Great to hear we've saved more than a few marriages

"SleepPhones... WOW!!! You saved my trip to CES. Not knowing the severity of my Vegas roommate's snoring, I could not sleep the entire first night. I ran across SleepPhones and just had to have a pair, and they worked! I got a good night's rest for the remaining days and got to listen to the mellow side of my music library without awakening to a construction zone in my own room."- Alfeo Dixon, Cine & Print Photography

"I love them because they're just so perfect; they're amazing to help me get to sleep. I suffer from acute insomnia and went through a period of waking up at night and being unable to get back to sleep, but now I just slip them on before I go to bed, have a hot milky drink, and sleep with perfect dreams. I've tried loads of sleeping remedies but not many had worked; I'd just got bored of listening and got up again, not asleep, but SleepPhones were just so amazing. I have bad insomnia and have tried many sleeping remedies, such as guided meditations or songs for sleep. None of them worked because they made me irritated and annoyed and I just got up, but SleepPhones and their amazing tracks helped me so much. I just put them on, listen to a track, and doze off to wake up in the morning, refreshed and regenerated."- Clara M.

"I'd been searching for years for the right headphone to sleep with. These sound great, and you don't even notice you're wearing them. I live in a city not too far from a few local bars, and due to a new construction, even whispers seem like shouts in my room. The cops are sick of me calling about noise problems, I'm sure. I just got them today, so we'll see how they hold up. I love listening to podscasts to fall asleep, so hopefully, these do the trick."- Kristy

"I have always slept to the sound of a fan to drown out small noises that keep me awake at night. Recently, my needs changed. My husband became a very heavy snorer in recent years, and the fan noise wasn't cutting it. We started sleeping in separate rooms, or we'd risk losing hours of sleep. I bought my SleepPhones on Groupon in hopes of drowning out my snoring husband. Oh My Gosh! I love SleepPhones! They are so comfortable and paired with a *sound machine app for my iPhone, I'm sleeping like a baby. I especially love the fact that my iPhone alarm still goes off in the morning, regardless of the sounds app going all night, and the SoundPhones being plugged in."- Marlisa

"They are the perfect solution for tinnitus sufferers. No more painful earbuds to sleep with!! They have made my life so much better, as I deal with the tinnitus problem. I do hope it eventually goes away, but until then, I can sleep with my SleepPhones! Can't thank you enough. They are quite soft and comfortable and allow me to listen to my music at night in order to sleep. Thanks!!"- Kelley Middleton

"They are so comfortable around my head, and are perfect for me, since I can't sleep without noise. I sleep better, feel more secure, and enjoy all my sounds. They are comfortable and unobtrusive like earbuds are."- Joe

"I joke that I have not had a good night's sleep since I was pregnant 28 years ago -- but really, it's not that much of a joke. I have been a terrible sleeper for many years, my problem being getting to sleep and staying asleep, and I also suffer from anxiety. I've tried everything -- Excedrin PM, benadryl, melatonin, valerian, warm baths, warm milk, sleepy-time tea, watching Mad Men in the middle of the night -- you name it, I've tried it. I have recently been on an antidepressant that in low doses, is supposed to help you sleep, and it worked okay, for a while. I don't want to be taking more pills. I saw a group on for SleepPhones and was interested enough to look at the website, and then order it. I'm stunned by how well this works -- once I got used to it, I woke up feeling I'd slept better than I have in literally, years. I have for a long time awakened in the morning feeling just as tired as I did when I went to sleep. The SleepPhones have helped me to get the rest that will allow me to actually feel refreshed and as if I've gotten some actual *sleep*. The difference is so great that I almost can't believe it. I downloaded a bunch of mp3's like "Golden Bowls of Compassion," or various binaural beats tracks. I put the SleepPhones on when I get into bed and play a Kindle word game I enjoy before I go to sleep, and after I've played for a little while, I just drift off and have no memory of *trying* to get to sleep. If I wake up at 3 or 4 AM, which I still do, I go right back to sleep. I got myself a tiny SanDisk mp3 player that I clip onto my pj's, and the Sandman now stops by my house every night. If this is a placebo -- who cares? I can't thank you enough."- Elise Wormuth

"I sleep listening to my iPod and the earbuds were so uncomfortable. I bought the SleepPhones after reading some reviews and absolutely love them. The headband stayed in place all night and it was very comfortable. The sounds quality is great as well."- Sherry F.

"I like them because they are convenient and easy to manage/use"- Eric

"I have a Fitbit monitor that monitors my sleep patterns and since I have had the SleepPhones my average time is 7 minutes to fall asleep over a period of a month. Without the SleepPhones it took me an average of one hour and eleven minutes to fall asleep over the span of a month. I would say that is a drastic improvement. They are so comfortable, and they stay in place all night. And unlike most traditional earphones, I don't wake up with the cord wrapped around my neck. I wear them every night. I don't like to place a lot of dependence on material items, but I really think I would be lost without them! As a side sleeper, having earbuds or other earphones in my ears would always bother me and were painful. The SleepPhones are so comfortable. I don't feel them at all. I don't recommend a lot of products, but this is one that I tell Everyone about just because it has improved my quality of life so much."- Jaimie P.

