soundcore Sleep A30 by Anker, Ultra‑Comfortable Earbuds for Side Sleepers, Dedicated App, Sleep Monitoring, Soothing Sound Masking Technology for All‑Night Rest (White)

I waited for the price to drop before buying these but now that I know they work I would have gladly paid the full price. If you can't get a good nights sleep, the health cost outweighs the monetary cost . If you share a wall or ceiling with a neighbour, and that is most people, this is a lifesaver. After downloading the app, the first update went through. Testing it for the first time, I tapped the earbuds but the tap function wasn't working. I wasn't too concerned, then a few moments later a second update appeared, and this fixed the issue. Make sure to let the app update to the latest version to fix any issues. This is actually the first time I've used ANC earbuds. I've had to wait patiently for the tech to appear in a earbud designed for sleep as it knew would offer the perfect solution to those living in a noisy enviroment. I've not used the A20's which doesn't have ANC , so I was excited to discover that this is the first time ANC has been used in a sleep earbud. The ANC is a game changer. While it doesn't elimate noise it does once heck of job of reducing it. Suddenly the slamming, banging, shouting and stomping of the neighbour has faded enough to no longer disturb my sleep. The charging case also acts has a microphone built in which detects noise levels such as snoring and will alter the strength of the ANC to counteract the noise. I find by placing the case right next to my pillow this makes the ANC more effective in cancelling out noise. Anker is a well known battery company, they sell battery packs on Amazon. ANC is battery intensive. When solid state battery becomes mainstream this should put to bed the shortcomings of current lithium-ion battery technology. However, setting the listening mode to "Local mode" with ANC on, and with sounds to stop once sleep is detected with ANC left on, I easily got through the night. But as charging in the case is superfast a five to ten minute charge is all you need when going for a pee in the middle of the night to get through a longer sleep. (After 3 weeks of usuage, I've found that I don't need any white noise at all and have turned this off, leaving only the ANC on. In my case, the white noise was acutally preventing me from going to sleep. In local mode, I just stopped the playback and set the ANC on. This gave me 7 hours of perfect sleep, according to the app's sleep report - and I felt it too, with exactly 30 percent battery left in both earbuds. I've noticed that when I had the white noise on, the battery consumption appears to greater in one of the earbuds. ) The earbuds themselves are super comfortable. The material is ultra soft and I felt no discomfort when wearing them. Unlike earplugs, I don't think these are supposed to be fully inserted into the ear. At first, the medium sized earbuds preloaded seemed to big, but I think that they are meant to partially inserted to work best. My right ear canal is slighly smaller than my right so I have small earbuds in that ear with medium size in my left ear. As per instructions I bought some alcohol wipes/swabs to clean the metal charging contacts. It dries quickly so avoidng the possible damage if using water to wipe it clean. There is a 18 month warranty nevertheless. Also can order offical replacement eartips and wings from Anker's website, I wouldnt trust copies from third party sellers. I've suffered from sleep problems due to noise for years and after trying many solutions I considered spending lots on soundproofing my walls, these came along just in time to save me the money. This is a superb and highly effective device to enable good quality sleep. Future iterations of this product will no doubt be even better, but for now this is the best sleep device I've ever used.

These are one of the first wireless earbuds designed for sleeping and on the whole they work pretty well. The fit pretty flat in my ears which means I can indeed side sleep comfortably with them in. They come with a decent selection of earbuds and wings to fit most ears but I would guess they would not fit someone with a smaller ear. With ANC switched off they make it through the night pretty easily, but with it switched on, it's touch and go. I've had them go flat by morning on occasion, however they are designed to mostly not need ANC on. There are a couple of design problems, which I think are mostly software and so hopefully fixable. You can start the earbuds in bluetooth mode and then when they detect you've fallen asleep they switch to local mode where they play a chosen white noise effect. Local mode then raises and lowers the volume of the noise to mask background noises like snoring. It also recommends the noise config to choose based on the frequency distribution of the background noise. The first problem is that if whatever you're listening to on bluetooth as you go to sleep, runs out before it detects you've fallen asleep then it doesn't turn on the noise in local mode. The sleep detection is looking for now movement for 70 minutes. This means that if your content (say a podcast) isn't longer than 70 mins then the noise won't automatically kick in. Most of what I listen to is less than 15 mins which means no automatic switch. If I wake up, I double tap on the left bud twice and it comes on. IMO it should always switch on the noise when the bluetooth track finishes or it detects you're asleep. The second problem is with the sleep onset detection feature of the app - ie to tell you how quickly it thinks you went to sleep. This doesn't work with bluetooth mode at all crazy as that sounds. Again, you should just tell it you're going to sleep and it should work independent of mode. Otherwise the headphones work as you'd expect, they do not have top of range audio, ANC or battery life but then they have to be very small and slim so not surprising. I have found them very effective for the main reason I bought them, for use while sleeping to help with background noise etc.

I’ve been using it for a month now, and it’s the best purchase I’ve ever made! I’ve been sleeping so much better, the noise cancellation is absolutely amazing, it’s comfortable to sleep with, the app is super easy and super cool. I also use as normal earbuds to listen to music and specially for audiobooks, when I don’t want to be distracted by the outside noise. Absolutely amazing product!

Bra ljud och ANC. Bekväma att använda. Bra programvara med rikligt med alternativ att välja på. Toppenprodukt helt enkelts.

Bolą w uszy i są niewygodne. Funkcje są niedopracowane, w aplikacji jest dużo błędów. Aplikacja jest niestabilna. Ostatecznie zwróciłem słuchawki.

I have to say, the Soundcore Anker Sleep A30 headphones are absolutely fantastic. If you have a partner who snores and it’s keeping you up at night, these are a game-changer. I finally managed to get some real rest. Fit & Comfort It takes a little bit of time to find the right ear tips and the perfect position in the ear, but once you do, you’ll sleep like a baby. I am a side sleeper, and for the first couple of days, I felt some soreness inside my ear. However, I switched from the "S" tips to the "M" size, and that made a huge difference—the comfort improved significantly. Performance & Sound Masking I usually use them in Local Mode with ANC enabled, which works best for me. I did try the Bluetooth mode with Dynamic Snore Masking, but I found that the volume adjustments—as the earbuds tried to adapt to the snoring—actually woke me up a bit. In Local Mode, the sound is more consistent and I can sleep through the night much better. Software & Battery There are some minor software inconsistencies; occasionally, the sound cuts out for a second and then restarts. In terms of battery, when using Local Mode with ANC, they sometimes last about 7 hours. I suspect the ANC is working extra hard to mask the noise! Also, if I sleep on one side for a long time, the earbud I’m lying on sometimes shuts off while the other stays on. Verdict Even with these small software and battery quirks, I am extremely satisfied. They do exactly what I need them to do: they mask the snoring and let me sleep. If you're struggling with noise at night, these are well worth it!

By far the best sleep ear buds I’ve owned, they are pretty expensive but I’m extremely happy I bought them. The anc works pretty well, and the white noise is great, plus it chooses the best white noise for you if you use the app. My only negative is they they last between 6.5-7 hours on average with anc on so if you actually get a full nights sleep they will be dead in the morning plus the sleep tracking won’t work passed the point they died. The case gets a solid 3-4 charges out of it before it needs to be charged as well.
