I received my first "pair" of SleepPhones (black felt, medium) yesterday and used them last night while falling asleep, so the review is for my initial impressions and not long-term durability.
It took me a minute to figure out the proper way to wear them -- I think the label goes up by the top of your forehead, facing in a way that someone looking at you would be able to read it -- this leaves the speaker wire hanging down your back. The speakers were pretty much in the right position, but I did have to nudge one of them a little to get it in front of my ear.
My first experience with them was listening to a guided visualization/meditation, binaural ASMR style (ASMR stimulates a relaxing sensory response in some people). Right away, I was very impressed with the speaker quality. I would say it is as-good as my $200 on-ear pair, but far and away more comfortable for sleeping. The headphones become one with the pillow and are almost "invisible" in that sense.
I say "almost" because the headband itself, while a perfect fit for me (average size women's head), was a tiny bit uncomfortable and warm, but it's a minor detail overall and I can't really think of a better way to get speakers to stay on my head (except to try the molded in-ear headphones, which I've yet to shell out for). I'll add that I have tried LOTS of different headphones and never really found any of them to be comfortable for more than 30 minutes or so. The SleepPhones were far more comfortable, sounded great, and did not bother my ears at all! Given how comfortable they are, I am curious to try a headband made from a lighter fabric for daytime use. For night-time, however, the soft plush felt is the way to go, IMO.
Moving on... the cable is braided and although thin is nice quality and doesn't get twisted up like some of the thicker cable styles. There cable is long enough to place your playing device (iPhone, etc.) on the bed-stand, but I would say it is just long enough for this purpose and you can't really move. While you can purchase aux cable extenders, an extra foot of length would be nice to have and I can't see how it would add much to their manufacturing costs. I think this point has been made by other reviewers.
When my meditation ended, I woke up enough to take these off, meaning I did not sleep through the night with them. Judging by my experience, I expect that they would be comfortable for many hours of sleeping/wear and the only problem would be tangling yourself in the cable when moving in your sleep. I have fallen asleep with regular headphones (my v-moda on-ear) and the extended pressure causes discomfort on the ears that can last for an hour or more. I think the SleepPhones would even be suitable for side sleeping since I turned by head to the side while wearing them, and the speaker is so low-profile that it just blended into the pillow.
Overall, I have to give 5 stars when comparing these to the general quality of what's out there. You can tell a lot of attention went into making these and the price is reasonable too. I hope they hold-up because most of my cheaper headphones lose sound in one speaker after a while. If they last a year or even six-months of heavy use, I will be very happy and will have considered this money well spent for enabling my relaxation time.

Product Description
Beat Insomnia & Stress Naturally
A family doctor invented SleepPhones to help her patients get a good night's sleep without medication.
SleepPhones feature flat, high-quality, and movable speakers within a soft, machine-washable headband. A flexible module inside the headband lets you stop, play, pause, and skip tracks without looking at your device’s distracting blue light. Enjoy music, white noise, meditation tracks, ASMR, audio books, and more without bulky headphones, uncomfortable earbuds, or cords in the way.
Block Out Noise & Snoring
Do you have noisy neighbors or a snoring partner? Or are you a light sleeper, frequent traveler, or someone who suffers from tinnitus (ringing in the ears)? Is so, SleepPhones can help.
Our innovative technology has helped more than a million people with these problems and many others fall–and stay–asleep. (And it’s saved a few marriages along the way!) No other headbands are more effective or comfortable than the first and original “pajamas for your ears.”
Relax During Travel
We all know how hard it is to get needed rest and relaxation while traveling. Luckily, SleepPhones can help take the stress out of travel by offering a comfortable and convenient way to block out noise.
Whether you're on a plane, in a train, or in a car, you'll rest easy knowing you have quality headphones that are so comfortable to sleep in. Resting your head against a window or partner's shoulder is so easy to do when there are no bulky headphones or uncomfortable earbuds digging into your ears.
Works with all your Favorite Gadgets
Smartphones, iPads, laptops, or any device that has a standard 3.5 mm audio jack.

Good Product, check out my review for differences and expectations
Likes:• Exceptionally comfortable/no problem lying on my side on a pillow or on my back. For sizing purposes I ordered a medium, I took a quick measurement of my head and it is approximately 21 ¼ inches• Works as advertised, sound is clear• The wire material looks to be nylon• The fact that everything is removable and the headband can be washedConcerns:• The first thing you should know is this is not the identical packaging as the manufacturer’s website. This almost seems like an Amazon exclusive package… for cheaper though. With this package you don’t get the lavender sachet or the music CD. Instead you get a little card/coupon that if you go to sleep phones.com or run phones.com and spend $50 you can get the lavender sachet for free... You can download the music for free.• There is a weird notice that’s in my pictures below that comes within the packaging. It seems that due to the special wicking properties of this black fabric you have to make a mixture of white vinegar, water, and salt…. And let it soak for five minutes and then stick it in the washing machine prior to wearing. Also on the note they provide a video link with instructions that is a broken link?? I tried from multiple devices and Google says it’s not valid.• Also because of the packaging differences….. The videos provided on YouTube and their own website does not match what you receive. For instance, the colors of the left and right headphone assembly are not the same and they do not have the “hole” they refer to when uninstalling and installing the unit back into the headband. Honestly, it’s not that hard to figure out but for someone that might not visually understand it can be difficult.Overall:You know… I am happy with the purchase. There is a savings of at least $15 from ordering through Amazon and the CD/lavender sachet is not a big deal in my eyes. However, I still think that should be explained under description. Looking at the actual product… It’s not the highest quality headphone system so I just hope it lasts for at least a couple years. I can see maybe the wires pulling out especially if you shift your head a lot at night or something to that effect. The thing that really threw me off was that this product was not ready to use out-of-the-box… I had to take the time to make that mixture because they used a weird dye (probably from China) that had to be basically cured and washed. So I chop a star off right for that… Ultimately, I think you will be happy with this product as its genuine purpose is to be a comfortable therapeutic tool to help you sleep better. In my opinion, it does accomplish that… Just know what’s coming in the package and that it comes in various sizes. I hope this review helps you make your decision.
