I Tried Sleep Earbuds for Months: Here Are My Top 4 Picks

Getting good sleep is important for our health, but many adults in the US don't get enough sleep.

If noise keeps you awake, you might consider earplugs or sleep earbuds as a more convenient option.

I tested sleep earbuds and earplugs for a few months to see which ones are worth buying. I'm a side sleeper and have two cats, so it was a good test.

We no longer recommend the original Ozlo Sleepbuds because they are discontinued and were too expensive. But the new Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are worth looking at.

I chose four of the best sleep earbuds on the market, with different prices and features. I wanted to help you pick the best one for you.

Topics: Earbuds

I used to wear AirPods to sleep, but I only wore one so I could sleep on my side.

Sleep earbuds are better than regular earbuds for sleeping because they are more comfortable and have better battery life.

Sleep earbuds can offer white noise, better battery life, and more comfort. They usually don't have microphones and have touch controls that work well.

It's not just about the earbuds; you should also think about other ways to deal with noise at night.

I talked to Dr. Ashley Kita, an ear doctor, about the risks of wearing earbuds all night. She said if your partner's snoring keeps you awake, you should try to solve that problem first.

Dr. Kita said that snoring can be a sign of a bigger health problem, so it's good to look into it.

If you can't control the noise, you should think about keeping your ears clean, safe noise levels, and comfortable earbuds.

When I tested earbuds, I wore them for a long time, even longer than I would during the day. Dr. Kita said this could increase the risk of ear infections.

Dr. Kita said that wearing earbuds for a long time can cause wax to build up in your ears, but it's not usually a big problem.

If you wear earbuds all night, you should clean them with alcohol and a cotton pad after each use to prevent infections.

Noise can hurt your hearing, so it's good to keep the volume low. Dr. Kita said you should always use the lowest volume possible.

Dr. Kita said that using earbuds at night is not that different from using a white noise machine, as long as the volume is low.

It's very important that earbuds fit comfortably in your ears so you can sleep well and not hurt your ears.

Everyone's ears are different, so what works for one person might not work for another.

If earbuds hurt your ears, it can be bad for your ear health. If they don't feel right, you can return them.

One product that didn't make the cut was the 1More Sleeping Earbuds Z30. They were cheap but didn't have good battery life or features.

I used to recommend the original Ozlo Sleepbuds, but they got too expensive and are now discontinued. The new Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are better and cheaper.

I tested six sleep earbuds over a few months, using each one for at least a week. I looked at four main things: comfort, noise, features, and price.

Comfort is very important because if earbuds hurt, you won't wear them. I looked for earbuds that had different sizes and didn't cause ear soreness.

Not many sleep earbuds have active noise cancellation, but a good fit and white noise can help. I tested the earbuds in different noisy situations.

This category includes things like battery life, Bluetooth connection, app features, and the size of the case. I wanted to see how easy it was to use the earbuds at night.

The price of the earbuds is important. I wanted to make sure that the price matched how well the earbuds worked.
