Description
Features
Sleepbuds, not headphones
Designed for sleep, truly wireless Sleepbuds may look like tiny headphones, but they don’t stream music or podcasts. Instead they work with the Bose Sleep app to deliver relaxing and noise-masking sounds to help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night.
User-tested sleep technology
A Bose sponsored sleep study found Bose sleep technology helped users fall asleep faster.
Simple app
Sleepbuds II play only original content from the Bose Sleep app. Access the Sound Library’s 50 specially curated sounds, download your favorites to the earbuds, control the volume, and access features like a personal alarm.
Relaxing sleep sounds
Calm a racing mind or transport yourself to relaxing surroundings with content that includes tonal environments and sounds from nature and beyond.
Noise-masking technology
Bose-engineered masking sounds are optimized to work together with the noise-blocking design of the earbuds to cover up unwanted nighttime disturbances.
Secure, comfortable fit
Proprietary eartips are made of soft silicone for a comfortable fit all night — even if you toss and turn or sleep on your side. 3 sizes are included.
All-night battery
Up to 10 hours per charge — enough for a full night of restful sleep.
Charging/storage case
The portable case holds up to three additional full charges and stores Sleepbuds II when not in use.
Bluetooth compatibility
Sleepbuds II work with devices that support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Apple devices with iOS 11 or later are compatible, as well as most devices with Android 6.0 or later.

Saved my relationship and sanity
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My boyfriend snores and I usually spend nights on the couch to get some relief. I've tried silicone ear plugs, foam plugs, and nothing could drown out the snoring. Headphones work pretty well but sleeping in headphones or earbuds is horrible. I finally decided to buy the Bose sleepbuds based off the reviews and they are awesome. I like the various sound settings (although they sound similar to one another. I sleep at a volume of 75% and it effectively makes his snores more tolerable and sometimes I barely hear him. The alarm feature is nice because the buds drown out the sound of my regular alarm clock/phone. The price tag is hefty but I would recommend not wasting your money on anything else.

Bose sleepbuds II The Best thing ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first generation Bose sleep buds and loved them and long story short one of them went missing and went to get another pair and found out they stopped making them and was like nooooo. Didn’t know the sleepbuds II had came out until I came upon them looking at items on Bestbuy.com and couldn’t get them in my cart fast enough. These are even better than the first ones as far as fit and seem just slightly smaller and just work great just be sure you have them seated in your ear correctly. If you have someone that snores or need something to help block noise these are it. May not be the cheapest thing in the world but to me worth the investment. I have read about some talk about them not being able to play music through them well they are not made for that and they work wonderfully for what they are made to do. You can even set an alarm to wake you which is neat too. Thank you Bose for bringing them back even better.

An great solution for light sleepers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not own but was vaguely familiar with the original Bose sleepbuds that came out two years ago. While many people were happy with those, they were still a work in progress and were subsequently recalled by Bose. Now we have round two-and the work that Bose put in shows. The charging and storage case is a nice silver metal with a usb type c charging port on the back. It has a decent weight to it and a rubber bottom to prevent it sliding on a desk. It feels very high quality overall. In my experience the case itself charges in about an hour and will charge the buds about 4 times before running out. The buds themselves slot into the case with strong magnets that help with alignment. The buds are small, plastic pieces with interchangeable ear tips and wings. Both fit perfect for me out of the box but people's ears are usually not the same size so you may need to adjust one wingtip or one ear tip to get the perfect fit. These do not have active noise cancellation but are very effective at passive noise blocking. With the right size tips, you shouldn't hear much when you put them in. When you combine the passive noise blockage with the pre-selected noises in the app, you can effectively block out most sounds that would normally wake you up. Traffic, snoring, footsteps - it blocks it all for me. The buds are rated for ten hours of sound playback and they seem to meet that for me. One thing to remember, these charge very slowly. The do not use typical lithium ion batteries due to the size constraints and battery life, so you will want to put these in the case when you wake up. You most likely will anyways because they store your buds for you and keep you from losing them. The app is available on iphone and android and you MUST use it to use the buds initially. They connect with bluetooth and you can select from a collection of Bose chosen sounds. The selection is decent and will most likely have something for everyone. There are meditation sounds, white noise, and natural noises (ocean, rain, etc.). There is a phone free mode if you don't want to drain your battery all night and it works great. Once you turn it on you can keep using the buds night after night without opening the app, unless you want to adjust the volume or use the built in alarm. There are several nice alarms to choose from and they also work very well. These are worth a shot if you're a light sleeper like me and wake up multiple times a night. Since I started using these I will only wake up around one time a night, which has been amazing! They may work for you - they may not. I highly suggest giving them a try. Pros: Better sleep Built in alarm Multiple sounds to choose from USB C charging case Phone free mode Cons: Pricey No active noise cancelling May not work with some people's ears Will they hold up over time?

Oh my WOW!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am an avid Bose fan and have been eyeing these for quite some time. Well I finally got them after two weekends of putting up with NOISY NYC block parties that ran until 7 a.m. OUTCOME? My sleep has gone next level! I was a bit concerned about the comfort, as I had recently gotten a rook ear piercing (inner ear/cartilage) but even so, these didnt hurt or bother one bit. Stay in all night, sound selection is great and best of all, I love having an alarm to wake me from my serene slumber. Definitely recommend. Only con is that I didnt get these sooner.

