I always liked listening to audiobooks while falling to sleep, and I only these headphones make it comfortable to wear while lying sideways on a pillow. Since I purchased them I use them everyday and I find them comfortable, useful, and practical.
I’m impressed with the sound quality and the comfort of the fabric.
The sound comes from small circular speakers about 2 cm in diameter which are hidden underneath the fabric, and every time you put these headphones on you have to adjust these circles until they lie over your ears. When you sleep on your side your ears do feel some pressure from the lying on top of the small speakers and it is slightly uncomfortable, but I am still able to fall asleep wearing these headphones.
Because the sound comes from small speakers, the person lying next to you can hear a tiny bit of noise, more than they would hear from other styles of headphones like “Over the ear” or “Ear buds”, but it has not bothered my sleep partner yet.
The estimated battery life of 9 hours is accurate. I find they can last me at most two nights, even though I’m not listening for 4.5 hours a night, but I commonly leave the audiobook running after I fall asleep which drains the battery.
There are 3 buttons. The ON-OFF button functions as expected, but the two volume control buttons are annoying to use as it is very difficult to adjust the volume by exactly one level. To adjust the volume, you must LONG PRESS the button for about a second, but if you continue to hold it the volume will continue to go lower/higher. So you have to hold the button for exactly right amount of time to adjust the volume by one position, and if you hold it too short, it will FAST FORWARD instead, and if you hold it too long, it will adjust multiple levels.
The designers could have solved this problem by making the VOLUME button adjust with a single press… and have the TRACK FORWARD with a long press.
I would absolutely recommend buying these to anyone who wants to sleep with headphones on. I only pointed out several drawbacks because they are small imperfections that could be improved in the next version, and I hope the manufacturers read this review.
