Moved up from the A20, which had an annoying problem, and has been happy since. A set of A20 perforated ear tips on the A30s suits their tinnitus, and the better sleep easily justified the price.

Tried all four tip sizes, large sealed best. Comfortable lying on my side, I'll give them that. But my wife's snoring still gets through, just duller. Cheap foam plugs block more than these. Twice I woke up with one in the pillowcase.
SleepRecs · 10 days ago
My husband snores like a leaf blower so I figured the pricey plugs would be worth trying. Took the edge off maybe 20 percent, which is not what I paid for. And I sleep on my side, the stem presses into the pillow and by 3am one has worked loose. Cheap foam ones from the pharmacy did about the same. Nicely made, just not for me.

Sound 2.0 fixed the Velcro and fit problems of the first Sound mask; a side sleeper who is stoked with the update.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 17 days ago
Glad to upgrade from the A20 and they're used most nights. Running white noise with noise cancelling all night means the battery only lasts about seven hours, and when it dies it wakes you up.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 17 days ago
Love them. The little ear cups needed sizing down to get comfortable, and three or four sizes come in the box.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 17 days ago
An open-box Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 arrived like new and works as advertised and comfortably.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 25 days ago
Sleep improved after a few nights of dialing in the app settings and ear tip size. Customer service has been helpful, though replies can take a day.

