Ozlo Sleepbuds® | Comfortable Side Sleeper Headphones | Up to 10 Hours of Bluetooth LE Streaming | Science-Backed Sleep Sounds | Snore Blocking Comfortable Earbuds

I am a pretty light sleeper. I have four children, ages 9-17, and sometimes they stay up late, sometimes they wander into my room to get something or other late at night, sometimes my husband snores or coughs, :) and sometimes we have a train that goes by the house at night. Just typical life stuff, but I crack my eyelid for a second when I hear things, and obviously that's pulling me out of good sleep. I used to turn on the fan in my bathroom, hoping to drown out some of the noise. I also got a white noise maker to try to drown things out even more. I liked having those things, but I was still being woken up. These sleepbuds are a life saver for blocking all those little noises that would normally interrupt my sleep (even if just briefly). First, they are very comfortable. The medium size fits my ear very well. You need to twist it back into your ear for the little wing tip to fit snugly into the groove of your ear. Once you've got them in, there is no risk of them falling out. I am a side sleeper and 95% of the night I sleep on only my right side, so I usually just put the left ear in, and my right ear is pressed against the pillow. The sounds in the app are very soothing. My favorite right now is Crimson Cloak, which has a very nice even tone in the middle range. It's perfect white noise. I've also slept with the crackling fire one, and the raindrops one - and both are also soothing. But, I go back to the simple white noise options most often. There are not very many sleep sounds in the Ozlo app, only about ten (I'd love if there were more options), but I had no trouble finding one I like. Plus, I have a subscription to Headspace and I'm able to use these sleepbuds with their night sounds if I want. One thing I like about the sounds in the app is that they don't overwhelm. It doesn't feel like anything is blasting in your ear. The sound almost feels "far away" like you're hearing it from outside a window. This is not a defect of the earbuds, because I can use the buds when listening to other things on my phone and it sounds great. I think it is a feature of the sounds within the app. They don't feel overwhelming, and I have no trouble falling right to sleep. My husband thinks I must be getting into a pretty deep sleep when I wear them, because he says I make noises in my sleep when I'm really out :) and I've been doing that ever since wearing these. I dream often, so maybe that's why?? Every morning my husband is asking, "Did you hear me cough? Did you hear me get up in the night? Did you hear the dog bark?" and whenever I answer "no" he is super impressed. I sleep about 7-8 hours a night and the battery always lasts through the night. But, they do have to go back in the case to charge every day. One night I put one of the earbuds back in the case flipped 180, and so it didn't charge, and that night it did not have enough battery to use it. Connecting them up to my phone was easy. They walk you through how to do it in the app. It took about 30 minutes for the updates to download and then it was ready to go. They auto connect via bluetooth when I open the case. But, one odd thing is that to disconnect them I have to put them back in the case, close the lid, and then turn off my bluetooth for a second so they disconnect. I'm hoping that is something that can be fixed, so they disconnect automatically when I put them back in the case in the morning. My husband keeps talking about wanting to try them, but I'm reluctant to not have them for a night while he tries them out :). I guess I'll just have to get him his own pair!

