Need to fix updated
Moose930
After spending over an hour fiddling with a forced update at bedtime I was rewarded by finding out my sleep buds will no longer pair to my phone. I spent way too long not sleeping and trying to trouble shoot only to give up and call customer service the next day and be told that they were aware but had no time line for when a new update would fix this. Just that it might be weeks. Unacceptable
Great app, one suggestion!

Hello Bose product managers, here’s a feature request for you! Under sleep timer, instead of being able to set my sleep buds to stop playing sound in a certain number of preset hours i can just set it to stop playing sound at a certain time? That would be great!
Poor design choices on app update

The user used to be able to connect, set an alarm and play sounds from one screen. Now you have to select an icon to go to a separate area for each task. Not a huge deal by itself but the point of these ear buds is sleeping and each separate screen totally defeats the point of sleep mode. If it was possible to roll the update back I would. No functionality was added (that I can see) only pointless steps....
Ear buds stop working at a high rate and support is pretty dismal

I have four of these. Two of them one ear bud broke. They are sleep buds. So obviously you notice they are broken when going to sleep. Just when their support is closed. I keep forgetting to call the next day and notice again when their support is closed I need support. Only option is to call. It would be so much easier if I could send an email when I notice they are broken. Or god forbid have a chat app for this use case (which seems like it is a very common one see later below). Not to mention their site puts you in an infinite loop and you keep entering your serial number, on your phone digit by digit because they don’t offer copy of serial number support, only to go back to the page which says contact us. They seriously did not consider support for when their product breaks - which it breaks a lot. 50% in my case. And look online, there are tons and tons of posts of one ear bud breaking / stopping working and Bose support says to call them - which again they are closed when one is usually going to sleep. Save your money and just buy a noise cancellation product. They cost like $5 on your phone and it always works. I love Bose products but this one is a complete waste of money, don’t buy it.
App needs work

I see all of the different types of sounds I can add to my earbuds, but there’s no way to preview them. I click on the play button and I wAit forever until it finishes “loading” and nothing happens, then I click it again and nothings. Transferring a new sound to the earbuds takes a while and without a preview, it gets frustrating.
app renders hardware less useful

I like the idea of the product but the app really brings it down. Things to fix: 1. Needs Separate volume options for each ear 2. Length of sound is too short. I shouldn’t be able to recognize the loop! 3. Needs more Variation of sound. These are all similiar. And most are not slow. Need slooow to sleep. 4. A variety of mid range sounds tones at most is a must bc most of these are lower. (If I could use another app, I would use “my noise” bc it lets me adjust the pitches and speed.) 4. If 3 isn’t possible, let me add 2 min clips. 5. The app is not intuitive. It takes a few tries to figure out the sounds play on the phone when testing them. I expected a much more customizable app and sound variation for 250k for the buds. The hardwire is fine. I hope the app changes soon or these buds are going back.
Apple Watch support?

It would be nice to be able to control the sleep pods with my watch...
Wow. These work wonders for me.

I grew up falling asleep to the tv. I have always been a white noise/tv sleep sounds person. My girlfriend is the exact opposite, she needs pitch black and silence. Naturally the compromise is pitch black and silence. But these babies have completely changed my life. I fall asleep super fast and sleep like a baby. Absolutely love the headphones and app. 10/10.
The most comforting sleep I’ve had in years
Revolt Puppy
Between my snoring partner, our cat violently slobbering all over herself on the bed, and our new puppy whining in her crate, good sleep was a thing of the past. But today these Sleep Buds have seriously improved my life. I might even be getting addicted to the pillowy comfort of their soundscapes, because I’ll go into the bedroom in the middle of the day and see them in their case and boom! I'm fantasizing about skiing down an alpine slope toward restfulness and pleasant dreams. They’re remarkably comfortable to sleep in, only once or twice causing some mild ear pain, if I sleep weird on one side. You can’t stream anything you want, only what’s in the app, but I don’t care about that. I just care about getting to sleep and staying asleep! To that end, I love the variety of soundscapes they provide. To my ear, more than one of the naturescapes category have recognizable loops, which I find distracting, but there are over 40 sounds to choose from, so I can still find plenty that send me off to slumberland with the bonus of also having some variety night-to-night, if I need it. Overall, two small complaints can’t mar this 5-star review. I can sleep! I can sleep! I CAN SLEEP AGAIN!
