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.

I've been using pillow speakers for years, always underneath the pillow. Sound quality suffered...With these, they are only 3 or so mm thick, they're flexible and soft so you can put them on top of the pillow (inside the pillow cover). Sound quality much better -- surprising for the small size.They're quite sensitive to small movements of the ear -- a few millimeters away from the center of the speaker, and you hear less...a few more millimeters and you hear nothing.I've used these for about 4 months, so far no problems. They aren't super heavy duty, but that's the way it has to be for something as slim and light as these.

I like to sleep with the TV on. My wife doesn't. For years I've slept with a wired ear bud connected to my Roku remote. So uncomfortable! Plus my Dr said I need to stop putting things in my ears if I don't want them to itch. These are working pretty well. I still run them out of my Roku remote * slide them inside my pillow case. Under the pillow I couldn't hear, but with a thin layer of fabric they're good as long as I turn up the volume and lay pretty much directly on them (I sleep on my side). Soft enough that usually I can't feel them. Plus they're cheap enough to replace when needed.

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.

The volume is too low to be a pillow speaker. I thought I could put this under my pillow and hear through the pillow avoiding being tangled or irritated by cables. To make this work you would have to tape it down to the top of your pillow but the quality of the sound is much less than a cheap tweeter. After maxing the volume on my iPhone I would describe this product as the guts of a mid quality headset without the housing to be up against your ears and bring the sound range.
