I have been using them for the past 10 months since my daughter was born. All I can say is that they have helped me sleep. Bose has made huge mistake abandoning the project because there is nothing like it on the market.

[@themesscrew7]

just got an ad for Ozlo sleepbuds that a few ex bose employees are reviving them, idk saw a kickstarter so im curious about investing into what

I bought them a year ago and used them like 3 times. they hurt my ears idk why.

[@Ryan256]

Ozlo sleep buds are basically the Bose sleepbuds 3. Same team of designers, better battery, and can play any Bluetooth media as long as you’re within range of the charging case. 👍🏻🎧

[@ravidama8792]

I tried them, and they dont work as well.

[@AlissaJaney]

Please bring these back, Bose!! I can't sleep without mine and went to buy a replacement and can't believe they are discontinued.

[@techforever1970]

Old stock is still available in my country, but people are selling them for the equivalent of $450USD. I’m really used to mine and actually love them but I can’t afford $450USD at the moment. Stock is running out and I feel like crying atm. I’ve never slept better than with the SleepBuds. It will be a matter of time before I lose this luxury. Life is a b***h sometimes…

[@forzazzurri20]

No idea if it’s good and no idea if preorders will be fulfilled (but it sounds like some have already started to be) But the team who made the sleepbuds made their own startup called Ozlo, and they’re working on a similar product.

I've owned both version of these, and I can't sleep without them. LOVE THEM. Still sleep with them every single night.

I worked in retail and sold them to a lot of costumers and received a lot of positive feedback. My boss had a pair of both versions too and he was absolutely excited about them.

[@Legiey]

No bluetooth was a killer for me

[@daniel..cooper]

I still use mine every night, for those having sound issues in 1 earpiece, use some Isopropanol Alcohol to clean the black mesh, mine have had intermittent sound issues and this fixes and cleans every time.

[@surrealchemist]

I used these for almost 2 years probably and then one of them died... then I found out I couldn't even buy a replacement or reach out to support because it was discontinued. I feel like this is such a good product and there is room for improvement in the tech and people will buy it but not at the level of say standard headphones. There is a kickstarter for a replacement that was done involving some of the same engineers so I am looking forward to checking out.

[@dwinosam]

They’re sold as ozlo sleep brand now

[@irenek90]

I had both iterations of the Bose sleep buds, life changing for my sleep issues. Once my sleep buds 2 started having issues I just wanted to buy a new pair, there's no price on good sleep. Devastated to learn they are discontinued. Bought the Ankar, better than nothing bot not as good in my opinion for comfort or masking.

[@DAVIZINHOXX]

the bose sleepbuds are simply perfect. The price is not a problem if the works so nice. The problem is after one year, the left bud stop working, and I read that a lot of people have this problem 😞

[@techbuzzard5725]

Bose made a wise decision not using li-ion batteries that could explode or catch on fire inside someone's ear

[@Winston-1984]

I've got both sleep headphones, the sleep A10s (or whatever) constantly disconnect & reconnect while trying to sleep & their batt life was like 2 hours. The bose ones are absolutely my fave, i own other sleep style bands & buds too.

[@armandohypersonic3733]

Love my sleepbuds 2. I was looking to buy a backup pair and saw they stopped selling so confused. First Bose product in decades I actually use.

[@jennyh2198]

I cannot sleep without my sleepbuds! If mine stop working, I will have to move into my own bedroom!

[@frankbakker248]

Love them as well. I would gladly pay $250 per year for a new one if they only last one year. Even with all the issues, I can’t live without them. Had several alternatives as a backup but they don’t come close to the original Sleepbuds II

[@mari05us]

They are making them again look up Ozzo sleep buds I can’t wait

[@AppIeOfficial]

I wish I could love them but they been sitting in my drawer for a year since they hurt my ears

[@sarapanzarella97]

I bought these! Desperate because of my tinnitus. They were really lacking in functionality. I learned to late that they offered a turn in. One sometimes developed a clicking sound. I only used them a few months.

[@AlissaJaney]

So sad these were discontinued. I was counting on them for the rest of my life. I have tinnitus really bad and these were the only ones that worked. Please bring them back! Mine died after two years but would happily buy another pair.

[@BunnyJedi]

I literally have 3 pairs of these so that when one fails I have a backup haha...they are the best I've tried so far (best battery life by far) and so far Bose is great about replacing them when they fail (they always do). I hope they come out with number 3 soon! My husband snores like a freaking chainsaw.

[@ingetout]

I have the Soundcore Sleep A10’s and they are just as small, half the price and you can use them just like regular earbuds

[@jamieusaa]

I love them! Perfect for city life! Worth it! My case charged them unplugged . You have to make sure they light up, that means they’re charging!

