Product description
Introducing Bose Sleepbuds II — tiny, comfortable earbuds with sleep technology that’s clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster. They work with the Bose Sleep app to deliver relaxing sounds that help you fall asleep, and use Bose noise-masking technology to cover unwanted nighttime disturbances that may otherwise wake you. So you get your best sleep ever. From wind down to wake up, this is your easy solution to better sleep.
Sleepbuds play content only from the app. Explore the Sound Library’s curated relaxation content — including tranquil tonal environments and sounds from nature and beyond — and Bose-engineered noise-masking sounds designed to cover nighttime disturbances like snoring, outside traffic, and next-door conversation. Download your favorites directly onto the earbuds to customize your nighttime routine. The app also lets you set an alarm only you’ll hear, and access other features including Phone-free Mode, which allows you to program your settings ahead of time so you can leave your phone in another room.
In addition to optimized sleep sounds, Bose noise-masking technology also uses the noise-blocking design of proprietary soft silicone ear tips. A pliable fin fits snugly in the ridge of your ear, while an umbrella shape gently seals off your ear canal to passively block noise. Three sizes are included so you can find a secure, comfortable fit. Sleep on your back or your side, toss and turn, or roll over during the night, Sleepbuds will stay put.
A nickel-metal hydride battery provides up to 10 hours per charge, enough for a full night’s sleep, while the included charging/storage case gives you up to three additional full charges. Experience Sleepbuds for yourself.

User-tested sleep technology
In a Bose-sponsored sleep study by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the UCHealth CARE Innovation Center, Bose sleep technology was clinically proven to help users fall asleep faster. The study also found that all participants believed noise was blocked effectively, like snoring and traffic. In addition, when surveyed, 8 out of 10 participants reported improved overall sleep quality and 76% felt it was easier to stay asleep and all believed noise was blocked effectively.

Sounds to sleep by.
EXPLORE THE BOSE SOUND LIBRARY
Choose from relaxing sounds to lull you to sleep or Bose-engineered noise-masking sounds designed to cover nighttime disturbances.
NOISE MASKING: Sleep sounds work with the noise-blocking design of the eartip, and are optimized to mask nighttime disturbances.
TRANQUILITIES: Relaxing, tonal environments designed to bring peace to your mind and body.
NATURESCAPES: Soothing sounds from nature and beyond transport you to comforting spaces.
Peace and quiet. When you need it most.
Unpredictable changes in sound are what interrupt your sleep. Sleepbuds use noise masking, not noise cancelling, to cover up disturbances by combining a noise-blocking design with optimized noise-masking sounds.
Passive noise blocking: Sleepbuds fit snugly in your ear, while the eartip forms a gentle, comfortable seal for passive sound reduction.
Noise-masking sounds: Bose sounds are optimized to play consistently and at the right frequencies to make unwanted noise less perceptible.

First, the charge on these lasts for a single night sleep. You need to recharge them after that. That means you have to travel with their annoying travel case even for an overnight trip.
Second, they aren't all that comfortable. If you are a side sleeper, it's painful in your ear. They are also warm. Like you feel heat in your ear.
Third, I'd underestimated how annoying it is having to control them through your phone. I could see having to manage them through the phone, but you'd think you could turn on the last sound you selected through your phone by touching something on the earbud.
With these sleep pods, they are essentially the nature sounds alarm clock you see at bed bath and beyond but inside your ears. The ambient noises it created would be perfect for a meditation session. However, when I fell alseep with these on, a few hours later I would have a painful feeling inside my ear near the ear drum where it unfortunately presses against during the night. I tried the different size plugs and played with wedging it at different angles as not to compress. However, in the end no joy. I have to return these back to Bose - which is an amazing company.
I own 2 sets of QC35's and my best hack so far is to have my iPad play the nature sound while I have the QC's keeping my head facing forward. It works 50% of the time if I'm in a loud bedroom but I have to take them off after a while. At $200, they are the most comfortable headphones in the world as long as you replace the ear pads annually, they are awesome.
- The case is made of metal with a matte finish
- The ear tips are super soft and fits in my ear snug. The box comes with 3 sets of different sizes
- The lid has a smooth sliding feel that it's fun to fidget with
- Is charged with USB c port. The case will charge the earbuds even when it's unplugged
- The base is rubber and has great grip that holds the case in place when opening/closing the lid
- Can download the app from the QR code within packaging. The app shows step by step directions in setting it up. It's just an easy, seamless experience right from unboxing
- The app UI is easy to navigate and configure
Overall I'm happy with this purchase and how it has improved my sleep.

But for most of my life I didn't really have problems sleeping, so I wasn't too fussed about missing out on the Sleepbuds.
Then I moved into a new place, which has a street-facing master bedroom that draws traffic noise of about 10 dB more than I'm comfortable with. My sleep quickly deteriorated.
The Sleepbuds II had just come out, so I thought it might finally be time to give them a try.
As the other reviews here suggest, you have to be very comfortable with what you're getting for the money (because you'll spend a pretty penny) – these buds are meant for sleeping. They don't do music, audiobooks or podcasts, and the batteries won't last for more than a healthy sleep session. They work exclusively with the Bose Sleep app.
But it's what they do that sets them apart. They're comfortable in your ears – much more so than, say, AirPods or any other in-ear buds – and you can just about get away with lying the side of your head on a pillow while wearing them (I actually find it a bit tricky to pluck them out in the morning). They play a very limited array of continuous sounds that don't actively cancel noise but *mask* it.
After a bit of tweaking, I landed on "warm white noise" played at about 50% volume – and man, does that work for me. Any immediately noticeable traffic noise is masked by it, and off I'll go.
It's still early days and I'm sure there's much more testing to come – but so far they work like a dream for me. Zero issues with battery life (I don't think I've taken them lower than 20-25% yet) and zero issues with keeping them in for the whole night.
Bose has a 90-day no-questions-asked return scheme (might be worth checking whether it applies to third-party retailer purchases), so you won't have much to lose if you want to give them a try. And if they work for you, you'll quickly find they're worth much more.

