I bought this headphone hoping it would replace the multitude of wired headphones I had with snapped wires from sleeping. The headphones and wireless charger work extremely well, the problem is my head feels very hot, and I bought the "Breeze" version. There is no airflow around your head and ears and I eventually pull them off after less than 20 minutes of sleep.
Maybe the acousticsheep would work in cold countries but in tropical climates its very uncomfortable. It was an expensive investment and I am not sure what to do with it.

Edit the drop downs
The website is a little confusing to navigate, especially regarding the drop down options when selecting a variant of the product you want. I would recommend that the pictures that show the example product be arranged in the same order as the drop down options. Also it would be helpful if the runphones options had the little banner guides like the sleepphones options do.

Changed my life but not without some hassles
I have good and bad things to report. First of all I had great difficulty charging the unit. The drawing was not as clear as it could have been. Not until I watched every single video until the very last one did I reach the correct tutorial that clearly explained how easy it was to place the sleep phone on the charger. I felt foolish as it really is easy as it is a magnet. There should had been a link to the tutorial to help people understand more clearly.
The next problem I encountered was pairing. It took a long time to pair with my iPhone. I’ve paired several sets of ear phones quite easily to my iPhone before and do not understand why I encountered this difficulty. I finally succeeded. It was wonderful getting a great night’s sleep for the first time in years! Thank you, Acoustic Sheep!
However, after two great nights I couldn’t get the phones to pair again. I finally resorted to having to pair them with my iPad. I wish someone could explain this to me. By the way, since I live in a warm, humid climate I chose the breeze fabric and find it very comfortable. Also, I would like to know if it makes any diffference in whether the left or right ear pads are on the correct sides because I intentionally wear the phones in reverse, so to speak, as an eye mask to block out the light. I don’t know if it makes a difference to which side the brain is receiving which sound wave. All I know for sure is that it is working well for me and by getting a good night’s sleep I have much less severe pain every day which is remarkable. If it were not for the initial problem and the continuing pairing hassles I would rate these phones five stars. Also, I was told there were free binaural beat apps for the acoustic sheep but I can not find them. If there are any, there should have been a link listed as well as the tutorial link. Can a second Breeze headband be purchased to use while the first one is being laundered? Thank you in advance for any help with these issues.
Response from SleepPhones®Sep 12, 2018
Dear Patricia,
Our sincerest apologies for the difficulty you experienced! When placing the Bluetooth® module on the charging base, please make sure that it is facing down on the induction charger. This means that when you feel it as it is charging, it should be a flat surface with the three buttons pointing toward the charging base. Also, the speaker plug on the module will need to be positioned on the opposite side of the micro USB port on the charging base. When positioned correctly, you will feel a magnetic attraction between the Bluetooth® module and the charging base. You might need to move the module a bit within the headband as the fabric / hook and loop opening might be interfering with the magnets.
When pairing to additional devices or a second device it's crucial to hold the middle, square power button down, for approximately 10 seconds or until you hear the ascending 3 ring tone followed by the continuous beeping. You may need to temporarily disable Bluetooth® on first device you paired to, since the SleepPhones® Effortless™ is designed to pair with the last device it was paired to.
The SleepPhones® are meant to be worn like a headband, but certainly can be lowered over the eyes and used as an eye mask as well. The right speaker has red stitching and the left speaker has green stitching. The softer gray side should be against your ears and the coarser side facing away from your ears.
We do offer an app for Apple devices called SleepPhones® The Beginning which includes 4 tracks with binaural beats. You would be able to find more information about the app on our website here: https://www.sleepphones.com/SleepPhones-App-Improvement
You absolutely would be able to purchase additional headbands for $19.95 on our website here: https://www.sleepphones.com/products/sleepphones/sleep-headband
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team via email ([email protected]) or phone (1-877-838-4790, Monday through Friday, 8am - 5pm EST) and we would be more than happy to assist you!

Comfortable and Clear Sounding
I loves these sleep phones: I can hear the speakers clearly and never have to turn them up all they way. They are easy to set up on blue tooth. They are easy to use while wearing them (on/off, volume control).
I was hoping the band would sit on top of my head, but the only way to set the speakers on my ears is for the band to go across my forehead, which has been hard for me to get use to while sleeping.

It's a nice but not perfect system
It's a nice system. The headband is rationally comfortable and even good to use as a mask. My ONLY issue with the phones, been using them for a number of years, is the quality of the cord that is used. It gets easily kinked and has a bad habit of not working after a couple of years.
My bet is that I am not the only one with cord quality issues.
But otherwise does what it's designed to do.

Generally very happy with the “Effortless Sleep Phone”. As commented in other reviews, the individual speakers tend to shift around in their pockets but not so much as to make them hard to hear...especially when asleep. The electronics/battery also moves which can make the volume controls hard to find and use. With the way things shift around, I hope the wiring from the electronics to the speakers holds up, especially since they get laid on by your head when sleeping. For now, this looks like a good product that will prove to be durable over time.
