MUSICOZY Sleep Headphones Bluetooth Headband

I bought the MUSICOZY Bluetooth 5.2 Sleep Headphones to use while falling asleep listening to podcasts, and they are absolutely perfect! The fit is super comfortable, making them easy to wear all night without any discomfort. Pairing with my iPhone 14 Pro Max was seamless—they connected perfectly with no issues.

I’ve also found them great to use on the treadmill or while walking outside in cooler weather. The headband design keeps my ears warm, and I love the hands-free convenience for listening to music or podcasts. The HD stereo sound is clear and impressive, whether I’m relaxing or staying active. Highly recommend these for anyone looking for versatile, wireless headphones!

I purchased this primarily for use while sleeping after being unhappy with various other headphones (Apple AirPods, AirPods Pro, generic Bluetooth earbuds, on ear, and over the ear) over the past couple of years. I work nights, so having something to help block out random daytime sounds while I sleep is extremely helpful. It seems there are always dogs barking, horns honking, construction sounds, lawn mowers, or cars with loud exhausts driving by while I’m trying to sleep. I’ve only worn them around the house so far, but my initial impressions are good.
***Comfort: Let’s face it, if they’re not comfy we’re not going to wear them… especially for sleeping. I’m happy to say it basically feels like a winter earwarmer headband, just made from thinner and much more breathable material. It’s just a tiny bit tight on my head, which means it’ll be perfect for most people. I don’t find it uncomfortable at all and the extra bit of snugness may help keep it on during sleep. The speakers are about the size of a quarter, fairly thin, and their position is easy to adjust, just squish and slide them into position over your ears. I’ll report back after I’ve used them for a while, but my first thought as a side sleeper is that they definitely seem more comfy than earbuds.
***Sound quality: These aren’t going to compete with the sound of expensive headphones, but they’re not bad by any means. They just seem to have a bit of a compressed dynamic range. Really deep bass gets very muddy and distorted, so if you listen to a lot of deep bass-heavy music keep that in mind. Kick drums and “normal” bass levels are fine. Highs are a bit muted but that can be overcome for the most part by EQ settings so not a huge deal. Vocals, acoustic guitars, mid bass, and mids are where these headphones seem happiest. They sound good especially for the price, just don’t expect them to sound like much more expensive headphones. Volume won’t be an issue for me sleeping in them but they’re not very loud. If you’re thinking of wearing these while mowing or doing anything else loud. I’m pretty sure they’re not loud enough for that, especially with no noise cancellation. They should be fine for my use and around the house, or for low noise areas.
***Function: They we’re easy to pair to my iPhone 11 Pro and operation is pretty straightforward with taps and long presses for power, volume, and track control on the rubberized control panel with raised buttons. Overall, I found it easier to control tracks and volume from my Apple Watch instead but on-board controls aren’t bad. I’m happy to report that the headphone battery level shows up in the battery widget on my iPhone, which is helpful. I’ll report back on how well they meet the advertised hours of play between charge after I use them a bit more. Charging is via a standard microUSB. A cable is included in the box, but not a wall plug so you’ll have to provide some way to power them for charging.

So the real question is, would I recommend these? Based on my first few hours with them, Yes, I would. We’ll see how they hold up after a few weeks of sleeping, tossing and turning, maybe a wash or two, and a few charge cycles. Now I’m off to bed to try them out!

I bought a pair of these in 2021, and they were my side pair for a few years, (my main pair is the extremely overpriced SleepPhones by AcousticSheep) as they were a bit annoying to deal with. It used micro USB (ew), and the earpieces moved around a lot and hurt my ears if I laid down on the speakers for too long.

This new updated version however, has taken a few steps in the right direction, however hasn’t hit the perfect spot yet.

For one, it uses USB C! Hallelujah we’re finally in the 21st century. But not only that, there is a little slot on top of the headphones where you can just slip the charger into the plug, no need to remove the device or pull out a little dangly wire.

Secondly, the speakers now have a dedicated spot that they sit in to make sure they do not move. This is also a negative, however. Now that there’s a dedicated spot for the speakers, it means you cannot adjust them to your head. Everyone’s ears are different, and unfortunately for me, they sit just behind my earholes, and I have to kind of “pull” them forward, where they will stay until I move my head, to which they will move again. If I actually fall asleep with them, it’s often that one side will be over my ear, and the other will be past my ear towards the back of my head. Bit of an oversight in design.

And that leads to my complaint I’ve always had for these, new updated version or the old version; they are extremely uncomfortable. The headband itself is quite fine and comfortable, and the speakers themselves are “thin” sure, but not thin enough, and the padding they have might as well not exist. There’s a reason these are my backup pair, because if I fall asleep with these, there is a 99% chance I will wake up with severe pain in whatever ear I was laying on. Do NOT recommend for side sleepers. I have no idea how the other reviewers specifically mentioning side sleeping can do it. It’d be perfectly fine for people who sleep on their back, however.

Back to some positives, both the old and new version have had outstanding battery life. Unless I sleep in, the battery easily outlasts a normal 6-8 hour sleep. Sometimes I can get it to last multiple nights (though unless you have a backup, I recommend charging daily)

The sound quality is serviceable. Not audiophile levels, but not $5 earbuds from the Walmart checkout lane levels of bad either.

A plus or minus depending on how you look at it is the build quality. It’s very cheap. The wires going to the speakers are extremely fragile and thin. But the device itself is also, very cheap. The highest end SleepPhones by AcousticSheep are a blistering $100 (but they are hands down the best sleep headphones you can buy), and these are a measly $15-$20. The last pair I bought (the new version) was from 2023, and one of the wires has already started to break, so I’m here buying another one. But I don’t care, these are cheap, and I have no qualms just buying another pair for dinner’s price.

TL;DR:

Pros:
– New version uses USB C!
– Little charge hole makes for easy charging.
– Speakers have pockets they sit in so they stay in place.
– Sound quality isn’t terrible.
– You get a lot of value for your money.
– Fantastic battery life.

Cons:
– Aforementioned speaker-pockets mean that the speakers do not fit on-head correctly.
– Speakers themselves have very thin padding and is very painful if laying on side for a extended periods.
– Extremely cheap build quality, be careful with the thin wires.

I want to give 4 to 5 stars, but the fit and the fact that they personally hurt my ears so bad if I fall asleep with them on means it’s 3 stars for me. I don’t see many people talking about how uncomfortable they are, so maybe I just have very sensitive ears, so take that as you will.

These are so great! They are so comfy and the quality is fantastic. They charge fast and have great battery life. The design is nice and the fabric is so soft. I would recommend adding just a little padding around the ears to make it more comfy. The Bluetooth itself is super clear and work great. Will buy again when I inevitable lose them.

Los ocupo para escuchar musica y quedarme dormida. Es cómodo y se escuchan muy bien, se pueden quitar para lavar la tela, llevo casi un año usándola y no le veo nada negativo la pila también le dura bastante.
