Amazon shoppers are going wild for some unique and quirky gadgets that can help them fall asleep at night or snooze during a plane ride. The online giant’s Musicozy Sleep Headphones combine a typical eye sleep mask with speakers to help you drift off to white noise, audiobooks, or relaxing music — without bothering your partner or straining your eyes by wearing bulky headphones.
The Sleep Headphones are available in 11 other colours and patterns, and normally have a recommended retail price of £20.99, but for a limited time in the run up to Amazon Prime Day next month (16th July and 17th July) you can buy them for just £15.99. The headband headphones come with a Bluetooth speaker that provides 10-14 hours of playback on a single charge, and an eye mask made from an ultra-soft material that blocks out light that could disrupt your sleep.
The best thing about this product is that it is said to provide comfort all night long, unlike earphones or headphones that can cause ear and neck pain after a while when you sleep with them on. You can adjust the speakers near your ears to find the perfect volume and adjust the size of the mask as needed.

Amazon customers have given the sleep headphones an impressive average rating of 4.2 across 12,540 reviews, and those who’ve tried the high-tech gadgets say they improve their sleep by blocking out unwanted sights and sounds as they fall asleep.
One Amazon shopper said: “This is a real lifesaver on long journeys or when sharing a room with someone who snores. The sound is incredibly clear, which I didn’t expect. The mask is super comfortable and blocks out all the light.”
A second user wrote: “I love my product so much I bought one as a gift for my night shift employee. He sleeps much better now, no more sunlight getting in and listening to white noise blocks out all the noise from the busy roads.”
A third user wrote: “I bought this to help me sleep at night – it blocks out all the light and allows me to listen to calming music or audiobooks to help me fall asleep. I love it so much I just bought a second one for my son.”
“Absolutely amazing,” commented another. “This sleep mask is the most comfortable I’ve ever used. If you sleep on your side you can’t even feel the speaker. I highly recommend this sleep mask.”
However, one Amazon shopper gave the sleep headphones a three-star review because the battery life was “not as advertised,” writing, “The product itself is a great idea, but it’s disappointing that the battery life isn’t as advertised. First it was 7 hours, then it was 4 hours.”
However, another person loved their Amazon purchase, adding: “My partner does shift work and hears every little sound during the day and suffers from horrible sleep deprivation when he works the night shift. I got this for his birthday and it has literally changed his life. He listens to white noise, blocks out the sunlight and sleeps soundly. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do. He wakes up refreshed and we feel comfortable moving around the house and playing a bit during the day.”
Another quirky tech gadget that will help you sleep better is the Soundasleep Medium Support Speaker Pillow, which you can buy from Argos for £40. This unique pillow has a discreet, separate speaker built in, allowing you to listen to your favourite sounds without headphones, without disturbing others.
