They usually promote for $179.99, making this a standout deal for a pair of ultra-tiny sleep buds that I barely discover as I drift off to the soothing sounds of rain or birdsong.
I’ve had mine since they launched in 2024 and put on them virtually each night time. I like that they embrace built-in soundscapes, so I don’t have to hold my telephone close by. However with a fast faucet, they swap into commonplace Bluetooth earbuds if I resolve I’d reasonably go to sleep to The Tortured Poets Division streaming from my telephone.
This yr, Anker launched an energetic noise-canceling mannequin, the A30, which can also be on sale for $179.99 at Amazon (down from $229). Whereas ANC will surely assist block out extra noise, the battery-life hit that my colleague Thomas Ricker famous in his evaluate makes me completely content material with my A20s. They’ll last as long as 14 hours, in comparison with 6 to 9 hours on the A30s. Sleep buds are ineffective in the event that they’re useless.
