- SleepPhones are the first and most comfortable headphones for sleeping and relaxing that have helped more than ONE MILLION people. The ultra-thin, flat speakers are comfortable enough to wear while lying down or sleeping on your side while the module’s built-in volume and play/pause/skip controls easily let you control your Bluetooth-enabled devices. Listen to soft music, white noise, audio books, and whatever else helps you unwind in complete comfort!
- Enjoy Great Range, Top Audio Quality, and a Long Lasting Battery. You’ll love that your SleepPhones Wireless can connect to your Bluetooth enabled devices from 15-30 feet (5-10 meters) away. You’ll also love the speakers’ crystal clear sound quality and being able to listen for hours on end thanks to a rechargeable battery–it lasts up to 10 hours with the included USB cord.
- Natural Sleep Aid Invented By a Doctor. A family physician created SleepPhones because she couldn’t find any comfortable headphones to wear in bed after taking late night patient calls. Today, the invention she and her husband created at their kitchen table has helped more than a million people sleep better without resorting to drugs. (And it even saved a few relationships in which one partner snores!)
- Find Your Perfect Fit. SleepPhones come in S, M, L. Size Medium, M, is the most common size that fits most people. (See our size chart below for more info.) SleepPhones are available in two types of fabric: warm, soft FLEECE fabric and lightweight, moisture wicking BREEZE fabric.

Product Description
Say goodbye to restless nights with SleepPhones from AcousticSheep, the world’s first and most comfortable headphones for sleeping. These innovative headphones feature ultra thin, high-quality speakers tucked inside a lightweight, machine washable headband. You’ll be able to comfortably fall asleep while listening to your favorite music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more without having to use bulky headphones or painful earbuds.
Whether you use SleepPhones to help with insomnia, block out a partner’s snoring, or enjoy music while lying on your side, our headband headphones let you fall asleep naturally without sleeping pills. SleepPhones Wireless pair with your Bluetooth enabled device with the touch of a button. You can play, pause, skip, and control the volume from the SleepPhones Wireless module with no need to look at your device. Your SleepPhones Wireless has a range of 30 feet from your Bluetooth enabled device, allowing you to move freely. What's more, SleepPhones can also double as an eye mask, allowing you to sleep anytime, anywhere.
Since 2007, more than one million people have been sleeping better with award winning SleepPhones. Get the rest you need and deserve with SleepPhones!
The First & Most Comfortable Headphones for Sleeping
In addition to being the original sleep headphones, SleepPhones are also the most comfortable. That’s because SleepPhones feature wafer-thin speakers in a soft, stretchy headband made from our exclusive SheepCloud fabric. You can move the speakers so they fit perfectly over your ears–or remove them entirely to wash your headband. These are a far cry from the thick, hard plastic disks you’ll find in other imitation “sleep headphones.”
Then there’s SleepPhones superior sound quality. Get ready to enjoy crystal clear audio from the lead-free speakers with no tinny sound or weird echoes. Don’t compromise your rest by settling for a second-rate knockoff!
Meet the SleepPhones Team
SleepPhones were created by a family doctor who struggled with sleep after taking late night patient phone calls. She needed to listen to some meditative music and didn’t want to use bulky headphones or uncomfortable earbuds. So she and her husband sewed and soldered the first SleepPhones on their kitchen table. SleepPhones were a hit, eventually going on to help more than one million people around the world.
Today, the company still maintains its personal touch. Each SleepPhones is personally assembled and packaged in northwestern Pennsylvania. We’re proud to be a small business that’s helping to reinvent the Rust Belt!
The Most Awarded Headphones for Sleeping
Don’t take our word for it when we say SleepPhones are best headphones for sleeping. With 8 Consumer Electronics Association Innovation Awards, 2 Pennsylvania ImPAct Award, and a Red Dot Design Award, SleepPhones truly are the most well-regarded headphones for sleeping on the market.
In addition to SleepPhones Wireless, we also offer:
- SleepPhones Classic (39.95), a corded model that connects to standard audio jacks.
- SleepPhones Effortless (149.95), a wireless model that connects to your Bluetooth enabled devices and comes with a super convenient induction charger.

