who have found that this product does not live up to my expectations at all. For those of us that find ourselves in this situation we should have the option on a partial refund.

Thanks.

Finally, a set of headphones I can sleep comfortably in. The speakers and bluetooth unit are quite flat and the headband is snug but not tight, doubles as an eyemask too. No cords means I can rest easy knowing I'm not going to choke or burn on cables. (Posted on 10/08/2018)

Love them great product I have used them for quick because I had little bit of headache and I was asleep very happy just got them today and I woke up after my power nap and the headache was very happy customer I sleep on my side and do not hurt. You're ears like normal headphones hurt my ears so that I searched for something that wouldn't hurt my ears while sleep then I did some research and found sleep solutions I was little nervous about spending 159 but I'm glad I did awesome product guys very customer so I'll sleep 8 hour tonight very happy 5 stars guys (Posted on 27/04/2018)

I've been a light sleeper for years, any noise, like my wife's snoring, keeps me awake. Since developing Parkinson's it only got worse. I was lucky to get 60-90 mins sleep a night for the last few years, even in another room. Found this and now I'm getting between 6 and 7 hours at a time. Makes a massive difference to how I feel. Bluetooth is the way to go - no leads. Unless you've got a a large diameter head go for the XS size, stays snug all night no matter how much I roll around. Plenty of free sound apps available. For me just a "Brown noise" works perfectly. Very Highly recommended. (Posted on 25/04/2018)

After doing shift work over the decades I have always had trouble sleeping. I am now getting deep Rem sleep and dreaming for min 5-6hrs. Getting better quality sleep. Bluetooth technology us excellent and no wires or plugs in the ears. I sincerely recommend you try thus. The cost is not too expensive either. Fantastic product and service. AAA++ (Posted on 9/04/2018)

The idea is fantastic, the speakers and bluetooth unit are small and fairly flat, making it comfortable to sleep in. Like some other users found, however, the band slips around in bed. I use bobby pins to hold it in place, but that doesn't help if you don't have enough hair! Still, I liked it enough to buy one for each of my adult children, who unfortunately inherited sleep habits from me. (Posted on 30/01/2018)

I listen to ASMR videos every night before bed and these are perfect, they are flat and comfortable, easy to fall asleep with and no cords to choke you. They take a little getting used to because if you want the headphones on your ears, the band needs to touch your forehead but other than that they are great. (Posted on 30/01/2018)

Works well, comfortable to sleep on. (Posted on 21/12/2017)

The product is not as expected.
The speakers are not flat as in the description, so if you sleep on side, it will hurt your ears ends up make you harder to fall to sleep.
The design is not convenient, you have to plug in and out to take the bluetooth unit out to charge the battery every 2 nights.
The sound quality is very average level not premium as advertised.
Last one, be aware that it is not refundable product !

Delivery time was fantastic but unfortunately they don't stay in place on my head and keep slipping off so I'm having to spend time trying to find it in bed and put it back on again

Really great product, works well. Only real criticisms are the battery issues: the battery life is too short (would be nice to last two nights through, not just one), it's a pain sifting out the device to recharge it, and you can't use the product while it's being charged as the speakers share the same outlet as the recharger. Aside from those issues, the product concept has been a great solution for me. (Posted on 12/09/2017)

I love falling asleep listening to meditation music. These are perfect for that. They are really comfortable. (Posted on 19/05/2017)

Found it very difficult to find earbuds/phones to fit small ears. Resulted in falling asleep then waking with pain in ears. SleepPhones eliminate this problem. Confortable to wear and sleep in. Great sound quality. The wireless version also means no more waking up with cords wrapped around my neck! (Posted on 18/04/2017)

Quick delivery, work well (Posted on 5/04/2017)

I am so happy that I am finally able to listen to music without wires obstructing my sleep (I toss a lot in bed so it gets annoying). Truly
amazing product. The sound quality's better than I expected and the breeze fabric is comfortable to sleep in. (Posted on 4/04/2017)

I've been relying on earplugs or earphones for years to block out partners snoring. Both were uncomfortable, fall out, cause irritation and worse still getting tangled up in the cord.

