For those city dwellers that reside in compact apartments enclosed within thin walls, floors, and ceilings—let alone single glazed windows—drowning-out the erratic clamor of boisterous neighbors or ear-piercing sirens can be difficult. Even after years of living in such an environment, one might still find it hard to get used to these conditions. Of course, not being exposed to the constant humdrum of traffic or shouts of late-night revelers in the street below, when in the deafening silence of the countryside perhaps, can also make repose challenging. It comes down to consistency and habit.
To ensure they get the rest necessary to keep up with the pace and expected performance of these especially demanding urban centers, many choose to hook-up white noise machines, install acoustic paneling, or simply wear earphones throughout the night—piping-in whatever music or soundscapes lets them easily fall-into a slumberous rhythm. The problem, however, is that most available devices in this category are configured with style over substance in mind. Albeit sleek, even corporeal, earbuds and headsets remain cumbersome, protruding from one’s head. Though pronounced—even geometric—these ultimately infinitesimal objects can still be slippery, hard to handle, and easily lost.
When certain “pods” from a certain major tech brand are in, it’s hard for one to rest their head in any other direction than toward the back. They poke back in towards the skin and cause pain. Openhagen’s just-released SleePod is different. The especially slender design completely embeds within one’s ear without becoming dangerous, too small to get stuck. Ironically, the paired devices are easy to handle and don’t fall out of one’s fingers when being removed. SleepPod was meticulously shaped to hug the tragus and incisura (ear opening) while anchoring along the choncha ridge just above.
This game-changing product isn’t just about form. Its modality—functions—are also comprehensively calibrated for optimal sleep. These integrated technologies center on providing passive isolation. A hybrid ANC complements the egg-shaped form’s near-perfect noise-canceling seal, allowing for an undisturbed night’s rest—uninterrupted by the sharp crackles of an upstairs neighbor’s thunderous footsteps or a truck’s horn. The moulded objects are also 2.5grams—making them feel weightless and guaranteeing they don’t cause any unnecessary pain.
Like any earbud worth its muster these days, the SleePod is also suitable for daytime use—listening to music, taking calls, or simply zoning out for concentrated work. It has an 8-hour charge and is especially water resistant—IPX5-grade—for both rain and sweat.
