Comfort is key and attention to detail is our middle name. Ozlo Sleepbuds® don't stick out causing undue pressure on your ear like other earbuds. Our silicone tips are soft yet durable, and engineered to stay secure in your ear all night long. The umbrella-shaped ear tip gently seals off your ear canal, while the pliable wing fits snugly in the ridge of your ear. Think, a hug for your inner ear.

A partner snoring right next to you. Or the beat dropping from the party upstairs. Unpredictable spikes or changes in sound are one of the biggest disruptors of good sleep.

Sensors in the Ozlo Sleepbuds® can tell when you fall asleep. From there, we'll help mask the external noises that may wake you. We've got a variety of science-backed, masking-sounds, designed for all-night relaxation. Pair that with the noise-blocking design of our Ozlo Sleepbuds® and you’ve got yourself a recipe for an undisturbed, sound sleep.

Wanna sleep stress-free? If you're like us (and most people we know), part of what makes it hard to fall asleep at night is an overactive mind. Rehashing scenes from the day, worrying about the latest news stories, or stressing about how you forgot to call your mother-in-law to wish her happy birthday.
That's why Ozlo Sleepbuds® allow you to stream whatever content puts your mind in its happy place.

Can I really listen to anything?
Yes, anything! Podcasts, audiobooks, music, meditations, ASMR, audio of children reciting the pledge of allegiance on repeat, etc.
If it's streamable, you can stream it Ozlo style to help you fall asleep, and do it comfortably.
In-ear alarms that wake you, not your partner.
Ozlo Sleepbuds® have a built-in personal alarm that gently wakes you from your sound sleep without jarring you or your partner.
Your slumbering partner will thank you. Trust us.![]()
All-Night Battery
The Sleepbuds® can hold up to a 10-hour charge for all-night noise masking or streaming. The Smart Case provides additional charges so you can take it with you anywhere you go.

If that wasn't enough punch packed into such a tiny, wireless, comfortable earbud designed specifically for sleep - we added even more to the Ozlo Sleepbuds®.
Secure biometric sleepy-time.
That's right! With biometric sensors built into the Sleepbuds®, Ozlo knows when you've fallen asleep.
![]()
Utilizing our beta sleep algorithms, Ozlo Sleepbuds® can automatically detect when you fall asleep. With that important info, we can pause and slowly fade out the audio you were streaming to help you fall asleep and then do one of three things:
- Transition gently to one of our masking audio tracks and play it all night long
- Transition gently to one of our masking audio tracks and play it for a pre-set amount of time, while enjoying Sleepbuds® passive noise blocking all night long
-
Transition gently to silence, while enjoying Sleepbuds® passive noise blocking all night long

And yes, your data is private. All the biometric sensor data is processed locally and you control who gets to see what.
More than just a pretty case
While we can't do anything about the uncomfortable memory foam mattress you might be sleeping on, we do know that noise, light, and temperature of the room you are sleeping in all can impact your sleep quality.

That's why the Ozlo Smart Case includes environmental sensors. While your case charges on your nightstand, sensors detect the noise, light and temperature of your room. We use this information to provide you with a personalized report and feedback the next day in the Ozlo Sleep App.

Designed for privacy
We’re building a secure platform where customers can optionally provide some personal information that allows us to customize and optimize the Ozlo sleep analytics and interventions. Unlike other sleep products, the Ozlo platform is able to work locally from our Sleepbuds® to our smart charging case and the customer’s phone to process and analyze your sleep. So, limited personal information is sent to the cloud for processing.

Risks and challenges
We've gathered some of the world's best mechanical, electrical, firmware, manufacturing, audio, and software engineers all passionate about good sleep. We are all actively working to bring the Ozlo Sleepbuds® to life to help everyone sleep just a little better. But hardware is, well, hard. There is always a risk that something could go completely "off the rails", but we have the funding and the right manufacturing & supply chain team to tackle any problems along the way. All of the tooling is done, the components are sourced and qualified, and purchase orders have been placed. Unexpected supply chain or logistics problems could delay production and delivery, but we've been diligent in selecting partners and suppliers that are reliable. Additionally, as we work to optimize our software, there remains a risk of bugs and non-optimal performance delaying release. Delays in finalizing the process for firmware updates in the Ozlo Charging Case and Ozlo Sleepbuds® from the Ozlo Sleep app could delay our ability to hit production and delivery timelines. Our manufacturing partners run state-of-the-art facilities and are time tested. They are currently working with us through our prototype builds (as you've seen above) and are working side-by-side with us to finalize, stress test and validate the Sleepbuds® in preparation for production. There is also a risk if more people decide to join us on the journey earlier (by backing on Kickstarter and Indiegogo) than we've planned, we may not be able to ramp up production and deliver product in the estimated timeframes. If we are so lucky we will work to ramp manufacturing up and ship out all the Indiegogo backers as early as possible.
What is the return policy for Ozlo Sleepbuds® preordered through crowdfunding platforms (Kickstarter & Indiegogo)?
On crowdfunding, we're not able to offer refunds due to the deep discounts and extra value-added free perks (like Pzizz and SlumberStudios) already included. We will eventually offer a 60-day risk-free, sleep-soundly, money-back guarantee. This will go into effect once we launch on our retail website and are selling at our full price of $299. Then , if a consumer tries the Sleepbuds for a period of at least 14 days and doesn't like for any reason, we’ll refund the purchase price after the product is returned.
Will the app work on Android and Apple Devices?
Yes, the app will be available for Android phones running Android 12 or later and Apple iPhones & iPads running iOS 16.4 or later.
