The Bose Sleepbuds are designed to help an individual sleep better, serving as the brand's first wellness product.
This refined product combines the noise-cancelling technology of a start-up called Hush, with the audio hardware capabilities of Bose's products, to produce a comfortable and functioning sleep aid. The Sleepbuds differ from traditional head phones as they match the frequency of sounds it picks up nearby, effectively cancelling out the exterior noise, by distracting the listener from it. This makes the product perfect for an individual who sleeps next to a loud snorer, or who lives in a noisy neighborhood.
As an added benefit, these headphones were made to complement one's sleeping position, serving as a soft and durable product that can be worn comfortably with one's face in a pillow.
