CozyPhones Sleep Headphones - Over Ear Headphones from Ultra Thin Cool Mesh Wired for Side Sleepers, Meditation, Running, Laptop, and Phone - Black with Blue Liner

I've now had this product for over a year and have overall been happy with it. It's my second set of sleep headphones; I initially bought it because I was looking for a cooler material than my original fleece ones, and these have indeed been light and comfortable even in the summer. I use them with a white noise app on my phone turned up to the highest volume, along with earplugs, since I'm a light sleeper and my partner snores. This combination blocks out most of the noise. The ability to use both sleep headphones and earplugs is why I've chosen headphones like these rather than in-ear earbuds meant for side sleepers.For a while the speakers would slip around inside the headband every night, until I picked up a trick from these reviews: put some double-sided tape on one side of each speaker, slide the speakers into the correct place (irritating to do), and press them into place. They always stay put until I have to take them out every few weeks to wash the headband. Also, I have a smallish head and the headphones fit comfortably, rarely sliding off. And while one can easily get tangled in the cord, I've trained myself to only turn from side to side from my back, not my stomach, so the cord can't get wrapped around my neck. The cord is more than long enough for me, and I like that these headphones are not only cheaper than Bluetooth headphones but also won't die on you in the middle of the night.What's finally prompting me to write this review, though, is that the speakers have been slowly dying - I've clearly yanked the cord from my phone a few too many times and damaged the wires. I've read enough reviews on here to know that other people have had issues of longevity too, so I was planning to simply replace the headphones, possibly with another company. But first I contacted CozyPhones to ask if they sold replacement speakers separately, since the headband is still in fine shape. They offered to send me some free of charge. They responded promptly via Amazon's contact service, took my shipping address, and told me the speakers were on their way within less than 24 hours. I am very pleased with their customer service and wasn't expecting to get replacements for free.

I gifted this item to a friend so they could watch videos in bed without worrying about crushing their headphones and ruining them. Everything was perfect when the package arrived, no broken parts or torn fabric from what I saw. My friend tried it out the same day I gave it to them and they said the sound quality was amazing, it was comfortable to wear both in and out of bed, and it was pretty stylish. About a week later while I was in a call with them, they said that the left earphone stopped working suddenly. We tried to troubleshoot the problem. It only came back on briefly after fiddling with the cord and positioning it just right, but keeping it like that is tedious and virtually impossible. The right earphone stopped working just a couple days later, and the next day, there was no sound at all. For an item that was meant to be worn to bed and put up with sleepers who toss and turn and possibly lay on their phones or tablets while asleep, I was a bit disappointed that the durability didn't quite hold up as long as I thought it would. I recommend purchasing sleep phones with a more durable cord if you can, or even bluetooth ones if you don't want to deal with cords that can't hold up against a few tugs.

Shipping/Packaging: fast, with Amazon Prime; arrived in a sealed pouch and headphones/band come with their own cloth storage pouchFit/Material: I have an average adult head and these fit fine, not loose, not tight. First wear, it doesn't feel like something that will "stretch out" unless I pull on it to stretch it; it fits just in-place enough so that it's comfortable. Younger/Smaller people will likely have to adjust to fit. For me, the speakers were fine where they were; when I lay down I have to push them a little into place but its not a big deal at all, just an adjustment (the vendor does include a little note with the product with instructions on how to get the perfect fit for you.) The material is kind of like workout-clothes material. I often get really, really hot at night and even sweat and I was concerned that something on my head would feel suffocating but not the case. I knew I was wearing the CozyPhones and I could feel the speakers but this was not a disturbance at all and the headband stayed in place the whole night. The cord did not get in my way but I don't move around much while I sleep.Sound: good! Maybe it's because the speakers are so close to my ears that I'm going to hear the sound regardless, but the sound quality was good and no issue with the volume. I was concerned about having direct sound into my ear while I slept so I also wore ear plugs and still, the music was clear and volume was to my liking. FYI: I put on a Spotify Sleep Playlist, so it was just sounds - water, soft instrumental, etc.Anyway, for $14 (that's what I paid), these are awesome and they really helped to block out outside noise with the music and ear plugs combination enough so that I could finally sleep. I was still able to hear the alarm clock. I am very happy that this product exists and that it improved my sleep last night and I hope that with proper care they will last a long time.
