Bad news: most Americans are about to lose an hour of sleep next week. Good news: if you have trouble falling (or staying) asleep, Newegg is currently selling Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds for $113.99 (‑$66) when you use coupon code MMSF88 at checkout, which drops them to just $6 shy of their lowest price to date.
Price: $114
A couple of us at The Verge are fans of Anker’s last‑gen sleep buds, which do a good job of muffling disruptive noises (including snoring). They’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear overnight, even while sleeping on your side, with multiple ear tips and wings for a personalized fit. In Thomas Ricker’s review, he noted that they improved his average sleep time by nearly 30 minutes over a two‑week period.
The Sleep A20 offers a variety of sleep‑focused features to help you rest better:
- Play a range of relaxing sounds, from meditation exercises and nature clips to white noise.
- Use them as regular Bluetooth earbuds for audiobooks or a curated sleep playlist.
- Adjustable EQ (though they’re not intended as primary music earbuds compared to mid‑range options from Apple, Sony, or Bose).
Battery life reaches up to 14 hours, and the companion app provides sleep tracking, including insights into sleep duration, positions, and movements. The newer Soundcore Sleep A30 adds active noise cancellation, which is more effective than the A20’s passive isolation, but the last‑gen A20 remains a decent, budget‑friendly option for tuning out nighttime distractions at nearly half the price of newer models.