These are perfect. I can even get up during the night without having to take them off and I use them during the day when I'm working too.

Very comfortable. I just have to remember to charge them. (Posted on 3/04/2017)

Was excited to get these as I'm a terrible sleeper in silence. 1 x speaker is cutting in out / battery doesn't appear to charge too well . I will be in touch to arrange a new pair to sent out and hopefully be able to leave a revised review

Finally a comfortable headphones that I can sleep with and stay asleep all night with out any pain or discomfort. (Posted on 16/01/2017)

Has worked well for me. I had to put some stitches into the headband to stop the speakers moving. (Posted on 30/12/2016)

Never review products but these sleephones deserve it.

ASMR helped my insomnia but getting tangled in headphones every night was a big price to pay. Not any more! Amazing quality, long lasting battery and so comfortable! I bought xs and it doubles as an eye mask.

Quality sleep has literally changed my life. (Posted on 23/11/2016)

When I lost my original SleepPhones, I quickly ordered two more so I would never be without them! (Posted on 23/10/2016)

As someone who listens to audiobooks to fall asleep, this product is fantastic. I bought the bluetooth version to stop me getting tangled in wires and its comfortable enough to sleep in all night. The sound quality is great. They don't claim to be noise-cancelling and you can still hear ambient noise (depending on how loud you have the volume, I guess). (Posted on 21/09/2016)

I heard about this via the 'Sleep With Me' podcast and was a bit skeptical about whether the sound quality would be any good for speakers so small, but it really is great. It's very easy to set up and connect to the phone via Bluetooth, and I don't feel the speakers at all when my head is on the pillow. Only issue is that the one size is bigger that I'd thought, and so the headband is hard to keep in place; I'm going to need to alter it somehow. I wish I'd read this thread first! Agree with the other posters that it's probably better to get a size down if you're at the lower end of the one size measurement. (Posted on 28/07/2016)

Did not really know what I was buying, and I was pleasantly surprised! Very comfy to wear, easy to set up and use, I also bought a set for my husband, he is also happy. Have not dealt with a person, however the email updates were great. Only minor thing is that I ordered the extra small, and it's still a bit big, so some nights they double as an eye mask. ;) (Posted on 2/07/2016)

Very comfy and can get just the right volume, as others have said it could use a timer/auto off function as the batteries wear down rather quickly, but i just plug it into the charger about an hour before bed and its all good. (Posted on 26/06/2016)

I have the Bluetooth SleepPhones and they work a treat. Customer service for purchase and delivery was excellent! Well Done Sleep Solutions! (Posted on 20/06/2016)

Unfortunately one headphone stopped working in under 2 weeks. Really disappointed in lack of quality

After much research and reading lots of reviews I purchased the Bluetooth Breeze XS SleepPhones. A very easy process with Sleep Solutions and no shipping cost with the Bluetooth is appreciated. The cost of this product probably includes the patent as I have not come across anything else like it. I also purchased a new iPhone 6 for the music. It takes a bit of effort to position the SleepPhones in the correct position for your ears within the headband. Noticed a bit of wiring noise initially but then made sure the R was on the right and the L on the left. Yes, a bit fiddly to position them correctly but no further problems. Experimenting with the Bluetooth device on forehead as suggested at present which makes it easier to adjust the volume. Had a bit of trouble getting the volume low enough but can move the headband off the ears a little to achieve this. Initial instructions for pairing with iPhone quite easy, but took SleepPhones to an Apple Workshop as had never used Bluetooth previously. Apple consultant informed needed to turn on the Bluetooth device on SleepPhones each time. I think Bluetooth with no cords is the only way to go. I don't see how normal earphones and cords could possibly work when you are tossing and turning trying to sleep. The breeze headband in XS is just right for me. I paid attention to all the comments about the fleece being hot and getting the size right. I need to sleep with a ceiling fan on lowest speed all night anyway due to the climate where I live. Getting the right kind of music/spa music/meditation on the iPhone and learning how to loop it to play for an extended period is another experiment. I think sleep phones are a good product and worth the investment however there are many causes of insomnia and you have to be prepared to experiment. There are no guarantees with anything as we are all different. Insomnia is a very frustrating problem. Patience, perseverance and experimentation is what is required. (Posted on 7/04/2016)

