Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Audio Pillow: Road Test
Why on Earth would anyone need a pillow with stereo speakers built into it?
WHAT IS IT? A pillow with hi-fidelity stereo speakers built into it.
IS IT FOR 24-HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, WHO WANT BANGING TUNES EVEN AT BEDTIME? No, it’s for folk who like to fall asleep listening to an audiobook, podcasts or soothing music, but find it uncomfortable to wear earbuds for this.
HOW DOES IT WORK? The two speakers are deeply embedded in the soft, hypoallergenic pillow, which measures 51cm x 66cm. They connect to your device via a 185cm long cord with a standard 3.5mm plug (compatible with most electronic devices, including iPhones and iPads). The speakers can be removed if you want to wash the pillow.
WILL THE SOUND DISTURB SOMEONE YOU SHARE A BED WITH? No, it has a limited volume range so it’s unlikely to be heard by anyone else; it doesn’t have to be loud, anyway, because your ear is right over the speakers.
