Anker's Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds include ANC and a snore-detection algorithm

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are now available to purchase. These are some of the only sleep earbuds with ANC, which could be a boon for light sleepers that live in busy metropolitan areas. The company says they "effectively block out snoring, pet sounds, appliance hum and outside traffic noise."
There are other techy additions here, beyond ANC. Anker's proprietary Ear Canal Adaptation algorithm adjusts to unique ear shapes for "deeper noise reduction." The charging case also includes a microphone that monitors and analyzes ambient noise for snoring. Once snores are detected, it optimizes the ANC to mask that specific noise. This could end up saving some relationships.


The earbuds can also deliver binaural frequencies to each ear, which the company says helps "sync your brainwaves with calming patterns to promote relaxation and restful sleep." Users can make adjustments to any of these systems via the Soundcore app, which also lets people set alarms, create sleep reminders and more.
Not everyone can handle clunky earbuds when trying to fall asleep, so the company tried to increase the comfort with this latest release. The Sleep A30 earbuds include a silicone exterior, short nozzles and a slim profile. The developers created 3D maps of "thousands of ear canals" to make sure it would fit most users comfortably.
We haven't gotten a chance to try these yet, but the reviews so far are mostly positive. I'm a bit wary of ANC masking all ambient noise during sleep in case of an emergency, but maybe that's just me. In any event, the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are available right now in two colorways.
