Anker’s tiny Soundcore Sleep A20 sleepbuds can be purchased right now on Amazon for $108, which is their best price since launching on Kickstarter last year for $90. They normally sell for $179.99, making this an exceptional deal for a pair of ultra-small sleep buds that I barely notice when I drift off to the soothing sounds of rain or birds singing.
I’ve had mine since they launched in 2024 and I wear them almost every night. I love that they include built-in soundscapes, so I don’t have to have my phone nearby. But with a quick tap, they transform into standard Bluetooth earbuds if I decide I’d rather fall asleep. Tortured Poets Department Streaming from my phone.
This year, Anker released an active noise-canceling model, the A30, which is on sale at Amazon for $179.99 (down from $229). While ANC would certainly help block out more noise, the battery-life impact that my colleague Thomas Ricker mentioned in his review leaves me completely satisfied with my A20. They can last up to 14 hours compared to 6 to 9 hours on the A30. If sleep buds die, they are useless. And while I can still hear my husband snoring with the A20 on, they suppress it so much that it fades into background noise rather than keeping me awake.
