When my Sleepbuds work, they genuinely work. Nothing else fits me as well or helps my sleep the way these do, and I’ve tried alternatives.
That said, mine stopped charging and connecting to my iPhone late last year. I gave up in November and moved on to something else. A couple of days ago I decided to try again — and surprisingly, they took a charge. I updated the firmware, reconnected to my iPhone, and was genuinely happy to have them back.
Then this morning, while I was gardening and listening on my AirPods Pro, the Sleepbuds hijacked the connection out of nowhere. I disconnected them, closed the Ozlo app, tried again — same thing, a few times in a row. Eventually I just told my iPhone to forget the device entirely. Hoping they’ll pair cleanly tonight when I actually need them.
I get that Bluetooth can be finicky, but as an early backer, it’s hard not to feel like we’re still running a beta product a few years in. The core experience is genuinely great. It just needs to be reliable.
Venting over. I’ll try again tonight.
