Setting up your product

Before you begin

Sleepbuds are designed to mask noise and disturbances while you sleep. Because of this, they can affect your ability to hear other sounds, such as alarms, warning systems, people or pets.

Set an appropriate volume

 Adjust volume to balance noise masking with the sound around you. The volume should be high enough to mask noises that are disturbing your sleep, but not so high that you can’t hear the sounds you want to hear.

In the Bose Sleep app, set the volume to the lowest level, then increase it gradually until you reach a comfortable level. The lower the volume, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to hear the sounds you want to hear.

Tips for maintaining awareness

If you’re concerned about your ability to hear sounds while wearing the sleepbuds, try the following:

Basic tips:

• The Bose Sleep app alerts you if you increase the volume above a certain level. For increased awareness, set the volume below this level. Based on our research, we believe that doing this improves your ability to hear sounds in your surroundings while wearing the Sleepbuds
• If you sleep with a partner, consider relying on your partner to help you stay aware of your surroundings while wearing the sleepbuds

Advanced tips:
These tips make the sleepbuds less effective at masking noise, but further increase your awareness of your surroundings:

• Wear only one sleepbud
• Set your current masking sound so that it stops after a certain amount of time instead of playing all night. You can do this by setting a sleep timer for your current masking sound in the Bose Sleep app
