Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Bose - Sleepbuds II from Best Buy. I previously purchased a pair of the Bose - Sleepbuds I about 2-3 years ago. The Sleepbuds I were recalled due to a battery charging issue. The Bose SleepBuds I and Sleepbuds II both provide the white noise I need to fall asleep and help block out the ringing in my ears (Tinnitus). The Bose Sleepbuds II provide 10 different white noises that come preloaded on the ear pieces. You can add additional white noises from the selection in the Bose Sleepbuds II App. I fall asleep very quickly and there is not a noise from my girlfriend or the pets that roam the house at night that wakes me up. When my alarm for work goes off I am the only one that can hear it. I am not waking up my girlfriend when it is time for me to get up for work. The only drawback is these expensive ($249.00) Bose Sleepbuds II cannot be used for any purpose but playing the white noise. It would have been great if any audio from your phone could be heard. Still, even at this price and the limited usable the Sleepbuds II are well worth the investment. A great nights sleep sometimes at a high price.

I really wanted to love these buds. There are serious pros and cons for me though. I had to change the size of the left bud. It made a mark on my ear that actually scabbed over and made it painful to lay on my left side. Once I changed the bud it still isn't perfect but it is better. If you lay the wrong way on them, positionally you will stop hearing whatever sound you have chosen. This has happened more times than I can count. I have had the right bud disconnect twice for no apparent reason. If I get up, put the bud in the case and take it back out it works again. Probably not top on my list of things to want to do at 3am. The noise cancelling is decent. It is not perfect but if you choose a noise cancelling sound, most times the background noise will mix in and not wake you. I have been woken up and had to adjust the earbud to be more effective. I am very serious about my sleep. If I don't get the sleep I need I simply don't function well. One real nice pro to these buds is that the birds, lawn being mowed by a neighbor, people starting cars outside does not wake me with the buds in. My biggest con is that I thought they would be so much more comfortable to sleep in. They really aren't. My ears get moist, they don't always stay still, and that left earbud still occasionally irritates the cartilage on the inside of my left ear. There is no Geek Squad coverage for these, either. I may very well have returned them if there was, and they are very expensive.

I have used these Bose Sleep Buds II for a little over 2 weeks now and I absolutely love them. I was a little apprehensive at first due to the price, but I was willing to give them a shot since there was a return policy if I didn’t like them. After using them, they’re definitely worth the price for me. I have extremely rude, noisy upstairs neighbors who have been waking me up multiple times per night for months from stomping, slamming drawers, and yelling. My fan and white noise machine were just not cutting it - but now using these sleep buds along with them, my neighbors have not woken me up once. It’s made a big difference for me. I like that they block sound in addition to playing noise from the app. I also like that they are loud enough to cover up noises while sleeping but are not too loud to mask something like a smoke detector. The battery lasts 1 night and I just have to put them in the case to charge in the morning. You won’t get multiple nights’ use out of one charge, but I think that’s fair given that they’re on and being used all night.

I've been having sleeping issues for the past year on and off due to an electrical transformer outside that produces a loud hum. These sleepbuds have been a life saver. I can wear them all night comfortably, they block out the loud hum, and after 8 hours of sleep, they still have just under 50% of their battery left. I will say that setup was a little bumpy, but eventually everything worked just right. I've seen posts about people complaining that they won't charge past ~25%. It seems it's more of a 'visual' issue and once you've charged them for the recommend initial charge time, you can 'calibrate' the base which will reset the charge value.

This product really helped with my sleep. I live on a major 4 lane rode with a lot of traffic that would keep me from getting a good nights sleep. The product fits snug in your ears and allows you to lay on your side without them falling out. Depending upon the volume of the noise, I would sometimes have to turn up the loops so it’s not exaggerating same as the noise canceling headphones, but overall I am satisfied with the product

I read many reviews and was very hesitant in spending this much money on a pair of earbuds that would not play music as well. After much deliberation I decided to purchase them. I have to day that I'm really impressed. I'm a side sleeper and these ear buds are so comfortable that you can barely feel they are there. I slept for about 5 hours, but I must say that the quality of sleep must have been great because I woke up feeling refreshed. My husband is a heavy snorer and getting good quality sleep has been challenging. I tried every type of ear plug and other ear buds. The only thing that kind of worked were the Bose Quiet headphones, but I was afraid that I would end up breaking them and sleeping on my side was not an option with them. I'm really happy with my purchase, I just wish I would have bought them sooner.

I primarily got this so that I can share hotel rooms with a family member who falls asleep faster than me and snores incredibly loud. To the point I’m surviving on caffeine alone by the end of a vacation. Turning the volume up high blocks it to the point I can actually sleep. It’s also helped calm racing thoughts/anxiety so I can sleep by giving me something else to focus on. The one thing I’d improve is how the alarm/snooze notification works. It’s not as integrated as Apple’s alarm so it can take some fumbling to actually hit snooze or turn it off, while the alarm is still getting progressively louder in your ears. As long as my phone volume is up and the Bose volume isn’t above the “warning” point, I can still hear my phone alarm. I just set the Bose alarm a few minutes later as an emergency backup instead, and that gives me time to take them off.

