I purchased these through a third party without realising that this would leave me having to deal with a below par tech company that didn’t seem to understand what a warranty means. They made it so hard that I gave in and won’t buy again.there was a fault with one of the buds that didn’t work The actual manufacturer seems pleasant and responsive… Read more
but would not engage in warranty differing to the 3rd party ( these were bought from a retail store new btw) If you do chose to buy these sleepbuds go straight to the manufacturer and don’t buy through chain stores I have binned mine and will buy the other brand that’s a bit more expensive but has warranty

Replacement for my Bose Sleepbuds 2 – When my beloved Bose Sleepbuds2 finally failed, I was a loss as to find something that would cancel out my partner's snoring (Bose discontinued the Sleepbuds in 2023 I think). After reading reviews, I chose these Sleep A10. Are they as good as my old Sleepbuds? Yes and no The pros: - Easier and quicker to connect to when off to bed - Double tap… Read more
to start and stop - Music mode (not tried that yet) - Cheaper!
The cons: - Finding the noise cancelling sounds in the app was not easy - Having to set your in-ear alarm every night is a pain, and leaves it open to being forgotten! - They do not fit in my ear as well as the Bose, and have had them work loose over the course of the night - The battery seems only to last for around 8 hours, and I have had the left bud last less than that. So if you want a lie in, I hope your partner is not still snoring! - Volume control is a bit "clunky" even though its on a slider
All that said, do they cancel out snoring? I have to say, as long as get that volume up around 80%+, they do the job I purchased them for!
Terrible experience with the product and support – I genuinely don't know how these can be sold for the intended purpose when in practice cheap foam ear plugs are far more effective. I tried the different sizes in case it was that. I do not know what the 4 point noise cancelling that they are claiming is but there does not seem to be any active noise cancelling in them. It seems to be a case of… Read more
just turning them up loud to drown other sounds out.
I also do not know how they can claim that they are good for side sleepers. They are extremely uncomfortable to wear after a very short time. There isn't much barrier to stop the hard plastic being forced in to the ear cartilage.
I normally don't leave reviews and, accept that a bad product has been sold claiming to do more that it actually does, get a refund and move on. However when I try to get my money back under their 30 day guarantee, their suggestion is shipping the product back to them at my own expense and that this would be too much hassle for me so instead they recommend $30 refund "to help you get an item that will actually work for you". This is such a ridiculously bad response that I need to highlight it. I would avoid buying from them in future.
The perfect earbuds that are great for listening to audiobooks, music and sleeping while doing either! – My use case might be slightly unique but these were perfect for me! I needed a set of earbuds to take for work, not so much because the environment is noisy, but I like listening to audiobooks that helps me get to sleep... and I guess cuts out any other sound :) Not only that, but I couldn't have both buds in, as if there is an emergency, I… Read more · 1
need to be able to hear any alarms or announcements. So I can thoroughly confirm that these buds will still play music or audiobooks with only one bud in and does so perfectly well enough that I no longer really need my Samsung galaxy buds unless I am making calls.
I have had quite a few nights where one ear bud is enough since I usually wake up a little and swap ear buds and roll on my other side, then go back to sleep. So for me, the battery life is perfectly fine.
They also have no issue in staying in place which is a bonus :)
Personally I turned off pretty much all the noise reducing functions and the double tap feature and these things will be my go to for every work trip. Which will be a lot this year :/
Thanks guys!

Love all soundcore products – Anything sound core is in my opinion awesome. These earbuds are no exception. Fit well, ideal for using when lying down. Highly recommend them. Show details · 1
Excellent ear buds but hard to find when lost – I bought the A10s for my wife and she loves them. Comfortable to sleep with and quality construction. Unfortunately she lost one of the ear buds. Would be great if their location could be tracked to find the missing bud. Show details
A much better sleep – This device has certainly helped me get a better night's sleep. For me the rain setting is perfect and I like the way it turns off once I go to sleep. If you are disturbed by noise at night the Sleep A10 is a great product to get. Show details
Negative reviews
Bad product – I bought this product because I loved space a40 but it regret buying a10. It gets disconnected automatically and the sound volume is very low. Doesn’t fit into ears properly and didn’t meet the expectations for noise cancellation. Would not recommend this to anyone. Show details

Decent earbuds for sleeping with some design flaws – The earbuds are very lightweight which is great for sleeping with. It's the quality of the wingtips that lets it down. They feel and look cheap. They're also flimsy so it doesn't take a tight fit into the ear. This causes it to fall out more easily. The sound quality is decent enough. I was not expecting anything more for earbuds designed for… Read more
sleeping. Overall it does the job. It is annoying to have to look for my earbuds that have fallen out the next morning. I expect better for the price tag.

