San Francisco, CA – Anker, a well-known technology company, is set to release the new Soundcore Sleep A20 model, a pair of true wireless earbuds designed to help improve sleep quality. The announcement of these innovative earbuds coincides with “World Sleep Day,” generating excitement among consumers looking for a better night’s rest. However, interested buyers will have to wait until April 16th for the Kickstarter launch or May 20th for availability on Amazon. The retail price for the earbuds will be $149.99, but early birds can purchase them for $89.99 through Kickstarter.
Similar to its predecessor, the A10 earbuds, the A20 earbuds do not include active noise cancellation. Instead, Anker has incorporated “Twin-Seal eartips” to reduce noise levels by three times compared to standard silicon eartips. Additionally, users can access a selection of white noise from a built-in sound library to further enhance the sleeping experience. The compact design of the earbuds allows for comfort, even for side-sleepers.
One of the notable improvements in the A20 model is its extended battery life, offering up to 14 hours of white noise playback in Sleep mode and a total of 80 hours with the charging case. If users prefer to fall asleep to music from their phone, the earbuds provide 10 hours of battery life. Other enhancements include a built-in alarm that wakes the user without disturbing others and automatic sleep monitoring with sleep position tracking. In case of misplacement, the companion app allows users to locate the earbuds with an alert feature.
Anker’s decision to upgrade its sleep-focused earbuds comes at a crucial time, as its competitor Bose recently discontinued its Sleepbuds II earbuds. The opportunity has paved the way for three former Bose employees to develop the Ozlo Sleepbuds, in production and expected to ship in April. The introduction of the Soundcore Sleep A20 model offers consumers a promising alternative for improving sleep quality and enhancing their overall well-being.