Loop Quiet 2 at 14 dB did not block drunk housemates' shouting at night.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 29 days ago
Basic Manta works but the Velcro got loose and it digs into his ears.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 33 days ago
Coming from the rubberized first-gen Loop Quiet, the hard plastic ring does not feel secure and the standard -16 dB mode barely seems to reduce noise; the Mute inserts help, but then the Loop Quiet might as well be kept.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 36 days ago
Three days in, they rate it 6.5 out of 10: buggy and overpriced, but they keep it for its sound selection and quality.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 45 days ago
The separate eye cups were infuriatingly fiddly to position right every time the mask was taken off for a wash.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 49 days ago
Loves the Mute inserts, which make a huge difference when the TV is too loud even with the Engage 2 alone and on the NYC subway; increasingly sound-sensitive with age, they say these are saving their sanity.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 53 days ago
Arrived dead out of the box after making strange noises when plugged in, and customer support only sent automated responses while claiming replacement colors were out of stock.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 55 days ago
Uses it and likes it very much, with none of the problems others listed in over a year of ownership.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 56 days ago
Bought it refurbished at 150 dollars. After about three weeks of tuning the tones and volume it wakes them more gently, with no wifi issues.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 70 days ago
Sound mask almost every night; speaker presses on the ear on the side you lie on unless the volume is loud or it is tight.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 70 days ago
Night shift buyer of the Sound mask: speakers worth the price and the cups and speakers are adjustable.
Reddit · r/sleep · 73 days ago
Several years on the original Manta blocking light perfectly with no pressure on the eyes.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 74 days ago
On night two with Bluetooth all night, no ANC and 40-50% volume, the right bud died after 7 hours with the left at about 10%. Worse battery life than their A20s, though still described as OK.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 79 days ago
Finds it works well generally and likes the gentle alarm, but dislikes that the clock runs slow and needs a phone sync to set the time.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 79 days ago
Nobody in the family likes the Classic because it is too loud.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 80 days ago
Several Classic units are perfectly good and last a long while with occasional cleaning.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 81 days ago
Owns one and finds it high maintenance with an unintuitive clock interface and a clunky iOS app.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 85 days ago
Has had it a while and likes the wake up sounds and the sleep meditations on the clock, wishing for more content on the device.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 86 days ago
Sound 2 is the only mask that works for a side sleeper, but the Velcro stops holding after a few washes.
Reddit · r/sleep · 94 days ago
Owns the Silk and the regular Manta, both block light perfectly; prefers the regular and recommends it over the silk.
Reddit · r/sleep · 95 days ago
Ozlo switches to white noise once she falls asleep, which helps with pet noise.
Reddit · r/sleep · 95 days ago
Ozlo 2 is a favorite after trying many: great battery life, small and lightweight.
Reddit · r/sleep · 102 days ago
Sound mask eye cups are too bulky and uncomfortable despite liking the mask otherwise.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 104 days ago
Treat these as bedtime music earbuds rather than true noise-canceling headphones, because the active noise cancellation is practically nonexistent beyond passive ear-tip plugging. In a noisy room you have to crank the masking audio louder than the outside noise.
Reddit · r/sleep · 105 days ago
Loves Manta masks except the Silk, whose band must be snug to block light; moved the silk cups to the Pro band.
Reddit · r/sleep · 108 days ago
Lost more sleep adjusting it than before getting it, and the Velcro noise kept the husband awake. The beige fabric lets light in on the sides unless the cups are pressed tightly against the face.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 109 days ago
Just bought, and the claim that the device must be restarted to change the backlight color is definitely true.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 112 days ago
Work phenomenally at lowering background noise for auditory overstimulation while still allowing conversation, but even the extra small tips put enough pressure on the ear to cause pain, so they can't keep them in.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 112 days ago
The right earbud went almost silent after 3-4 months; the replacement took months and has the same issue.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 113 days ago
A30 Special sits flat, stays in while tossing, has no connectivity issues, and the battery lasts all night.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 115 days ago
Almost a year in on Android, the buttons have not turned yellow, the display is readable during the day and red mode works fine, and they really love the clock.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 120 days ago
Four units over two years all developed a grinding fan noise at mid-to-high speeds after six to eight months of nightly use, though warranty replacements through support were easy.
Reddit · r/earplugs · 134 days ago
Tested Loop Quiet 2 against three $1 silicone earplugs: identical fit and seal, slightly better build quality for 25 times the price.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 141 days ago
Restore 3 bought in March 2026: the sunrise light was magic, but the app is required, features sit behind a subscription, and the white noise glitched at day 40.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 143 days ago
Least comfortable of the sleep buds compared: the bud sticks out past the ear and pushes in when side sleeping, causing pain. SomniPods are a bit smaller and more comfortable, though there was pain with both.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 143 days ago
Their husband, who got maybe 4 hours of broken sleep even on Ambien, now sleeps well without it after about a month. As a side sleeper he doesn't feel them at all, though finding the right fit took some tweaking.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 143 days ago
Reaching a real person to arrange a return took days, and no refund has been issued even after shipping the unit back in original packaging.
Reddit · r/earplugs · 155 days ago
Creates an internal voice-echoing occlusion effect inside the head that feels worse than standard cheap earplugs.
Reddit · r/sleep · 155 days ago
Loves the Pro mask but a cup began peeling with light use and customer service would not help.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 162 days ago
Bought a used one on eBay and has had it a couple of weeks. They like it for keeping their phone out of the bedroom and for the sleep sounds.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 162 days ago
After years of putting up with quirks for a handful of useful features, the clock completely died.
Reddit · r/sleep · 163 days ago
Repositionable cups stop the mask touching his nose, the only mask that works for him.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 178 days ago
Bought it years ago and dislikes the app, the single brightness level, the yellowing buttons and the subscription upsell.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 178 days ago
Got used to the quiet getup tone and can now sleep through the alarm, so they advise heavy sleepers to avoid it.
Reddit · r/sleep · 179 days ago
Thin speakers do not strain his ears as a side sleeper, but Velcro on the cups disintegrated in two years and no replacements exist.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 185 days ago
Loved for study in work-like settings: it muffles background noise enough to concentrate while still hearing when someone speaks directly, with the least underwater feel, and works better for voices than the Experience 2.
Reddit · r/LoopEarplugs · 186 days ago
Worn at a loud wedding with music and conversation, they dampened sound enough to be tolerable for someone with a dizziness condition while still letting them hear table conversations better than their tablemates.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 197 days ago
Bought a secondhand one, got a refurbished replacement from support, and likes it. The alarm still worked during a power outage.
Reddit · r/sleep · 199 days ago
After a few years with the Manta Pro it blocked light well when adjusted but rode up and pushed on his ears
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 200 days ago
Struggles to sleep without them; they block noise, even a snoring partner and barking dog, though couples get 3-4 years before battery and connection issues.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 200 days ago
A30 noise cancellation works for snoring partners and they suit side sleepers, though the tight seal can itch.
Reddit · r/Wellworn · 206 days ago
Roughly 1,000 nights over three years has really improved sleep quality with no going back to cheap flat masks, though the eye cups got noticeably flattened and the band stretched out.
Reddit · r/sleep · 207 days ago
Comfort gets 9 out of 10, noticeable in the ear but no issue with side sleeping. Audio quality gets 8 out of 10 with decent bass and wins easily over the Ozlo pair tried and returned.
Reddit · r/sleep · 207 days ago
Comfort was 10/10 but audio quality was tinny with little bass, so he returned them.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 210 days ago
Setup and daily use have been a nightmare since purchase, and customer support is largely unresponsive and unhelpful.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 211 days ago
Silicone putty worked well but needs periodic replacement.

Four Manta masks and all of them are loved. Large head and light sleeper, and this was the best out of way too many tried. The pro gets the most wear and the weighted one puts you right out.
Reddit · r/sleep · 214 days ago
Loves the Manta Pro with a padded velcro strap, his favorite mask for comfort, but it won't stay on his head
Reddit · r/sleep · 219 days ago
Pretty solid for side sleeping after a few months, but the battery life was disappointing.
Reddit · r/sleep · 219 days ago
Having used both, finds the A30 superior to the Ozlo in every way except long-term comfort.
Reddit · r/digitalminimalism · 224 days ago
Over a year in and can't recall the alarm ever failing to go off, but ends up using the phone's own alarm more because it is simpler than loading the Loftie app.

Loves the concept of the Restore 3 but finds it not worth the price and is tired of paying a subscription
Reddit · r/sleep · 237 days ago
Loves her Restore 3: the light wakes her before the alarm and the bedtime stories quiet her to-do list

Amazing noise blocking and comfortable, but a barking dog still wakes him.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 253 days ago
Streaming is terrible, but the masking sound is good and comfortable; many warranty claims.

