GBI would recommend a pass The sound is good, but overall the design is poor. The headphones move around inside the headband quite easily and are off the ears in little time if you move while trying to sleep. The battery pack is clumsy and also moves around inside the headband and puts pressure into the back of head or side of head as it moves if you change positions while sleeping. The lightweight band is quite warm and uncomfortable across the forehead… if you don’t like socks when you sleep, you won’t like this product. I had not the highest expectations, and sadly not even those were met. This is my first review of anything on line. Wait til something better comes out.

AUPerfect if you have insomnia I’ve had the ‘effortless’ version for over a year. The ‘effortless' charging really is easy. I’ve tried a number of other solutions but the sleepphones were the most comfortable and have little or no sound leakage (important if you have a significant other in the bed with you). The bluetooth works every time, unlike my many other finicky bluetooth devices. I still have some insomnia but I don’t fear it anymore, I can just tune into some yoga nidra or meditation app and all is well.

GBnice idea, but stil painful These are a nice idea, but can cause pain. Yes, they may be the slimmest earpieces available, but they are still a hard plastic disc around 22mm diameter by 2mm thick. It's solid with a fabric covering, so the hard disc still presses against your ear. I understand these are probably piezo speakers and thus need to be encased by plastic, but honestly for me the discomfort can make them unwearable. I've switched back to my £10 pendant earphones.

AUComfortable but short life Sleepphones work well for a short period of time and are very comfortable. However, the speakers fail frequently (I have had to replace them twice over the last year, and over the last 3 years, have had 4 speaker failures) and the battery life decays over time- my 1.5 year old wireless module battery life has decayed to ~7 hours From fully charged to flat.

AUOnly worked for a year The headband style sleepphones are really great if you are a side sleeper. I found them very comfortable although every time I put the headband on I have to push the speakers around in the fabric for a while to get them to sit in the right place. They are not tethered in any way within the headband. I have had no trouble with bluetooth pairing or recharging them. The reason I am giving them a two star review is that after about a year of use they now produce various buzzes, whines, and hums through the speakers making them useless. This is not acceptable for a product that is priced as though it is a premium product. I have now purchased a similar headband from another company which has cost about a quarter of what I paid for these and works just the same.