Poor battery life – Having gone from a $25 Bluetooth sleep band that lasted for 10+ hours of use to these, I'm pretty disappointed with the A10's battery life. They're relatively comfortable for a side sleeper like me but don't last more than a few hours into the night.
Thanks for sharing your concern with us. I would like… Read more

I listen to a lot of podcasts, audio books and music in bed. I've used other earbuds and they dig into my ears which is really uncomfortable. Also when I roll over the pillow hits the pause button, so I have to hang my ears off the end of the pillow to keep the sound on. The Sleep A10 are comfortable where ever you put your head on the pillow. … Read more · 1
I've fallen asleep numerous times and they're still going when I wake up. Would be good if you wanted to listen to white noise without disturbing your partner and there are some inbuilt options too. I never use that function but handy to know it's there if I ever need it.
These are great no issues of them falling out while training or at night while sleeping. If you are looking for a pair to answer calls though, these don't. Just purely for listening to your playlist. Also comes with different sizes to fit all ears. But I'm very happy with these. Show details · 1

Did not do what was required – Right earbud did not work. Poor sound quality and does not block out snoring. Tried to trouble shoot on internet and change cushions however no joy. I have requested to return for a refund. Sounded like listening through a stethescope. Show details

Surprisingly impressed with the comfort – Couple of weeks in and so far, so good. They're masking my tinnitus enough to get a relatively good night's sleep, something that has been foreign for a very long time now so that's a definite plus. Shame they require recharging every day but in the scheme of things, that's pretty okay. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase Show details
Good replacement for Bose Sleep buds – Ear buds are comfortable and easy to use, although both buds and case appear less robust than the Bose sleep buds they replace Show details
Terrible Battery Life - get the A20s instead – Great concept and app but the battery life in these is not enough if you want them operating the entire night. Mine were faulty as the Right earbud failed at about 2am each day, which in itself woke me with the sudden silence in one ear. But even the left ear would fail by 5am. Gratefully, I was able to get my money back on these A10s and I went… Read more
and purchased the A20s which have worked out brilliantly so far. The A20s are pretty much the same as the A10s yet with a better battery life.

Highly Recommend – Really worth purchasing! I had the Bose SleepBuds, which are better than these however were also double the price. These stay in my ears really well and no issues. Get roughly 7-8 hour battery life. Decent app and able to listen to other music and not just restricted to the app, though still need to allow more time to learn to better use the app. Would 100% recommend these. Show details · 1
Could’ve spent my money better elsewhere… – Loses Bluetooth connectivity frequently even when buds are correctly placed. Definitely not made for side sleepers - they hurt. Show details

Ok but not awesome – Not as good as Bose (who are not making anymore). They don't last the night and for some random reason they increase the volume during the night and wake you up Show details

Blocks my wife's snoring... that's worth a lot! – At the core, these are great. My wife snores, I had the Bose version previously and after years of service the batteries were shot, and these were almost like for like. So to serve the purpose of blocking snoring, 5 stars. I've had a few challenges in connecting, and the Bluetooth doesn't seem to work very well, but hopefully these can be fixed… Read more
with a software update.
Going back to where I started: these are great at blocking noise like snoring. Recommended for that purpose and no more.
very comfortable if you sleep on your side – Great replacement for “daytime” ear buds if you want something for sleeping. I’ve been using this in music mode to listen to podcasts. Comfortable to wear with different sizes and sshapes of ear buds. App is good too, can customise controls. I turned them off so I dont accidently start the next podcast in my stream while asleep. No issues with… Read more · 1
battery life, they always have some left in the morning but I set the podcast app timer to 30 mins which is usually all i need, and only 4-5 times a night max. Lots of white noise options but I dont use it for that so wont comment on how good they are. East to fit into charging case too.