I find it relaxing to listen to audiobooks/podcasts while falling asleep. After using regular earbuds for this for years, I decided to splurge on myself and get a dedicated sleepbud-type product. I picked the Ozlo sleepbuds expecting a premium product experience for the $300 price point. The reality is they are a fussy, buggy product that is (to be fair) quite decent when it works and is awful when it doesn't. I would return these if I wasn't past the return window on Amazon. Here are more detailed pros/cons I have found after using them for 4 months: Pros: - The fit and comfort level is quite good. You can sleep on your side while they are in. - The battery life is good enough to get through a night of sleep on a charge. Cons: - They often don't connect properly to my phone, so I have to repeat specific steps to get them working. Put them both in the case, ensure they are seated properly, open the app, open the case lid, then wait for them to connect in the app before I can take them out and use them. Not a huge deal but again, its fussy. - The sleepbuds must be kept close to the case (like 10 feet), or they will disconnect, forcing you to potentially repeat all the connection steps above if they bug out. So you can't walk out of a room without the case unless you're willing to risk disconnecting them. - The case must be kept charged, in addition to the sleepbuds. If the case has no charge, then the sleepbuds don't work. Maybe that's obvious to some people, but it is an entire additional device & battery to manage. - The case design, while clever, has a very flimsy hinge. It's not the type of case you can throw in a backpack full of gear and expect to survive. I don't have any faith it would survive even a short drop. Given how critical the case is to the device operation, this is doubly concerning. - There are random and intermittent audio quality issues even when the devices are well-charge and located close; pops and audio sources cutting in/out briefly. - After ~3 months of use, my left sleepbud developed an issue where it plays at less than half the volume of the right sleepbud. I can't hear anything from it unless the volume on my phone is maxed out. Emailing tech support got me a list of basic troubleshooting steps which I followed but did not resolve the issue. They have failed to respond to my request for what next to try (3 days and counting...). [update 4/8: It took support 7 days to respond to my email. By this time I had reset the sleepbuds using the 'pinhole' reset button on the case and the left earbud audio was restored. Email support had never suggested this as a step to try, not sure why...I had to figure it out from reading other people's issues.]

This is actually the second set of Ozlo Sleepbuds that I've owned. And I owned a pair of Bose Sleepbuds before that. I loved them before the added the sleep tracking feature and the Sleepbuds are more valuable with the tracking. The sound quality is not as good as my AirPods, but I don't expect them to be. I can lay comfortably on my side and they last all night. As with any product that is used every day, there is some maintenance. If you let wax build up on the contacts in the case, you are going to have problems; but cleaning with q-tips and rubbing alcohol is straight forward. The sleep sounds included are quite good; but Calm and Moongate have good sleep content worth exploring as well. I can't claim all my sleep problems have disappeared; but my sleep is significantly better. The noise cancellation works quite well.

I've been using these earbuds since the first week of November, 2024 and they really do help me fall asleep and stay asleep. Once I settled on the best fitting ear bud tips, they were pretty comfortable and I can sleep in any position without really even noticing that they're in my ears. There is still a tad bit of ear fatigue in the morning, but it subsides quickly. The various Sleep Sounds are pretty good for the most part. I'm particularly fond of the Rain, Crimson Cloak, & Fireplace sleep sounds. The others are okay, but I can't bring myself to try the Babbling Brook one, because I irrationally fear it will make me pee myself in my sleep.. My favorite feature of these buds is the Alarm. Before, I would just use my phone's alarm, but I would need 4-5 separate alarms that would go off at different times before I would wake up. My wife was not a fan of this, since she wakes up an hour after I do. Now that I am using the alarm that's built into the Ozlo app, I only need 2 alarms to wake up. I'm sure that my wife much prefers this setup. The alarm choices are also quite pleasant. They're not harsh, so they don't jolt you awake. Instead, they gently wake you up, which is nice. Now for cons: - First, and foremost, they're expensive. $300 is steep for any set of earbuds. - I exclusively use these for the Sleep Sounds & I don't stream anything from my phone. Because of this(and another issue mention below), I only use these in "Battery Saver" mode, which turns off Bluetooth after 10 minutes. This greatly increases both the battery life of the sleep buds over night, but also the battery life of the case itself. The downside to this mode is that once the Bluetooth turns off, the only way to reconnect the buds is to put them back into the case. This is pretty annoying if you're 30 minutes into laying in bed and decide that you want to change to a different Sleep Sound. - Connecting to the buds in the app seems to take 30-45 seconds, even though they connect to my phone within just a few seconds. When I slide the case open, only a few seconds go by before the Bluetooth connection icon appears on my phones Notification Bar, and I'm able to listened to whatever Sleep Sound that I have selected right then. Now if I want to get into the app to change settings, the app seems to take 30-45 seconds to connect to the buds. - I wish there was a earbud tip that combined the actual tip size of the Medium, but the "Finger"(the piece that holds it into your inner ear) size of the Large. Both features on each size get bigger/smaller accordingly, but if the combination that I mentioned existed, that would be perfect for my ears. - I wish there were a few more Sleep Sounds to choose from. The ones I mentioned are my favorites(even though the Fireplace one is noticeably repetitive), but it would be nice to have a bit more variety. - After the first week, or so, of getting these, I noticed that the buds would cut out for a couple seconds a few times a night, which was jarring. This is the main reason that I switched to the Battery Saver mode, which solved the issue. - The sleep tracking feature, aka "My Sleep - Sleep Data", has been "Coming Soon" for month now.. EDIT: It seems that the case is unable to charge the earbuds while the case is plugged in and changing, or there is at least a bug that makes it seem that way. Twice now I've went to use the buds, only for one of them to die within a few minutes. Both times happened right after unplugging the case from the charger that I also use for my phone.

