While some people may find it impossible to sleep in noisy environments, others (myself included) find it easier to drift into slumber with the sound of ocean waves, rain or similar white noise in the background. But if you share a bed with someone who prefers silence or live with roommates in a thin-walled apartment, it’s not always feasible to blast these natural sounds without disturbing them. That’s where wearing wireless earbuds or headphones come in handy.
If you’re looking for audio accessories that will help you get a better night’s rest without waking or distracting those near you, we found five earbuds and head gear gadgets that reviewers swear by for maximizing their Z’s.

Tozo T6 wireless earbuds
Amazon rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
For a pair of wireless earbuds that can reportedly survive being accidentally washed in the washing machine if you ever lose them in your sheets, look to the Tozo T6 earbuds. They come in six colors: black, blue, green, white, Champagne and rose gold. They're compatible with iOS, Windows and Android. Listening time lasts for over six hours from a single charge and 30 hours total with the charging case, making them ideal for use during slumber.
Promising review: "Great little earbuds! I upgraded to these from regular wired earbuds because I like to listen to music/podcasts while I sleep. These stay in place even with the tossing and turning of sleep. Also I find they are great for canceling out ambient noise. When I pause what I am listening to to talk to someone I almost always have to take them out because I can't hear what the person is saying. Highly recommend!" DevonManwell

Promising review: "I enjoy listening to TV on my iPhone in bed for awhile when I go to sleep.