Have used a sound machine before, but I wanted something that wouldn't keep my wife up. I love these sleepbuds. Easy to setup, easy to use. They're comfortable wear and good for about three nights. I would definitely recommend them. My only negative would be that you can only use the programmed sounds on the sleepbuds, which is fine, but it would be nice to be able to upload new sounds.

I love these sleepbuds. They are literally life changing for someone who sleeps with a snorer. They are hardly noticeable when wearing, even when sleeting on your side. I had the previous version that was taken off the market due to short battery life. This one seems like it will work just fine!

This is the worth it especially if your someone that is very easy awake from noises around the house. These things rock when you needing a quite sleep

I absolutely love the Bose Sleepbuds. I have to admit that I purchased this product with low expectations. Not because of the product, but due to the fact that I had tried so many different option to block noise that wake me at night and nothing worked or worked comfortably. I’ve now been using these for about three weeks and have slept perfectly from the first night. They are extremely comfortable and I can even sleep with ear on the pillow without discomfort! I would highly recommend these for anyone that can sleep to gentle background sounds. The only comment that I can make that sheds any negative light on this product is the fact that they are completely one dimensional. They only serve this one purpose and cannot be used for listening to music while working out. They are only for sleeping using the provided sound effects. I would not have any reservations strongly recommending these Sleepbuds to anyone. They are truly awesome!

These are great, really nice sound quality. I waited a month or two before buying them, then finally decided it would be good peace of mind if they worked well which they do! Pretty comfortable and I'm a side sleeper; there are different sizes as well that you can change out to fit your ears. I like the sounds you can choose on the app, and there is a good variety. So if you do not prefer some you will likely find at least a few that you enjoy-I've found quite a few that I like. Sometimes the app is a little glitchy but could also be related to my phone. Though not cheap, they were worth the money in my opinion as I can drown out noise at night while still being able to hear important things (e.g. my dogs, alarms). I am very noise sensitive. During the day is nice to use them during meditation and to drown out noise as I live in an apartment complex.

My first pair I had to return, the left bud stopped charging. Second pair I wore for two weeks then took car camping at Coachella Music Festival. AMAZING. The groups around my tent were loud, yelling, singing, and what not throughout the night and these sleep buds drowned them completely out. I was the only person amongst any of my friends to get a full night's sleep and feel well rested each day. I am an extremely light sleeper so I wasn't expecting these results. I highly recommend these, they are so worth it. Battery: I camped 4 nights and the rechargeable dock for the buds had just enough juice for 3 days until I had to use my portable charger. Sound: Clear and consistent. No static or break in sound.

LOVE these sleep buds! I travel often and always bring these along. They block out airplane noise, hotel noise and my husband's snoring!

I missed out on the 1st Generation SleepBuds, as they discontinued them as I finally decided to break down and buy them. Seeing a 2nd Generation available was awesome. I cannot say enough good things about these. I used a sound machine for years until my wife could no longer take the noise. Being able to have the sound machine only in my ears, with the ability to set an alarm is fantastic. My only complaint is that every once in awhile, the buds do not connect with the app and I have to put them back in the case and try again. While it may seem a steep price at $249, for me it was well worth the price. I was a light sleeper where every little noise would wake me up. Now I sleep through the night wit ease.

Blocks out the snoring (until the snoring gets absurdly loud!). Great sounds to choose from. Easy to use. Great for travel. They are comfortable and don't fall out in the middle of the night.

I had looked at these for almost 2 years before deciding to bite the bullet and get them. I am a very light sleeper. Bought these in April 2022. OMG! My husband has a Cpap but he still snores. With these in, i have only hear him a handful of times. I am finally waking up rested! They are also perfect for travelling (which we do a lot of). No matter where I am I can sleep without being disturbed. I will never be without a pair of these again! I am a side sleeper and was concerned with how they would feel. They are noticable, but not bothersome. I was able to get used to them quickly and now i hardly notice them at all.

I guess they work wife wears them every night. .

My husband snores and I'm a light sleeper. Its been a miserable journey trying to find a product that would help me get some sleep. We had tried it all, even invested in the raised bed platforms, nothing worked to get him to stop. I was extremely skeptical that these would work, but THEY DO. I do not have the buds turned up loud and even have them lower than the recommended volume setting and only once in the week I've had them have I heard him snore and that was only because I had just laid down. He hasn't woken me from my sleep in 1 week, that hasn't happened in YEARS. I HIGHLY recommend these to any skeptic out there whose husband can't get off the snore train.

I have problems with adding pods in my ear. they don't always stay in. these stay in, but there is not enough base in the sound. it's not adjustable. i am surprise considering they are Bose ear buds.
