Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are on sale through Ozlo’s website as of July 28, bringing a lower price and a longer battery life to the sleep-earbud line designed by former Bose employees, according to Mashable.
The new earbuds are priced at $279.99, below the current $349 full price of the original Ozlo Sleepbuds. Mashable notes the first model launched at $299 before receiving a tariff-related price increase last spring.
The second-generation model keeps the bedtime-first pitch: small earbuds meant for sleep sounds, private alarms and overnight wear, rather than standard all-day music listening. Ozlo has added more sleep tools this time, including tracking reports, new sleep modes and controls built into the charging case.
How much do Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 cost?
Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 cost $279.99 from Ozlo. For a limited period after launch, Mashable reports that orders include an Ultra-Soft 3D Blackout Ozlo sleep mask and an Ozlo Travel Case.
Existing Sleepbuds owners also get a 30-day upgrade offer that cuts the price to $229, according to Mashable.
The price still sits above Soundcore’s sleep earbuds with active noise cancellation, which Mashable lists at $229.99 and identifies as its top sleep-earbud pick. Ozlo’s latest model does not include active noise cancellation, one of the drawbacks cited in Mashable’s testing.
What is new in Ozlo Sleepbuds 2?
The headline upgrade is battery life. Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are rated for 14 hours per charge, up from 10 hours on the original model, according to Mashable. The charging case is listed as holding enough power for up to three nights of sleep.
Ozlo has also added sleep tracking analytics. Mashable says the earbuds and smart case collect biometric and environmental information, with reports available in the app. The review described detailed sleep analysis that included graphs for sleep phases, room temperature and room sounds.
The new smart case button is designed for phone-free controls, including starting Sleep Sounds or snoozing an alarm. Mashable reported that the earbuds can also play sleep sounds and alarms without a phone connection.
- Battery life: 14 hours per charge
- Case battery: up to three nights per charge
- Alarms: multiple private alarms can be set and scheduled
- Controls: a smart case button replaces on-ear touch controls
- Tracking: biometric and environmental sleep data in the app
- Fit: four sizes of silicone ear tips
- Audio: more than 30 sleep soundscapes and masking sounds
- Sleep Shield: blocks notifications, calls and streaming during sleep
What did early testing find?
Mashable’s reviewer said the Sleepbuds 2 are more comfortable than the first model and praised the sleep sound library, volume range, longer battery life, easy connectivity and app experience.
The review was cooler on the smart case button, because it replaces touch controls on the earbuds themselves. Mashable also cited weaker case battery life compared with Soundcore’s case and the lack of active noise cancellation.
The overall verdict from Mashable was that the Sleepbuds 2 are preferable to the original Ozlo Sleepbuds, even if the changes are described as needed rather than dramatic. For people who already own the first version, Mashable said an upgrade is not essential, though the launch offers may make it more tempting.