I got these headphones just a few days ago so my review is based on only a few days of usage and I will update the review once I have had more time to use them. However, so far they are looking pretty solid -- I was a little scared from reading other reviews where people had lots of issues while setting them up. Maybe those issues have been fixed in the recent versions of these devices. App installation, pairing, firmware updates, adding sleep sounds, setting up alarms, charging, etc. everything worked without a hitch. My favorite part so far is that Ozlo does not force you to create an account with them in order to use the sleepbuds. Too many devices now-a-days refuse to work without creating an account first. With Ozlo Sleepbuds, this is completely optional and you can use them indefinitely without creating another account that exposes you to potential privacy issues. Let us hope that Ozlo does not change this in the future. The headphones are very comfortable for me to wear while sleeping and are great at noise cancellation. I also really like the alarm feature (the phone's built-in alarms do not work with the headphones and I think I know why). The only annoyance so far has been that I have to leave the headphones in the charging case in order for the android app to connect to them. In other words, I have the tendency to take them out of the case, put them, and expect them to be able to connect to the app automatically since they have already been paired. This is how all other Bluetooth headphones work. Alas, this does not work with the sleepbuds. So then I remember that they need to be in the case to connect to the app and have to take them off again. I am guessing I will get used to it over time.

UPDATE! Soundcore has released the A30 Sleep earbuds. 1000% IMPROVEMENT over the A20's and NO comparison to the Ozlo's. So impressed with the Soundcore's I BOUGHT 2 PAIRS (one to keep at home and one for travel). Stunning sound signature, total comfort for side sleeping, ANC + now PHONE CALL CALL CAPABLE!!!! This is a NO BRAINER! ------------ What a LETDOWN. Aaah the anticipation. Premium packaging. Nice charge case (not the best, but "okay"). Then tried them on. At first I thought WOW. Could these be "IT"?? Then turned on and streamed some television. Oh oh. Went to a higher quality music app and streamed again. OH OH. Didn't take long to figure out why Bose abandoned and discontinued this product. For these guys to market this, and at an ever higher price point as the new and improved "Bose" alternative Sleep solution is simply astonishing. There is ZERO difference in sound quality compared to the Soundcore A20s at half the price, and I'd venture to say there are many other even cheaper options with similar sound. There is NO comparison to ANY Bose product I've ever used. If you NEED HiFi premium sound these are a BIG NO. The product did accomplish ONE thing. The ability to lie on your side without ANYTHING pressing against your ear. I'd give them 10/10 on that. But that's ALL folks. The app is suboptimal. Sleep sounds library is very deficient compared to the numerous apps available with large ranges of sleep sounds, binaural beats, noise colors, etc. For me, I need to be able to answer phone during sleep if get emergency calls. So....NO mic here. You have to end up using phone to answer calls, and the phone's mic. IF the sound signature was there, as excepted from a product coming from "Bose" engineers, at this price point, I'd say OK. I'll keep. I'm perplexed at the numerous stellar reviews, and could only explain by people getting blinded by what these do vs. what they don't. I guess for most the sound quality expectations fall way short of what mine is. In my case I will watch a movie, or tv, or listen to music before bed, and then gradually fall asleep. Before sleep I do NOT want suboptimal sound. It actually angers me. I need that premium immersion. Based on that I really should give this product a 2 star. But their effort to create something you can actually sleep with gave them an extra star. And BTW, the comfort is NOT 100%. It is an IN YOUR EAR product. There is moisture, and some itching (a lot in my case) and I was majorly relieved to take out of my ears after a few hours. I will stick to my Bose Open Ear Ultra's. You can actually sleep on your side with them and there is NO obstruction of ear canal. And the sound is astounding. I'm also very leery of noise canceling for sleep due to situational awareness issues and safety. Not a good idea in general. Sorry Ozlo. This is a NO GO for me. RETURNED PROMPTLY.

