Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20: Quiet Nights, Without the Noise Cancelling

Anker’s new Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds promise a peaceful night’s sleep, but they take a different approach than most sleep earbuds on the market. Forget active noise cancellation; these earbuds focus on superior passive noise isolation.

Instead of relying on microphones to counteract noise, the A20 utilizes Anker’s “Twin-Seal eartips,” claimed to block three times more ambient sound than standard silicone ear tips. For those needing extra help blocking out noises, the earbuds also offer a selection of soothing soundscapes that play only to you.

Skipping active noise cancellation has a significant benefit: extended battery life. The A20 boasts an impressive 14 hours of playtime on a single charge, easily lasting through the night. Combined with the charging case, you get a total of 80 hours of battery life (without playing soundscapes; 10 hours with). A built-in alarm gently wakes you without disturbing your partner.

Designed for comfortable side sleeping, the compact A20 earbuds are small enough to not be intrusive. Should you misplace them under the covers, a “Find My Earbuds” feature helps locate them with a sound cue.

While not designed for noisy environments like airplanes (where active noise cancellation shines), the A20 is a compelling option for those prioritizing sleep quality and extended battery life over noise cancellation. The earbuds are not intended for sports or other activities where active noise cancelling is desirable. They are compatible with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Announced on World Sleep Day (March 15th), the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 is available for pre-order via Kickstarter at a discounted price ($89.99) until April 16th. Retail availability begins May 20th at a suggested retail price of $149.99.