Must Buy, Best Sleep Earplugs ever!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are worth every single penny I spent on them. I live in a city in a high rise apartment complex and am often woken up to trash men, police sirens, building alarms, ambulances, car honking... I thought I was a deep sleeper but I guess city living takes sleeping to a whole other level. I put these in, and for my first sleep they were a little uncomfortable. I think this was just because I am not used to sleeping with anything in my ears. After the second time using them, I do not notice they are there. But the important part... I LOVE THEM and I cannot recommend them enough. I wear them when I have an exam the next day to ensure I get a full night's rest. Last night, the apartment alarm went off (as if there was a fire alarm but it announces to stay put... happens because the building is undergoing construction at all hours of the day). I put my pods in my ear and cranked the volume to noise cancelling (they have a volume range and they recommend not putting it to cancelling). I fell back asleep within 2 minutes to wave noises. My roommate was up for 30 min listening to a horrible alarm. I loved these so much I got my boyfriend them for his birthday and he sleeps incredibly well now (he identifies as a light sleeper). ** my thumb is covering my initials I put on with a cricut to differentiate between my boyfriends and mine**

First time buyer/user
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since it’s my first time to buy Sleepbuds I didn’t know what to expect. I’m having trouble sleeping because of the street noises (traffic, cars racing…) and I’ve been looking for something to help me get a good night’s sleep. I saw the Sleepbuds 2 at BestBuy and decided to try it. My husband noticed that when I use them I move less at night. I don’t wake up in the wee hours. I’m happy that I got these to help me sleep better. I do recommend considering the product recommendations for safety use.

Torn
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does wonders for me in terms of helping me sleep. Sadly, this is my second pair. The first one went out after about 14 months, which is right outside of the Bose 1-year Warranty. This product tends to have a lot of issues, and the inly thing Bose offers is a %20 off discount. Kind of messed up. Which is why it gets three stars. Over priced and not the most reliable product, but unfortunately it is the only one in it’s class in terms of comfort and functionality.

Q: QuestionI use another meditation app (breethe) will I be able to listen to it while I sleep or do these only work with the Bose app? I am not sure If I can listen to my music and use other apps.
Asked by Megs.
- A:Answer Sleepbuds feature a 40 track library of relaxation content and noise masking sounds, but they cannot play music, podcasts, or any other audio outside this library. The reason for this is that Sleepbuds cannot stream audio from your mobile device. The power requirements for audio streaming would keep Bose from being able to make the buds small and comfortable enough to wear to sleep. Instead, the sounds from the library are transferred to the buds by the Bose Sleep app and played back locally thereafter.

Q: QuestionThe description says they have a "noise blocking design." Does this mean the Sleepbuds create a seal inside the ear? In other words, do they have active noise cancellation, like basic earplugs?
Asked by Garth.
- A:Answer They are noise canceling, however to say they are active noise canceling im not sure. Active noise canceling will usually change based the pitch or frequency coming in. These earbuds seem to be set at a standard level. One thing to note though is they do a very good job at blocking out outside noise. I have a set of Bose over the ear active noise canceling headphones and these earbuds do a way better job than my headset!
Answered by Crasher
Q: QuestionWould these help folks who have tinnitus by masking the ringing sound?
Asked by Tinnitus.
- A:Answer I, too, have tinnitus occasionally. Yes, the earbuds can mask it. They won't help make the tinnitus go away, but at least you can escape the ringing noise for a bit.

Q: QuestionI have a hubby who unfortunately snores very loudly and I sleep very lightly so when he snores all bets are off... I was wondering how well these work for sleeping next to a loudly snoring partner?
Asked by Char.
- A:Answer I am in the same boat as you. My wife is the loud snorer. These work extremely well as long as you can fall asleep to loud enough white noise or other sounds that drown out the snoring. I have to turn the volume up to near maximum so it's the only thing I hear. If you can sleep with white noise, these should do the trick. I am very pleased with them.

Q: QuestionI purchased these for my husband last december and he loves them. But recently he said only one ear bud charges to 100% while the other dies quickly. Can we send in for repair?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I had the same problem with the first generation sleep buds and I sent them to Bose directly. They sent me a new pair 48 hours later.
Answered by Andy
Q: QuestionIf I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night
Asked by WhitneyStarr.
- A:Answer Yes, for me they blocked out sounds especially when playing the sound clips.. they do have a built-in alarm that you can set.

Q: QuestionI live in an apartment with the loudest bunch of people above me,Do you think it might mask a dog's bark?Or loud thuds? Thanks!
Asked by barjean.
- A:Answer I doubt it would work with a THUD, you feel those more than hearing them. But dog barks and basic noises aren't a problem for these..They do have a snooze feature to stop making the relaxing sounds you can set to on or off and they'll play the sounds until you cut them off..
Answered by RonnieB2
Q: QuestionI am wondering about the comfort level. I have some ear buds that you can only use if you sleep on your back and I am a side sleeper. Would these work as far as side sleeping and again, how is the overall comfort level?
Asked by Vita.
- A:Answer I am a side sleeper too. They can be a little fussy. If you turn the wrong way you can move it and not hear the sound you chose. Sometimes sleeping on my left side, the bud irritates my ear. I had to use a smaller size for my left ear where my right ear is mostly comfortable. I generally do not lose them though. I had one come out only once.
