The Soundcore Sleep A20s and A30 Specials are highly recommended by Mashable staff.
SAVE UP TO $50: As of April 29, Amazon is offering up to 28% off on top-rated Soundcore sleep earbuds. The Soundcore Sleep A20 is priced at $129.99 (usually $179.99), and the Soundcore Sleep A30 Special with ANC is available for $179.99 (normally $199.99).
Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of the summer travel season. For those who find it difficult to sleep on planes, consider purchasing sleep earbuds. According to Mashable’s Miller Kern, the Soundcore Sleep A20s are the best travel accessory. They are compact compared to noise-canceling headphones and also function as regular Bluetooth earbuds for listening to music during flights.
Both the Soundcore Sleep A20s and the upgraded A30 Specials are currently on sale on Amazon for up to 28% off. The A20s are reduced to $129.99, marking a $50 discount and the lowest price since last summer. The A30 Specials are available for $179.99, a $20 discount, which is the best deal to date.
Both of these earbuds are featured in our guide to the best sleep earbuds. The A20s are our budget pick, and the A30 Specials are our top choice overall if your budget allows. They offer sleep data tracking, built-in alarms, and access to a library of sleep-focused soundscapes.
The A20s, endorsed by Kern, provide up to 14 hours of battery life per charge and come with six swappable silicone tips. Meanwhile, the pricier A30 Specials stand out with active noise cancellation, adaptive snore masking, phone call support, and Calm app integration. They are actually the only sleep earbuds available with ANC.
The A30 Specials are slimmer than the A20s and come with extra memory foam ear tips. Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard found them to be more comfortable after testing them for several months. However, note that their battery life is shorter, lasting up to 10 hours per charge.
The A20s are available in one “slumber beige” color, while the A30 Specials can be found in lunar white and mist lilac on Amazon. Two additional colors, moonlit white and mist green, are offered on Soundcore’s website at the same price.
