Sleep Headphones Bluetooth Headband, LC-dolida Wireless Sleeping Headphones IPX6 Waterproof Sport Bluetooth Headband for Birthday, Thanksgiving Day

Nice and light, however stitching around speakers could blended in better. Apart from that, great value and works perfectly.

The headband is too big and falls down when exercising. The control panel on the forehead is heavy and uncomfortable when wearing it to sleep. Went straight in the bin after two nights of frustration.

Love these sleep headphones- long lasting battery, clear sound

I love this thing. I got it for sleeping, as with my new cpap it can be difficult to fall asleep. The sound quality is great, I don’t hear the cpap anymore, and, as an unexpected bonus, it covers the little connection hooks on the mask that catch my hair all the time.

Things I don’t like. The buttons. The center power button has the circle indented and they line raised. The volume buttons have the plus and minus indented. I can’t feel any of the indented parts. So every time I change the volume, it’s a 50 50 chance I get the right one. Also, the buttons are opposite the volume display bar on my iPad, so I’m always forgetting to hit the left button to make the volume display level go right. (If that makes sense.)

It says it’s washable. I can’t figure that out. I tried to when I first got it, then decided it was too difficult and I didn’t want to break it, and gave up.

If you are a side sleeper, the little speakers can sit on your bottom ear in uncomfortable ways. I’ve woken up a few times in the morning with my ear hurting from the little hard speaker being in the wrong place. (When I first go to bed, it’s easy to get it adjusted right.)

What doesn’t bother me but may bother some. You can see the wires in the headband. So if you want to wear it out (gym, running, etc) it can look like you have weird veins on your forehead. Lol

First I want to say how super impressed I am with the sound quality of these headphones… Wow how did all of that sound get in there? The thing is, I currently work as an Audio Recording technician/engineer for streaming videos of musicians and public speakers. So I have a pretty good idea of how things should sound and these far exceeded my expectations especially at this price. I really enjoy listening to music such as The Moody Blues on these (good definition and the drums sound fantastic). Of course you wouldn’t use these for professional audio work, but for casual listening they are wonderful.

The headband is great too. When covid happened I stopped going to the barber. I’ve never let my hair grow this long before but decided that I like it this way. However I have also discovered that long hair can be difficult to manage. I figured that a headband could help with that and looked for some. I was disappointed by what I was finding, didn’t really like the look or the fit of what I was finding elsewhere. But I love this, I got the Starry version and really like how it looks – of course style is a very personal choice the Stars work great for me but they have many other styles to choose from. It is also very comfortable. So even if it did not have bluetooth I would still consider getting it just for the headband.

They do work as a Sleep Mask…. which is to say that you can pull it down over your eyes to block out light. I sometimes find myself sleeping on couches and stray light can be a problem. These do a pretty good job of blocking that light. So that works pretty well and then I can put on some soothing tunes for while I sleep.

Also I should point out that I have a big head (in terms of hat size, not ego ) and the stretchy fabric works fine. I am guessing that this will fit just about any adult sized head.

Sound Leakage is pretty much non-existent, which given their open design is surprising. When I am listening to music other people in the same room tell me that they can’t hear it. so that is great! I won’t disturb others with my music choices (even in the library).

Be aware that these do not provide sound isolation, in a noisy environment they are difficult or impossible to hear. On the other hand it means that you can have a conversation with someone without taking these off. Also these do not get super loud — which is a good thing — but many people demand that their music be super loud which damages their hearing which then forces them to increase the volume in a vicious cycle. if you are one of those people you will not be happy with these, they won’t be loud enough for you. but for people with normal hearing these are plenty loud enough.

Another aspect of this design is that because the speakers are open and not sealed you ears stay a lot more comfortable. I have worn this all day in 90F heat and been comfortable, something that is quite unlikely to be possible with sound isolating (sealed) headphones. So the design is a trade-off between noise isolation and comfort. For most purposes this design is a good choice.

Battery Life is adequate… everything is a trade-off especially when it comes to batteries, which are heavy and bulky. I do wish this battery was about double it’s capacity but that would have made these heavier and their current weight is good, would not really want to add to that. So this is probably as good as it can get. I timed it and I get about 12 to 14 hours on a full charge. I have not timed how long it takes to charge them but it’s in the ball park of a couple of hours, perhaps less.

Bluetooth follies…..
I have not attempted to use these with a cell phone so can’t comment on that… apparently there is a builtin microphone?

I actually bought these on a lark… I was having a conversation with someone at work about the problems of using Bluetooth headphones in a recording studio. getting rid of the cord would be great but there are multiple issues with Bluetooth, which I won’t go into here. But it got me curious to see what the current state of the art was. The last time I attempted to use Bluetooth for anything was about 6 years ago and it was an abysmal failure. Well 6 years is a long time in the fast moving tech world so I figured it was worth another attempt. Found these and the price was excellent. Wasn’t expecting much but was happily blown away with the results … mostly….

I tried to hook these up to a debian linux laptop, which proved impossible. fact is that linux is great for many things but it sucks at doing Bluetooth.

So then I tried an Android Tablet and connecting them was flawless and effortless. Android is actually built on top of a version of linux… so weirdly the tablet version works and the laptop version does not.

My new favorite thing to do is to put my tablet in a backpack and go for a walk. It is very enjoyable to be able to listen to music as I stroll. The thing is though that as I walk around I find that there are places where these simply cut out and stop working. I have not investigated this in depth but my impression is that this appears to be caused by radio interference (they never cut out when I am at home – unless I walk out of range). It’s a minor nuisance and is fine for casual listening but it does show that Bluetooth is still not reliable enough for serious/professional use. Anyway if I just keep walking I am soon out of the dead-zone and the sound resumes.

Final thought: the black plastic of the control unit stuck in the middle of your forehead does detract a bit from the overall aesthetics. I wish that they had made it in a color that more closely matched the headband.

Bottom Line: I wholeheartedly recommend this.

Whoever designed these deserves some hearty kudos for a job well done.

wow, you read this whole review…? Thank You, I trust that you found it helpful I paid full price for these and no one has attempted to influence my opinion. I would appreciate it if you would click the Like button. Thank You and have a great day. Happy Listening.

I have to fall asleep listening to relaxing meditations but my ears are getting really sore from my AirPods. I tried another set of headphones but they are my heart ears even worse if I live on my side. This headband is much more comfortable. When you position right it doesn’t hurt. My only issue with the item is that it’s going to be very hard to remove the actual headphones in order to wash the headband. Even if I do get it out I’m not confident I can get it back in properly. It came with instructions but the instructions didn’t match the stitching of the item. I’ll definitely be using this instead of my other headphones at least until I need to wash

I like it is comfortable to wear. Would look very good on young girls with ponytails
