Are headband headphones good?

You've already used earbuds and traditional over the ear headphones, but now you're wondering if headband headphones are any good? Honestly, that's a question we get asked often and for people in your situation, we understand the idea can feel a bit different.

We've actually seen a real shift in what people want from sleep headphones. They are now prioritizing comfort above all else, which makes sense to us. Just imagine you're lying in bed, tossing and turning all night. Traditional earbuds fall out even when jammed into your ear canal. Bulky over the ear headphones dig into your head. If you're a side sleeper, either option is brutal. If you're a back sleeper, you might manage, but that pressure is still present.

We designed SleepPhones® headphones specifically for sleep. They have thin, padded speakers integrated into a soft, breathable headband so nothing goes into your ear. They are perfect if you're a side, stomach, or back sleeper as well. Some people even use the headband as a gentle eye mask to block out light.

I've spoken with customers who have tried everything to sleep, from earplugs to white noise machines, without success. One woman even said she had been waking up with headaches from her earbuds for years before switching to SleepPhones®. Our customers use them to block out snoring, noisy neighbors, or city noises by listening to things like guided meditations, white noise, or ambient music.

If you're tired of earbuds and traditional headphones disturbing your sleep instead of helping it, SleepPhones® headphones are absolutely worth considering.
