Great sound quality, battery too short (should be able to be plugged in while working)
Have tried a few sound bars both wired and wireless and this is the only one that does what it promises. Easy to set up. Great sound as long as you get within the right range under the pillow. Battery lasts all night and very slim so you can’t feel through the pillow. Was delivered quickly, lovely packaging so can’t find a negative. Hopefully will last me years
As a person with ADHD it's really nice to have something that Silences my brain for when I want to go to sleep
I sometimes like to listen to sleep meditations and podcasts in bed when I can’t sleep at times of stress. I find earbuds uncomfortable to sleep in so tried the Sleepbar as an under pillow solution. The Sleepbar is easy to set up and connect. It works fine under one pillow and is quite easy to manoeuvre into the optimum position. Only works for a side sleeping position though. I find sound clarity to be pretty good. There is a little bit of sound leakage though, which could be annoying to a partner. Overall, it seems a good quality product but I think it’s overpriced for what is effectively just a very slim speaker.
A true enhancement in helping me sleep. Doesn't bother my wife at all. A volume control directly on the unit might be helpful.
I must admit I was a little sceptical about how efficient the Sleepbar would be. I’m partiallly deaf…only one working ear…and hearing aids, although functional during the day, are not conducive for listening to the radio/podcasts etc in bed..at least not comfortably. This is where Sleepbar comes in. Even under the pillow I can listen easily, and the timer is a brilliant feature. Especially as I’m usually asleep within a few minutes of using the Sleepbar. Excellent idea and product.
I must have missed something on the website.
I thought it was a speaker that I could use with other sound sources, but it only plays canned sounds that it came with. Disappointing
The Sleepbar is wonderful for side sleepers who are tired of trying to drift off without wearing cumbersome earbuds. With a few adjustments, the sound quality is very good depending on the type of pillow you have. It is worth the price. I wish I had known about the Sleepbar sooner. Thanks for a great and thoughtful product.
I've been listening to audiobooks and as I fall asleep for more than 35 years and for nearly all of that time I've been making use of various headphones that I could use but which would stay comfortable; that left me either listening through only one ear or finding some comfortable enough when I would turnover. Nothing prevented the cables from twisting up over time, me getting tangled in them, or how to charge and listen at the same time. Add it into this frequent travel and the complexity of doing that while travelling.
Then I found the Sleepbar. This slips under any pillow. No more cables, no problems with charging my phone while plugged in overnight, and no more waking up with an uncomfortable ear after turning over with headphones in my ear
I listen to people talking rather than music or white noise, and the audio comes through load and clear through a variety of pillows. Occasionally I need to move it to be directly under my ear, but the sound actually travels surprisingly well throughout the pillow and I sleep soundly for hours.
It doesn't impact my wife who can't hear it, and when I travel, I just slip it my bag and then under my pillow when I arrive without any issues.
Great piece of equipment however volume control could be better so that it can be lowered beyond what is programmed.
I use a cube memory foam pillow and the sleep bar has worked fine. As long I position the bar directly underneath I can hear clearly enough for my needs and it doesn’t leak sound enough to disturb a roommate. Previously I was just using the phone speaker and just laying on it so this is an upgrade for more comfortable sleeping.
My only issue is that sometimes I just want to lay with the sleep bar and not necessarily sleep so I drain the battery more quickly requiring charge more often. Also in the app it will say 10% charge but still immediately die. So I might get six hours of use. Not horrible but would be nice if the battery was bigger and it tracked percentage properly instead of dying near 10%.
If you have a memory foam pillow this does not work too well. The sound is muffled and, despite trying to adjust the sound settings within the app, it makes no difference. I’m very disappointed, especially for the price paid.
This was a lucky find on Instagram. I do enjoy using it as its unobtrusive and user friendly. A gem of a find . Thanks Eric Solomon
The sleepbar is a great way to listen to a podcast as you are falling to sleep. It is lightweight and sleek in design, and great if you sleep on your side, if you change positions and swap sides, you need to move the sound bar! so probably not the best for a restless sleeper.
Bought to replace my v1 Sleepbar which I left in a hotel. The new one has an app (because everything has an app now). My main gripe is the unnecessary sounds indicating bluetooth has been connected or disconnected. There's no way to turn these sounds off. Sometimes bluetooth will disconnect and reconnect after I've fallen asleep and the indicator sounds for these actions are loud and jolting. Opposite of the intended purpose!
Speaker construction is good and solid. Pairing is reliable , only gripe is that the most suitable sound is babbling brook but it’s too short and has someone hammering in the background near the end .
I love my headband. I did find the instructions a little unclear initially but after a few days playing with the device I figured it all out. Probably my fault. If you have difficulty stick with it. It’s worth it. Ideally I would prefer a narrower headband, but not a big issue.
I love my sleep mask. I did find the instructions a little unclear initially but after a few days playing with the device I figured it all out. Probably my fault. If you have difficulty stick with it. It’s worth it.
The battery pack doesn’t last very long - and it feels not very well made. Thought I’d get more than one nights listening before a recharge. Getting at the plug for the battery pack is also a bit awkward. Overall, not as good as I’d hoped in terms of quality.
Bought as a gift and it is really enjoyable and easy to use. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to listen to books or music in bed.
I ordered a Drift Audio Sleep Mask and Headband, and have given both a good try. The sound quality is good, and is easy to adjust with the Drift Audio app.
The headband is good; it stays in position and is 1000% more comfortable than the single earbud I used to use - I can roll over and sleep on it!
Sadly, the sleep mask is a disappointment - it's bulky, and the position of the elastic makes the mask slip upwards, which pulls the bottom edge of the mask to the top of my forehead and the speakers away from my ears.
