Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 take a different approach from the plugs above: rather than just blocking sound, they cover it. You can stream music, podcasts or an app such as Calm or Audible from any Bluetooth source, and Ozlo says the buds detect when you fall asleep and automatically switch from streaming to noise masking tuned to soften snoring and traffic. Each bud weighs 1.6 g and is 11 mm tall, and Ozlo says they are comfortable on your side. Battery life is up to 14 hours per charge in Ozlo's testing, enough for a long night. A built-in alarm plays in your ears only, so one partner can get up without waking the other. The buds have no microphone, and the case and app add sleep pattern and environment tracking. At $279 they are the priciest option here, and they need charging. Ozlo includes a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back policy, and the buds are HSA/FSA approved.