I love my SleepPhones! I sometimes have restless sleep due to stress from work. I put on the SleepPhones and it soothes me to sleep. It helps to clear my mind from my worries of day. I love my SleepPhones, thank you Doctor OZ (I won them on The Dr Oz Show). My husband works early hours and when he gets home he takes a nap during the day. The SleepPhones help him to relax and they drown out the light and noise. He loves it. I need to buy him his own pair."- Yvonne Gonzalez

The fabric is SO soft, and the headband fits great. Most comfortable night I've had in a long while, trying to listen to my meditations and relaxing music. THANK YOU for a great product!"- JC

I love SleepPhones because they are a very comfortable, all-in-one piece that stays on throughout the night. Thanks so much for contributing to a restful and peaceful night's sleep."- Ian

"The comfortable band and earpiece inside the band fabric makes it easy to fall asleep to the music. The soothing music I picked helped me fall asleep."- Oanh

"My husband has always been a night owl, often paying the price the next day. He would drink energy drinks to get through the day. The cycle would start over. The TV cycle was there, too. Needed to have the TV on to fall asleep. However, the TV entertainment would keep him up. Vicious cycle #2. Now he puts on his SleepPhones and listens to various ESPN Podcasts. No more than 3 minutes until he is sound asleep! Thank you SleepPhones!!! Everyone in my family has a pair."- Shannon

"I love it!! Since I received them (I won them on the Dr Oz show)my sleep has improved greatly. The music is so soothing and unlike regular phones that come off as you turn because of the headband they stay on through the night."- Roxanna Cruz

"I can put my relaxing music on and go to sleep without worrying about bulky headphones."- Janet Hale

"Comfortable , easy to use! The fact that they are in a head band is amazing they dont hurt my ears like regular ear buds and I dont get tangled up in the wire its amazing! SleepPhones have helped with my need to sleep with noise on and not disturb my husband. I have to be listening to music or tv in order for me to fall asleep, I have always had problems sleeping and this is an amazing invention!!"- Cammy

"I love SleepPhones! My husband had a narrowing of his windpipe so he had to have a tracheal resection. It helped his breathing tremendously but not my sleep! He came home from the hospital and has been snoring loudly ever since. It actually sounds like its coming from his vocal cords. I had to kick him out of our beautiful king size bed into our daughters small bed (she was away at college). It was not good for our marriage at all. I had to find a way to get him back in our room. I needed my sleep and I couldn't sleep with the noise he was making. SleepPhones saved our marriage. I went online and found the SleepPhones when I was looking for ear buds for my iphone. I have a sleep machine app but I didn't want to bother him so your product was perfect. I even have my alarm on my phone. Last night he was away on a golf trip and I slept with the sleepPhones anyway. I love the soothing wind sound I hear before I fall asleep. I fall asleep instantly too. The best part is I like to sleep on my side and the sleepphones allow me to do that comfortably. My only complaint was that the average size (fits most) was too big for me so I had to buy the smaller size. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SLEEPPHONES!"- Wendy Gemmell

"The quality is great. The headphones are very comfortable. I use my headphones every night and it helps to calm and refocus my busy mind. My sleep has improved tremendously since owning this product..."- Dawn

"I always had trouble sleeping and had even used Ambien for over a year. Then I found Sleepphones and haven't used it since. I have a few playlists that I created in iTunes for sleeping, sometimes meditation first, then sleeping. I put my sleepphones on, iPod under the pillow. See you at 6 am :) One of the reasons I had a hard time sleeping is that I am a light sleeper and my husband snores. I have purchased a number of them and sent them to my kids and friends since I like them so much. I can't believe Apple or Bose hasn't done something like this - smart you!"- Terry

"They are so comfortable. The soft, warm material is super cozy. I can't imagine trying to sleep with regular headphones anymore. I usually need to listen to an audio book as I fall asleep, but I don't want to disturb my partner. With sleep phones, I can listen to books privately, while still being comfortable and cozy. It's much easier to fall asleep now that I have SleepPhones"- Célèste

"I received my sleepphone last week and I love it! I look forward to going to bed every night now. My husband snores and I am a light sleeper. We have used a fan for the white noise but it just wasn't enough so we tried a sound machine also. He wears a nasal strip every night and they help but it was coming to the point where we were going to have to sleep separately. Not any more! A great purchase and money well spent! My sound machine has a headphone hook up and I listen to the sound of my choice rather than his snoring! If your husband/wife snores, buy this product! You won't regret it!"- Pam, MI