The sound quality is great, the speakers can be moved to fit your ears. The battery is fairly small, minimal discomfort wearing these all night.
Easy to pair to my phone,and blocked out sounds around me.
Only downside is it does not have auto off function. Even when audio is finished the power stays on and requires charging after every use. (Posted on 4/04/2016)

I like to lie down in the afternoon and to simply "chill' and take stock for a busy evening... this headband with blue tooth doubles as eye shades as well. 2 for the price of one and very comfortable. fabulous for my 20 to 30 minute cat nap zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (Posted on 1/04/2016)

I got these hoping to block out my partners snoring, but even if I play 'snore eraser' they don't do much. I also find that as a side sleeper they tend to cut of circulation to my ear that is on the lower side, no matter which pillow I use. (Posted on 16/03/2016)

Work well for me and very happy with customer service and delivery. Wearing the battery pack at the forehead seems like a cool idea as no discomfort then at all .... slightly hot to wear overnight, but as it's 28o+ at the moment maybe that will pass. (Posted on 13/03/2016)

After Internet research I decided on this product as the best option available for earphones to sleep in. They are not cheap especially for a product that is not returnable but I decided to purchase to listen to audiobooks or relaxation music in bed. I measured my head and at 54 cm was at the top end of the XS. Received them on Thursday (ordered Monday) and size is perfect with some stretch left. If you are at the bottom end of the "One Size" range I would consider the XS for a snug fit. Fabric is soft and silky. Easy to follow instructions- charged battery and paired with phone with no problems. Easy to adjust speaker position. Sound quality is equivalent to standard earphones. Happy I purchased and fast free shipping was a bonus. (Posted on 3/03/2016)

Very happy with them, comfortable and help me to sleep. A few easy instructions for Bluetooth connection and set up would help for those not tech savvy. (Posted on 19/02/2016)

I got these for my dad and he absolutely loves them.... (Posted on 2/01/2016)

I bought small. Don't have the issues with not staying on head. Work as advertised. A bit hot in summer, but one can't have everything. Good service from the company and quick delivery. (Posted on 25/12/2015)

I needed headphones to play 'SnoreEraser' to mask my partners snoring but all the ones I had tried hurt my ears, fell out or the cords were unbearable. A headband was what I needed and the bluetooth option stopped me strangling myself while I slept. The material is breathable (so no sweaty ears), comfortable and people who complain about lack of instructions should just ask a kid how bluetooth works.
Thanks for a good product at a price thats worth every cent for a good nights sleep.
Breeze SleepPhones headband is great!

Bought them for my husband who has always had trouble falling asleep.after he puts them on he's out within 5 mins. He said they were one of the best gift he has ever received. Bluetooth, speakers all work perfectly. Highly recommend them :)) (Posted on 12/11/2015)

I really thought these would be the answer to my prayers for a good night's sleep. However I have not been able to use them at all, which is a big waste of $149.

1. The instructions that came with them are useless. They do not detail how to connect by bluetooth. I had to dig far and wide online to find a set of instructions on how to connect to my phone.

2. The most disappointing part is that they just do not stay on my head. Not even to get to sleep. If I position them such that they won't just slide off my hair, then the speakers are not aligned on my ears. If I position them such that the speakers are over my ears, then the band just slides right off my head, over my face. Maybe the band is too large, although I ordered the 'one size fits most' and I have a large head as evidenced by my hat size. They should provide the ability to purchase different size bands at a reasonable price. The band itself must cost peanuts to make.

Overall I am very disappointed and stung by the price tag. I have not even used them once.