[@chrisp2588]

Bummed that these have been discontinued. I live in a busy urban area and these were the only things I've tried that really helped me calm down, tune it out and sleep. Mine are dying (left bud doesn't work any more) and I never got more than 8 hours battery life out of them but jeez when they work they really work.

[@SUPER_xNOOBx]

The quality in these videos is increasing at an incredible rate :) :)

[@edcameron]

I think they were really intended for traveling. So they expected most people would only use it once in a while, when they were sleeping in an unfamiliar or noisy place. But people ended up using them at home every night and that quickly killed the battery.

[@Lunarplex]

I LOVE the sleep buds. Thanks for the deep dive. I’ll need to get an alternative when they eventually die.

[@navaneethk5099]

actually kudos for bose. they cared about the safety. the soundcore sleep a10 and 20 uses lithium ion battery i believe. but the bose used Silver-zinc and NiMH battery is very safe but it has some limitations but safety is our priority.

[@annanewman2221]

Exactly. Thank you for the wxcellent video! The sleepbuds FAILED twice. Bought Gen1, failed. Only resolution Bose provided was to buy a slightly discounted Gen2. After 22 months they failed, too. I paid Bose $250+$184 to have a useless product now. Honestly, don’t buy from Bose. You can get mediocre product quality with mediocre customer service from other tech companies at a much better pricing.

[@zootube75]

Love mine, sleep with them every night, I suffer from tinnitus and helps me sleep very well!

[@Tinkbook]

The sleep buds II, literally saved my sleep. It had been over 10 years since I got a full night sleep. I still use them, and I don't know what I'll do when they finally break

[@WilfredForbert]

Are you going to review the Ozlo Sleepbuds. An obvious followup to this video.

[@JohnSanborn-dy3hc]

I have owned both the Bose SB2 (and had them replace and replacement sent back bad) and currently own the SC A10 since beginning on 2023. Bose was comfy but had sound issues for me on one bud and battery issue like others. SC A10 work well but recently (sending in for replacement) they also are suffering from low sound output (on a full charge) in one bud. I have enough sleep issues with Sleep Apnea, i dont need the headaches too from this. Come on companies, get it right please!

[@TheMichelex20]

I loved my sleep buds II. However they broke after two years and most importantly after warranty. At that point the Buds were discontinued. I felt ripped off.

[@DarienDemos]

Could it possibly be that Bose was trying to make sure that you wouldn't have a risk of fire or excessive heat buildup when using a product that would have a lot of trouble dissipating heat? I've slept with my Pixel phones between my pillows or close to my head quite a few times before, and by the time morning comes, it's usually extremely hot to the point that the back glass burns to the touch. I feel like something so small that would be playing sounds for so many hours while also being tucked into your ears and most likely suffocated would have a very high chance of overwhelming a lithium-ion battery.

[@woodies11]

My thought too! While rare, Li-Ion do catch on fire. Imagine having one overheat and burst into flames while are sleeping and unable to react very quickly.

[@vc6218]

I can’t believe Bose abandoned these. Literally help me sleep in this busy ssa city.

[@sebastianperez-z3h]

bought some that were very comfortable for a price of 3 dollars I listen to Asmr when sleeping and it works well

[@abhitoshghongade5098]

I use qc 35 for sleeping and let me tell you that ANC make wonders. Specially in noisy neighborhood.

[@MrBLUMSON]

Been great 👍 but as you we’re saying having the problem with one being more quiet then the other. Going to try and contact Bose to see if they have any refurbished models left 🤞

[@GlassChicken]

I love these sleep buds. I hate that they stop charging.

[@jTiKey]

They never updated their software and most sounds were 4 second loops that had background noice like dog barking that drow me crazy.

[@MrM3-eo4bb]

I do now know why Bose did not continue support theese excellent earbuds. but I do recommend the A10 sleep buds as a replacement if you need one. Boose please get back into the game and release sleep buds III.

[@AdamSmith-ze6gl]

Great video. Thanks. Hope they come out with something that works.

[@dfz4032]

I have been using it for almost 8 months now, can't sleep without it anymore, even for an hour nap, please don't discontinue 😢, I was hoping sleepbuds 3 will be even smaller 😢

[@lillamakrai8086]

Can it also help someone who is disturbed by all sounds and can only fall asleep in silence?

[@jimroberts6176]

Good update. Sigh. Why can't one of these companies come up with an ANC sleep bud?

[@IntuitiveHealingLife]

I’m counting on apple to do that one day!

[@Spartacular]

Which sleepbuds can I get these days with the best noise cancelling? I have terrible noise coming from upstairs neighbors for months disturbing my sleep daily. Nothing I can do about them anymore. I need something that will block upstairs noise on floor.

