They do one thing and one thing onlyplay a limited selection of relaxing noises.
Of course, there are a million ways to get sounds into your ears, and Ive tried many.
Ive tried pills, foam ear protectors, and stuffing a pillow over my head to no avail.

My current solution is to listen to white noise played through my wired Apple earbuds.
My approach has its disadvantages.
Its also distracting to have your phone a few inches from your head 24 hours a day.

The Sleepbuds are my salvation.
These are no normal earbuds, which are often cumbersome and bulky.
They are incredibly light and comfortable, made out of a squishy plastic material.
There was seemingly no room to fit in a battery that could handle streaming inside the earbuds.
The Noise Masking sounds are intended to block out noise.
Naturescapes offer natural sounds, such as rain or leaves rustling.
Some of the sounds come downloaded onto the earbuds, while others can be downloaded with Boses Sleep app.
The sound quality is excellent for sleep.
The Sleepbuds come in a nifty charging case that looks like a futuristic, rounded mints tin.
There are glowing bars on the inside of the case to show that the buds are charging.
Some might call $249.95 for a pair of earbuds that dont play any tunes too expensive.
I say you cant put a price on a good nights sleep.
