I promise I don’t work for Bose.
DH snores SUPER loudly and after a particularly bad night on Saturday night, he decided to get me an early Christmas present. These are Bose earbuds that connect to an app that plays various sorts of white noise, meant not only to block out sound, but also keep you asleep and promote good sleep cycles. You can also set alarms for various days and customize the noise that the alarm plays. I kid you not that I have *never* woken up so refreshed as I did this morning. I had been using regular earplugs, but they just didn’t do the trick. DH’s snoring would wake me up anyway and I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. These things aren’t cheap at $300–especially for a single-use product—but you can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep! If you’re someone who really struggles to sleep, I seriously recommend these things. Note: Apparently the first-gen version of these had inconsistent battery life, but these are supposed to have much better battery life. https://www.theverge.com/22176950/bose-sleepbuds-ii-earbuds-review |
| They aren’t uncomfortable in your ears all night? |
Nope! They’re very small. I was skeptical about wearing earbuds all night and having noise playing, but it really is relaxing. |
| When they say single use what do they mean? I thought single use meant you use them once and throw them away but that can’t be true for $300 earbuds can it? |
Oh no, sorry — I meant single-use in that you can’t use them to listen to music. They’re purely for sleeping. Should’ve clarified that. I do want to note that, of course, you can use them to sleep anywhere, so you can bring them on a plane or a train and I imagine they’d work well in those environments. |
I can sleep in my AirPods Pro with no problem and I listen to podcast and my sleep sounds app st night. Problem is, I, the wife who Snores
|
Has he gone for a sleep study? |
| Good to know- thanks, OP! |
I'm the wife. My snoring is not a problem for me. It might be for my husband. His snoring was a problem for me so he got a cpap. |
| There is no way these would be good for your hearing to repeatedly have something right in your ear playing music/white noise for hours, night after night. |
Well, I trust Bose on that count.
It isn’t noise, BTW. It’s fairly soft white noise. |
? You don’t think white noise is noise? |
I’m not going to debate this with you. If you want to argue they cause hearing damage, then don’t buy them. |
Ahhh. You’re one of those. Carry on. Or should I say CARRY ON! |
Huh? |
