Anker’s seriously small Soundcore Sleep A20 sleepbuds can be nabbed for $108 right now at Amazon, their best price since they launched on Kickstarter at $90 last year. They normally sell for $179.99, making this a standout deal for a pair of ultra-tiny sleep buds that I barely notice as I drift off to the soothing sounds of rain or birdsong.
I’ve had mine since they launched in 2024 and wear them almost every night. I love that they include built-in soundscapes, so I don’t need to keep my phone nearby. But with a quick tap, they switch into standard Bluetooth earbuds if I decide I’d rather fall asleep to The Tortured Poets Department streaming from my phone.
This year, Anker released an active noise-canceling model, the A30, which is also on sale for $179.99 at Amazon (down from $229). While ANC would certainly help block out more noise, the battery-life hit that my colleague Thomas Ricker noted in his review makes me perfectly content with my A20s. They can last up to 14 hours, compared to 6 to 9 hours on the A30s. Sleep buds are useless if they’re dead. And while I can still hear my husband snoring with the A20s, they muffle it enough that it fades into background noise instead of keeping me up.
