Have you ever had trouble sleeping because of bothersome sounds? Cars on the street outside your window, someone else in the room snoring, the constant noise of a CPAP machine, even ringing in your ears due to tinnitus—these and more may affect sleep onset. You can try any number of\u00a0bedroom noise reduction measures<\/a>, of course; but many people prefer to combat sound with sound, in the form of white noise or calming music.<\/p>\n The latter can even help with mood and sleep disorders<\/a>, such as anxiety and insomnia. However, listening to music unobtrusively to help with sleep comes with a whole set of issues. Headphones are the logical choice, but most models are often too bulky or too flimsy, and just not really designed to be used in bed.<\/p>\n Enter: DubsLabs. Headquartered in Oregon, the 2011-founded company has—from the very beginning—made headphones, called Bedphones, specifically for sleeping.<\/p>\n What is it about\u00a0Bedphones that makes them great for sleep? To answer that, let’s look at\u00a0the product’s\u00a0materials, design, and additional offerings.<\/p>\n The main parts are the cable, speaker covers, drivers, jack, microphone and button remote.<\/p>\n DubsLabs claims that Bedphones are the\u00a0world’s smallest on-ear headphones, and we’re inclined to agree. The entire product is lightweight at around 3\/4 of an ounce\u00a0or\u00a0 more or less than 0.05 pounds. Each speaker is less than 1\/4 of an inch thick.<\/p>\n Unlike some sleep headphones that feature a headband<\/a> to secure speakers over your ears, Bedphones have flexible hooks. You can bend and mold and adjust these to secure the sleep headphones and fix them in place infinite times.<\/p>\n Each Bedphones purchase comes with\u00a0a compact case for carrying and storage. There’s also a satin eye mask\u00a0and two pairs of replacement speaker foams.<\/strong><\/p>\n While this is not technically included in the box—and really, you can use this even without the DubsLabs product—there’s also a free Bedphones mobile app that’s available for both iOS and Android.<\/p>\n This helps you manage the music you listen to during bedtime and beyond, with a timer mode and even a smart mode that stops music once your smartphone senses that you’re asleep.\u00a0Worth mentioning here that this mode only works, obviously, with phones that actually have an accelorometer to detect movement—or lack thereof.<\/p>\n For a small pair of headphones at this price point, the sound is pretty good. It’s not the best, but for sleep onset,\u00a0the amount of detail doesn’t have to be studio quality. Also: It’s important to note that unlike some headphones marketed for sleep, Bedphones are not<\/em> meant to be noise-cancelling.<\/p>\n Here’s some additional information for\u00a0the audiophiles out there: Bedphones have an impedance of\u00a032 \u03a9 \u00b115% and a frequency range of\u00a020Hz-20kHz. What do these numbers mean? Simply put, low impedance headphones require much less power for higher audio levels; so it’s best for battery-powered and portable gear like smartphones and small music players.<\/p>\n Bedphones have an impedance that’s just a hair above what’s generally considered low—less than 25\u00a0\u03a9—which means that while they may demand a little bit more power, they’re also less likely to be damaged from overloading; and can be used with a wider range of compatible devices.<\/p>\n Frequency range, on the other hand, is simply the amount of frequencies you are able to hear out of the product.\u00a0Like most standard headphones, Bedphones allow you to hear the entirety of the generally accepted spectrum of audible sounds: from treble highs to bass lows.<\/p>\n If your Bedphones fit perfectly—more on that later—you’ll be able to enjoy music, white noise, binaural beats and whatever else you feel like listening to without any trouble; and even though they’re on-ear headphones, the sound isn’t likely to leak out enough to disturb anyone else who may be sleeping near you.<\/p>\n Bedphones come in two colors: black and a vibrant blue. Not sold on the idea of Bedphones completely? There are other DubsLabs variants that may be a better fit for you.<\/p>\n There is a wireless version of Bedphones with 13 hours of battery life and Bluetooth compatibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s sold at much a higher price point $(149) and is only available in one color combination—black speaker covers and blue cable—but it is much better for fussy sleepers that toss and turn.<\/p>\n There is an initial adjustment that you need to make once you get your Bedphones.<\/p>\n You need to mold the memory wire ear hooks to fit your ears contours properly and hopefully in such a way that it causes no discomfort and allows for the best sound quality. To do this, for both left and right earphones you are instructed to position the speaker against your ear and directly over the ear canal; and then bend the memory wire up and over the back of your ear.<\/p>\n Finding a fit that works perfectly takes time, so you shouldn’t be afraid to adjust the memory wire and the angle of the speakers against your ears. A slider on the cable is provided to tighten the Bedphones, at the front or back of your neck, and keep it secure and in place\u00a0throughout sleep.