The Snoozeband is a soft headband with flat wireless speakers. I tried it because ordinary headphones and earbuds can feel awkward when listening to spoken audio in bed.
What I like
- the speakers sit inside a soft fabric band
- there are no loose headphone cables
- the controls are straightforward once paired
- it can be more comfortable than conventional earbuds for some sleeping positions
Comfort is personal. The position of the speakers, fit of the band and pressure against the pillow will suit some people better than others.
What to consider
- it needs charging
- Bluetooth pairing is required
- the speaker position may need adjusting
- the band may feel warm
- sound quality is designed for spoken audio and casual listening rather than critical music listening
- sleeping in any wearable device may not suit everyone
Check the manufacturer’s current instructions, materials, care information, warranty and returns policy before buying.
Using it with relaxation audio
The headband can be used to listen to guided relaxation, hypnotherapy recordings, audiobooks or quiet music. The Snoozeband itself is a listening device; I do not claim that it changes brainwaves, lowers cortisol, treats insomnia or produces a health benefit.
Never listen to hypnosis or sleep audio while driving, cycling, operating machinery or doing anything that requires your full attention.
If you have persistent sleep problems, severe daytime sleepiness, loud snoring or pauses in breathing, speak to your GP rather than relying on an audio product.
