Anker has officially announced its latest innovation in sleep technology, the Soundcore Sleep A30 wireless sleep buds. These advanced earbuds aim to enhance your sleep experience by utilizing active noise cancellation (ANC) to effectively block out disruptive noises. Unlike previous models, which relied on passive noise isolation through a snug ear fit, the new Sleep A30 earbuds promise a more immersive and uninterrupted slumber.
The Soundcore Sleep A30 boasts several improvements over its predecessor, the Sleep A20. With a new, slimmer design that is 7 percent smaller, these earbuds are less likely to protrude from the ears, significantly reducing pressure when lying on a pillow—especially beneficial for side sleepers. To ensure a personalized fit, Anker provides multiple options, including four sizes of silicone ear tips, three sizes of memory foam tips, and three sizes of ear wings.
The Soundcore Sleep A30 is available for preorder through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign launching today. The retail price is set at $229.99, considerably higher than last year’s $149.99 Sleep A20. However, early Kickstarter backers can snag the A30 at a discounted price of $139, making it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their sleep.
One of the standout features of the Sleep A30 is its impressive ability to block up to 30dB of external noise. This is achieved through the integration of ANC technology, which employs dual microphones positioned both inside and outside the ear. However, it’s important to note that while the A30 delivers superior noise cancellation, it comes with a trade-off in battery life. The A30 offers a maximum of nine hours on a single charge, compared to the A20’s impressive 14 hours. With the charging case, users can enjoy up to 45 hours of listening time, but this is primarily when using white noise or other sleep-inducing sounds stored on the earbuds.
When streaming music or podcasts from a smartphone, the battery life reduces further, providing up to 6.5 hours of usage, or 35 hours with the charging case.
One of the most exciting features of the Sleep A30 is its upgraded charging case, which includes what Anker calls “Adaptive Snore Masking technology.” This intelligent system detects nearby snoring sounds, analyzes their volume and frequency, and generates “noise masking audio” transmitted to the earbuds to help block out the disturbance. This feature is particularly useful for couples where one partner may have a tendency to snore.
In addition to its noise-cancellation capabilities, the Soundcore Sleep A30 also offers sleep monitoring and tracking of sleep positions. Users can utilize the Soundcore mobile app to review their sleep patterns, helping them identify how restful or eventful their nights have been. Other useful features include a private repeatable alarm with snooze functionality and a “Find My Earbud” feature, perfect for locating lost earbuds in the sheets.
The Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 wireless sleep buds represent a significant advancement in sleep technology, combining comfort, noise cancellation, and innovative features to create a more restful sleeping environment. With their affordable preorder pricing and impressive capabilities, these earbuds are set to become a must-have for anyone looking to improve their sleep quality.
