The Sleep Headphones I Use Every Night Are $30 Off Right Now
I’ve been using headphones to help me sleep for a while now, but I never expected a company to actually make headphones specifically for sleep. Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20 is just that: headphones designed to block out excess noise without pressing against your ear. I’ve been using them for a year now and couldn’t recommend them enough.
Right now, these sleep headphones are on sale for $119.99 (originally $149.99) during Amazon’s Big Spring sale —the lowest price, according to price trackers .
The Sleep A20 are not active noise canceling headphones, which is why they have such a small and unobtrusive form factor. Instead, they use an in-ear seal to create a natural noise blocker that, in my opinion, works well enough to block out sounds. They fit very comfortably and don’t put pressure on your ear when you sleep on your side. It’s very rare that I wake up with one of them lost under the covers after falling during the night, but sometimes it happens.
Battery life is 14 hours in sleep mode, which includes sounds from the Soundcore app (such as white noise or relaxing sounds). If you have it in Bluetooth mode, where you can listen to Spotify or whatever, then that’s eight hours, but the charging case allows for a total runtime of up to 80 hours between plug-ins.
The companion app is great and has a lot of useful sleep features. You can turn off the headphones after a certain time, have a sleep tracker that records your sleep data, a smart volume feature that increases or decreases the volume depending on the sound in your room, a full equalizer, and other features.
