The Best Headphones To Help You Sleep Through the Night

The Hoomband Wireless is a headband-style pair of headphones that wrap around your head — it eliminates the problem of earbuds falling out while you sleep, which is especially nice for people with weirdly-shaped ears or move around a lot at night. It works like a traditional pair of wireless headphones; so you can listen to music from any streaming service. There's also an app where you can access to sounds that have been specifically engineered to block out sound while you sleep. It's got a little bit of everything, and is more affordable that many other less-capable options.

The Sleepbuds II are wireless earbuds that are specifically designed to block out noises — like a snoring partner, loud neighbors and other miscellaneous sounds — while you sleep. They can't stream music, but they do play sounds that are engineered to cancel out the sound frequencies that disturb your sleep. These sounds include rustling leaves, ocean waves and blowing wind. You select these sounds in the Bose Sleep app. Yes, at $249, the Sleepbuds II are definitely on the premium side, but there are few other sleep headphones that are as sophisticated and as comfortable.

Moita's Sleep Headphones are the most affordable option out there — and they're simple and effective. It's a headband-pair of headphones with speakers over each ear. You slip it on, it fits snug, and you stream audio from your smartphone over Bluetooth. The headband ensures that you it'll stay on your ears all night.

The SleepPhones Wireless are another headband-style pair of headphones that designed for people who sleep on their sides. The flat speaker slip into padded slots on either side of the headband, which is light enough to cover your eyes and used as a face mask. There's no special companion app that provides special sounds, but it does work as a traditional Bluetooth headset so you can stream whatever music you like. It's available in three sizes (small/medium/large) and in either a warm fleece or light breathable fabric.

The Amazfit Zenbuds are a more affordable alternative to the Bose Sleepbuds II — and if they fit your ears, they're probably even a better bet. Like the Sleepbuds II, these sleep-masking earbuds can't stream music from your smartphone, but play relaxing sounds that are specifically designed to block out ambient noises and help you sleep. The Zenbuds are unique because they have built-in sensors for sleep-tracking and it shuts off the sounds after it detects that you've fallen asleep. The only downside is that the U-shaped in-ear design might not be as comfortable for some.

The Bedphones Wireless are specially-designed earphones for sleep. The earpads are very thin and they have an integrated earhook so that they stay on your ears at night. They work like traditionally Bluetooth wireless earbuds so you can stream whatever music you like. And there's a remote control integrated right into the wire to allow you to adjust volume or skip tracks.
