SAVE $70: Preorder the new Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds for $159 on Kickstarter, down from the normal price of $229. That’s a 31% discount to score the new earbuds with upgraded features like active noise cancellation. The earbuds are set to begin shipping before August.
Good sleep can be hard to come by, but Anker is aiming to ease the pain. That’s especially true if you’re not sleeping well because the dog is snoring, the birds are awake at dawn, or traffic is loud. Instead of using your daytime earbuds to mask the sound, the Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds come packed with sleep-centric features, a comfortable design, and finally — active noise cancellation.
Mashable was smitten with the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds, earning them the top spot when it comes to the best sleep earbuds. But noticeably, they lacked active noise cancellation. Anker went ahead and blessed our good sleep by adding that this feature into the new A30 earbuds, which are set to begin shipping out before August.
As of June 16, you can preorder the new Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds via Kickstarter for $159, discounted from their standard price of $229. That’ll save you $70. That’s also cheaper than buying the Sleep A20 earbuds which are currently listed for their full price of $179.99 at Best Buy. You’ll also lose out on heaps of new features we’re looking forward to, including the active noise cancellation.
Mashable Trend Report
When comparing the new Sleep A30 earbuds to the older Sleep A20 earbuds, it appears that Anker went all-out with upgrades. Not only are we getting active noise cancellation, we’re getting memory foam ear tips, and real-time adaptive snore masking audio. Yes, the earbuds use the included charging case (which is likely on your nightstand) to detect snoring and adjust sound accordingly.
In terms of battery life, the new Sleep A30 earbuds get nine hours per charge, which should be enough to get you through one night of restorative and restful slumber. With the included charging case, that bumps up to 45 hours. That means you can take off on a weekend away without needing to recharge. If you sleep for about eight hours each night, 45 hours means you’ll only need to recharge every fifth day.
More upgrades compared to the older model come in the form of better sleep support. The Sleep A30s now come with a library of audio for sleep in addition to meditation and focus tracks. There’s also more advanced sleep report metrics like sleep latency and a rating system.
Anker says they expect the new Sleep A30 earbuds to begin shipping out before August and delivery could take between one and two weeks, depending on logistics. If you’re not willing to wait that long to get undisrupted sleep, you can snag the A20s from Best Buy for $179.99. They’re still a great option, they just won’t come with active noise cancellation.
Preorders on Kickstarter for the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are set to continue until July 6, but it’s likely the $159 backing option will sell out. The next available tier is one pair for $179, which still saves you $50 compared to the list price of $229.
