Sleep phones are a good idea and it is…
Sleep phones are a good idea and it is useful to be able to listen to music/programs wirelessly without disturbing anyone else (and you don’t like earbuds). However, they are not the best for sleeping with. I’m in a hot climate so couldn’t wear the fleece band, and I spend half the night adjusting the lightweight band so that it doesn’t fall over my eyes, speakers move around, etc. Sound quality is good, but they make my ears ring after about an hour and don’t block out outside noise at all.

Dear CFJ, Our sincerest apologies you are not satisfied with your purchase! The SleepPhones® products were constructed to minimize ambient noises. If you listen to music, you can camouflage outside sounds such as snoring. However, the product does not have any external equipment to eliminate noise. We market the product as noise reducing rather than noise canceling. Our products are not cancelling because we feel that being able to hear a fire alarm or a child monitor in the middle of the night is important. Some of our customers listen to music to calm them which enables them to fall asleep faster, while reducing background noise. Many customers also listen to music all throughout the night and do find that it does help to block out their partner's snoring. Regarding the headband, having the proper size headband (with a snug fit) is crucial not only for comfort but for sound purposes too. A proper fitting headband will prevent the speakers from sliding around while in use as well as the headband slipping. Having too snug of a headband, however, might cause discomfort as the speakers would be pressing into your ears. We would be happy to exchange it for a different size! If you could please fill out the warranty form found on our site and send it in with your headband, we will send you a new headband to insert your speakers into!
