For those who like to listen to music as they doze off this pillow is perfect. Some like to enjoy music while they lay in bed and some even like to fall asleep **to** their music. In any case, this sound generating pillow does the trick. It allows users to play the music of their own choosing that only the user can hear or pick from some preset soothing sounds. If none of those sounds work for the user, the pillow also plays white noise that fades in and out. The pillow itself is wireless, which solves a problem for those who fall asleep listening to music on their computer. This pillow will allow users to fall asleep to the perfect soundtrack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sound-generating-pillows:** Opportunity to innovate with new sound technologies embedded in sleeping products - **Personalized-sleep-experience:** Potential for customizable and curated audio experiences for each user's sleep needs - **Wireless-listening-devices:** A chance to change the design of listening devices from traditional earphones/headphones to more comfortable, sleeping-friendly alternatives ### Who This Affects Most - **Sleep-products:** Opportunities for pillow and bedding manufacturers to explore inclusivity of audio technology into their products - **Audio-technology:** Demand for more innovative sleeping audio technology should motivate the development of more advanced sound engineering and signal processing techniques - **Consumer-electronics:** The market is open for electronics manufacturers to develop new products that cater to personalized and user-friendly sleep audio experiences ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleep Music Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeping-music-generator.md) - [Self-Adjusting Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-smart-pillow.md) - [Comforting Pillow-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oa-speaker.md) - [Self-Powered Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-powered-smart-pillow.md) - [Sound-Playing Sleep Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundplaying-sleep-mask.md) - [Sleep-Aiding Tranquil Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-player.md) - [Snoring-Reducing Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-pillow.md) - [Smart Anti-Snore Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/derucci-antisnore-pillow.md) - [Self-Adjusting Anti-Snoring Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purelex-smart-pillow.md)
