I like having some kind of sound while I'm sleeping: a podcast, sleep music, white noise, the TV. Over the years, I have used a variety of headbands with speakers built into them - I get the sounds, Joan doesn't hear it. Last year, I tried some SoundCore A20 sleepbuds...
I have used these off and on over the last 18 months, occasionally alternating with one of the headbands with the built-in speakers. This week, these sleepbuds crapped out: the battery life dropped to about 4 hours, and one of the earbud came apart. I superglued it back together, and now it won't charge. Yeah, out of warranty. I need to come up with something.
But wait! SoundCore has a newer model: the A30 Special. And you can buy a 2 year warranty. Because, as Joan said: "I don't think any of these things you have bought have held up more than a year." That's based on a bunch of the headband things over the years.
I generally like to listen to spoken word, as in a podcast. If I listen to music while trying to sleep, I find myself "groovin' to the music." I can't use the TV because of the light. So, I pull up stuff on my iPad Mini and blue tooth that to the sleepbuds or headband.
For the record, this isn't a new thing for me. When I was a kid, I had a clock radio (remember those?) that I would have on overnight. Without some noise, I can hear my own heartbeat at night.
Joan just placed an order for me on Amazon. Back to the old-school headband tonight.
