Bose announced the availability of its noise-masking sleepbuds which, according to the company, combine an ultra-comfortable design with soothing sounds to block, cover and replace the most common noises that interfere with sleep. The Bose sleepbuds will retail for Rs 22,900 starting September 20 at Bose stores, select resellers and on the online platforms boseindia.com, Amazon.in and Flipkart.com.
Bose noise-masking technology, Sleep app and sleepbud charging case
Bose sleepbuds are the smallest Bose product ever made by the company and are packed with proprietary technology. They come with 10 preloaded “sleeptracks” that mirror the frequencies of snoring, neighbours, dogs, traffic, and more — hiding them beneath a layer of audio. They feature newly- patented ear tips and the company claims the battery can run for up to 16 hours.
The sleepbuds are the first Bose product to use Bose noise-masking technology. They aren’t active noise cancelling headphones, they’re not in-ear headphones with an added feature and they don’t stream music as they are optimised for sleep.
Each bud weighs 1.4 grams and measures over 1 cm wide and high. The sleepbuds come in a brushed aluminum charging case. On their exterior is a laser-etched antenna for connectivity to a phone or tablet. Inside, there’s a rechargeable silver-zinc battery, a miniscule transducer and a micro-circuit board with flash memory to store the pre-loaded noise-masking sound files. Both attach to a new noise-isolating StayHear+ Sleep tip —that creates a physical barrier to unwanted sound. StayHear+ Sleep tips are included in three sizes.
Bose sleepbuds use low-energy Bluetooth, are iOS and Android compatible, and come with the Bose Sleep app through which users can update, control and select preferences.