"I just wanted to let you know that your SleepPhones have changed my life and I am not kidding when I say that! My husband snores terribly and we mostly sleep apart and it has been this way for years. When we would sleep in the same bed, I would wear earplugs and my ears would be raw and hurting after the second night from trying to twist and turn them to keep them in my ears. I now sleep like a baby AND in total comfort. I have told anyone that will listen how wonderful these are…they are truly amazing! PLEASE tell Wei-Shin Lai, MD that she has literally changed my life and I cannot thank her enough!"- Kirsten W., TX

"First of all, let me say how much I love my SleepPhones. I used to listen to my audiobooks through my speakers (much to the annoyance of my boyfriend who needs absolute silence to go to sleep) because wearing regular headphones was so uncomfortable--especially if I had my head to one side. I'm also very sensitive to light when falling asleep and my boyfriend's nightly ritual usually includes reading in bed. I actually started pulling the SleepPhones over my eyes so I could use them as an eye mask. They're a little big but they work great!"- Dana S., MD

"Just to conclude – these headphones have saved my marriage and I sleep beautifully and serenely every night. I simply cannot summon words to indicate how pleased I am with them."- Peter, Australia

"Thank you soo much for giving me the deep sleep I have been missing for the past few months! They showed up at my job on last monday afternoon, I took them home and was actually excited to go to sleep that night! It took me a few nights to get used to them, but thanks to them, I've slept thru the night, slept more soundly than I have in the past 3-4 months, and I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face my day. I don't feel tired throughout the day anymore! I can't thank you enough for the product:)"- Kim M., UT

"Hi, I just got my SleepPhones and couldn’t wait to tell how great they are. I can’t believe such wonderful sound comes from something so small and soft. I have to wear a CPAP at night and the machine just makes too much noise for me. Now, I can tuck these soft little earphones right into my mask straps and listen to anything I want. I wish I had more ears so I could get more of these. I think I have found my Christmas presents for this year."- Erin B.,

"Last night was the first time in 2 weeks that I slept without @SleepPhones and wow am I tired! I am definitely using them tonight!! *yawn* I forgot to charge my Ipod so I couldn't use them last night. Lesson learned! THANK YOU for making such a wonderful product! My issue is not falling asleep, but falling into a deep sleep as I am/was a light sleeper. The delta wave music knocks me right out :)"- Carla, Edmonton, Canada

"Oh my! This is pretty much the best product I have found in a long while. My husband snores and I am an extreme light sleeper. I have self-hypnosis books on my Ipod and hated having to wear regular head-phones. I always fell asleep with them and the hurt after a while or slide off. I love the SleepPhones System. It stay's on sometimes all night long and I get a very good night sleep. The system is light weight and works like a charm. Thank god I found this item."- H.L., TX

"I love my @SleepPhones. With it, I fall asleep in 15 minutes. Without, it can talk an hour or two. Plus it masks kitty midnight mischief."- Zanthra (Twitter 4/8/10)

"The problem with listening at night is you have to wear headphones. You can sleep in these, and then you can listen to your audiobooks. I love them!"- Leo Laporte of TWiT.tv, CA 

"I must admit I was skeptical when my wife ordered your sleep phones. But we were desperate to find a solution for her not sleeping do to my loud snoring. I do not have apnea, I just snore loud so doctors do not want to prescribe a cpap machine and frankly, I don't want one. But, back to my point.. My wife couldn't sleep and tried several products, ear plugs, white noise generators, etc etc. A friend of ours found your product on google and we ordered one set. The first night was great! My wife slept all night long. The problem came the second night and beyond. My wife began sleeping so well that SHE started snoring. Payback I guess. Well, After a few nights of this, I order your sleepphones for me. Last night was my first night with them and I slept like a baby. Thanks for a great product. I look forward to many peaceful nights"- F. Fields, Lawrenceburg, KY

"My goodness. I've spent the last decade losing sleep for various reasons. Mostly mind chatter in the middle of the night. Getting to sleep wasn't the problem. Waking in the night was problematic in that I found it increasingly difficult to get back to sleep after rousing. I did a lot of research on sleep, a lot of reading, a lot of personal writing. Followed every suggestion, and although I could see some improvement, it wasn't fool proof. One night every thing would be fine, the next would be broken sleep and wakefulness. Last year I bought an mp3 player about the size of a book of matches, a little Sansa Clip, loaded it with music and audio books, and gave that a shot. I figured if I was going to be awake in the night, I could at least be entertained. Worked pretty well, but the ear buds I was using did a number on my temporomandibular joint (TMJ) causing an increase in tooth sensitivity. What to do, what to do. Finding I sleep better with the music and audio books, that became the obvious path to follow. But with what could the ear buds be replaced? Your product. Sweet mother. What a blessing Sleep Phones are. I wake in the night, roll over, slip the band over my head, find whatever best puts me to sleep (currently it's Deepak Chopra reading his own "Buddha") and bang, I'm out like a light. Thanks to your product I'm sleeping better and more consistently now than I have in a very long time. I can't remember the last time I took a sleeping pill. I simply do not head to bed any more without my little mp3 player and my SleepPhones. Just another testimonial for your site. Thanks bunches."- David H., Atlanta, GA