Firstly, I saw people complaining about how the battery is difficult to access. I'm a bit confused by this. Only someone from an infomercial would struggle to extract the battery from these unless you really managed to jam it clear up into the band where it, frankly, should not be. The pack is right at the velcro opening. It is easy to insert and remove. It also charges quickly and is extraordinarily easy to pair with your bluetooth headset. If you plug your phone into say your car sound system, when you remove it your SleepPhones will immediately reconnect if they are still on.
Secondly, the battery life. I turn these on in the morning before I leave for work and leave them on through my eight hour work day, so they are on and running for about nine hours. I've yet have the battery die on me in that time. I imagine the volume you have them at judges how long your battery will last, my volume is typically at half. I saw many people saying these will only last six hours but that is definitely not the case if you keep the volume at a moderate level.
Thirdly, sound quality. So much better than I expected. Before I purchased these I wore a set of Philips Fidelo on ears at my job which have outstanding sound and was pleasantly surprised by these SleepPhones; despite the speakers being so small the sound is excellent and clear. I saw complaints about them not being loud enough but I have never needed to have them at maximum volume... they do in fact get quite loud.
I use these both to sleep and to my job where we are not supposed to be wearing headphones at all. I work in a very noisy backroom and am one of the three people out of 30+ that actually has to use some amount of concentration to get my job done. If you need some comfy, undercover headphones, I highly recommend these. I have been wearing on ear headphones for years that make my helix and conch piercings hurt from the constant pressure, if you have lots of ear piercings and are looking for a comfy headset, I highly recommend these! And of course, they are surprisingly nice to sleep in. If you listen to ASMR videos these will change the way you enjoy ASMR videos forever. I travel internationally often and I imagine these will be excellent on an intl flight, much more comfortable than on ear headphones or earbuds for 12 hours. The one and only downside to these is that they do move around if you are moving around, but they are easy to adjust regardless. Like I said before, 100$ is a fairly steep price but depending on what you need/want these for, they are worth the price. Thanks AcousticSheep!
UPDATE: I've owned these for coming up on two years now, I use them 4~5 days a week for up to 9hrs a day. The battery life has not decreased. The wires are perfectly fine. The sound quality has not diminished. You can remove the entire battery pack and headphones and toss the band in the wash with your laundry. The only thing that would make this product better would be some non-slip silicone. Even without that, I'm more than happy with this purchase and I'd happily buy again.
I received these headphones the first week of March, 2019, almost 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with the purchase.
At just under 2 years of use, they still work perfectly which, in my mind, is crazy, especially considering the plastic coating on the wires has started to crack like crazy the past few months. I'll try and add an image to show you what I mean.
I use these headphones every single night and honestly didn't expect them to last 6 months because of the wires inside. I mean, I've never owned a pair of wired headphones that didn't start crackling after a couple of months, and stop working completely within 6 months, and that's without sleeping on them all night, every night.
And to be clear, these are "wireless", but that only applies to how they connect to your source of entertainment. They still have wires inside that connect the individual earphones with the power source/electronics.
I came in to write this review because just recently the headband has started to loosen up a bit, moving around on my head while I sleep so I decided to replace them before the wires completely break through and I'm left without until new ones arrive.
I drive tow truck and already have a hard time sleeping, so getting up in the middle of the night and losing sleep is already a problem. Not being able to get back to sleep because of all the little noises (or the not so little noises coming from my right side) would become dangerous as my risk of falling asleep at the wheel would dramatically increase.
Anyway, I'm ordering a replacement set before these die and will keep these as backup.
An additional note is that I've since found out that you need to wash the headband to help prevent stretching, which I've never done. I know that probably sounds gross, but the headband isn't greasy or obviously dirty so I never really got around to it.
I'm pointing that out to show that one of the 2 "problems" I have now could probably have been eliminated by washing them occasionally, but either way I don't care... 2 years of use for $99 of every single day use and good night's of sleep is well with it. And the second "problem" isn't actually a problem yet, because they still work perfectly.
And to be honest, 6 months at that price would be worth it to me. Not sure why some people complain about them not lasting a year. Seriously, how many headphones have you had where the wires last that long with 8 hrs of use every single day, where you also lay on the wires all night long?
None. At least for me, the answer is none.
And one last thing- the battery still late so night long. So far, no noticeable loss in time. I'd say easily 9 or 10 hours of use can be had.
Original review-
I'm a light sleeper so these are very handy for providing quiet background noise to drown out TV, neighbors and snoring. I'm not naming names or anything, but let's just say these have helped me get much needed sleep.
Especially as I work on call at night and can get up multiple times in a night if things are crazy.
This is pretty comfortable and the battery definitely lasts all night.

Now down to the nitty gritty... I purchased a size medium and it fits perfect for me and is comfortable. I went on the Sleepphones website and will further purchase a cotton headband for the summer months as opposed to the fleece which is good for the winter months. If you are not tech savvy, no worries as I found the instructions very user friendly and to pair the device to my tablet only took a few minutes. To charge the device took about 3 hours for the first charge and the battery life lasted all night long.
Best purchase of the year!
Naturalmente la fascia è una semplice fascia, non c'è da aspettarsi nulla di speciale.
Il ricevitore bluetooth è scarso: la durata della batteria rispecchia in maniera approssimativa quella di un sonno medio, mi aspettavo qualcosa in più...ogni volta che si vuole ricaricarla, bisogna tirare il filo attaccato al ricevitore e farlo uscire dall'unica piccola apertura nel retro della fascia. E' un operazione non difficoltosa, ma direi "seccante" da dover fare ogni volta. La ricarica avviene collegando un cavetto usb (incluso) tra questo ricevitore e una porta usb del proprio computer, oppure ad un caricabatterie da muro con porta usb. Inevitabilmente, tirando il filo, verrà via anche l'auricolare del relativo lato.
I fili di collegamento potevano essere fatti a spirale piuttosto che semplicissimi fili. A seconda delle regolazioni che ognuno dovrà inevitabilmente fare per adattare la distanza tra l'auricolare destro e quello sinistro (come quando si regola la grandezza di una cuffia), i fili entreranno facilmente in tensione e si avrà la sensazione che possano rompersi facilmente.
Il ricevitore, nel caso in cui lo associate ad un cellulare (quindi per ascoltare la musica dal vostro cellulare in cuffia), è realizzato in modo da interfacciare le possibili chiamate in arrivo, PERO', una volta accettata la chiamata, verrà commutato l'audio in ingresso e non il microfono. Risultato: voi sentirete chi vi parla, ma chi vi parla non sentirà voi.
Mi sembra davvero una spesa esagerata. Al momento del mio acquisto si tratta di 79,77€... non considerando 15/10€ di spese di spedizione, a mio parere 65/70€ per questo prodotto sono davvero troppi.
E' un prodotto molto idealizzato che può valere al massimo 30€ in versione bluetooth e 15€ in versione con filo.
2 stelle solo perchè la qualità dell'audio non è così scarsa...ma personalmente lo sconsiglio.
Deluso!
complaint: is hooking up the charger is annoying. Finding the place to hook it up inside the headphones is not easily done. Also not noise cancelling in case people are wondering. We knew this so not a concern.
