Bluetooth Headphones For Sleeping – AcousticSheep Effortless

Listening to music before bed can actually improve the quality of your sleep. It’s kind of like being sung to as a baby in order to calm you down and get ready for bedtime, except now we’re older but we still rely on the refreshment of winding down every night to stay healthy. (And we might not have someone we would enjoy singing us to sleep anymore.)

First, let’s take a look at the headband design and material!

How To Prepare Your Headband For Washing
Just like our pillowcases tend to absorb our sweat or facial oils, the same applies for the hypoallergenic headband you’ll be wearing all night. It’s important to keep your headband clean and luckily for us, it’s a super easy process that you will see below.
Here’s a quick instructional video showing you how to remove the speaker and Bluetooth/volume control components to wash your headband:
Bluetooth Feature – Cord-Free/Tangle-Free Night’s Sleep
With their previous headband model, AcousticSheep didn’t have a Bluetooth option. With the new and improved Effortless model, you don’t have to worry about getting tangled up in any cords.
We’ve all had the experience of waking up in the middle of the night with a headphone cord wrapped around our arm. I’m sure you’ve also experienced the uncomfortable sensation of your earbud getting shoved too far down into your ear canal.
The bottom line is you don’t have to deal with those issues anymore. All of those problems have been eliminated. You can improve the quality of your resting time with music and an ultra-comfy fleece headband that’s ALSO wireless.
No Wires + 13 Hour Run Time
One concern you might have is about your SleepPhones running out of battery in the middle of the night. You could literally leave them running for up to 13 hours without having to worry about that. Most likely you’ll fall asleep with them still powered on so even in your dreams your brain waves will be affected by whatever music you choose.
Wireless Induction Charging
A USB induction charging based is also included. All you have to do is plug your charging base into the wall and set your SleepPhones on top of the induction charging base. Not only do you get wireless listening, but also wireless charging.
The induction charging base works in a similar way that an electric toothbrush can be charged by placing it inside it’s charging base. The electric energy is transferred between the two devices by way of electromagnetic technology.
Binaural Beats For Enhanced Relaxation
Some of you might even enjoy listening to the sleep-specific binaural beats. These can help reduce the effects of insomnia and alter your brain’s resting rate to produce a feeling of relaxation.
You can find binaural tracks and playlists for free on YouTube and there are even some apps designed to help you get a better night’s rest. (It’s probably a habit more of us should get in the routine of using.)
Here’s one of the most popular collections of binaural beats that will tune your brain into the Delta wave frequency that induces deep sleep states.
One last thing worth noting about binaural beats is that if you don’t have both earbuds in, you won’t be able to hear the full range of frequency that you need to. With the SleepPhones Effortless, both earbuds fit snugly inside your headband, so they won’t fall out and disrupt the sound.

This is really innovative and I can see why this product has won so many awards. I’m an insomniac and am always looking for a good solution for a restful night’s sleep. The only concern I might have is the delicate wiring and speakers. What kind of warranty is offered and what is the price of one of these units please? I know a couple of people who would love to have this including myself!
I understand your concern but I don’t think you’ll have to worry about the wiring and speakers holding up Lauren. The main concern with the electronic components would be if you accidentally left them in the headband and put them in your washer.
You can see the warranty info here. As far as their going value, right now they’re offering free shipping on orders over $49 which means if you order these, you’ll qualify. 🙂 To see what they cost click here.
I hope that answers your questions. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!
I had no idea this existed! I live with a couple of roommates and we’re pretty outgoingh. Thst means that sometimes I’m in bed and they come home at 4 in the morning (weekdays) and they start pumping some music through te speakers. Sometimes this wakes me up and then I put in my earplugs but like you mentioned in your article: I always get tangled up in the wires and the earbus are eally uncomfortable.
This device could come in really handy! The only question I have though: how is the sound compared to in-ear headphones? I love in-ear headphones because their sound is so good as it really gets pumped into your ear.
Cheers!
I can definitely see why you could benefit from something like the SleepPhones Efforltess Sergio. I’ve been in that situation before and it’s hard to get a good night’s sleep if you can’t stay asleep (as you know).
To answer your question, it really depends on what kind of in-ear headphones you’re currently using. Without that reference it’s hard to say how the sound quality would compare with the Effortless’ sound quality.
If you were to compare the sound to a pair of earbuds like the Bose QuietComfort 20s, the Bose will outperform them sound-wise. For things like sleeping next to someone who snores “like a motorboat” or loud roommates like you mentioned, they’ll be perfect. Some customers have stated that it’s “keeping their marriage happy“, and that the “SOUND IS INCREDIBLE“.
I hope that answers your question. 🙂
