Sleepphones

By Joe Dormir

No matter how good your headphones are, if you're anything like me they don't tend to last all that long. It may be because I use them a lot, occasionally step on them or just like to fall asleep with them on but most end up needing to be replaced within a few months.

If you're like me and sleep with your headphones on a lot, you'll want headphones that are comfortable and cancel out background noise. When you don't as much background noise to compete with you can have the overall volume set lower - this will save your hearing over time. Whether you travel or just like to go to bed listening to your media player Sleepphones may be a good option for you. They are especially designed for the user to wear whilst going to sleep.

The Sleepphones package comes with minimal packaging which is good for the environment, and consists of two polar fleece headbands in two different colours. This is worn like any head band and the ear phones are located within the band with an extra long cable running out the back.

This is perfect for colder climates, but you may be concerned if you live somewhere warmer. Sleepphones don't seem to make you too hot during the night but also act like a sweat band, typical of athletes in the 80's. So this is perfect for those wishing to live out there sports fantasies whilst going to sleep.

Sound quality is key to any good set of headphones and Sleepphones deliver, at least to some extent and enough for the purpose they are intended for. Whilst they don't offer the best level of noise-cancellation and the sound may spill out a bit, the actual sound quality is decent. The Sleepphones are not exactly on par with expensive yet quality brands such as Bose and Sennheiser, they are comfortable and have material protection between the ear and the speaker. This makes them more comfortable to go to sleep with and ultimately protects the speaker a little. - 14100
