SleepPhones Classic review

SleepPhones Classic is the low-cost entry point to sleep audio and the cheapest product we compared. AcousticSheep calls it the first sleep headphones, and the design is simple: super thin speakers inside a soft SheepCloud headband, connected by a flexible 4-foot cord to any device with a standard 3.5 mm audio jack. With no battery, there is nothing to charge, which suits people who play audio from an old phone, an MP3 player or a bedside sound machine. The speakers come out so the hypoallergenic band can be machine washed, and the same small, medium and large sizes and fabric choices as the wireless models are offered. The trade-offs are the cord, which can catch when you roll over, and the jack, since many current phones need an adapter. Like the other headbands, it covers noise with audio instead of sealing the ear. At $39.95 with 30-day returns, it is a cheap way to learn whether a headband suits you.
