Amazon shoppers are raving about a £15 gadget, hailed as a ‘godsend’ for anyone who struggles to fall asleep. The unusual device, Amazon’s Sleep Headphones, not only helps users drift off at night but also allows them to catch some shut-eye while travelling.
Combining a typical eye mask with a speaker, it enables you to listen to white noise, audio books or relaxing music without disturbing your partner or the need for bulky headphones.
The headphone eye mask, available in four different colours, usually retails for £21.99 but has been reduced to just £14.99 for a limited time – saving you a total of £7. The Sleep Headphones feature a Bluetooth speaker that provides between 10 to 14 hours of music playback per charge, along with a super soft eye mask that blocks out any light that could disturb your sleep.
What sets this product apart is its comfort throughout the night, unlike ear buds or headphones which can cause discomfort in your ears or neck over time. You can adjust the speakers near the ears to set the perfect volume and also adjust the size of the mask when necessary.
With an impressive average rating of 4.3 stars from over 2,300 reviews, Amazon customers have praised the Sleep Headphones. Users who have tried this tech gadget have reported improved sleep quality, thanks to its ability to block out unwanted sight and sound as they drift off, reports the Manchester Evening News.
One Amazon shopper exclaimed: “It’s genuinely a godsend for long trips or sharing a room with someone who snores. The sound is actually really clear which was unexpected. The mask is super comfortable and blocks out the light completely.”
Another satisfied customer shared: “Because I love mine so much, this one was bought as a gift for a night-shift worker. He now sleeps much better, daylight doesn’t get through and listening to white noise blocks all the noise from a busy road.”
A third happy user wrote: “Bought this to help me sleep at night. It completely blocks out any light and I can listen to gentle music or audio books to help me drop off to sleep. It is such a hit I’ve bought a second one for my son.”
“Absolutely amazing,” another chimed in. “This sleep mask is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. When I lay on my side I cannot feel the speakers whatsoever. I would really recommend this sleep mask.”
However, not everyone was completely satisfied, as one Amazon shopper left a three-star review, pointing out that the battery life is ‘not as stated’. They commented: “The product itself is a good idea, shame the battery lasts nowhere near as it says. I got 7 hours the first time and 4 hours the next.”
But another was over the moon with their Amazon find, sharing: “My partner works shift work and would hear every little sound through the day and would get horrible sleep when working nights. Got this for his birthday. It’s literally changed his life. He sleeps straight through, listening to white noise and blocking daylight. It’s amazing what good proper sleep can do. He wakes up refreshed and we feel comfortable moving around the house and living a bit during the day.”
Another nifty tech gadget that’s been designed to help you catch those elusive ZZZs is the Soundasleep Medium Support Speaker Pillow, retailing at £40 from Argos. This innovative pillow comes with a built-in speaker that’s so discreet it goes unnoticed, allowing you to drift off to your favourite tunes or calming sounds without any headphones and without disturbing anyone else.
