First week review
I hardly ever write reviews but here is the rare exception. I work a rotating swing shift that has given me severe shift work sleep disorder.I’ve spent 20 years buying every crackpot hairbrained product to try to help me get a little sleep. My go to was acoustic sleep , a fine product about half the price as the A-20. The acoustic sleep has one fatal flaw, it has no passive noise reduction, you hear ambient noise that’s louder than the device but that’s due to its product design. I almost didn’t give the A-20 a chance because I wanted active noise reduction…man am I glad I did. As a side sleeper these things are comfortable and don’t fall out while I sleep, but the biggest draw is the combination of excellent passive noise reduction and whatever sounds you like to sleep to ( for me its rain) . They do an exceptional job of insulating me in the sounds of the thunderstorm , isolating me from the outside world.I have 3 college young men upstairs and they run across their apartment a lot, I cant hear them or most ambient sounds with my A-20s.( I guess when they throw a party that will be the big test) I haven’t even explored the many features of the app, first nite I went simple with one of the loadable sounds ( thunderstorm) and I was amazed how well they worked…Im happy with that . They are a little pricey but after the first night I realized what a great value they are. (Customer service is fast also.)2nd week updated…you have to keep these buds clear/clean of earwax or they will not work. My left bud stopped working. I examined it to find a ear wax buildup on the mike/speaker on the inside of the bud.After cleaning all was well. Im still happy

Phenomenal!
If you’re looking for a pair of sleep earbuds that truly deliver on comfort and battery life, the Soundcore Sleep A20 Earbuds by Anker are a standout choice. I’ve worn them all night, even as a side sleeper, and they’re so comfortable I often forget they’re in my ears. The battery life is impressive-easily lasting through the night (and then some), so you don’t have to worry about them dying before your alarm goes off.One of my favorite features is the configurable EQ in the Soundcore app, which lets you tweak the sound signature to your liking. There’s a preset that softens loud noises and balances the sound, which is perfect for narrated audio or podcasts I like to fall asleep to. The built-in library of white noise and nature sounds is another plus, and you can even save a selection directly to the earbuds, so you don’t need your phone nearby or worry about notifications waking you up.On the downside, I found the touch controls a bit too sensitive-they’d sometimes trigger accidentally as I moved in my sleep. Thankfully, you can disable them, which I did since I keep my phone close for any media or volume adjustments anyway.If there’s one thing I’d love to see in a future version, it’s active noise cancellation. I know that’s a tall order in such a tiny and comfortable form factor, but it would be a game changer for blocking out even more ambient noise.Overall, the Soundcore Sleep A20 Earbuds are a fantastic investment if you value a good night’s sleep and want a customizable, comfortable, and reliable solution for bedtime audio.On site note: If you’re having trouble making an account in the app, it might be because you had a Eufy account at some point. Apparently Anker and Eufy share the same authentication system, so if you have one, you have both. That was my only pain point in setting up the device, and caused me to scratch my head for a few.

Avevo le Bose Sleepbuds che ho restituito per disperazione. Queste Anker costano meno della metà e risolvono tutti i problemi delle Bose: una vasta libreria di loop noise e ambientali di tutti i tipi, addirittura combinabili fra loro; le Bose ne avevano pochissimi. Loop di lunghezza sufficiente a non far avvertire la ripetizione, senza elementi riconoscibili; quelli delle Bose duravano pochi secondi ed avevano elementi distintivi, per cui era inevitabile accorgersi del loop, cosa estremamente distraente quando si cerca di addormentarsi. Trasferimento dei loop sugli auricolari in meno di un minuto; con le Bose ce ne volevano dieci. Quattro loop precaricabili; nelle Bose solo uno. Grande autonomia, dopo una notte gli auricolari in modalità standalone sono ancora al 70%; le Bose arrivavano con fatica alle otto ore. Comandi locali (volume, stop, cambio loop) tramite tap; con le Bose ci voleva l’app per qualunque operazione. Comode e altamente personalizzabili: 4 misure per l’elemento interno e 3 per l’aletta che va nel padiglione dell’orecchio. Buon isolamento dai suoni esterni. Infine funzionano non solo in modalità standalone, ma anche come cuffie bluetooth standard, quindi per musica, podcast etc. Insomma consigliatissime.

a pair of earbuds that you can lie on your side with !.They fit far better than anyother for side sleepers.A soft pillow would work best with them,my only concern is lack of noise cancellation.

Decent headphones however the Bluetooth disconnects after 45 minutes every session, and despite what the manufacturer claims these DO NOT work for side sleepers at all. The headphones shut off when you lie on your side, they are not designed for it in any way shape or form.
