I hope you got a good night of sleep because Amazon Prime Day is in full-swing today; if you didn’t, this deal may be for you. Our best tested headphones for sleeping, the Soundcore by Anker Sleep A30 earbuds, just hit their lowest price ever on Amazon. Sure, there are a lot of headphone deals happening right now, but these sleep buds go beyond what your AirPods can do when it comes to getting you a better night of rest.
A winner of our 2026 Innovation Awards, the Soundcore Sleep A30 have been tested by a range of CNN Underscored team members, all of whom have different reasons behind needing sleep headphones. CNN Underscored senior tech editor Mike Andronico has a French bulldog whose loud snoring often wakes him up. During his testing, he noted the noice-cancellation feature packs a solid punch. While it’s not as strong as traditional noise-cancelling headphones, he likes that it leaves him with some situational awareness, which is safer than totally tuning your environment out while you rest.
The earbuds come with five sets of silicone tips for in-ear fitting, three sets of foam tips for additional noise suppression and four different ear wings for your inner ear — Long story short, the fit is extremely customizable. Anker provides more size options than any of the competitors we tested, and Andronico notes that the earbuds are so comfortable, he doesn’t even notice he still has them on in the morning.