I was an avid user of sleep buds by Bose, but little did I know, they were discontinued. I panicked when my buds died, but luckily, I saw these available and decided to give them a try. They were quite expensive, which I was apprehensive about, but my quality of sleep is worth the investment. My husband snores, badly. It interrupts my sleep AND his sleep because I'm constantly having to wake him up to turn over. On top of that, I'm a very light sleeper. First of all, I've been using these for about a year now, and I'm loving them. The battery life is sufficient, and the manual states that leaving them plugged in will not harm the case battery, which is also nice. So it sits on my bedside plugged in at all times. I've never had the earbuds die during the night. Just make sure you double check that both lights are blinking when you place the buds back into the case and you'll be good to go. They fit comfortably in my ear. The only problem I've had with it is that sometimes, if my head is positioned a certain way on my pillow when lying on my side, it cancels out the sound. I assume it's because there's too much pressure. That drives me crazy sometimes. I really love the option to be able to watch videos and hear the sound. This was not something the Bose sleepbuds offered. I doubt that this is what it was intended for, but I like to watch a few videos before going to sleep. I just set it to "When I Fall Asleep" which typically gives me about 30 minutes before the white noise sounds begin. It's my signal to go to bed :) There's a really nice selection of sounds to choose from as well. I personally like Rainfall, Crimson Cloak, and Warm Glow, they feel the most "white-noisey" to me. You can adjust the volume based on how you like it. When I am alone, I keep the volume lower, enough so that I can hear if something/someone is near me. But with a snoring husband next to me, I keep it at medium volume, which is plenty. These sleepbuds have given me restful sleep, something I've lacked for so long. I honestly can't imagine not having them. I hope they are never discontinued! They're superior to the Bose sleepbuds by far.

Had them less than 24 hours and I already know … they are going back. Bottom line: Don’t waste your time and money with these. Go for a cheap, ~35-ish pair and get about the same performance with better battery life and a better charging case. Or - if you only care about noise blockage and not streaming or sleep sounds, get the wax ear plugs ($15 for 10 reusable pairs) and sleep sleep sleep away in silence, even on an airplane. I read the reviews of Ozlo and decided to try them anyway, even with the mixed sentiments. I am an experienced user of sleep buds and ear plugs due to years of travel, noise sensitivity, and a snoring spouse. These absolutely are not worth the money. The flags arose even before sleeping with them. Red flag #1: Trying to download the update. They were connected to my phone but the app didn’t recognize that and wouldn’t install the update. Tried over several hours and this morning. No dice. Red flag #2: They don’t charge evenly. Not sure how or why, but after several hours in the case, one was 100% and one was 3%. As another reviewer said, the case looks and feels nice but is impractical and, I think, very sensitive to perfect positioning. If the case is anywhere but on a flat surface, I fear it won’t work properly. Not good if you travel. Red flag #3: The fit isn’t snug enough to block sound. Nuff said about that. Also, one came out of my ear while sleeping and I had to look for it. You don’t want that on a plane or in a hotel room. For fun, at the same time, I purchased a $35 pair to evaluate them side by side. I am keeping those. They are slightly bigger but still comfortable and, for the money, seem to do just as well. They also have a cool feature where you click four times and it turns them to sleep mode so that you don’t press buttons via the pillow while you sleep. They give you the audible that they are in sleep mode. Great. I also now have the Soundcore A30s and those are also far better than the Oslo’s. If Beats Fit Pro were smaller and had a feature to go to a similar sleep mode, they would be fabulous sleepers for home. I also have the Philips Kokoon. I would recommend these over the Ozlo, even though their sound quality isn’t the greatest. The best thing about these is that they connect quickly and easily, and the left and right are held together by a wire that goes behind your neck. It’s not bad and you get used to it. That’s also good for airplanes and hotel rooms because you are less likely to misplace one. Skip the Ozlo’s. Not worth the money.
