Dubslabs Bedphones Review And Unboxing 

Thanks, both for the compliment and for using my link - I really appreciate both. I hope you like them. Please let me know if you have time:-)

Thanks! I'm very happy to hear you liked the review.

Glad you liked it, thanks for the positive feedback!

You're welcome, I'm happy to hear you liked the review:-) Honestly, I think any headphones with a relatively thin wire connecting them have a risk of being damaged if you sleep with them on. The question is how much better is one set than another for this, and how much of it is down to (bad) luck or a particular movement you make in bed rather than how robustly they are made.

You're welcome Jyoti! Yes, if you sleep on your back I think they could be good for both of those as you should be able to hear them clearly.

I agree. Fortunately, these allow you to play anything you like through your device.

Thanks! I don't think so, no. I mean, these work via Bluetooth but they have that single wire connecting the two speakers.

Thanks Al, I appreciate the compliment! It seems that this is a fairly common problem with headphones designed to be used in bed. In my opinion, it's partly because the manufacturers need to find a way to make the headphone as thin as possible. But thin design perhaps is at risk of fault when they are used in bed for hours on end, night after night. Add to that the fact that a certain percentage of all tech products will fail at some point for various reasons, and you have a recipe for a slightly risky product I guess. Still, it's good that they are replacing them, even though I agree that ideally they would last longer.

@@nosleeplessnights1 I was actually thinking about how to avoid this issue and make it last longer since it is an expensive product. They always seem to fail where the black rubber piece ends behind the ear. Maybe they should reenforce the opening a bit more. It can be done at home with Sugru. Maybe I will try it.

Let me know if it works!

Did you buy the Bedphones ? What's you're feedback on them? Thanks!

Either good earplugs or good noise cancelling headphones would be my top suggestions. A white noise machine can help too, if you like the sounds they produce.

Hi Grubie, you're absolutely right - thanks so much for bringing that to my attention, I've just corrected the timing! That's a really good idea you have, especially if you don't tend to change position whilst you're listening to music. And I guess once you're asleep, it doesn't matter so much if you move position as long as the sudden break in the music doesn't wake you up or you accidentally squish them!

You're welcome. If your goal is to block out very loud neigbours, rather than block them out with music specifically, then personally I'd suggest earplugs as that's what works best for me. The only time headphones seem to do a similar job is if they are really good ones and I listen to music relatively loudly - not soft meditation music, for example. But unless I'm exhausted, that often means I'm kept awake by my loud music instead! So although earplugs probably won't block out every last bit of sound if your neighbours have a serious sound system playing music that's rattling through your walls, they will probably cut out more than some headphones with relaxing music. That said, you need to get decent earplugs that fit you well. But for a lot less money than some new headphones, you could pick up several different size and types of earplugs to find the ones that work best for you. It might seem like a waste of money (which it might well be), but in my experience, even tiny differences in earplugs can translate to a big difference in how effective and comfortable they are for you personally. I wouldn't go out and buy several ones at once, as you might get lucky with the first ones you try. But I would be willing to invest in some trial and error until you're happy with the results. Best of luck - I know loud music at night is a tricky one to handle! As for specific brands, there are lots of good ones. I personally use Mack's ultra soft foam at the moment as they have a good balance of comfort and noise reduction. But as I say, there are many decent ones to try, such as Howard Leight, Hearoes, Flents and Moldex.

@@nosleeplessnights1 Thank you for your reply. As I suspected, i’ll stick with earplugs (im using Howard Leight Laser Lites, they do a decent job, was gonna go for the Quieton but im sure they’ll b uncomfortable as i have sensitive ears. Wish the Bose or Zenbuds had ANC, there must be a market for it. Again thank your for the channel, the only comprehensive unbiased reviews on youtube, its helped me and im sure countless others. All the best

Sure, they are the N20. A couple of years old now, but I still love how small they are.

I'm confused. Did you actually swallow it?

Hi Robert, I haven't but do have them on my radar for future reviews. They look very interesting, and I can imagine the sound quality will be great. I do wonder how annoying it will be if you wear them in bed and one falls out, potentially meaning you have to search for it under the covers, or on the floor if it rolls off the pillow. So I guess that will be a personal preference as they do avoid having any cable or headband in bed.

