Most earbuds stick out. Your pillow finds them.
Stems and bulky shells sit outside the ear, so lying on your side presses them in. almnd buds have no stem and a smooth, low shape that stays inside the bowl of your ear, with nothing for the pillow to push on.
A typical earphone. The stem and shell sit about 11mm outside the ear, right where your pillow is.
almnd buds. The whole bud sits low in the ear, so the pillow rests on your ear, not the earbud.
However you fall asleep, they fit in.

Questions before bed
Is a hard shell comfortable to sleep on?
The bud is shaped to sit low in the ear, so there's no stem for the pillow to press on. For peace of mind, each pair comes with a 30-night comfort trial.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 14 hours on a single charge at 50% volume, enough for a full night. Pop them back in the case in the morning to recharge. Louder listening uses more battery.
Can I listen all night?
Yes. With up to 14 hours per charge, your podcast, affirmations or playlist can keep playing until morning. Research on all-night sound is mixed, so many people set a sleep timer instead. If you do listen all night, keep the volume low.
Can I use them for affirmations or subliminal audio?
Yes. almnd Sleepbuds play any audio from your phone, including affirmations and subliminal tracks, for up to 14 hours per charge.
Will they work on a plane?
Yes. They're comfortable leaning against a window or neck pillow, noise reduction softens engine and cabin noise, and up to 14 hours of playback covers long flights.
Do they block out noise?
They reduce background noise like traffic, snoring and cabin hum.
Is it safe to sleep with earbuds every night?
Keep the volume low, clean the buds regularly and give your ears a night off now and then.
Which phones do they work with?
Our Sleepbuds are compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled smart phone.