[@mschelle721]

Man I feel you. I deal with noisy neighbors as well. Both my upstairs and adjacent. I end up buying the Bose QC ultra headphone and the ANC on it is top notch but can’t really sleep with them as I am a side sleeper so if you’re a back sleeper the headphones will be good for you. As for me, I’m in search for and earbuds with the same feature and quality of the Bose QC ultra headphones.

[@Spartacular]

@@mschelle721 I ended up sleeping with foam earplugs cus they're the best, turned on an hair purifier for white noise and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6awZqJ8q9qEmKc and my life is saved. i aimed the speakers at the ceiling to reflect the sound waves back and it's doing a great job. i can sleep!

[@IntuitiveHealingLife]

@@mschelle721i bought AirPods and will try to sleep on my sides with one bud on my ear. I’m also planning to either order pillow with hole or get sleephones and try to block the neighbors with the noise..also considering the anker sleep buds. My neighbors are not that loud, just occasional foot steps middle of the night but when my nervous system is not regulated I cannot tolerate any disturbances. If I keep waking up I loose any hour of decent sleep.

[@For2nArtem]

Bose so much comfortable against A10, I still sleeping in unworking bose (i have both A10 and sleepbuds2)

[@jkl.guitar]

great breakdown! And a good solution, thank you!

[@famicucci23]

I bougth them more than 1 year ago. They are amazing to sleep better and I love them, but the problem in my case is that my sleepbuds have technical problems aparently because of the battery, and when I wanted to execute the warranty some months ago to solve this problem, they said me "The product is no more available" and they wanted to give me a normal headphones, really useless for me. So I'm still trying to solve the problem with Bose but now already out of the warranty. I know the patent of this products is owned now by Ozlo, and I really hope they fix cases like this toghether.

[@Carlos-qs7zi]

Anker is not even close..I don't know what are you talking about!

[@kot1pelto]

The problem with the Soundcore is the volume doesn't get as loud as the Bose.

[@markusmarkus9611]

Thanks for the explanation and thanks all for your reviews I’m seriously thinking about buying them as I live close to a busy street + noisy neighbours Do you think it will work ?

[@kalesan6887]

[@beccarowley1034]

But I want to know more about the new ear buds you recommended.. what batteries do they use and will they last longer than Bose?

[@peeperfrog3547]

Loved these. I got a refurbished pair (IIs) in my price range. All of a sudden recently, one earbud wouldn't connect. I saw advice online to uninstall and reinstall the App. Just uninstalled and the App is not available anywhere. Now they are useless.

[@DR-gx2cb]

I own both the Quieton's as well as the Bose sleepbuds. I am a real consumer - this is not some fake review. Four months after I purchased the Quieton's, the sound cancelling feature stopped working making the product useless. After a long six week waiting period, Quieton replaced the earbuds. Guess what, four months later, the same thing happened the noise cancelling failed. Changing the foam earpieces did not do anything. Quieton refused to do anything saying their liability is limited to the cost of the earbuds. I was entitled to just this one replacement and they were not standing by their product. Tough luck. $300 out the window. Don't deal with this company. They have a problem with their product and they refuse to own up to it. Bose at least stood behind their product.

[@augustor.2431]

I hope they make a third version of it! 🙏🏻

[@haogu-qu5iv]

take a look at ozlo sleepbuds, this is basically sleepbuds III without being named by bose.

[@natskar]

That’s too bad I was gonna buy a pair a few days ago until I just could not find them at all. Figured maybe my memory failed me..but I suppose they were just discontinued, what a shame

[@jzz8860]

I had these sleep buds a few years ago, but they didn't work because I lost them during my sleep. and to be honest, a real noise-cancellation headphone such as AirPods Pro 2nd or Sony wf-1000xm4 is so much better, the downsize obviously is that you can't turn over during sleep.

[@iraklimgeladze5223]

I think the best solution should neckband, it give you wireless capabilities and should make ear tips very small with anc

[@jzz8860]

@@iraklimgeladze5223 That is a great idea, but I prefer to not to put any string on my ears, But neckband is actually a really good eye-mask.

if you are trying to drown out a sound by putting another sound louder all you are doing is damaging your ears

I’ve been through so many products in a futile attempt to get anc and side sleep. The quiet on 3.1 were the absolute worst. Was lucky to get my money back, as I bought them from a local Australian company. Lots of other people had a really tough time getting refunds directly from the company. I’ve given up.

And it was quite a difficult chat too, my questions weren’t answered and most of the sentences were hard to understand. Keep looking for a way to solve this, the shop where I bought the buds might be able to help.

[@Iromzy]

The con of this buds is the closed system. I just using it prob around 2 year and absolute every sound makes me annoying, and fkn bose system prohibits to download a lofi sound, or just another chill sound on board. FE there is a sleep cycle app, and it also have sounds for sleeping. and the library of sounds is so good in contrast w sleepbuds
