What reviewers say
Anker soundcore Sleep A20
Owners generally rate the Sleep A20 well for comfort and battery life, and many call it the best value sleep bud under $100. The common complaints are weak passive isolation for loud snorers and a touch control that is easy to trigger by accident.
- Comfortable for side sleepers, stays put overnight
- Long battery life, especially with the case
- Good masking of background noise at low volume
- Cheaper than Bose Sleepbuds
- Passive isolation is not enough for heavy snoring
- Touch controls trigger when you roll over
- Sound quality is fine for sleep, not for critical listening
- Case is bulky for travel
Sleenova SoundMask
With 4.8 out of 5 from 62 ratings, owners mostly praise the comfort and the thin speakers that make side sleeping possible. They also like the strong blackout and the fact that it works without a phone. The main complaint is a wish for more built-in sounds.
Questions and answers
