Worthless

These are almost worthless. My foam earplugs "mask" the sound better than these. By masking they mean turn the volume up loud enough to the point where it drowns out other noises. I can do that with my other ear buds, or my TV or my stereo. I'm not a doctor but I feel confident in saying listening to something that loud is not good for your hearing. Also hard to fall asleep with soothing sounds blasting into your ear canal. I thought there was some noise canceling tech in these things. I misunderstood what I was buying. That mistake is on me. They are packed up and ready to ship. Just waiting to get that return label started

Just what I needed!

Among the app's sounds I was able to find the perfect one for me. "Warm static". That sound does a wonderful job of masking out my dogs snoring. I also appreciate that the Sleepbuds come with two other separate fittings for each ear. I especially like that because each of my ears was more comfortable with a different size. I'm very comfortable wearing the Sleepbuds II every night and they stay in???? They come with a snazzy charging case which operates beautifully. Bottom line is, I would buy them again!

it doesn't work at all

it doesn't work at all. If you are not listening to loud music, you can hear snoring. And who can fall asleep with a loud sound bothering your eardrum? I do not recommend it at all the bose quietcomfort headphones block even if you do not have the music on but you cannot sleep with them

Great sleepbuds!

I love these Bose sleepbuds! They stay in all night, and they are comfortable - yes, I can feel them & after I take them out my ears feel weird for a little while, but they couldn't have been made better. And they work! I fall asleep quicker and sleep deeper, and they do block out most of the outside sounds. I almost didn't hear my alarm one morning, so I had to turn that volume up.. but I am happy with the purchase. And I am impressed with how fast Crutchfield shipped them - they were sent out the same day & I had them in 2 business days. Thank you!

Fool me once...

I purchased the 1st gen Sleepbuds and liked virtually everything about them...until 10 months later when they stopped holding a charge. Bose sent replacements that failed right out of the box. When I investigated replacing the replacements, I noticed that Bose finally acknowledged that the 1st gen buds were flawed and would be discontinued. Bose offered to buy back every set of sleepbuds ever sold. Mind you, Bose didn't do the honorable thing and reach out to registered owners to advise them of the limited time buy-back offer.They discreetly posted it to the support website, hoping that customers wouldn't discover this option until the limited return window had passed.I returned mine in time, cashed the check, and assumed Bose was out of the sleep aid business permanently. Fool me twice... For the brief time that 1Gs worked, I liked them so much that I made the foolish mistake of buying the mark IIs-figuring that Bose wouldn't dare go to market unless it had resolved battery/charging issues. I figured wrong. My charging case was dead on arrival. I tried the "reset" procedure and it failed to resolve the problem. Now, it's possible that I am an especially unlucky customer who received the only dud to come off the assembly line. Unfortunately, I've been to this movie too many times. There's no convincing me that Bose can design and/or manufacture a reliable product. One thing I did get right: buying from Crutchfield, whose customer service puts Bose'

sleepbuds II

They don't cancel noise as well as I had hoped. I don't see why I should only be able to use them with the Bose app. They are bluetooth, looks like I could have a Bose mode for the sleep app and a music mode.

Restful sleep!

I am very happy with these, I sleep much better and the alarm function is great- better than a phone or alarm clock. Hopefully the batteries in this generation 2 product will last a long time. I was a gen 1 user and was disappointed they had to be returned; but I appreciated how Bose handled it. They are expensive, but worth it for me!

Comfortable white noise generator . Can move around without discomfort on either side of your head on the pillows. A pleasant surprise is that this white noise can be volume adjusted to finesse it positive effects and leave some ambient noise awareness. Thank you Bose.

Helps my tinnitus

I have tinnitus and sleep is not easy for me. The ear buds are simple to use and I do find relief.

Sleep is better without them.

Not comfortable enough to leave in all night. Develops a "full" feeling that is annoying enough to take them out. After a short period of time with an ear laying on the down, this becomes uncomfortable and noticeable. The sounds are restful and helpful at blocking sounds; as the sleep buds are effective at blocking outside sounds. Bottom line is that after a period of time, about an hour, the sleep buds are distracting and are taken out; and sleep is better without them.

Worth it

They are just comfortable enough if you have a soft pillow. They work however exceptionally well and drown out 90% of my wife's snoring . Crutchfield is a pleasure to work with.

