Side sleeping and regular earbuds simply don't mix. If you've ever woken up with ear pain or lost an earbud somewhere in the sheets, you know the struggle.


Over 15,000 side sleepers have discovered Ozlo Sleepbuds is the solution they've been searching for.

The desire to drown out noise for relaxing sleep isn’t new. When Bose Sleepbuds came on the scene, the sleep-deprived rushed in for a noise-blocking solution to snoring partners and racing thoughts. Eventually, Bose Sleepbuds were discontinued — that’s when its ex-engineers carried its legacy to Ozlo Sleepbuds, with a renewed focus on deep-sleep innovation for health, and user experience for better comfort and ease of use. So, how do they match up?

1. Ozlo’s Sleep Sounds Are Science-Backed

Bose offered sounds made for passive noise-masking by replacing environmental noise. Ozlo’s selection is engineered with frequencies scientifically proven to relax you and lull you into your deepest sleep.


That means that with Ozlo, you won’t just fall asleep, you’ll get the most out of your rest with more time in the most restorative sleep stage.


“These are better than the Bose version. I love the different sounds available.”
Natalie, side sleeper

2. Stream Whatever You Want

Bose only offered preloaded sleep sounds — with Ozlo, you get to decide how you like to fall asleep. If you’d rather play your favorite podcast or audiobook or relaxing music, Ozlo will optimize the audio levels of any stream for relaxation and consistency.


“I love that I have the option to listen to my audiobook if I want to. An upgrade from Bose. 100% worth it.”

3. Plus, Biometric Sensors Make Streaming Better

Bose didn’t contain any sensors. Ozlo does. Engineered with biometric sensors, Ozlo feels when you fall asleep and seamlessly transitions your streaming to science-backed sleep sounds to keep you in a disruption-free deep sleep all night. And you’ll never lose your place in that plot-twisty audiobook.


“Ozlo Sleepbuds made it possible for me and my wife to sleep in the same bed. She loves that it changes from podcasts she listens to before sleep to the nature sounds as she falls asleep.”

Kasper S, noisy husband

4. Even More Ear Comfort

With an ultra-thin, 6mm earbud profile, every tiny adjustment counts. Ozlo has expanded Bose’s range of changeable eartip sizes from 3 options to 4, offering an even closer fit to your unique ear size and shape. That means better ear comfort for more people, and longer nights of great sleep on your side, back, upside down — any and every position.


“Best purchase I ever made. They are very comfortable, you can’t feel them in your ear when sleeping on your side. You won’t regret it.”

Small, fully flush design for any sleep position

5. A More Reliable Battery and Charging System

We’ve all been caught on low battery before. With Ozlo, you won’t have to worry about plugging in your case every day — not only do Sleepbuds last 10 hours, the Smart Case holds additional charges with a lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with higher energy efficiency and a longer lifespan. That battery reliability and capacity means you know you’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight and many nights in the future.


“I had the Bose Sleepbuds and loved them, but Ozlo fixed all the little bugs Bose had. The battery is really improved.”

David G, 10-hour sleeper

6. It’s An Investment In Health and Financial Wellness

Sleep deprivation is emotionally, physically, and financially costly. If your Bose Sleepbuds gave you the sleep you need to function at your best, let new and improved Ozlo take you even further.


Not only does fatigue affect your mood, but studies show that in the short term it can reduce work productivity (minus income), weaken the immune system (up sick days and doctor visits), and even raise the possibility of accidents caused by inattention (who knows). With Ozlo, you can save years and potentially thousands of dollars in damage caused by sleep deprivation. Quality sleep is not an indulgence, it’s an everyday essential.


“These earbuds were an investment in my overall well being. Best sleep ever. Totally worth it.”

Shayla B, rested and better than ever

EX-BOSE USERS LOVE OZLO

"My New Addiction"

"I had several pairs of Bose Sleepbuds and the last set was becoming unreliable. I use them to drown out my snoring husband, road noise, and I’ve become addicted to the sleep sounds. As soon as I put them in, my brain has become trained to drown out the world and just sleep."

"I’m Glad Bose Stopped Making Theirs Because These Are Better!"

"I was really worried when my Bose Sleepbuds died. I tried another brand and was disappointed and sent them back. Then I found Ozlo and from the first night, I was thrilled! The default noise is fabulous, the buds are comfortable, the sound cancelling super, and the app interface is great."

Jennifer S, toss-and-turner

"Upgraded from Bose and Never Looking Back"

"My wife used Bose sleepbuds for years, but she loves her Ozlo even more. The comfort for side sleeping and the automatic switch when she falls asleep have made a huge difference. She's less irritable in the morning, more energetic with our kids, and actually looks forward to bedtime now. Worth every penny for the peace they've brought to our home."
