Good sleep is expensive. Or it was — Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds just hit $99.99 at Best Buy and Target, down from $179.99. That’s a new all-time low.
These aren’t your typical earbuds. They’re designed for sleeping. Side sleepers get multiple ear tips and wings so nothing digs into your pillow. They play white noise, nature sounds, or meditation tracks. You can also just use them as Bluetooth earbuds if you’d rather fall asleep to a podcast.
The Verge’s Thomas Ricker tested them and found he averaged nearly 30 more minutes of sleep per night compared to wearing AirPods Pro. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy could still hear her husband snoring through them, but she said it was muted enough to fade into the background rather than keep her awake.
The companion app tracks your sleep — duration, position, nighttime movement. There’s a built-in alarm so you can wake up without disturbing your partner.
Battery life hits up to 14 hours, which is more than enough for a full night. The case charges over USB-C. The newer Sleep A30 model ($180) adds active noise cancellation and does a better job blocking sound, but you lose some of that battery life.
Three other deals worth noting while you’re shopping: the JBL Go 5 speaker is $44.95 ($10 off) at Amazon, Jisulife’s handheld fan is $12.32 for those summer heat waves, and the Eero 6 Wi-Fi router is $54.99 ($30 off) — still solid for smaller homes.
