Perytong Bluetooth Sleep Headphones Headband with HD Speakers – Noise Cancelling, for Side Sleepers, Workout, Jogging, Yoga

Divine
Ah, the Perytong Sleep Headphones—an absolute triumph of modern ingenuity wrapped in soft, stretchy splendor! Darlings, I simply refuse to travel without this magnificent contraption hugging my aristocratic brow. Whether I’m soaring through the skies or attempting to doze in the cacophonous chaos of a hotel infested with toddlers and questionable plumbing, this headband is my salvation.With white noise serenading me directly into each ear canal like a whispered lullaby from a silk-gloved valet, I am utterly impervious to snoring seatmates, wailing babies, or the alarming nocturnal symphony of raccoons outside one’s Airbnb. Truly, it blocks out everything short of a brass band performing Wagner.Sleek, stylish, and gloriously effective—it’s like having one’s own butler hum you to sleep on demand. Five out of five stars, and I’d give it a sixth if it also brewed a cup of Earl Grey.

Decent value
I fall asleep listening to music. This product was purchased to replace aging over-ear noise cancelling headphones. I’ve used it for about 2 weeks now and I’m pretty satisfied with it. It’s relatively comfortable, convenient, connects to my phone quickly without any issues, and has enough battery life that I can use it every night for a full week on a single charge. I keep the volume on the low side and it doesn’t disturb my partner.Cons? Primarily, the sound quality is quite bad even at low volume. It’s passable for my purposes, but I do miss the sound from my better quality headphones. Nothing sounds good through these. They distort badly at higher volumes, and do not get very loud at maximum settings. The material is holding up just fine for now, but I do believe that their quality fits best into the disposable category.

Super comfortable. Long term quality is ehhhh….
So I have anxiety and really struggle with that, especially at night. I’ve found listening to white noise, meditations, or similar things really help me fall asleep faster. I have a roommate so I don’t want to play them out loud and disturb them. Enter these headphones. The battery life is decent, and I can usually go 2-3 days between them charging as long as I set a auto-stop timer on my audio. I’m a side sleeper and don’t really feel these at all, and they don’t disturb me when I sleep.That being said, I tend to buy these in sets of twos. One to use and one as a backup because the wires in the headphones are SUPER thin (think traditional wired earbuds thin). In theory that shouldn’t be a problem, but I toss and turn in my sleep and often wake up with the headphones not on my head. After a while the wires take a beating, especially around the actual speakers and the charging port. Eventually the plastic coating breaks, the wire is exposed, and a speaker gives out or they stop charging. But they’re so darn comfortable and have helped me sleep so I’m willing to put up with it.

Four stars for comfort, one star for volume, battery life and UX
UPDATED: At the time of purchase, the battery lasted at least two and sometimes three nights on one charge. Nine (9) months later, the charge doesn’t even last the night. The battery dies at ~5 hours.I didn’t expect that a rechargeable battery would last forever, but I did expect that it would be over 50% less effective in less than a year.Additionally, the band has really lost it’s shape. It was really soft so it moved around some, but never a lot, but now it barely stays on. I often wake in the middle of the night to find it completely off the back of my head. I have tried washing it to tighten the fibers, but that didn’t help at all.Generally speaking, I don’t think that an electronic should be something I need to replace every nine months. So I have reduced my score from 3 stars to 1.I was looking for a comfortable headband to listen to audiobooks and meditations at night to help with my anxiety. Since I almost exclusively sleep on my side, I wanted something comfortable.PROSVery comfortable sleeping on my side. Yes, I can feel the speaker a bit, but it feels soft, not hard, with no sharp points. Unless you are Princess & the Pea type (and no judgements if you are), the speakers are very comfortable to sleep on.The sound quality is better than I expected. Obviously, being inside the headband, it is slightly better when laying on my side and the speaker is pressed into my ear. But even when laying on my back, it’s still good.The fabric is really soft and comfortable. It didn’t make me hot, nor were there any places where it was itchy or poked me.My kid wanted one too. She has helix piercings and this was totally comfortable over those, as well.The speakers do move around a bit, but it is very easy to reposition them, and they don’t seem to move much within the headband while I sleep. I never have to move them around much, so I cannot say if it is because I am just lucky to have the right sized head for their positioning. YMMVCONSThe photo makes it look like the headband has some form to it and will retain that shape. It does not. It is very soft and scrunches up easily. As a result, it is almost never in the right position when I wake up.The elastic is very loose, which does increase comfort, but decreases it’s ability to stay on.It operates differently than every other bluetooth speaker device I own:* All of my other bluetooth “speakers” (including headphones and earbuds) have some sort of volume memory with my device. So when I connect them, the volume level resets to where it was the last time I used the device. Not this one. It resets to the highest volume level every time, which is both shocking and painful if you don’t remember to turn it down before you start playing your music/audiobook.* All of my other bluetooth “speakers” allow me more gradients in volume control, using both the device volume and the speaker volume, with the device having fewer gradients and the speaker having more. The best analogy I can think of is a treadmill. Imagine a treadmill where you can ONLY go 1 mph, 2 mph, 3mph, etc. So if 1 mph is too slow and 2 mph is too fast, you have no other options. That is how my devices usually work. My other bluetooth “speakers” give me options between 1 and 2, so I can adjust the sound levels to best fit my needs without changing the volume level of the device. This headband does not allow that. You get 1 or 2, or in the case of volume for sleeping, 0 (no volume) or 1, which is a bit too loud for what I want when I sleep. So not only is it a bit harder to be lulled into sleep, I also worry about the potential impact on our hearing (feel like it would have similar risks to ear buds)* I never use the track and volume buttons on the band. As stated above, it is no different that the volume level on my device, and it is easier to adjust the volume on my device. The long-press for volume is hard to get just right. Too short and you change your track. Too long and you are either blasting your ears or end up muting the sound.* No auto shut off. HOW DID I MISS THAT IN THE DESCRIPTION?? This means I have to recharge it at least every night or two, which isn’t great.It’s too late to return and I don’t have the energy to go through all the options again, so I will deal with it for the time being.

The product is very wonderful and comfortable during sleep and blocks the light if you put it on your eyes. The only problem is that its battery life during use is relatively short, but I can not complain about that.

These headphones are actually quite good for the price.Pros:Connects easily with Bluetooth.Very comfortable.Good for side sleeping.No annoying light so doesn’t bother partner at night.USB C connector for charging.Battery lasted me a few nights in a row at least. So that’s pretty good.Cons:To change volume you need to hold down the skip track button which is hard to control. But I just adjust volume on the phone directly.Overall happy, especially considering the price. Volume is loud enough for in the house and sleeping, but not really for a booming workout track outside.
