Don’t need the features. Need to not have a drill bit in my ear.
I’m going to make this sorta like a Dr Seuss book:
The short story:
I do not want ANC
I do not want a sound app
I do not want unstoppable low battery alerts
I do not want onboard buttons that can’t be turned off
I do not want to spend megabucks on buds with features that I do not want just to get the features I do want ( the above)
A pillow with holes does not work for me
Sleep masks and headbands do not work for me
Side sleeper I am
Long story: 1) not even the dog snores, much less my husband, and we are in a quiet location. But he can’t stand my sleep sounds music, so I gotta get it in my ears. I don’t want to pay for ANC I don’t need.
- I have my own tried and true playlists on my own iPad. I don’t want to have to go to, or pay for, yet another app for my sounds.
I have P20is and no you cannot turn off the low battery alerts on this model, not in the soundcore app, not anywhere. Wakes me up at 5 am, aside from being torture to sleep on.
since I don’t need the fancy features, paying a weeks income for Oslo’s and A30s makes no sense. 5)but, haven’t found cheap tiny buds that permanently turn off alerts and the buttons on the buds… they keep re-enabling. Randomly. At 4 a.m. moving my head skips the sound around, or shrill high voice shrieking “low battery!”. STFU.
I move around way too much to keep my ear in a pillow hole, and I have to use a special pillow for my bad neck anyhow. No go there. You people who can keep your head in one place all night- what planet are you from?!
- A LC Dollida headband was kinda great (apart from waking up sweating my head off) until the elastic started giving me a bald spot in my hair at the top of my forehead. Masks over my eyes are not gonna happen: claustrophobic, and with all those senior night trips to bathroom, pushing it up to see will take me back to the bald spot issue. I have a low forehead so any band is a potential problem.
- has to be tiny/flat like an Ozlo - totally a side sleeper. Frankly, I don’t care about high sound quality in the middle of the night, either. I’m ASLEEP. If it’s working.
Can anyone recommend tiny flat-ish cheap buds shaped like ozlos, that last most of the night, don’t have any freakin alerts or accidental button press issues ( and retain those settings) and don’t make one bald, or sweaty, or feel like you’re lying on a drill bit?
I’m just one cranky and impoverished old woman but jeez.
Oh yes, and you can suggest my husband wear earplugs. Good luck to me with that. The man is mostly deaf to mostly everything all day, even if he can made to wear his hearing aids, but in bed, if a sock falls silently from the bed to the floor at 2 am, he’s like WHAT’S THAT, and any modification to his own sleeping rituals results in him moaning and groaning all day, which is worse than having an earbud drill a hole into in my brain.
And … he doesn’t snore… so I kinda struck gold there.
So anyway, back to cheap “dumb” earbud suggestions?