"THANK YOU! They are awesome! My daughter no longer gets out of bed multiple times at night. She gets to sleep easily now. Sleepphones = stressless nights."- Todd, PA

"Ever get on a plane with someone who sees you as a captive audience? Sleep phones work great! Just pull them over your eyes for a nap, listen to the music, and your seatmate will not disturb you again. Works great!"- Deborah, VA

"I have suffered from insomnia for a few years now, and Sleep Phones has enabled me to sleep better. It helped me sleep better, and gets me to sleep quicker. If you have Sleep Phones, you will notice how comfortable they are compared to other audio devices, and they can be used as an eye mask. Thank you so much."- Ian L., Phillipines (http://www.sleeptracksreview.com)

"Thank you so much, being able to listen to the binaural beats at night and in the morning has changed my life! I no longer have to take any sleep medication, which I have taken for more than 10 years! I will be telling all my friends and family about the new SleepPhones!"- Julie Ann M., IN (see Julie's blog)

"I have to tell you that the SleepPhones are absolutely the most amazing thing I've ever used. And I have had a problem for years. I couldn't sleep with someone who snores. And it's the first time I've been able to sleep with someone who snores. ... The product is absolutely incredible."- Robin L., NY

"I LOVE these things and have recommended them to many, many people. I've bought two (my cat tore up my first pair) and my ex has even bought a pair."- Nik, NV

"Although I bought my AcousticSheep package directly, I learned of the product from the National Sleep Foundation. If I had not been researching sleep deficits related to night shift workers, I would probably have never discovered this amazingly helpful product. The use of the AcousticSheep program has made a significant difference in my ability to sleep. Even though I've been on the night shift (11p-7a) for many years, I have been unable to effectively regulate my sleep patterns. It appears that with this system, my sleep patterns are regaining some of their previous regularity. Thank you. ... BTW: the AcousticSleep program is also exceptionally helpful in overcoming the Tinnitus noise disturbances caused by my acoustic neuroma. This was a most welcome relief as it is much more difficult to ignore the tinnitus when attempting to sleep. (Would probably be helpful for Tinnitus period) Thank you for your assistance and more importantly thank you for this product."- Pat J., RN, NY

"The sleep phones are a great product that meets a real need. They're very comfortable and work like a breeze for side-sleepers like me. I'd been dealing with severe exam-related insomnia (lasting for more than two weeks) and sleep phones were by far the most effective of the many natural remedies I tried."- Matthew, Toronto, Canada

"I love my SleepPhones - I use them every single night."- Celia B., FL

"The SleepPhones System - finally, an effective system for everyone who values quality sleep without the inconvenience and side effects of medications."- Greg Prakalapakorn, MD, anesthesiologist, CA

"I am just following up with you. In short, the pulsatile tinnitus for which I purchased the sleepphones was masked well with a low frequency, low pitched mp3 I played on speakers. I slept very well. Sadly, I recently also was stricken, on top of the pulsatile tinnitus, with regular high pitch tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Only traditional whitenoise masks somewhat the this higher frequency tinnitus. Playing a mp3 whitenoise on a speaker is aggravating at night and that is where the sleepphones have proved to be send from heaven. They have literally saved me. I play my low frequency sound on a mp3 and speakers and the high frequency whitenoise on a mp3 and sleepphones. The sleepphones allow me to be abe to keep the volume rather low, making the whitenoise much more pleasant. As such, I can actually sleep. Thank you sincerely, for the sleepphones. I cannot overstate how critical and essential they have been to my wellbeing. I will purchase several more."- Anthony K., Canada

"Love your product, by the way. My autistic son has worn out the last order. He is very sensitive to sounds and these have made his nights much more peaceful. Thank you for this great invention."- Joan S., CA

"I can't thank you enough for this SleepPhone. I haven't slept in months and have tried everything - one week with the SleepPhone system and I've gotten more rest than in the past 6 months. (no kidding) 'Amazing' doesn't even come close to describing this - 'lifesaving' might - you've definitely saved my sanity and my health (and my family's!) Thank you from the bottom of my better-rested-and-improving-every-day heart!"- Sherri O., PA

"I ordered my sleepphones a month ago and love them; they really help with my insomnia."- Joanie R., NJ

"THANK YOU so much for the Sleep Phones. For making them, and for introducing them to me. I use them almost every night. I don't usually have trouble falling asleep, but sometimes it takes me a while (longer than I'd like, especially considering I usually go to bed later than I should). I use the Sleep Phones as a way to ensure that I won't be staring at the ceiling for a half hour thinking about things I can't change."- Carrie P., PA

