I can't sleep in total silence, and I'm not alone. There are a lot of people who like background noise while they wait for the Sandman, whether it's music, the TV, or one of those weird ASMR videos on YouTube. If your partner isn't a fan of such ambient noise (and/or if you snore like a bear, as I tend to do), check out these CozyPhones Sleep Headphones, on sale for $16 for Prime members. The name is a bit misleading: it's actually a soft mesh headband with built-in speakers that you put on when you hit the bag. Call them whatever you want; I call them genius! Looking for a gift for that special someone? Pick this up - I promise they won't see it coming.
Why is this a good deal?
You can't put a price on a good night's sleep, but at just $16, these headphones cost a lot less than a sleep test. Let them rock you to sleep, accompanied by your favorite tunes.
Why do I need this?
My favorite products are products that score high on shape And feature, and these phones check both boxes in a big way. Thanks to the wrap-around design, the speakers send sound directly to your ears, without disturbing the person sleeping next to you. At the same time, they fit snugly without being too tight; their construction dips below the ears to hold the speakers in place, but that snugness doesn't compromise breathability. And their mesh softness ensures they don't bother you your slumber even if you sleep on top of it.
Admittedly, there is one feature that may pose a problem for some: these are not Bluetooth. They connect to devices via a 3.5mm audio jack via a cord coming out the back. But The cord is 150 cm long and made of braided material, so you never have to worry about it getting tangled.
Oh, and good news for sweaty sleepers: the speakers and cable are detachable, so just pop them out when it's time to wash the band and you'll have it smelling fresh in no time.
This headband makes a fantastic gift! It's cheap, well thought out, and something they'll use all year long - all the requirements for a truly great stocking stuffer.
What reviewers say
"The ultimate solution for a snoring partner!!!" said a happy woman. "These headphones are exactly what I've needed for 20 years! My husband snores. Loudly. We've tried so many things over the years. First, trying to fix his snoring. He even had surgery, nothing helped... This is definitely the best solution I've found so far.' This could have been written by my wife.
Another fan says: "These are incredibly comfortable for me to use while sleeping. I don't feel the earbuds at all. I use a CPAP machine so I'm already used to being tethered to something so maybe that will help that! The earbuds do slide around in the band, so I have to adjust that occasionally, but overall I love it. No more earache from earbuds! The band was very tight when I first tried it, but he stretched out very quickly...."
"If you've ever seen winter earmuffs, these are like that, but made of breathable, super lightweight material (like moisture-wicking gym material)," explains this satisfied sleeper. "These are comfortable to wear while sleeping, and you don't have to take them off. The earphones are completely flat, so you can rest your head without feeling anything pressing on your ear, and the cord (which is quiet, long) and flexible) is located at the back of your head. I can toss and turn at night without getting confused."