You don't want to use them for sleeping, I have the orig. which has no noticable hardware difference, they constantly come out during sleeping, and can result in quite a search for one bud the next morning.

@@thelazyalgorithm8164 *i have the plus version and they are designed NOT to fall out, if yours do then its the crap version the plus version is designed to have double the battery power and better bluetooth connection. HOWEVER they hurt the ear canal, no matter how soft they are if they stay in too long (sometimes not every night) can block the blood flow creating massive pain in the ear hole. I'd get these sleep bands instead*

I'm not sure. The charging cable is very short, so you'd either need your own longer cable or a source of power very close to your head. I'll check when I get a chance later this week and let you know!

It's a tricky problem for side sleepers. One option is to use normal in-ear headphones but only put one in the ear not on the pillow. Another option is the fabric headband style, like the AcousticSheep Sleepphones.

@@nosleeplessnights1 Yeah I might try out the headband headphones once the weather gets a little colder. Thanks for the response!

If you move around in bed, which is likely, they can come out of place. That's pretty much the case with most headphones though.

AKG N20. You can find them for under $50 still.

@@nosleeplessnights1 Cheapest i could find was 80euros, i still ordered them thank you!

Hi, I agree. Luckily in this case, the buttons are relatively stiff, so I haven't found I press them when I move. I'm sure in some other devices it's a more annoying problem though.

i doubt you would accidentally press them in your sleep, plus you don't have much of a option, all these dumb companies can't make a good bluetooth module they are freaking thick, so instead of reinventing the bluetooth module to make it thin on these videos are just putting them in the front

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with the Bedphones Tony. Just out of interest, did you like using them until they unfortunately stopped working?

@@nosleeplessnights1 I didn't think they were anything special. They were ok, definitely not worth the $200 price tag. Glad I only paid $80 for them 12 months ago. The Dubslabs Bedphones are a cheap item being plugged as though they are a high priced item. Its also worth noting that all the reviews on the Dubslabs web site are 5 stars. That's because there site automatically defaults to 5 stars and if you try to put in 1 star you get a reply saying that they are going to review your review and your review never gets posted.

@@tonym3185 Thanks for the additional info. I just checked, and there are indeed a large number of 5 star reviews, of which some at least will be warranted as most products do appeal to at least some people. There are also a number of 4 star reviews with clear criticisms from people. So although there weren't any 1, 2 or 3 star reviews I could see, they do at least publish written criticisms that accompany 4 star reviews. To be honest, after eight years of reviewing sleep products, this wouldn't be the first (or last) company I've seen that's careful about how much they shoot themselves in the foot with negative reviews on their own website. It's a fine line to walk in opening your own site up to criticism. I'll leave it to you, and others, to judge how well they walk that line. But sure, in the ideal world you'd like to think that if there's a customer review rating system on a site, it's not manipulated. But even giants like Amazon have problems with this; manipulation of reviews is a widespread problem I think. For my part, I try to do my best in creating balanced reviews that look for both the good and the bad in a product, while resisting the obvious temptation to hype products in the hope of making more money.

Hey Phil. Have you tried them as well, or was my review enough to create that viewpoint? Either answer is fine - there's no hidden intent in my question. I'm just interested to know. Thanks!

@@nosleeplessnights1 Tried them, tried a headband and wanted to try the Bose but they discontinued it. The ones I tried were all uncomfortable and poorly made.

@@philperry6564 Thanks for that. If you find some that work well for you, let me know:-)

@@nosleeplessnights1 Hope Bose is releasing the Sleepbuds 2 any time soon.

@@philperry6564 *Buds aren't designed for sleep, i used "galaxy buds plus" and they were amazing at first but after many usage i (not always) felt my ear holes were in ALOT of pain. No matter how soft the earbud rubber bits eventually they cut out bloodflow and create massive earpain/numbness. I really want wireless headbands but none have good bluetooth modules, they are so freaking thick*