<\/p>\n Once you’ve found the fit that works for you, Bedphones should be a breeze to use.<\/p>\n DubsLabs’s patented design is versatile and adjustable, and is meant to be good enough to accommodate everyone.\u00a0<\/strong>The truth? Human anatomy isn’t homogenous enough for that.<\/p>\n If it fits like a glove, you probably will forget that you’re even wearing them—no matter what your sleeping position is.\u00a0We’ve come across\u00a0numerous\u00a0positive reviews of the product that confirm this!<\/p>\n However, if your ears are not the correct shape or size, it can be difficult to find a sleeping position comfortable enough to maintain while wearing Bedphones. The bulk of negative customer reviews cite this—and flimsiness, which we will discuss in a bit—as a major disappointment.<\/p>\n In terms of comfort as it relates to sleep onset, great fitting Bedphones\u00a0are probably be a godsend for people wanting to take calls and listen to music without possibly affecting their sleep-wake cycle. Smartphones are a source of artificial light, and the temptation to use them—for browsing social media, playing games, etc.—is only strengthened by actually holding them; so the inline microphone and the button remote helps a lot.<\/p>\n DubsLabs founder Eric Dubs wasn’t playing around when he decided to\u00a0develop and manufacture sleep headphones. First of all, there is a measure of comfort\u00a0to be had with DubsLabs specializing in headphones—and more specifically, headphones for sleep. This is not some big name, faceless corporation or all-around manufacturer getting into a niche market.<\/p>\n Dubs actually went through almost one hundred handmade prototypes before the first version of Bedphones was launched, and the company didn’t stop improving upon the product after that, either. In fact, what’s available now is actually called Bedphones Gen. 3.5!<\/p>\n Compared to the original Bedphones, Gen. 3.5 has speakers that are 15% thinner, ear hooks that are more ergonomic, and cables that are thicker and more durable. The microphone and button remote are also new additions.<\/p>\n The point we’re making here is that DubsLabs seems to want to grow along with its customer base; and is consistent when it comes to making improvements and additions to make their products better. That’s a great unsaid company promise.<\/p>\n As\u00a0we looked at customer reviews, we noticed that this product elicits a very interesting average response from its users—in that there is no real average. People either love it or hate it, which could be the result of the fit.<\/p>\n There is also the issue of flimsiness, especially with the wired version. Previous Bedphones designs—remember that we’re up to 3.5 now, several iterations away from the original—were apparently prone to not some parts not working properly or straight up failing.<\/p>\n Is this a cause for concern? Yes and no. Most negative feedback had to do with product issues, and a great number of these still mentioned great customer support from DubsLabs.<\/p>\n The customer service team is responsive and attentive, and—as we will note below—adept at handling returns if needed. We also appreciate the extensive FAQ section on the brand’s official website, as well as the live chat support bot.\u00a0When we initially reviewed Dubslabs Bedphones’ previous iteration last year, we noted a lack of customer support, and we’re thrilled to see that this has been rectified.<\/p>\n Yes, yes and yes! This is another thing that’s improved greatly since we published our initial DubsLabs Bedphones review. The existence of a 100% satistafion, 30-day money back guarantee is clearly noted in every product page on the brand’s official website; as well as a one-year\u00a0manufacturer’s warranty.<\/p>\n This means that when you purchase DubsLabs Bedphones, you have 30 days to see if it is compatible with the way you sleep. The warranty also eases many of our worries regarding potential durability issues and flimsiness.<\/p>\n As of this writing, DubsLabs Bedphones Gen. 3.5 are $89.00, with free US shipping (3-6 business days). If you’re in the US: Once you place an order, expect it to arrive within two to five days. The Wireless Bedphones version (HardRock) is significantly more expensive at $149, but the design does potentially make Bedphones much more comfortable and less prone to breaking.<\/p>\n Bedphones are attractive, and their adjustable nature combined with the mobile app appeals to us here at Good Night’s Rest.\u00a0That the product is lightweight and includes a microphone and button remote is also ideal. We’re all about minimizing exposure to artificial light at nighttime<\/a>, and these features help a lot.<\/p>\n When we initially reviewed DubsLabs Bedphones Gen. 3, we were skeptical because of a lack of a clearly stated money back guarantee and warranty. However, in this current update, we’ve found that this is no longer true! We can wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone looking for sleep headphones with these customer-friendly features in place.<\/p>\n If you sleep hot or feel uncomfortable wearing headbands to sleep, DubsLabs may just be the innovative design to fit your sleeping habits!
