Sleep plays a vital role in maintaining your overall health and well-being. Getting a restful night’s sleep supports memory, concentration, mood, and immune strength, while poor sleep can increase the risk of serious illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression. However, getting a good night’s sleep is not always easy, as sleep can be disturbed by external noises such as a partner’s snoring, noisy neighbors, or even a garbage truck in the middle of the night. With a simple solution like the Soundcore Sleep A30 sleep headphones, you can ensure a restful sleep each and every night.
The Soundcore Sleep A30 are third-generation smart sleep headphones that have a 3D ergonomic design, promoting a comfortable and pressure-free wearing experience, even for side sleepers. They feature Smart ANC with ear canal adaptation technology, which effectively blocks up to 30 dB of external noise, and a 3-stage snoring masking system powered by adaptive snoring masking technology, which blocks your partner’s snoring. They also feature automatic sleep monitoring with sleep position tracking, for which you are provided with accurate sleep quality analysis and a sleep score through the Soundcore app.
The headphones feature touch controls, Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, can also be used to listen to music and offer up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge or 45 hours with its charging case. Through the Soundcore app, you are offered AI Brainwave Audio with binaural beats that help promote relaxation and restful sleep, and you can also set wake-up alarms and play an audible alert to find the headphones in case they fall out of your ears during sleep.
Designed with deep sleep in mind, these smart sleep headphones can effectively help you fall asleep peacefully and stay asleep throughout the night, even in noisy environments.
Below is our full review of the Soundcore Sleep A30, where we explain how these sleep headphones are designed to work and go over all their notable features.
DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS
Starting with the dimensions of the headphones, the Soundcore Sleep A30 have a compact form factor and a slim, lightweight profile (7 percent thinner than the previous model, the Sleep A20), making them very comfortable to wear.
These sleeping headphones also have a unique three-dimensional ergonomic design, ensuring that they fit most users comfortably. The 3D ergonomic design of the headphones features air-filled wings with an ergonomic curved shape that helps them fit the user’s ears and helps reduce pressure while the user’s head is resting on the pillow, making them ideal for side sleepers, along with short nozzles, which promote optimal ear canal alignment.
Their slimmer profile and unique ergonomic design ultimately ensure that the earbuds don’t protrude from the user’s ears, meaning they won’t cause discomfort like more traditional headphone models typically do.
Additionally, these sleep headphones also feature a high-quality construction focused on comfort and are also rated to have an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning they can withstand sweat without getting damaged.
The headphones also come with three pairs of interchangeable ear tips in different sizes (S, M, L), four pairs of silicone ear tips in four sizes (XS, S, M, and L), which focus on promoting comfort while blocking out some noise, and three pairs of memory foam ear tips in three sizes (S, M, L), which provide a more secure fit and block out even more noise. Users can choose the wing and tip size that best fits their ears to achieve the most comfortable fit possible.
Keep in mind that every ear is different, so your right ear may need a different ear wing and tip combination than your left ear.
Lastly, these sleeping earbuds also come with a dedicated wireless charging case, which is compact and also features a sleek design that matches the minimalist aesthetic of the earbuds.
NOTABLE FEATURES
Intelligent active noise cancellation
To block out noise, the Soundcore Sleep A30 headphones use Soundcore’s Smart ANC technology with ear canal adaptation, which dynamically adjusts to your ears, making the headphones capable of effectively blocking up to 30 dB of external noise, including snoring, pet sounds, humming appliances, and even outside traffic noise.
This functionality is what essentially ensures a restful sleep while wearing the headphones.
3-stage snoring noise masking system
Additionally, Soundcore Sleep A30 also features a 3-stage snore masking system powered by adaptive snore masking technology, which helps block out the snoring of a partner on the other side of the bed.
More specifically, the earbuds’ charging case monitors and detects snoring throughout the night, while the earbuds generate noise-masking audio in the form of soothing white noise that is tuned to help mask and block a partner’s snoring by analyzing the volume and frequency of their snoring.
Automatic sleep monitoring
Like the previous model (Sleep A20), Soundcore Sleep A30 also features automatic sleep monitoring powered by a MEMS sensor and real-time clock, allowing the earbuds to accurately track your sleep movements, sleeping positions, and sleep duration.
After each night of sleep, you are provided with accurate sleep quality analysis and a sleep score through the Soundcore app, allowing you to make informed adjustments to ensure you get the optimal rest each night.
INTEGRATED TOUCH INTERFACE AND CONTROLS
To control the functionalities of the headphones, Soundcore Sleep A30 has integrated touch controls.
Double-tapping either earbud allows you to switch from Bluetooth mode to sleep mode and automatically play preloaded sleep sounds. Double-tapping again returns you to Bluetooth mode.
Controls in Bluetooth mode include double-tapping to play/pause music and triple-tapping to increase or decrease the volume level.
The earbuds’ touch controls can also be customized to your personal preferences through its mobile app.
CONNECTIVITY
To pair with your smartphone, the headphones use Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. As such, you can also use the headphones to listen to music from connected apps like Spotify or Youtube Music.
BATTERY AND BATTERY LIFE
As for battery life, each earbud can give you up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge when used in sleep mode (at 50% volume and with ANC on), or 6.5 hours of battery life for music playback.
Its wireless charging case extends the earbuds’ battery life by an additional 36 hours, giving you up to 45 hours of battery life in sleep mode (or 35 hours when used in Bluetooth mode).
To recharge the earbuds and their charging case, you simply need to place the earbuds inside the charging slots of the case and connect the included USB-C charging cable to the USB-C port of the case.
The earbuds and their charging case take around 3.28 hours (197 minutes) to fully charge.
THE SMARTPHONE APP – The Soundcore App
Users must install the Soundcore app on their smartphone (available for iOS and Android) to configure the headphones’ white noise settings, their touch control settings, and access the headphones’ sleep analytics.
Through the Soundcore app, you are offered AI Brainwave Audio to personalize your bedtime audio, for which you can choose from different binaural beats (i.e. white noise) that deliver different frequencies to each ear, helping to synchronize your brain waves with calming patterns to promote relaxation and restful sleep. Basically, this helps users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer for a peaceful night’s sleep.
You can also set wake-up alarms with a custom sound that plays through the headphones without disturbing your partner or other family members in an adjacent room. The app’s built-in alarms now also have a snooze function.
As mentioned above, you can also check the sleep data collected by the headphones through the app after each sleep session.
Lastly, the app also has a Find My Earbud feature, which lets you play an audible alert to find your earbuds in case they fall out of your ears while you sleep.
