Black Friday is less than a week away, but some of the best deals we’ve seen all year are silently starting as early as now. And with 2026 on the horizon, there’s no better time to give yourself or a loved one the gift of better sleep. Sleep headphones are a popular gadget in the health tech space, but many of them are pricey.

Lucky for you, Ozlo’s sleep earbuds just got a discount. Right now, at both Ozlo<!–> and Amazon–>, you can save $75 on the Sleepbuds<!–>, with a chance to save more when you buy multiples directly from Ozlo. Ozlo will offer you $170 off 2 pairs & $270 off 3 pairs as part of their holiday sale. Plus, these sleep earbuds received a ZDNET Edtiors’ Choice Award in April 2025.
Wearables expert Nina Raemont tested the Ozlo Sleepbuds earlier this year, and she was impressed by them.
“The Ozlo Sleep earbuds are some of the most comfortable and effective sleep earbuds I’ve ever tested, and I can’t recommend them enough to anybody who needs to quiet down their bedtime environment to catch a few more Z’s, that is, if they’re willing to pay the $300 price tag. Keep reading to learn why,” Raemont wrote in her review.

If you didn’t already know, Bose and Ozlo have some invisible strings. In 2020, Bose discontinued the Bose Sleepbuds. The buds “didn’t reach the level of adoption” Bose hoped they would, despite their avid following, Bose spokesperson Joanne Berthiaume told The Verge. Raemont says that the Ozlo Sleepbuds are designed to be the Sleepbuds reincarnate, taking some of Bose’s proprietary tech, like the StayHear Plus tips, and implementing them into a new product. A little bit of old, a little bit of new, and more good sleep.
An Ozlo competitor, the Soundcore by Anker Sleep A30 buds, are also on sale.

The earbuds come in a carry and storage case, and you can customize your ear tips and ear wings to suit your desired fit.

Raemont says they are comfortable and stable, too. “The ear wings on the Sleepbuds stabilize the fit for a long time, and when I wake up, normally, one earbud is still in my ear,” Raemont says. “If you don’t shuffle in bed throughout the night, these will stick in your ears — and they’re quite comfortable for side sleepers. I didn’t experience any pressure built up over time, and, in the mornings, I didn’t feel any soreness or sensitivity.”
If you’re still not looking to spend $274 on Ozlo’s sleep buds, Anker’s A30 sleep earbuds<!–> are slightly more affordable (and also on sale now).
