The perfect solution for sleep.

One of the annoying facts about brainwave entrainment is that it works best with headphones. Yes, there are recordings out there that work with ordinary stereo speakers as well, but still the effect is stronger with headphones.Normally thats no problem – get a pair of decent stereo headphones or high quality in-ear plugs if you are a hifi-maniac, and you are set.

But what if you want to use brainwave CDs (or some sleep inducing brainwave sessions on your iPod) to fall asleep?

Ear plugs have the tendency to fall out or change position slightly so you do not have similar levels of volume on both ears. In-ear plugs stick out – so if you turn and twist a lot, this is not for you. And bulky normal headphones are only for the very serious ones… ;-)

There are two possible solutions for the problem:

• a pillow with integrated stereo speakers
• a headwrap/ headband with integrated headphones

Which one is better for you depends on your personal preferences. If you go all twitchy and itchy and CAN’T SLEEP if there is the slightest pressure and physical presence of “something” around your head, the SleepPhones are not for you. But otherwise they are ideal.

The effect is much stronger – if you change position, they turn with you, opposite to the speakers in the pillow. The fabric is of good quality and “feels good”, it is 100% polyester fleece and washable. The headband can be rolled up and fits into your travel bag easily. It comes in two colors (lavender / grey), three different sizes and can be individually adjusted.

The headband is adjustable and comes in different colors (grey or lavender).

The integrated speakers are of course not comparable with high-priced speakers for audiophiles. But the quality is ok, even if you want to use them to listen to “ordinary” music as well. For brainwave entrainment CDs they are just perfect.

The set comes with the headband (cord with standard plug works perfect with iPod or whatever MP3-Player or personal stereo you have), a CD with brainwaves / ambiente sounds and a little bag with herbs. OK – the herbs could have been left out, and instead they could have produced a better CD.

But that does not do any harm. The CD does it’s job – its just that compared to other sleep induction CDs (like the “Delta Sleep System” I reviewed here as well) it is a bit “semi professional”. Anyways – the sleepphones are worth every penny by themselves, just take the CD and the herbs as complimentary gifts!

Verdict: must have gadget for any brainwaver and sleeper!
