Disappointing Product
I do NOT recommend "Sleep Phones!" I have only written two product reviews in my decades of shopping online. One is for this product, and the other for the sleeping headphones I recommend. This product was so disappointing, I felt I had to say something. I was excited about this idea and eager to try these (even though they seemed a bit expensive). My Sleep Phones lasted approx. 6 months! Now I know why the company sells replacement speakers. After normal use, my Sleep Phones fell apart (except for the headband). The headband was comfortable enough, but it stretched out and became too loose much too quickly. The rubbery, loose, material, which covers the wires, twisted very easily and tore in several places--leaving the wires exposed (never seen anything like this set up for covering headphone wires!). The speakers themselves are compact and flat, but out of the 3 similar sleeping headphones I've purchased, these have the worst sound quality. After about 4 months, the first speaker broke, and about 2 months later, the second broke. The speakers are covered with two pieces of felt only!! When I opened up the felt to see if I could reattach something in order to get the speaker to work again, I was surprised to see a bare speaker and wires! The ends of the wires were not covered in the rubbery stuff, but completely exposed and simply glued to the speaker. Any time you remove the speakers to wash your headband, or any time you situate your speakers to fit against your ear more comfortably, you are risking tearing these delicate, tiny wires!! Unbelievable...as if they are put together in someone's garage. While I'm all for supporting cottage industry, paying a bit more, and buying local, etc., I also expect a quality product. I must say the delivery of the product was quick and hassle free. But for $20.00 less, I recommend "Tooks." The difference in products is substantial! The sound quality of Tooks is superior. The Took's 100% Micro Fleece headband's fit is superior, tailored, and professional (and no velcro!). And you can buy a variety of hats/headbands to use with your Tooks speakers. The Tooks speakers and wires are covered with normal, hopefully reliable, materials. The speakers are larger, but I'm a side-sleeper, and once I adjust them to just the right comfort level, I'm fine, and my ears aren't sore. I hope this review helps those who need this sort of product to assist with a good night's sleep.