ABER!
Die Kopfhörer können keine Audioquellen streamen sondern nur die Töne aus der Bose App wiedergeben.
Für mich leider nicht das, was ich wollte.
Wieso kann man nirgendwo Kopfhörer kaufen, die so klein sind wie diese Bose und 2-3 Stunden Audio streamen können? - traurig.
By the Way die Kopfhörer brauchen 6 Stunden für eine volle Aufladung und halten dann circa 6 Stunden im Betrieb. Ich finde das sollte man auch wissen.
Das Ladecase ist sehr hochwertig, ein Verbesserungsvorschlag dennoch, wenn man das Case aufmacht, leuchten die LEDs einem quasi ins Gesicht, es wäre mMn besser wenn sie das Case indirekt beleuchten würden, dann könnte man die Sleepbuds im dunkeln sehen und wäre nicht "geblendet".
![](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20210922235253/https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png)
Was BOSE jetzt allerdings mit der 2. Gen abgeliefert hat, ist nahezu perfektes Kino. Akkulaufzeit und -Ladung funktionieren einwandfrei, der Klang wurde d e u t l i c h verbessert und auch das nervige Kissengeräusch hat nun endlich ein Ende gefunden. Dazu wurden die Form, die Ladeschale und die App inkl. Tonbibliothek massiv verbessert. Danke BOSE!
Im Endeffekt muss jeder für sich herausfinden, ob die Sleepbuds hilfreich für den eigenen Schlaf sind. Ich kann für mich nur sagen: Sie wirken Wunder und sind mir ihr Geld absolut wert. Einzig und allein an der Tonbibliothek - für die ich im Übrigen auch jederzeit zahlen würde - muss noch gearbeitet werden. Schön wären szenische Geräuschkulissen (Nachtzug, Großraumbüro, Bibliothek usw.) und einzelne ASMR-Sounds (Bleistiftzeichnung u.Ä.). Am allergeilsten wäre natürlich eine appübegreifende Bluetooth-Konnektivität, das wird allerdings aufgrund der kleinen Akkus sicherlich nicht möglich sein. Außerdem weiß ich nicht, wie schädlich tiefe Frequenzen für die Membrane sind, wenn Disco-Ronny dann seinen 90er Techno abspielen muss.
PS: Aus Respekt vor dem Hersteller und seiner hohen Ingenieurskunst habe ich nicht am Rückgabeprogramm teilgenommen, sondern brav die alten und völlig defekten Buds benutzt, bis die neuen in den Startlöchern standen.
![](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20210922235253/https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/bec0ca56-5ff8-41d0-be2c-25a231f49588._CR0,0,375,375_SX48_.jpg)
And whilst they do a pretty good job, like all good things there are some major caveats. These aren't noise cancelling as I believed. They just have sound tracks designed to mask the noises around you. While they do a good job of masking those sounds it does mean that you always have to listen to something. You can't just pop them in and expect near silence like you can with some of their noise cancelling headphones.
Second caveat is that unless you have some seriously deep, soft pillows these are remarkably uncomfortable after a night's sleep. Every morning I've woken up with really sore ears.
All told they work pretty well but I definitely wouldn't pay over 200 quid for them again.
![](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20210922235253/https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png)
I was thinking a lot about this product as it's extremely expensive even compared to a high end earbuds, that can play the music you like as well. But can you put a price on good sleep? Let's figure it out.
When it has arrived, I was impressed. But like I couldn't find a product that felt more premium. I couldn't wait until sleep, so tried, and it was comfortable, and reduced (not blocked) the noise around me, so I put high hopes. Had a difficult time choosing the right tune though, as most of them are pretty much the same, and most of them are annoying instead of calming, but found one finally.
Tried the first night, and it was comfortable, and haven't noticed the train, so earned what I wanted. However, after 3-4 hours, wake up just to turn it off.
You can't judge something after first use, so used for a few more nights, same happened, just lasted for less and less each night. At the last night, turned off before felt asleep, and that's when I returned it.
Does it mean you shouldn't try it? Definitely not. Sleeping is a thing that is different for anyone, and because Bose, and Amazon is very generous, you can try it without worrying that you couldn't return it. Here are my points that you may consider:
- it is comfortable (for side/stomach sleeping as well)
- it reduces noise effectively, but there's no magic, the tunes do it that can be annoying because they are repeated sounds
- it is light, but tight, so you don't have to worry about they are falling out
- it is very expensive, and can't listen to your music on it - however, this is just the price of making them so light, and small to be comfortable
I really appreciate Bose's effort to help on a very specific user group, there must be a lot of development, and research going on to help us, that's why no one can blame them because of the price.
If it gets more attention, more development, and research, I can see it becoming not just a help for people with sleeping problems, but improving sleep for people who slept well originally as well.
Decide based on the above if you give it a try, but I would definitely recommend at least trying it, there's nothing to lose, but a lot to gain.