"hi there acousticsheep! i cannot explain my gratitude enough for your fabulous product! it's only been a week and a half and i haven't slept like this before. i'm telling everyone i know who has ever mentioned to me that they don't sleep well. i work in a mental health facility, and i'm telling all my colleagues who work with clients to see if this is appropriate for them. i've told my acupuncturist so she could tell others. personally, for me, it has stopped my nightmares that plagued me so often. it puts me in that deep dreamless state. i am relaxed. if i wake up in the night at all, i'm back to sleep in a minute (literally) rather than 3-4 hours. i'm waking up refreshed and rested and ready to face my day. i am no longer tired in the day. thank you so much for your product, and your wonderful customer service. i can't wait to spread the word to anyone who mentions to me about poor sleep. i'm carrying the pamphlet with me so i can show people right away. thank you for the reasonable price, as many people who have health problems, often have limited income, and this is in a price range that is affordable. you have changed my life, for the absolute better, and for that i cannot thank you enough."- anonymous

"I slipped the soft band off my head, yawned, stretched and made a cup off coffee. I sat at my iMac to take a few sips, read the news and check email. A "rate your transaction" email was waiting for me. I never read these. Who does? Well, I hope somebody does so they can read this response. When I saw that the email was from AcousticSleep I decided to write [oops out of coffee, wait a sec.]. [OK. I'm back] My "ear pajamas" are one of maybe three products I've purchased that really delivered beyond expectations. The backstory is important: I have an unfortunate, but manageable, condition that prohibits me from sleeping. To deal with this condition (and to minimize the use of medications) I have been listening to radio dramas, music, books on tape and other types of talk programs through headphones since the early 1980's. The sound gives me something to focus on--like a mantra. Only a few headphones I've bought were even remotely comfortable (none were ever satisfying) and I went through these cheap headphones at a rate of about two pair per year (what a waste). My studio-quality headphones are just too bulky to wear at night, and I could never justify ruining a $300 pair of headphones by sleeping in them. Like anyone reading this review, money is always an issue. Now, if we can flash back to the present: I am a professor of digital media at a small university where I teach, among other things, sound design. I am also a musician and have had more than 40 years of ear-training. I never expected the SleepPhones to be of such high quality. The sound is fantastic. The noise rejection from the outside is amazing (just try putting them on inside out one night). And, I can't believe the price. Why I didn't find these before..., I don't know. I hope my raves don't sound like a bad advertisement. I promise you they are most sincere, but alas, I am out of coffee. Sweet dreams"- KCW, PhD, WV

"I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 6 weeks in a row. After such long hours, all I look forward to is a full night of sleep. Since I usually have a roommate, the SleepPhones are absolutely wonderful. I no longer hear either my roommate's snoring or my neighbor's television set. I can actually sleep through the night now. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful product."- Shelly, CO

"You have the best product for insomnia on the market. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep referring friends and family to you."- Gary K., NC

"I was totally delighted with my purchase and the purchase experience. The site and store is well laid out, and the product itself is very high quality and works great! My order was processed quickly and I received the sleepphones just a few days later. I emailed them because I thought my CD was going to come with a rain track (I received a stream track). They apologized and said they would get one out to me within a couple of weeks. They responded to my email promptly, and on a weekend for that matter. I can't say enough nice things about the experience and the product. I totally recommend buying the sleepphones if you have difficulty with a noisy spouse, noisy neighbors, etc. I have been sleeping so much better since I started using my sleepphones. At that price, it's worth the gamble that it might help you with your sleep. Quality sleep makes all the difference in one's day! Give it a try."- Sally G., OR

"First, I want to say how much I have enjoyed your product. I listen to my Zune hours at a time and the ear plugs were just bothersome and painful (I'm a side sleeper). So, outstanding product, love it."

"Absolutely loving the product thus far. Best thing I bought in a while."- Liam E., IL