Quick note: I thought the company Sleep Solutions itself was fantastic to deal with. I loved all the updates on where my order was, and how fast it shipped and got to me. (Posted on 23/09/2015)

I am happy with my Bluetooth sleepphones. They are comfortable and it is really nice not to be attached to something by a cord. I don't even notice the battery pack as I wear it on my forehead, thanks to the advice of another reviewer. The only thing I find a little frustrating is adjusting the headphones to sit over my ears after taking the battery pack out to charge. A challenge. Otherwise ... so far, so good. (Posted on 22/09/2015)

I cannot believe these actually work as well as they do!
I've had unbelievable insomnia for most of my life, so even when I do finally manage to fall asleep, I wake up again within 90 minutes (normal circadian sleep cycle) but then I can't fall back asleep again so I spend the next several hours getting more and more annoyed with the slightest noise or movement from my poor husband or anything else outside. I've tried EVEYTHING over the years to knock myself out with no success, UNTIL NOW.
With the SleepPhones I find I can fall asleep quicker and even though I'm still waking up throughout the night, it's no where near as often as I used to and I almost immediately fall back asleep.
After the first few nights of using, I actually found myself driving to work in a good mood and thought to myself "Huh! this is what it must feel like for a normal person in the morning that has had a good night's sleep!".
Very happy!! Yes they do move a bit, but nothing a tiny adjustment can't fix, and yes you do need to remember to charge them after every use. But overall, they have changed my life and I no longer want to strangle my husband by the morning, so he seems quite happy too. (Posted on 21/09/2015)

These work well for me. Sound is great using my white noise app. Fast to charge, and battery lasts a good 12 hours. My only gripe is that they move around on my head too much during the night. I find myself adjusting them quite a bit. I bought the 'one size fits most' size, maybe should have bought the smaller size. I recommend measuring your head before buying! I would recommend these though. (Posted on 29/08/2015)

This product is Fantastic, no cords comfortable works really well. Very happy. (Posted on 14/08/2015)

Very good. I only use occasionally and they are very comfortable. Nothing to complain about. (Posted on 5/08/2015)

You guys rock!! Thanks for the prompt delivery of the SleepPhones, 5STAR:)) (Posted on 17/07/2015)

I had one little issue it was solved straight away with no questions. I love it. Wear it every night. I found that it fits my sleeping style better by having the control panel at the front. Recommend it to everyone. (Posted on 15/07/2015)

They sound fine and are comfortable enough. Every time I wake up they have disappeared off my head somewhere. Don't stay on very well. Maybe it's just me. (Posted on 29/06/2015)

Unit arrived very quickly, so much so it was unexpected so soon.

Plug from speakers to bluetooth (in headset) can be slightly poor, causing signal break down. A bit of fidling remedied problem. (Posted on 13/05/2015)

Fantastic but I do agree that could be better padded. Love the Bluetooth and certainly has made for better sleeping. Efficient process from ordering to receiving. Thank you. (Posted on 28/04/2015)

This is my second sleepPhone with bluetooth. My first one died when the usb connector broke. With some hesitation I bought the latest version and it appears that the bluetooth unit is slightly different - I hope this is sturdier.
I love the sleep phone at night and like others find it very easy to go to sleep with. It is important to ensure you have it positioned well at night as sometimes I wake up in the night to find it has moved slightly away from the ears so can't be heard.
I found the SleepPhones don't annoy my partner except when I use the bluetooth button unit to adjust volume. The clicking sound is audible and sometimes can disturb your partner but once set this is not an issue.
My only regret about the bluetooth unit is that there is no way to skip tracks or go back a track. I would love this as a feature to be added in future.
Charging the unit is not as easy as you would like and involves fishing around in the headband and removing the unit enough to have access to the micro-usb port. Perhaps a pouch situated at the opening that is designed to hope the bluetooth unit snugly with the charging port near the opening would make it easier.
All in all a great concept and the best out there as a wireless solution but there is some room for small improvements. (Posted on 22/04/2015)

Finally a pair of headphones I can sleep with.
They are so comfortable, especially on my side.
The soft music drowns out all other noises and I just drift off to sleep. The blue tooth option is really good as I can leave my phone in another room and still have my music. I wake up refreshed and feel really good. Thank you for making such a great product. (Posted on 12/04/2015)

The phones are comfortable and great for listening to sleep tunes whilst in bed. Could be a little more padding where the battery/Bluetooth is located.

Sleep Solutions is a very good company to deal with. Their processing and postage was extremely fast.
