These noise-canceling headphones by Bose aren’t technically designed for sleep, but if you’re looking for more traditional headphones to sleep with, they’re another viable option for blocking out external noise. True to Bose’s high standards, they combine Active EQ and TriPort technology to give you a great sound quality that you don’t normally get with earbuds. They block all out ambient noise, but you can quickly toggle between the noise-canceling function and the Aware mode. This allows you to hear what’s going on around you with a single touch of a button — a priceless feature that provides peace of mind for any bumps in the night.

The set also comes with three different ear tip sizes — small, medium and large — to ensure a snug fit so the earbuds don’t fall out of your ears as you sleep. It’s pretty tough to find new pairs right now, but there are a few refurb pairs floating round out there if you don’t mind shopping used.
