Sleep Ultra Thin Pillow Speakers with Stereo for Sleep Headphones. Headband Headphone Replacement

I've lost count of the number of sleep-headband headphones (CozyPhones, SleepPhones, etc.) I've gone through thanks to my cat's insatiable appetite for the cloth-jacketed wires those headphones use. She won't touch normal rubber-jacketed wires, but something about the texture of the cloth coating is like kitty super-crack to her.I've tried the wireless Bluetooth variants but the rapidly-waning battery life coupled with the jarring "YOUR DEVICE IS CONNECTED" and "YOUR HEADSET IS DISCONNECTED" signals that disregard volume settings and jar you awake just as you're drifting off make the BT models an unworkable solution. I've tried diligently wrapping my headphones up in a drawstring bag every morning when I wake up, which worked for a while until one night she just chewed them up in my sleep. I've tried dipping the wire in bittering anti-chew spray, but have fun with that when you accidentally get the wire in your own mouth as you roll over on it in the middle of the night. It was a long-running game of cat and mouse (no pun intended) and I was losing badly, to the tune of $20 or more per pair of headphones she ruined.Enter these little bad-boys. They do the same thing the original speakers do: sit flat and output sound. The kicker, though, is that the wire is thicker and uses a different coating from the OEM speakers. Still cloth, but coarser and heavier. Enough so that my cat has no interest in them. I've left them sitting out on the bed, no drawstring bag, for weeks and she wants nothing to do with them.You're not going to get B&W or Paradigm or Klipsch quality sound out of these and they're not going to blow you away, which is probably a good thing since you're ostensibly wearing these to go to sleep. For the price, they work and sound great - indistinguishable, to the best of my ability to tell, from the original speakers. They're stereo headphones with a bog-standard 3.5mm connector, tried-and-true, nothing fancy to go wrong, age-old technology that's had all its bugs hammered out decades ago. Plus, if my little gremlin does eventually develop a taste for them, they're much less expensive to replace and you can keep using the same cloth headband.These are a no-brainer.

My mother is hard of hearing and used to put the television on super loud at night before she went to sleep. This bothered both her guests and her neighbors (apartment home.)I bought these little pillow speakers a couple of years ago, and she loves them. They simply plug into the television like a pair of headphones and she can hear the sound clearly because they go right up against her ear in the pillow she sleeps on.They come with a reasonably long cord, but I would recommend that you get a 1/8" stereo Plug extension cord so that you are sure to be able to reach the TV wherever it is sitting. She keeps hers on a small nightstand by the side of the bed and the extension cord allows us to plug it into the back run it over the headboard and down into her pillow.The sound is terrific, and the silence for the rest of us is even better... 😏

Bought these in Aug 2022, and they made it through the end of May 2025. Not quite 3 years of life, vs the ~4.5 years on the originals my mesh/lycra cozyphones came with (great headband). The wires in this set are *very* prone to twisting and kinking up, and if you toss and turn a good bit while you sleep, or pack them up frequently to travel with them, they will eventually fail. That issue aside, though, they're decent enough for the form factor and for sleep, and they have the same style pads and felt "grip" surface on them that the originals had, so they stay in place in the headband well enough.

These are the only pillow speakers that work well for me. They are thin and put out enough sound so I can listen to audio books and podcasts, but without disturbing anyone else.I wish they were better made. There are a couple of things I wished were improved.1) The adhesive used for the cloth covering.This is my third purchase of this brand of pillow speakers and they usually last for about 6 months before the cloth covering the flat speaker comes off. It just doesn't last very long. I could tell there was a great improvement in the materials of my second purchase of this product vs. the first, but the adhesive still failed after a few months. I'm hoping my third purchase will be even better.2) I wish there was a quick and easy way to tell which side of the speaker to put next to your ear.The two pillow speakers are flat disks covered on both sides with the same type of cloth. There is no way at night to tell which side of the speaker to put next to your ear. You have to put one side next to your ear and then flip it over to hear if the sound is loudest on that side. An improvement would to have a difference in texture on both sides so you can figure this out just by touching them. Or have the side next to your ear covered in nice, soft material and the other side have something that isn't.3) It's difficult to listen to both pillow speakers for stereo sound without using a headband or other such device. It would be nice to somehow have a way to attach these to your ears so you can listen to both speakers at the same time. This would also help as you moved your head from one side to the other on the pillow or if you slept on your back. I just use one at a time by placing a speaker on my pillow and then my head on top of it. The other speaker is off to the side and not used and I can't listen to these speakers while I'm on my back and my ears are not against the pillow.Overall, these pillow speakers are inexpensive, thin, and comfortable that produce enough sound and clarity for my purposes, listening to audio books and podcasts at night. If there was a better product out there that improved on the 3 things I've listed above, I would purchase them instead.
