Manta SOUND is for people whose sleep is broken by light as much as by noise. It is a blackout mask with C-shaped eye cups that Manta says put zero pressure on the eyes and are shaped for side sleeping, and its strap carries ultra-thin Bluetooth speakers. Tabs let you slide the speakers until they sit over your ears, which helps when your head is turned into a pillow. Manta rates the battery at 24 hours even at 100% volume, and the mask stays silent about its battery, so no voice prompt wakes you at 3 a.m. Perforated materials are meant to keep air moving. Like the SleepPhones headbands, it does not seal the ear, so it works by covering noise with your own audio. There is no app or tracking. At $159 it costs more than a SleepPhones headband, but it replaces a separate eye mask, and Manta offers 60-day returns in the US.
