The "1-Minute" Review

Verdict

The battle for sleep headphones continues but the AcousticSheep Sleepphones Effortless has a pretty good score and very little going against them. Reviewers were overall very pleased with these sleep headphones.

What's good

  • Wireless charging
  • Will pair with most Bluetooth devices
  • One year warranty
  • 30-day return policy
  • 10-hour battery life

What's bad

  • Fleece headband could cause sweating
  • Speakers sometimes roam inside the band

Sleep is essential. In a noisy world, a good pair of sleeping headphones can help block out the hustle and bustle outside your door -- or cover up that snoring partner. As such, there’s a lot of competition for the best headphones designed for rest. Here’s how reviewers feel about the AcousticSheep SleepPhones Effortless.

Design & Materials

The fleece headband makes the headphones soft and comfortable against your skin. However, some reviewers found them a little too sweaty. There are no wires to worry about, and the tiny Bluetooth receiver is inside the band making it a completely self-contained package.

Comfort & Fit

As mentioned before, depending on your personal thermostat, the fleece headband can get warm through the night and cause sweating. Other than that, reviewers gave the headphones a big thumbs up.

Sound

Obviously being ultra-thin on-ear headphones tucked within a band, these aren’t going to delight audiophiles or make your favorite movies or music come to life. But that doesn’t mean they’re bad by any means.

Reviewers were very happy with the sound provided, noting that you can easily listen to something at night without worrying if your partner might be bothered by audio bleed.

Wireless Performance

The AcousticSheep SleepPhones Effortless connected fluidly and remained connected throughout use for all reviewers. The range is decent as well, so you can likely set your phone further away from your bed without worry of dropped audio or stuttering.

Battery Life

AcousticSheep reports 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. Reviewers found this estimate accurate depending on the volume used. The Sleepphones Effortless comes with an induction (i.e. wireless) charging plate to avoid having to mess around with wires and tiny cable ends. Simply set it on the charging plate and 2 or 3 hours later they’re charged for use.

Noise Cancellation

These headphones do not offer active or passive noise cancellation.

The Takeaway

The battle for sleep headphones continues but the AcousticSheep Sleepphones Effortless has a pretty good score and very little going against them. Reviewers were overall very pleased with these sleep headphones.

TheSleepJudge says, “A very trivial definition of what SleepPhones delivers is headphones integrated in a headband. But the products that the company provides are way more complex and feature-packed, going way beyond such a simple definition.”

Geek Dad states, “SleepPhones remain the best solution I’ve found for sleep headphones. They’re extremely comfortable and offer decent audio performance. Each option they add just makes them better and the SleepPhones Effortless live up their name, removing the last remaining annoyance from these sleep headphones”
