GBI have owned these for over a year now & they're great I have owned these for over a year now. They are incredible. Battery life lasts all through the night, easily. They are comfortable. There are no wires tethering you to your phone. They are durable - cheaper alternatives, both wired and bluetooth, have invariably failed within a month or two. The components (Each speaker, main module) are replaceable should something break. Charging is easy. I cannot state enough how well designed a product this is and the difference it has made in helping me get to sleep.

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.

GBNot worth the money Sleepphones are significantly more expensive than other similar products on the market, but over all I'm not sure it's worth paying out. The battery pack is a very bulky unit that sits at the back of your head and digs in. Other models which are 80% cheaper have a smaller and more compact unit that sits at the front of the headband, and this aspect is far superior than anything sleepphones are currently producing. The headphones themselves are undoubtedly slimmer than anything else I have seen, but they move frequently within the fabric and have to be repositioned every evening. Overall, at around the £100, I'd expect better design. It seems like a good idea, but greed has perhaps gotten in the way of good design. I wouldn't buy again or recommend, unless the price point came down by at least 60%.

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.
