If you need 'noise' that is not particular clear or discernible to tall asleep to, this is fine. But transmission through pillows and actual sound quality are just miserable.
If you want to listen to some quality tunes while you fall asleep, you'd be better served by adv's loop silicone wired earbuds.
Initial impression is that its not bad. It does the job and barely audible so doesn't disrupt my partner. Not sure how well it would work with a denser pillow but we like using shallow foam pillows.
For my partner, it quieter than just putting my iphone under the pillow.
But the sound is less clear.
It's hard to remember to pack it when you're traveling.
I might buy another one.
Overall does do its job well, it does have some sound leak to keep in mind. So if your partner is head is close to you they will hear it too. Also with denser pillows sound transmission will just be ok
I bought this for my wife, and she loves it. I cannot hear a thing when she is using it, which was its intended purpose, for us.
She is a side sleeper, so that will likely have a lot to do with how someone feels about this product. It seems to be very specific.
personally, it doesn't feel much different from having your phone playing audio without headphones, the bass also buzzes randomly and the passthrough audio is iffy
Got it for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. She likes to listen to music while she goes to sleep and she was complaining about wearing headphones to bed. Saw this and had to get it for her for her birthday. She couldnt be happier.
If you're a pillow destroyer like me, you'll find your pillows lack uniformity in density, thickness, etc. This massively affects the ability to use this speaker with ease. This compounds on the material of the pillow, and the positional requirements to get it to conduct effectively at low volumes (as soon as you start turning it up it just turns into a normal bad speaker, conduction becomes irrelevant).
If you don't have thick/squishy pillows, or you have impacted them to such an extent, or you just have a big heavy head, you will definitely feel the hard plastic lump under your pillow, regardless of how thin you make it, it's noticeable, and takes adjusting. (It's more about the profile the hard plastic depression makes between the pillow, and in the mattress, shape/form factor rather than the thickness.)
The conduction itself is very reliant on the speaker being properly aligned with ears/cheekbones, as you'd expect. However, as the speaker is lightweight, moving the pillow/your head could take the speaker with it, this could be a positive or a negative depending on your situation. I had some usage improvement from putting it between two pillows, or inside a pillow case to try and keep the average position the same, but it's not ideal when you have to readjust constantly, especially if you move a lot.
The sound quality is okay, but not great. Positioning is extremely critical to not completely lose all high-end, as with bone conducting earphones, but at least they follow your head. In terms of types of media, this is fine for podcast/audiobook listeners, as the frequency range of the content is very contained, so your range of motion is extended. I found listening to music to be a bit of a disaster though. (I primarily listen to audiobooks in bed though and still had trouble, take that as you will)
So much reliance on alignment/position means that you will likely have to sacrifice comfort/the ability to move yourself, your pillow, if you don't want to keep readjusting the position of the speaker. It's just not an efficacious solution.
If you sleep alone, you can just crank the volume instead, not worry about position, and have a sound experience that does beat out most phone speakers, if you're set on a better experience, or want your phone elsewhere (qi charger for example) you might as well just buy a cheaper bluetooth speaker, and turn the volume down. You won't have to worry about positioning, you won't have to sacrifice your comfort, and you'll just have a better time all round.
I ended up reverting to playing things through my phone's speakers.
I no longer use it, and I frankly regret buying it at the price.
