Amazon shoppers are heaping praise on an unusual gadget that helps them fall asleep at night, as well as being able to get a few winks in while flying. Amazon’s Sleep Headphones combine a typical eye mask with a speaker to help you fall asleep while listening to white noise, audiobooks or relaxing music, without annoying your partner or wearing bulky headphones.
The headphone eye mask, which come in four other colours, typically retails for £21.99 but have been slashed to just £14.99 for a limited time – that’s a total saving of £7. You can also get them for £21.39 on eBay. The Sleep Headphones feature a Bluetooth speaker that provides between 10 to 14 hours of music playback, per charge, as well as a super soft eye mask that blocks light from disturbing your sleep.
The best thing about the product is that they are said to remain comfortable all night long, unlike going to bed with ear buds or headphones, which can cause pain in your ears or neck after a while. You can adjust the speakers near the ears to set it to the perfect volume as well as adjust the size of the mask when necessary.

Amazon customers have given the Sleep Headphones an impressive average 4.3-star rating from over 2,300 reviews. Those who have tried the tech gadget have mentioned their sleep has improved by being able to block out unwanted sight and sound when they drift off.
One Amazon shopper said: “It’s genuinely a godsend for long trips or sharing a room with someone who snores. The sound is actually really clear which was unexpected. The mask is super comfortable and blocks out the light completely.”
A second wrote: “Because I love mine so much, this one was bought as a gift for a night-shift worker. He now sleeps much better, daylight doesn’t get through and listening to white noise blocks all the noise from a busy road.”

A third penned: “Bought this to help me sleep at night. It completely blocks out any light and I can listen to gentle music or audiobooks to help me drop off to sleep. It is such a hit I’ve bought a second one for my son.”
“Absolutely amazing,” mentioned another. “This sleep mask is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. When I lay on my side I cannot feel the speakers whatsoever. I would really recommend this sleep mask.”
However, one Amazon shopper gave the Sleep Headphones a three-star review because the battery life is ‘not as stated’. They wrote: “The product itself is a good idea, shame the battery lasts nowhere near as it says. I got seven hours the first time and four hours the next.”

But another loved their Amazon purchase, adding: “My partner works shift work and would hear every little sound through the day and would get horrible sleep when working nights. Got this for his birthday. It’s literally changed his life. He sleeps straight through, listening to white noise and blocking daylight. It’s amazing what good proper sleep can do. He wakes up refreshed and we feel comfortable moving around the house and living a bit during the day.”
Another quirky tech gadget that helps promote a better night sleep is the Soundasleep Medium Support Speaker Pillow, which is available for £40 at Argos. The unique pillow has a discrete speaker that lies undetectable inside, meaning you can listen to your favourite sounds without disturbing others and without the need for headphones.
