Recently received my 2 sleepband pro's...
I have been trying to get ahold of support for 3 days now, even messaging then through Facebook...
I have received no response.
The device is very uncomfortable, and the left speaker has no cushion surrounding it, making it both very uncomfortable and moves around freely so you spend a stressful 5 minutes each time you put the band
on or move it just trying to get the stupid speaker back into the correct spot over your ear.
I want to take advantage of the 30 day satisfaction guarantee to return and get my money back. But unfortunately they are un-contactable.
I'm hopeful that leaving this review gets a response as it seems the only thing they care about!!!

Hi Francis,
Thank you for reaching out to us. At the time you were contacting us, we unfortunately had an employee that was sick and this caused us to fall behind. I have reviewed your account and it shows your refund was submitted and my team successfully helped you! We hope you have a great weekend. Take care!

SleepBand Pro Review (good for back sleepers..maybe)
Ordered these when they were half price (RRP$99) with high hopes considering their advertising.
The GOOD
- Comfortable & breathable material
- blocks light very well
- can take call without removing band
- components can be removed so the band can be washed
- speakers sound clear & can be adjusted to suit the individual
- comes with a pouch
- prompt & easy delivery
- comes with thank you card to download instruction manual
And now for the BAD...
- the control panel is thick and placed in an awkward position. If you are a side sleeper it can (and does) dig into your face
- the controls are supposed to be multi-functional but they are finnicky. (A single press will skip the song and holding the button is used to lower/ raise the volume) I found it frustrating trying to adjust the volume even slightly, but instead kept skipping the song because It wasn't held down long enough. Also double clicking the play button will make a call. So that's fun...
- the speakers are very lightly padded & cause discomfort when on your side. If you manage to get them into a comfortable position they will move easily during sleep so you can wake with some pain before readjusting
- the wiring is very flimsy and the cabling can get in the way
- Does NOT block out sound. Is not sound isolating. If you want to block out sound you will have to raise the volume over the noise
- the "instruction manual" isn't so much about technical information, as it is promoting the product further. There is no information regarding how to connect, how controls work, charge time, battery capacity and length, tech specs, warnings, etc.
After ordering, delivery and testing, I would say that this might be good for someone who sleeps exclusively on their back.. but definitely not at full price. The electronic components seem cheap, wrapped in a nice covering..
They do offer a 30 day guarantee if you aren't happy with the product which I may chase up.

Hi Nour, thank you very much for this detailed feedback. We welcome the good and bad, to help improve our product. First, thank you for the kind words about the good in our SleepBand. Next, if you don't mind I'd like to talk more about the bad, in our SleepBand:
Yes, the control panel can seem uncomfortable if you only sleep on one side the entire night. The controls are meant to be easy for you, but we can understand at first use, it may be frustrating. The wiring is meant to be able to remove, so you can wash the SleepBand, therefore it cannot be a thick cable. Yes, you must listen to music or sounds in order to block out the noise completely. We want you to be comfortable while blocking noise out. At this time, the only complete noise canceling headphones are big, bulky, heavy, completely cover your ears and probably cost more than $150. Lastly, the user manual. I believe you may have seen our E-Book instead of the manual. When you first receive your order, there is a white card with a QR Code to scan to gain the manual link and the Ebook. The manual link is located on the first or second page, then the remainder of the pages are tech info, sleep sound apps and promotions. I can promise you our user manual is different and has all the information you stated you needed, above. Here is the link to download: http://sleepband.com/manual. We are trying to use the least amount of paper possible, to help our planet, this is why the manual has become digital. Also, it's great because you can access it anytime, anywhere!
Thank you so much for your time Nour. Again, we appreciate and respect your feedback. Have a wonderful day and take care!

I put the Sleepband on ONCE and immediately knew I could not sleep in it. The headphones and controls on the side are hard and not comfortable.
Sleepband's website promises "100% guaranteed" that it's the most comfortable sleep mask. Yet they won't even return my emails asking to return it. Don't waste your money!!

Hello Hailey, we are very sorry for the delays and for any inconvenience this may cause. We will check for you email now and provide assistance. We do offer a 30-day risk-free trial. Thank you for your time and talk to you soon!

Just amazing!
Hello...I absolutely love my sleepband...and this company. I, a while ago had purchased a knock off brand of the sleepband, and it was good, but the charging mechanism went bad. I ordered the sleepband that is the top style, it is very thick, light blocking. I had an issue with it and contacted the company and was communicating with Ashley, who was great btw...very responsive and helpful. My issue was with the earbuds moving around inside the band, I felt that the on/off button was very hard to use. Ashely recommended a video and I did watch it, but in the end, it was just too frustrating for me to use the band. Ashley was happy to replace it with the original sleepband, she let me know that it had been shipped and gave me the tracking info. I received the replacement and it is soooo nice, very easy to use and the sound is amazing...and everything stays in place!!!
So, for anyone thinking about purchasing one, I say go for it!! It really is a great product and the company is even better! Just to let you all know, I purchased it because I have a wonderful husband...but he snores!! I listen to relaxing music alternating with strong thunder storms and it blocks out his snore! I also have type 1 diabetes and wear a continuous glucose monitor which is connected to my phone, if I have a low or a high reading, I am able to hear the alarm.
So thank you sleepband...and especially Ashley!!
Andrea ;-)

Both Models are great for different uses.
Thank you so so much, for my 2 SleepBand models, they just arrived in the mail today, very quick delivery to Australia, only 10 days total. I ordered both the SleepBand classic, and the SleepBand Pro models
I have tried them both out and yes both are amazing for different uses. The original sleep band model is fantastic if you are just chilling out, walking around, exercising or lying down and don’t want full light blackout sleep. I particularly love the new model of the SleepBand Pro (soft, comfortable and full light blockout). I am even converted from the old model!. The controls on the side are very thin and not noticeable at all if sleeping on your side. The same speakers in both models are extremely thin and large, even more than the original SleepBand Pro model, and the sound is fantastic! A friend bought an inferior knock off copy online and the speaker quality was terrible. They were so jealous of my Sleep Band! You can also double tap on the Middle button to activate Siri, and also make and receive phone calls and chat with the inbuilt microphone and the quality is great just like my AirPods.
All round, both models are great product! The price is well worth it for the quality, don’t try inferior models.

I ordered and paid for my sleep band but received nothing. I sent countless emails and got no response then all of a sudden I get a refund for less than a quarter of what I had paid. Total scam
Response from sleepband.comAug 18, 2021
Hi Barbara, we are very sorry for any inconvenience that may have occured. I reviewed your order. We have no problem submitting the full refund but I'd like to explain what happened, so there isn't any confusion. There are comments on FaceBook that you left asking where your order was. My customer service team responded and it shown on the tracking website there was a delay due to the courier, not us. Our customer service team submitted a courtesy 20% refund for the long delay, again due to the courier. The only email I seen is yesterday, now asking for the full refund. We want you to know, our customer's come first and we appreciate you. But please understand we aren't a scamming company. We will provide a full refund and you can keep the product. It show's your SleepBand was delivered today. Thank you for your time and take care!