“I was looking for high quality headphones that might be used during sleep both for myself and my patients for quite a long time. The problem was that either the headphones were inconvenient, or the sound quality was not good enough for therapeutic / treatment / personal development applications. Googling internet I found sleepphones web site and decided to give sleephones a try. Sleepphones arrived very quickly with clear instructions and CD with special soundtracks for better sleep. I personally found tracks on enclosed CD worked better then mp3 files downloadable from the site. Headphones are very light and soft, sit steady on the head but do not squeeze the temples as many headphones do, lying on the side is comfortable, i.e. there is no pressure on ear, the cord is located in such a way that turning in bed does not pull it. Unlike other headphones I tried before they help to fall asleep rather than awake you due to pressure on ear or cord pulling. I tried sleepphones with a few programs listed below using Koss KSC-75, Sennheiser PX100, and Sony MDR-V900 for comparison of sound quality and applicability: 1. Soundtherapy programs (filtered and specially processed classic music) for treatment of tinnitus (noise in ears) and many other problems. In order to use headphones for soundtherapy they should reproduce with minimal distortion and attenuation frequencies from 8Khz to 16 (and preferably 18-20) KHz. Also, the headphones should have good dynamic range, as difference between maximum and minimal sound level in soundtherapy programs may be quite substantial. I found that sleephones were excellent for this purpose. Many people (statistics says up to 15% of all population) suffer from tinnitus and sleep problems / insomnia caused by noise in ear(s). I believe sleepphones can be used very efficiently to address this problem in 3 different ways: - listening to Soundtherapy music CD/tape (in repeat mode) at night, as recommended by developers of this method. - listening to tinnitus masking recording, e.g. white noise or music with superimposed noise / “hiss” sound which frequency is close to the tinnitus sound frequency. I guess it is also possible to mix masking sound with binaural beats on the enclosed CD and get even better results. - listening to the Neuromonics tinnitus treatment device through sleepphones at night (I have not tried it but the sound reproduction of sleepphones seem to be compatible with the Neuromonics). 2. The Holosync programs. Headphones should reproduce the lower part of the spectrum (low frequencies). I only tried levels 1 and 2 Holosync and sleephones did a good job. 3. Subliminal recordings. I believe dynamic range is important for this purpose and sleepphones seem to work well, I can hear very quiet affirmation in pauses. Naturally, sleepphones are not HiFi headphones for general music listening (though you can listen music and the sound quality is quite good). However they are invaluable for those who suffer from insomnia, tinnitus, some other problems, or for those who want to use them for personal development. I have no hesitation in recommending sleepphones."- Dr Boris Golembo, Osteopath, ND Australia

First let me just say I have been a very satisfied sleepphone customer from the first day it arrived. I have been meaning to write and give you my review/praise for a while. So I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. (If you are time restrained fell free to skip below). I am one of those people that have to listen to something to sleep. I may be a little unusual in that I have to listen to audiobooks or sometimes music to sleep. In 2004 several health problems I had progressed to the point I was pretty much bedridden. Since I had no control over my body's condition I was determined not to let my mind atrophy also. I became an audiobook addict :) because most of the time I was so fatigued I couldn't even read books. Talk about frustrating to a previous 4 sport playing, annoyingly energetic, young adult that loved books. This started my search for a system that would allow me to listen to audio without making everyone else suffer. I have since had the blessing of regaining some of my previous health and capability of moving on with my life :) but I have the quirk now that my mind will not stop trying to solve world peace and other complex problems when I would try to sleep. I tried many things but the only thing that would work is to distract my mind with something else while not requiring too much brain power. Audiobooks save the day again. Maybe my mind missed all the stories :) I had tired MANY MANY products that promised that you can listen while you sleep from speaker pillows to ear covers with speakers to plain old headphones. None of these products worked for me. Speaker pillows where only one ear at a time and lets face it who doesn't move in their sleep. After having to have the sound blaring to try to compensate for only hearing sound from one ear, needing to have your ear in just the right spot to hear at all, and having to wake up to fetch the pillow from wherever it got notched off the bed to I gave up on those. The little ear speakers wouldn't stay on and was bulky they were uncomfortable so those were worthless. The best fit had been the plain old headphone, though those left me in pain by morning and at one point I was even getting calluses on my ears due to the constant irritation to my ears from hard plastic rubbing all night. Luckily after unthinkable hours of searching I stumbled upon your product. Hallelujah! Sleepphones were my savior. I got the all around sound that regular headphones gave me without the pain, I didn't have to chase it around the bed and floor in the middle of the night and it stayed on! After a week I emailed my extended family with a link to your website and praise for your product. I knew from conversations and family reunions that several of my family had to you different sound Cd's/devices to sleep every night and some only needed it for family reunions :) And I have since got "favorite niece" status from one Aunt and several happy cousins. It's easy to say your a family favorite. And once I started working nights as a hospital nurse I'm even more grateful, since, lets face it the world is noisy when everyone (except night shift workers) are awake. All this is to say THANK YOU for a awesome, wonderful, great, splendorous, and for me a health improving product."- Jena Z., TN

"The merchandise arrived fine - didn't expect it to be in a bag instead of a box but all the items were in good working condition. My husband LOVES the head phones! He has had two nights of continuous 7 hours sleep now - first in several months following his heart attack. Thanks!"- Rosetta H., FL