Good earpods, but check the fit when sleeping – Pods are quite small and offer good batter life, however I found them slightly uncomfortable when using while sleeping. Ended up changing out for the A20 which I have found more comfortable. Show details · 1
Great sleepbuds – Had problems with one of the sleep buds and the Sounndcore help line resolved the problem with out any issues and now they work perfectly. They are comfortable easy to connect and the battery life is good, I am able to get 8 hours with a bit more than half the volume of the speakers. They are perfect for me having multiple sizes of earbuds. Thank you Soundcore Show details · 1
Not enough battery per charge – This product has allowed me to sleep next to my partner who snores. They are very comfortable and have adjustable prices to fit in any ear shape. The only negative I have is that they only last 5-6 hours in sleep mode of a night meaning I only get 5-6 hours of sleep Show details
Wouldn't buy again – Battery life is terrible. The right headphone will last 3 hours, if I'm lucky. White noise sounds/snore masking are limited. Headphones seem to completely seal themselves with any slight head movement causing the sound to basically disappear. The attachment pieces are also highly uncomfortable to sleep with & do not mask outside noise. So much so that I've used my old Bose sleepbud covers instead which improved the headphones alot.

Earbuds work very well – Difficult to use the app i cant do the warranty wont load up, cant select a new sound wont load up. But the EarPods themselves are great, very happy with them Show details · 1
Happy in part, but can’t recommend – For what I paid…disappointed in some ways, thrilled in others. I’ve slept soundly, for up to 6 hours! I bought these due to discomfort with my iPhone earbuds, and I generally sleep with ‘Rain rain’ app…I wanted something that wasn’t so uncomfortable in my ears, and these have 100% delivered in this way - love the feel so much (to the point that I… Read more
can’t even feel them there!)
My issues though - I tried sleeping with rain rain via Bluetooth, and the batteries died within around 4 hours, so I tried the ‘thunderstorm’ sound via the app in sleep mode…much quieter than what I’m used to, and just a 5 second rerun of sounds, but ‘ok’ due to the external sound blocking…but my earbuds lost all battery in 6 hours!
How do I know? Because I wake when the sound stops. I have suffered insomnia for years and my app (rain rain) helped me sleep. My earphones always gave me discomfort - so I tried these.
For around $200, I’d say that I expect better battery life, if they’re ‘sleep’ earbuds - you need to guarantee that there’s at LEAST 8 hours in sleep mode. There’s not. I don’t care about the responses I’ve seen ‘try sleep mode, you should get 10 hours’…in real life, you’ll never get this.
They’re good, but not great. I appreciate the comfort and ambient sound blocking, but I wake up the second the batteries die (fully charged & in sleep mode), and so in all honesty, I’d have to say - don’t spend $209, it’s maybe worth $60. I can’t get $140 back, but I’ll stick them in my ears to fall asleep, then change over to something less comfortable for the next couple of hours.
Just glad I bought some Bose earphones at the same time to see the night through without having to deal with the uncomfortable Apple earphones and ear pods pro’s!
Halve the price of these, and I’d say they’re 5 stars - or throw in an extra pair (due to crap battery life), totally worth it…as is, good, truly not great.
Can’t recommend to anyone without a reduction in price, or a second pair given for the price…on sleep mode and following all instructions, the battery does not see you through a standard 8 hours
The Sleep A10 Earbuds – These work as described. They provide the white noises needed to block out snoring. They also allow you to play music. The Phone app works well and the sleep history is very informative providing information about deep sleep, light sleep and wakeful periods of time during the night. I purchased these over a year and a half ago and they were great… Read more · 1
until around Christmas. The left ear bud drops out occasionally and the charging is down to 80% permanently. This means when I put them in at around 10 pm, the white noise stops around 4 to 5 am in the morning. I will keep them for a few more months then add them to the electronic waste like my two pairs of Bose Sleepbuds. I hope the next version last longer.
Helpful to shut out snoring noise – A little bit lumpy compared to sleep buds (discontinued product ) but do block out 80% of the noise of partners snoring quite successfully Charge and hold charge well. Show details · 1
