Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds with improved noise-masking, longer battery life and soft ear tips are coming to help you sleep through all the racket, parent company Anker said Friday — aka World Sleep Day.

You can sign up now for Super Early Bird pricing at $60 off in the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Sleep A20 earbuds, which launches April 16.

Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds

Soundcore launched its Sleep A10 earbuds in 2022 and now plans a Kickstarter funding campaign for its updgraded version, Soundcore Sleep A20.

The second-generation sleep earbuds feature advanced noise-masking (with Twin-Seal eartips), ultra-comfortable ergonomic design and longer battery life.

Here’s some of Soundcore’s description, which calls out the Sleep A20’s  comfort level, even more people who sleep on their sides:

Highlighting the need for healthy, restful sleep during World Sleep Day 2024, the Sleep A20 will offer users 3x better noise rejection using their Twin-Seal ear tips versus single layer ear tips. By utilizing this design, the Sleep A20 can help to block out more noise, including a partner “sawing wood, chopping logs or grinding gravel” on the other side of the bed.

Additionally, thanks to their compact design, the Sleep A20 are ideal for side-sleepers. The ergonomic curved shape helps to conform to a user’s ears, offering a pressure free wearing experience by allowing a user to lay their head on a pillow without the earbud protruding from their ears, while causing discomfort like more traditional earbud models can.

In addition to silicone ear tips, the buds’ entire surface that comes in contact with the user is covered with an ultra-soft silicone material, Soundcore said.

  • Repeatable alarm ensures users can wake up to a personal alarm using a library of
