Looking to catch more Zzzs? Anker unveils the next generation of its sleep-focused earbuds, the Soundcore Sleep A20. These earbuds are designed to lull you into a peaceful slumber by ditching active noise cancellation (ANC) for a different approach.
These buds feature innovative "Twin-Seal" ear tips, which Anker claims the Soundcore Sleep A20 blocks out three times more noise than standard earbuds. Plus, they come with an extensive built-in sound library of white noise that helps further mask unwanted distractions. The earbuds' compact, comfortable design caters to side sleepers too.
Battery life is another key upgrade. The Soundcore Sleep A20 boasts 14 hours of white noise playback in "Sleep mode" on a single charge—four more hours than its predecessor. The charging case extends this to a whopping 80 hours. Even music streaming lasts 10 hours, a significant improvement over the A10's six hours.
The Soundcore Sleep A20 goes beyond noise masking. It features a built-in alarm that gently wakes you up without disturbing your partner. Plus, the companion app tracks your sleep patterns and position, offering valuable insights into your slumber. A handy "find my earbud" feature helps locate misplaced buds in your bedding.
The Anker Soundcoree Sleep A20 lands on Kickstarter on April 16 for a discounted US$89.99 (around CA$122). Traditional retailers like Amazon will follow suit on May 20 with a regular price of US$149.99 (~CA$203).
