These buds have some of my favorite fall asleep sounds that let me drift off consistently. EEG features are great! I love that I don’t lose my spot if I watch a show or listen to a book. I do feel more refreshed when using them, though they are so from traditional trackers. Pair well with Apple Watch or other low lift device to get intricacies of sleep.

I just started using the product, and I’m really liking it so far. I enjoy using them as my daily earbuds. I definitely see an improvement in my focus when wearing these smartbuds while I work. I’m excited to see new features and how they help my sleep.
Developer Response
Appreciate the kind words! We're hearing about more and more folks using Smartbuds for deep work and other daytime activities. Stay tuned for more developments on this front :)
Way too loud for sleeping
grehce
Unable to lower the volume, too noisy to sleep with. Seems to be a software bug when you launch sleep, the volume gets locked. Not comfortable as a side sleeper. Prefer the hatch even if it plays to the room. Really wanted to like this and was so curious about the metrics. Ugh, returning.
