Fix the Glitches and It Could Be Perfect – Bose Sleep Review

What a great solution for somebody who sleeps with a snorer or sleeps so lightly that they hear when the air conditioner kicks on. When this product works, it is phenomenal. So many downsides however. Over 80% of the time my right earbud stops working after an hour of sleep. Yes I make sure it is fully charged. Yes I clean the contacts every night. Yes I have the latest version of software. Yet the left earbud works all night long and the right only works for about an hour which means I am forced to sleep on one side to block the additional noise. And I can still hear the noise. Another huge drawback is that when you place the earbuds back in the case in the morning, it is a challenge to make the bud connect with the contact in the case. It takes several attempts and too many gyrations to manipulate the earbuds to connect so that you see the white charging light come on for each earbud. But wait, there’s more. When you go to bed and you’re tired the last thing you wanna do is spend 10 minutes removing the earbuds from their case and putting them back in over and over again until your iPhone sees that they are being used. The app on the iPhone cannot find the earbuds until you’ve tried three or four times. This is a consistent problem. I’ve only had it worked the first time about a dozen times in the year I have had this. Great idea, when it works it works well. It’s just there’s so many things about it that don’t work and are a total frustration.
