Anker has a series of wireless headphones designed for Facilitate relaxation and allow A repairing break Conguid -proof, Soundcore Sleep, with the support of a mobile application that also monitors the dream
The most recent model is Soundcore Sleep A20that we have had the opportunity to try in Portaltic. The experience starts with a True Wireless headset with the pad manufactured in a very pleasant touch material, the same one that Anker has used in the hook that holds it to the ear, to improve stability.
It presents an ergonomic design, although it does not differ much from other True Wireless headphones on the market, and Light, which fits well (If the size of the pad is adequate) and offers passive noise block, reducing it, although without eliminating it completely, since it does not seem to be its mission.
It is accompanied by a circular case, also made of a material that feels soft to the touch, very light, which barely occupies space. With it, the headphones offer up to 80 hours of autonomy, up to 14 hours of use with a single load, as indicated by Anker, although without calculating the hours of use, it is true that it has more than enough autonomy to endure the night and part of the work day before you need to load them again.
Headphones are simple to put. If you are not used to using this type of device, as is my case, because they usually bother me, they can be somewhat uncomfortable at first, but its size, weight and the flexibility of the material with which the pads are made and the hook make it easy to get used to them. And just put them in a remarkable cushion the ambient noise.
During the test, I have used the headphones during the day, mainly at work to concentrate on the writing of some news, which required more attention, and also at night, to take advantage, in the absence of snoring around me, if the noise is masked enough so that it does not wake up until the alarm sounds.
Test during the day
Headphones work with A mobile applicationwhich is from which they are managed and the one that allows select the different sounds. In it are options that help to relax and improve concentration, for example, through the audio of brain waves of AI, sound landscapes and the catalog of white noise sounds.
The latter is a library of sounds that help neutralize ambient noisesuch as the noise of a storm, crepit the fire, the wind, the snoring of a cat or a operational washing machine.
More striking are the other two options. Sound landscapes seek Let’s relax with selected white noise And the audio of brain waves goes further and uses Therapeutic music To achieve a deeper relaxation. For its part, the brain wave audio admits space audio, and allows adding several sound elements to customize the experience.
In general, and Once you get used to sounds and noise, it is easier to concentrate, Because it reduces the noise of office environment quite well (people halaando, phones that sound, radio, etc.). And in fact, it is quite nice to work with some of the sounds.
Test at night
This test has been somewhat more difficult, since I don’t use sleeping plugs And in general I usually bother me to wear True Wireless type headphones, and I opt for diadem or cable headphones, which seem lighter, as the case may be.
The goal was to discover if noise such as wind and rain hitting the windows of the window or the neighbors above when they are late or move furniture (that seemed) at untimely hours, they masked enough to ignore them completely and continue sleeping placidly, without shocks.
The answer in which yes, but the experience, in my case and with my preferences, has nuances. As during the day, the sounds and music offered by the ‘app’ – there is also a specific sleep mode, which ends with an alarm – they help relax and finally reconcile sleep.
Where was the problem? In that, as when I have ever fallen asleep on the couch listening to music, I fail to disconnect; Music is still in my mind, however pleasant and peaceful, and sometimes I am even aware that it is reproducing. With white noise, especially with those who were more subtle, the experience has been better.
The white noise library offered by the ‘app’ has an advantage and it is that up to three sounds can be combined to create the most like or help. I have been better called brown noise (more serious frequencies) and green noise (with a constant pattern) than others such as rain, a river or birds.
To this we must add the support. I think I do not give many laps at night, mainly sleep from side, but one of the headphones has come to fall, although I have to say that I have discovered it in the morning, when I woke up. But I don’t know if experience enters the anecdotal.
In conclusion, the Soundcore Sleep A20 headphones are A good proposal to get a state of relaxation such that it allows us to concentrate on certain tasks or sleep, but without pretensions to block noise, but rather to cushion it. Its touch and battery life are other favorable points to take into account, as are the variety of sounds it offers.
