The unboxing experience was decent; it comes with a 1ft USB to type-c charging cord, a user manual, and a good selection of tips and wings. The case and earbuds were fully charged for me on arrival.
The case is lightweight with a pleasant texture and makes up for its width by being reasonably thin.
They fit very well and sit almost flush with my ears, leaving little pressure when lying on my side. I shook my head to test if they'd stay in, and they didn't budge from what I could tell. I haven't tried the breathable tips yet, but the normal ones do a mighty fine job.
It's important to note that they are noise masking, not noise canceling, so they work more like earplugs if you aren't playing anything, but I have a small window unit ~9ft from my bed and couldn't hear it with ASMR playing unless explicitly trying to.
The sound quality is average for earbuds, but that almost works in its favor as earbuds for sleep. I wouldn't recommend them for all-day music listening, but I would recommend them for music listening while falling asleep.
I haven't messed with the app too much, so I wouldn't take this as definitive, but it isn't half-bad. There was a firmware update for the earbuds, which had no issues installing, and it features the ability to create sleep sounds. There are options to stop the music once you've fallen asleep, switch to sleep mode once you've fallen asleep, calibrate the sleep detection, and customizable tapping actions.
All around, a 10/10 product. I took a nap for the first time in over a decade with these. Remember that your ear sizes and shapes, audio preferences, and sleep habits will influence your experience!