"It's been years since I slept really well. Three years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and now I sleep with a CPAP machine. That helped a LOT for quite a while, but in the last few months I have getting more tired during the day. I bought a Sleeptracker watch to wake me up at a good time. That helps me feel better in the morning, but after a few hours I'm tired. I'm ready for a nap around 10:30, and have trouble staying awake at my desk. Besides waking me up, the Sleeptracker keeps track of near-awake moments (based on movement) throughout the night. Looking at that data, I have concluded that my sleep cycle is backward. I understand a "normal" sleep cycle to be deep sleep, then less deep, then deep again for a shorter period, then increasingly lighter until you wake, with the lightest sleep and most dreams coming in the hours before waking. My data show that I sleep very lightly until about 4 AM. The longest period between "almost awake" moments according to my Sleeptracker is around 20 minutes on average. Then, starting sometime between 4 and 5 AM I'll have 1 or 1.25 hours. I hypothesize that this is my only delta sleep period, and it's coming shortly before I wake up - which is between 5:30 and 6. In the last week I've purchased some SleepPhones (www.sleepphones.com). I LOVE THEM. I recommend them if you want to listen to anything in bed without worrying about earphones or headphones staying in/on all night. I have been trying to use binaural beat tracks played from my iPod to make my sleep cycle better. I put on the SleepPhones, then my CPAP mask, and listen all night. So far, no dramatic changes, but two days ago I had a deep sleep period that started around 3 AM and lasted 2.25 hours. That morning I woke up around 5:15 (before my alarm) feeling GREAT! I didn't get tired during the day until early evening. It's amazing what even 1 more hour of rest can do for you. Aside from that night, I haven't had any longer deep sleep periods, but I think my sleep overall is more restful, because I'm not quite as tired during the day on average."- BBacher, IN

"Wow! Thank you very much. I truly am very pleased with your SleepPhones."- William S., WI

"I would like to thank you for your great job. SleepPhones are just great and I'm totally satisfied that I bought them! You, guys, are best :P."- Krejd, Poland

"Since getting it I listen to it every night and sometimes for those great Sunday afternoon naps. I listen primarily to classical and new age music as well as various books."- Tom N., OH

"I have tried all sorts of contraptions and inventions to try to get a good nights sleep, and block out my partners snoring. Now with the sleepphone sytem I have found the perfect solution to all my sleepless nights. Its comfortable and easy to wear and the sound is soothing and and best of all I can play any of my own white noise cds and adjust the sound to my own liking, with the repeat settings on my cd player and have it going all night.I really recommend this system to block out all outside noise."- Peter R., Australia

"I received my new sleep headphone set yesterday and used it last night. The binary sound over the nature sound will take a bit of getting used to but I did sleep well last night and did NOT hear my husband snore!!!!"- Diane K., TX

"I just wanted to let you know that I have received my SleepPhones and I am delighted with them! Considering I sent you a special order for my XXXL sized head on a Saturday evening, the speed of production, dispatch and delivery to the U.K. was superb! I received them Thursday morning so 6 days to complete a transatlantic order is mighty impressive considering also the 4 Day Easter break in the middle as well. I have waited a few days to thank you to check that they worked as well as expected and I have no faults and will recommend them whenever I can!"- Richard Y., UK

"Hi, my husband has a set of sleepphones and we've been really pleased with them -- we're based in the UK. Anyway, I'd like to buy a pair for my brother as he likes listening to the radio in bed and it drives his girlfriend crazy..."- Rachel G., UK

"I posted about these already some time ago - and I have to say: YEP! This is the solution for all who want to use their iPod or personal CD player for brainwave entrainment while sleeping (e.g. for insomnia, or for training lucid dreaming and OBEs). No more earbuds slipping out, no fatty headphones preventing sleep, no more problems when turning and moving around in your sleep."- Brainwaver's Blog

"First I would like to say your sleepphones are amazing! I would always want to listen to music to ease myself to sleep but I found all other headphones uncomfortable, due to the way i position myself when I sleep. The sleepphones are very comfortable and combined with the binaural beats that are included I can get to sleep very easily and the colors are pretty snazzy too!"- Brandon C., NJ

"I just had cancer surgery and infections and complications, and your earphones and my ipod are the best medicine!"- R. S. Wenocur, Ph.D, PA

"After another excellent week of sleep... I definitely get a stereo affect and can hear the background beats quite well, so I'm happy. The wave sounds in Newport Waves are much more real than my old machine which was pretty good! I love the deeper sound affects as well. I am sleeping much better in general."- Susan K., VT

"I absolutely love this band! I have tried nearly every natural remedy on the market for sleeping. I had also tried an alarm clock that had nature sounds built into it. It seemed to help a little, but my husband got tired of listening to the ocean or birds all night!! I had cronic insomnia and some days I got up in the morning so exhausted I didn't know how I was going to get thru the day. I came across the Sleep Phones and decided to try it. I will admit that I was pretty skeptical because nothing else seemed to work. What a pleasant surprise these were! I had also ordered the Delta Sleep System CD with the Sleep Phones. It's been going on a month now and I can't imagine going to bed without them. Not only do I fall asleep easier, but if I do wake up during the night, I am able to fall asleep again easily. Before if I woke up at, say, 2:00 am (which was normal for me) I'd be up for the rest of the night. The SleepPhones are extremely comfortable to wear and the sound quality is excellent. I have since ordered a few more CD's for a little variety. I would highly recommend this product for anyone having trouble sleeping."

