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.

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.

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.

GBPoor customer service The SleepPhones I received were faulty. I contacted the company well within the 30 day return period but it has taken a long time, with much emailing back and forth, for this company to agree to provide a refund and I am still unsure if any of the postage will be refunded. They seem unfamiliar with basic consumer rights. Avoid.
