The package of BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS is based on monotone, chic and calm atmosphere.

When opening the black package, a circular battery case with silver color is put in it.

When I took out all the contents of the package, I had a dedicated charging case and a fabric pouch, a replacement ear pad "StayHear + Sleep Chip" (S · L), charging USB cable, power adapter, instructions.

Battery case is sliding type, inside of which the earphone body of BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS is stored.

The earphone sticks to the battery case with magnetic force, and it seems that it is structured to be charged automatically when the earphone body is set in the case. Since the case itself is a battery, even if the case is not connected to the power supply it is possible to charge a full charge.

The LED lamp that lights up when the battery case is opened represents the amount of charge on the case body. There are 5 LED lamps in all, and if all 5 lights are on, the case will be a fully charged state.

If you want to charge the battery case, plug it in by inserting the charging Micro-USB cable into the micro-USB port in the case and charge it OK.

BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS body is like this. The left and right are completely independent wireless earphones, very lightweight and compact. The earphone itself is not equipped with buttons and other operating mechanisms.

The weight of the earplug body except for the ear tip is only 1.4 g, and the size of the earplug is as small as 1 cm in length and width. Compared with the little finger nail, you can feel the smallness of the earplug body very well. Basically, it is recommended to store it with the ear tip attached, because it is very difficult to search if you do not remove the ear tip.

There are three types of attached ear tips, S · L size that was in the package and M size that is set on the main body from the beginning.

BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS is a "sleeping earphone" that prevents unpleasant noise interfering with sleep, and depending on the way of thinking it can also be regarded as an ultra-sophisticated earplug. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously check ear tips' fit and sound insulation more than ordinary earphones. BOSE first recommends trying all three ear tips and picking the best chip.

After attaching the ear tip securely to the main body, insert the BOSE logo facing outward into the ear. At this time, it is a point to fit the wing part of the chip by inserting it into the groove of the ear with lightly pushing the ear tip.

At this time, it is recommended not only to check whether ambient noise is shut out, but also to check out if the voice is muffled and to hear a little voice by myself. It seems that when you are tightly fitting, your voice sounds confusing and unusual. If you feel uncomfortable when wearing or feel insufficient insulation, try an ear tip of a different size and look for the best ear tip.

Because BOSE NOISE - MASKING SLEEPBUDS is very compact and lightweight, it is rare that you feel strange weight or become annoying even if you are wearing it. Also, since the earphone part does not protrude from the hole of the ear, it did not hurt even if one ear was pressed hard with the hand.

Once you have found the best ear tip, pair it with a smartphone or tablet that performs BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS operation. First, install a special application called " Bose Sleep " on the device from the App Store or Google Play . Since iOS version is installed this time, tap "Get" from the official page of the App Store.

After setting is complete, just start playing the healing sound from "sound". Even if you put the smartphone in sleep state, the earphone will continue to heal the sound for the set time automatically. Healing sound does not flow in communication with a paired smartphone, but it seems to be played back from a sound file saved in the flash memory installed in the earphone in advance.

Actually wearing BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEPBUDS and trying to sleep, he almost never feels uncomfortable with the earphone even if he lies down to go to bed, and he did not hurt his ear even if he touched it. Bose is not noise canceling, but the reason for choosing noise masking by healing sound is that it realized the weight saving and miniaturization of the earphone body, and also had the purpose of keeping comfortable state at bedtime.

Although the editorial staff used was not so sleepy type, the day when I went to bed with BOSE NOISE - MASKING SLEEPBUDS attached, I never slept in bed without ever having to stay on bed till late night. The sound insulation of the earphone itself and healing sound suppresses ambient noise, and when you hear that the same healing sound continues to flow constantly, you feel a sense of security. However, when you get up in the morning, one of the earphones has come off and if the ear tip of the earphone is smaller than the size of the ear, it may be disconnected during sleeping.

The alarm that sounded set in the morning sounded. In order to stop the alarm, do you return the earphone to the battery case ......

It is OK if you stop from setting the application.

BOSE NOISE - MASKING SLEEPBUDS is not compatible with Bluetooth - connected music playback etc. because it specializes in supporting sleeplessness by sending healing sound to the last. Although it is possible to use it even during the day, music that can flow is only the healing sound of the initial setting.