"I absolutely love them! I have one at my vacation home and I ordered one for our main house. That way, I'll never be without them!!"- Judy C., NH on Amazon

"Ok.. in my humble opinion, these sleepphones are EXACTLY as advertised!! They are extremely comfortable and the sound is VERY good in both ears. I was actually afraid that you would lose base or treble with this product but happily that is not the case. It does start off a little warm on your head but after a couple of minutes your body regulates the heat and it's no longer noticable. I do have to warn you though.. if you want to STAY AWAKE while wearing the sleepphones.. sleep on your back! Everytime I layed on my side while wearing them, I fell ASLEEP (which I guess is testimony in itself on how comfortable they are)!! My review.. TWO THUMBS UP!"- Clairity, TX in the DreamViews Forum

"I have to say, These are very unique and they work! The construction is awesome and feels like a warm set of pajamas. A little pricey, but heck they are made in the USA (handmade, I might add) and have a wonderful sound. You can barely tell that the speakers are there! I have tried every ear phones and buds imaginable only to have ear aches or a stiff neck. I just pull these over my eyes and let the soothing sounds of my IPOD take over...A+!"- Maggie, NJ

"Check out these headphones, they are wonderful for sleeping and the speakers inside them have been selected with brainwave entrainment in mind! By the way, I do not sell these, I only want to share a great thing! You can turn over in your sleep and the headphones/band stays on your head with comfort."- Andrew Bentley, NC   Andrew's great idea: The best headphones for sleeping!, Plus my own light goggles addition.

"The SleeppPhones box is beautifully presented and will make a great gift. It definitely has a wow-factor and is unique."- Kim v.d.B., Great Britain

"I placed my order on Monday, and it arrived the very next day, and you were in the middle of a move, so I expected it to take at least a week!. So all I can say is WOW! I am impressed! And after one night, I'm impressed with your product too! (I usually don't end every sentence with an exclamation point, but your service deserves it!!!) One happy customer"- Gail M., NH

"Your product fills a much needed niche, and I appreciate you reaching out to me by linked-in. The sound quality is great on the earphones."- Dr. Jasper S. (emergency medicine), NY

"My husband snores all night. He wears those BreathRight strips, but they don't really stop him from snoring, they only quiet him a little. I've always had a very difficult time falling asleep- ever since I was a child- and his snoring was making it so much harder. It had been getting so bad lately that we were sleeping apart- just so that I COULD get some sleep. However, being a (somewhat) newly married couple we didn't want to HAVE to sleep apart so I started trying different things to help me fall asleep such as: sleeping pills (I still couldn't fall asleep and I felt so much worse in the morning), ear plugs (the foam kind fell out about 3 seconds after putting them in and the waxy kind gave me an ear infection), and going to bed an hour or so before him (I'm a night owl and he goes to bed at 10:00 at the latest). Needless to say, these options didn't help. Then one day at Target I saw a "Sleep" CD- it was supposed to help you fall asleep by helping to control your brain wave activity. It was on sale and I was sleep deprived and desperate so I bought it and that night I tried it. I slept so well, but in the morning my neck and back were so stiff and sore. I had used my old headphones which had great speakers but were very clunky. I decided that the trade was worth it and kept using them. After about a month and a half of use I threw my neck out. I couldn't move- even breathing hurt. I knew those clunky headphones were to blame. That night, with my husband in the guest room so any tossing and turning wouldn't hurt me, I tried to sleep without my sleep cd- but I couldn't! The next day I got online and started searching on Google for headphones you could sleep in and among other websites the SleepPhones website popped up. Most of the other websites showed "earbud" type headphones- similar to what come with an iPod- but I had tried those already and still having the bruises and sores on the inside of my ear to proove it, kept looking. Once I clicked on your website I knew I had my answer. Later that evening I ordered a pair and now that they have arrived in the mail I haven't slept better my whole life!"- Laura, IN

"I have been searching and searching for comfortable headphones to wear all night long. I don't sleep on my back so it's difficult to wear headphones at all unless I only put one bud in one ear, but I need stereo sound for biofeedback. I have really sensitive ears... I am buying them for me, my husband and my two kids. I think the way you incorporated the cord to come out from the forehead is great. My kids fall asleep with their ipods sometimes and it always worries me with those cords hanging down."- Keri G., ID

"I was very impressed. It is well made and so soft. It's amazing that it is handmade. The sheep eyelet is such an adorable touch. I think the others will be just as excited about it."- Alicia R., IL

"These SleepPhones are fantastic! I've been interested in sleep learning for years. These are the only head phones that do not cause me discomfort while sleeping. They are a very clever design, something I wish I had had years ago."- Edward Safranski, NY

"High quality! I've been sleeping in headphones 4 yrs-these are most comfortable."- Donna V., WA (see other eBay feedback)
