SleepPhones Effortless

What is it? If you struggle to get to sleep at night, the solution could be something like the SleepPhones Effortless – especially if you have to put up with a snoring partner. It’s the wireless version of the eponymously-named SleepPhones (pictured to the right), a soft headband with slimline, wireless headphones embedded inside, designed to help you drift off to relaxing music.

When’s it due? April 2016.

Why are we excited? We all probably know someone whose snoring keeps others awake at night, so this could help suffering partners drown out the noise. But they’re also good for anyone who’s wanted to nod off to soothing music without the discomfort of traditional earphones.
