Can you really lie on your side with these?

Yes. The speakers are flat and sit inside the fabric, so there is no hard shell pressing into your ear. Very firm pillows can still push the speaker off the ear canal.

How long does the battery last?

Brookstone rates it at up to 10 hours per charge. At low volume that covers a full night; at higher volume expect less.

Can I wash the sleep mask?

The band is fabric, but the speakers and battery are built in. Remove the electronics module where the design allows and hand wash; do not machine wash or tumble dry the electronics.

Does it block out snoring or noise?

No. It has no active noise cancellation and no ear seal, so it masks sound only by playing your own audio. It blocks light, not noise.

Will it work with any phone?

It pairs over standard Bluetooth 5.0, so it works with iOS and Android phones, tablets and most Bluetooth audio sources.

What comes in the box?

The sleep mask with built-in headphones and a USB charging cable. No wall adapter is included.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a comfort product, not an audio one. Side sleepers like that nothing presses on the ear, and many use it nightly for white noise. Complaints center on speaker placement drifting and modest sound quality.
