Get more in-depth ZDNET tech coverage: Add us as a preferred Google source, with several upgrades (and an icy new mint color). I tested the earbuds out during one noisy night and even put them to the test in the chatter-filled office to see if they were up to snuff.
The job of a sleep earbud is fairly simple. It should stay in your ear throughout the night (a tall order for me, a girl who’s constantly tossing and turning), mask most of the disruptive noise around you, and be comfortable enough to feel like it’s dissolving into your ear (and not a hard piece of plastic in between your ear and your pillow).
The Soundcore Sleep A30 attempts to address all of these issues. It’s got a thin, flat build with wing tips to properly twist and set in the ear. It comes with active noise cancellation (new to this model) to dim down sound, and two types of ear tips, silicone for comfort and foam for further cancellation.
Lots of options, and great battery
Other nice-to-have features include automatic sleep monitoring, which kind of works (and heavily depends on the earbuds staying in all night). There’s also a repeatable (and snoozable) alarm within the earbuds, and a Find My Earbuds functionality when they inevitably slip out of your ears and into your sheets throughout the night.
What I’d like to see in the next model
Also, I have to take into account their price. At $230, I’d recommend waiting until they go on sale during Black Friday or Prime Day. Alternatively, I’d suggest buying the Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds
