The Sleep Headphones I Use Every Night Are Currently on Sale for $80.
I’ve been using in-ear headphones for a while now to improve my sleep, but I never expected any company to release headphones specifically for sleep. The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 headphones are exactly that: they’re designed to block out unwanted noise without putting pressure on the ear. I’ve been using them for over a year now and highly recommend them.
These sleep headphones are currently on sale for $99.99 (originally $179.99) as part of Best Buy’s sale—their lowest price yet, according to price tracking tools .
The Sleep A20 headphones aren’t active noise-canceling, which is why they have such a compact and discreet form factor. Instead, they use a snug fit to create natural noise isolation, which I find to be quite effective at blocking out sound. They fit very comfortably and don’t put pressure on your ear when sleeping on your side. It’s rare that I wake up with one of them stuck in my blanket after it fell out during the night, but it does happen.
The battery life in sleep mode is 14 hours, including sounds from the Soundcore app (such as white noise or relaxing sounds). In Bluetooth mode, when listening to Spotify or other music, the battery life is eight hours, but the charging case extends the total battery life to 80 hours on a single charge.
The companion app is excellent, with a variety of useful sleep features. You can turn off the headphones after a set time, use a sleep tracker that records your sleep data, use a smart volume control feature that increases or decreases the volume based on the sound in your room, a full-fledged equalizer, and more.