Blessed sleep

I got these from my partner who snores loudly all night long, I just couldn't sleep because of the noise. Have to admit I was a bit skeptical and concerned that they'll hurt my ears after hours of wearing them, but instead I was happily surprised that they worked great at keeping the noise out, and relaxing me with the white noise and NO pain! They are so comfortable that I just wish I could use them for other things other than sleeping!

Didn't help with tinnitus

Bought to mask tinnitus but no available sounds are at a high pitch where my ringing is. So I just get another sound on top of the tinnitus.

These sleep buds really work to mask noise from nearby snoring to just general noise. The choice of sounds is good too. I've been able to wear them for 8 hours with no discomfort. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

Comfortable, secure, effective (sleeping great!)

I saw a Crutchfield email talking about these and thought I would give myself and early Christmas present. I have been wearing earplugs for years, plus have a white noise generator in my room. The earplugs suck at my ear (not comfortable) and the white noise generator is annoying. I love these. I was able to use them right out of the box, without having to change the size, though I am going to give the smaller size a try to see if they are even a bit more comfortable. They do not fall out or show any sign of falling out despite turning over and sleeping on my side or back. They may create a "seal" but it is not evident, and therefore not uncomfortable. The big question is the sounds. WOW. Great. I love the Cascade and Campfire. They give you a feeling of being surrounded by the sounds, not just playing in your ear. Part of this is that they have a stereo effect - slightly different sounds are playing in each ear. When I take them out in the morning I am surprised that the waterfall has suddenly disappeared! I have the volume fairly low (I think around 25%), and it is plenty to keep me from hearing the traffic outside and my neighbors above and below me. The alarm function is also great! And the charge is plenty for all night. I was skeptical about these, but hopeful. I am happy to say my expectations are exceeded. I highly recommend these.

Bose Noise-masking Sleepbuds II

I previously owned the first generation Bose sleepbuds. Those were good (except for the battery issues), but these are MUXH better. The slimmer design alows me to sleep on my side comfortably - the older generation generated too much pressure to b ereally comfortable. They seal out noise really well and allow me to get a good nights sleep. A snoring partner is no longert a problem!

Bose Sleepbuds 2 are worth the price

For years, I've worn earplugs to block out my husband's extreme snoring, with mixed results. The brand I use promises a 32db noise reduction, but for them to really work, I have to jam them deep enough into my ear canals to make my ears sore the next morning. I was skeptical when I read about Bose Sleepbuds 2. They offer passive sound reduction, not active noise canceling. If earplugs didn't work, I thought, then how effective could passive earbuds be at reducing noise? But I trusted in Crutchfield's return policy and took a leap of faith. I've been using the Sleepbuds 2 for three nights now. I can report that when I put them in my ears and play sounds from Bose's sound library, the snoring is muted to the level of heavy breathing and sounds like it's coming from further away. The white noise of the ocean surf (or whichever sound I download) is louder and closer. As a result, I don't pay attention to the snoring. The earbuds distract me well enough that I sleep through the night. In the user manual, Bose talks about how the Sleepbuds"trick" your brain. It works. About fit: I'm a side sleeper with small ears. Although the earbuds are small and their surfaces are covered in silicone, they press on my ears until they're positioned comfortably against the pillow. It takes a few minutes to get it right. After that, they don't bother me. They're comfortable enough for the rest of the night. Conclusion: Sleepbuds 2 are an expensive investment, but so worth it.

Life changing!

I owned three pairs of the 1st generation Sleepbuds, and I was really excited when I found out Bose had released these. First, let me say I am a horrible light side sleeper and any noise from snoring to traffic wakes me up. The Sleepbuds were a true gift from above and helped me sleep SO much better. Unfortunately they had their share of issues which is the reason why I went through three pairs in just a little over 2 years. I do want to say that Bose had beyond excellent customer service every time I had an issue in the past. They replaced them every time with no questions asked. Now, on to the new buds... I'm happy to say Bose fixed all of the issues that plagued the last generation Sleepbuds-from the battery going out to the magnet eventually breaking off to the squeaky plastic sound when the buds rubbed against the pillow. They really knocked it out of the park with this release by actually listening to their customers and fixing those issues. They're comfortable and never hurt my ears. Negatives? Some people may complain that they can't play music through the Sleepbuds but it doesn't bother me at all. I actually turn the Bluetooth off at night anyway. The noise masking sounds help me sleep so much better and, to me, justifies the higher price. Simply life changing!
