However much you love your partner, a night’s sleep disturbed by their snoring can make anyone grouchy in the morning.

Last month, Soundcore, the audio sub-brand of Anker Innovations, revealed a new pair of earbuds designed to bring users and their partners a better night’s sleep. Now the Soundcore Sleep A30 are being launched in the UK.
The Sleep A30 are the third generation of Soundcore’s sleep-focused earbuds. Thanks to their low-profile and ergonomic design, the makers claim the Sleep A30 can deliver a peaceful night’s sleep by reducing unwanted noise with the use of Smart ANC, which can help block out the sound of a snoring partner or the racket of a garbage truck making its early morning rounds.
Advanced Snoring Technology
The Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds can block out up to 30dB of noise using Soundcore’s Smart ANC. The charging case for the earbuds has been upgraded to include Adaptive Snore Masking technology that can block out the sound of a bed partner who is “sawing wood or chopping logs” on the other side of the mattress.
The new Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds have an ultra-low-profile design to make it easy to sleep with your head on the pillow with the earbuds in place.

The Sleep A30’s case can listen out for snoring all through the night and the earbuds will generate noise-masking audio that’s tuned to help block out the partner by analyzing both the volume and frequency of the offensive snoring.
This latest version of Soundcore’s sleep earbuds has a shape that’s 7% slimmer than previous designs, making them suitable for side-sleepers and reducing pressure when the wearer’s head is on the pillow. The more compact design ensures that the earbuds don’t protrude beyond the ears, making them more comfortable to wear at night than traditional earbuds.
AI Brainwave Audio
The Sleep A30 also include improved Artificial Intelligence brainwave audio that can help the wearer to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Users can select from an assortment of scenario-based, binaural beat soundscapes that can stimulate the wearer’s brain to create calming brainwaves.
The Soundcore Sleep A30 are small but can play for up to nine hours on just one charge of the earbuds.

When both the case and earbuds are fully charged, the Sleep A30 can manage up to 45 hours of total playtime when used in “local mode,” which means the sound effects are played from files stored in the earbuds. Those sounds can play for up to nine hours with the volume set at 50% and the Smart ANC turned on.
When streaming music from a device like a smartphone via Bluetooth with 50% volume level and ANC turned on, the Soundcore Sleep A30 can play for around 6.5 hours or a total of 35 hours with the reserve power stored in a fully charged storage case. Users can then doze off to some favorite music or podcast or when listening to built-in sounds in the app.
The Soundcore app can play soothing sounds to create sleepy brainwaves and it can track sleep patterns. The storage case for the earbuds can listen out for snoring and turn on snore-blocking technology if necessary.

Automatic Sleep Monitoring
The new Sleep A30 earbuds can also automatically monitor a wearer’s sleep as well as track their sleeping position, which can then be accessed using the Soundcore app. Other features include a repeatable alarm with a snooze function so users can wake up to a personal alarm chosen from a library of customizable sounds. This means waking up without disturbing a slumbering partner or any family members sleeping in an adjacent room.
If the earbuds fall out of a user’s ears during the middle night and get buried in the sheets and blankets or fall behind the bed, then the Sleep A30’s Find My Earbud feature can be used to trigger an audible alert using the Soundcore smartphone app.
The Sleep A30 will be available in two colors: Moonlit White and Mist Green. Inside the box are four pairs of silicone ear tips, three pairs of memory foam ear tips, as well as three pairs of ear wings for customizing the fit to adapt to different-sized ears.