Classic is nice but not loud enough to cover hotel noise.

The classic Manta works great at first but after 4 to 5 months the strap loses its grip and the mask is impossible to wear

A long-time Restore 3 user who loves it and says the free version offers more than expected

With white noise they block most sound and are the only buds that work for this stomach sleeper.

Original Manta for night shifts: blocks 100 percent of light and no comfort issues once adjusted; one cup had missing stitching but support replaced the cups.

Years of the Silk: best mask he has used, comfortable and breathable with detachable eye cups.

Gave up on Ozlo and Soundcore Bluetooth earbuds because the batteries die before he wakes after 10+ hours in bed

Calls it literally the greatest sleeping aid device they have ever used and would happily pay the premium price again and again.

Charging on the new-gen model was really problematic, working maybe one in a hundred tries with the USB-C charger; the replacement they were given had the same problem.

Sound 2 arrived with a broken speaker, poor sound, poor fit and shifts when side sleeping; replacement has been a hassle.

Restore 3 relies on an app that keeps failing; without it the clock is a paperweight, and he is returning it.
Reddit · r/sleep · 312 days ago
Restore 3 gift: app outage was frustrating but it has helped his night routine and cut screen time.

Sound mask is customizable and she planned to keep it, but even at maximum the sound lacks resonance.
Reddit · r/sleep · 316 days ago
Owns the Pro and the Silk: Pro cups are stiff, the Silk's softer cups give a far better seal.

Her alarm sound plays only about three minutes and then the light shuts off too, leaving her in the dark
Reddit · r/neurodiversity · 327 days ago
The only earplugs found to block enough noise for sleep, unlike the Loop versions, which are good for concerts but not nearly noise cancelling enough; after wearing them all night, every night, the ear canals sometimes hurt and feel chafed.
Reddit · r/sleep · 336 days ago
Standard mask was uncomfortable at first, then he loved it and bought the Pro, which he cannot sleep without.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 337 days ago
Older 33 dB foam plugs blocked out a lot of sound, though reviews say newer versions are made of cheaper material and do not work as well.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 337 days ago
Called the best for sleep, with the highest noise reduction available at 33 dB, and the foam can be trimmed a bit shorter so it does not bang into the pillow.
Reddit · r/sleep · 339 days ago
Works without technical problems so far, but feels underwhelming overall and looks less impressive in real life than in product photos.
Reddit · r/sleepheadphones · 347 days ago
Way more comfortable and adjustable than SleepPhones. The eye cups, headband, and speaker positions all adjust easily, and the battery lasts three to four nights per charge.
Reddit · r/sleep · 347 days ago
Bought the Silk on Black Friday: it leaks light, presses hard around the eyes, and the sale purchase could not be returned.
Reddit · r/sleep · 347 days ago
Basic grey Manta with an elastic strap: little light leak even with CPAP nasal pillows; strap not felt at all.

First pair never worked, replacement took forever, and the second pair became unreliable after eight months.

Enjoying the A20 as a side sleeper: cheaper, longer-lasting charging case, and they simply work out of the case.

Bought the A20 while waiting for replacement Ozlos; it does the same thing with no connection issues, though less premium.

One bud stopped working after nine months and a replacement failed again within six; comfortable but glitchy.

Chosen to avoid alarm clock subscriptions, but across nearly three years of ownership it struggles to stay connected and requires constant fiddling or phone app control at night.

The Manta mask gives deeper sleep in his bright city room but the lack of morning light leaves him groggy for hours

Infuriating. It can't stay on for more than five seconds despite dozens of adjustments, slipping down or up immediately. The Velcro busts even when ratcheted tight.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 396 days ago
Worked fine over two years of use, aside from occasional quirks where setting an alarm tries to pair the bedside light with the clock.

Less than a year after purchase, the unit randomly reset, logged out of the app, wiped the account, and failed to reconnect to Wi-Fi, with unhelpful AI customer service.

All positive across the silk, regular, and pro versions, especially the silk and pro. Super comfortable, easy to sleep in any position, and it really keeps the light out.

Pro eye cups leave deep pressure indentations from side sleeping; she uses her Sound mask as a loose mask instead.

Used nightly with a white noise machine and AC, occasional street honking and sirens still come through, and the plugs leave their ears sore and them groggy unless pushed in deep.
Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 476 days ago
Essentially unusable for two months after getting stuck looping between startup screens, only briefly showing the home screen before freezing or losing sound.

Sound mask battery died after 1.5 years and Manta would not replace it.

Great when bought on discount without the paid subscription, offering built-in brown noise, guided meditations, breathing exercises, and a battery backup for unplugged nighttime use.

Very small, portable, and runs on battery for 8 hours or can stay plugged in. A few different sounds and volume, and very easy to use.

Excellent because it goes in the car or to the grandparents' house to help with naps, and charges with a cellphone charger.
