I’ve slept soundly, for up to 6 hours!
I bought these due to discomfort with my iPhone earbuds, and I generally sleep with ‘Rain rain’ app…I wanted something that wasn’t so uncomfortable in my ears, and these have 100% delivered in this way - love the feel so much (to the point that I can’t even feel them there!)
My issues though - I tried sleeping with rain rain via Bluetooth, and the batteries died within around 4 hours, so I tried the ‘thunderstorm’ sound via the app in sleep mode…much quieter than what I’m used to, and just a 5 second rerun of sounds, but ‘ok’ due to the external sound blocking…but my earbuds lost all battery in 6 hours!
How do I know? Because I wake when the sound stops. I have suffered insomnia for years and my app (rain rain) helped me sleep. My earphones always gave me discomfort - so I tried these.
For around $200, I’d say that I expect better battery life, if they’re ‘sleep’ earbuds - you need to guarantee that there’s at LEAST 8 hours in sleep mode. There’s not. I don’t care about the responses I’ve seen ‘try sleep mode, you should get 10 hours’…in real life, you’ll never get this.
They’re good, but not great. I appreciate the comfort and ambient sound blocking, but I wake up the second the batteries die (fully charged & in sleep mode), and so in all honesty, I’d have to say - don’t spend $209, it’s maybe worth $60. I can’t get $140 back, but I’ll stick them in my ears to fall asleep, then change over to something less comfortable for the next couple of hours.
Just glad I bought some Bose earphones at the same time to see the night through without having to deal with the uncomfortable Apple earphones and ear pods pro’s!
Halve the price of these, and I’d say they’re 5 stars - or throw in an extra pair (due to crap battery life), totally worth it…as is, good, truly not great.
Can’t recommend to anyone without a reduction in price, or a second pair given for the price…on sleep mode and following all instructions, the battery does not see you through a standard 8 hours.
