The Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are now available to purchase. These
are some of the only sleep earbuds with ANC, which could be a boon for light
sleepers that live in busy metropolitan areas. The company says they
"effectively block out snoring, pet sounds, appliance hum and outside traffic
noise."

There are other techy additions here, beyond ANC. Anker's proprietary Ear
Canal Adaptation algorithm adjusts to unique ear shapes for "deeper noise
reduction." The charging case also includes a microphone that monitors and
analyzes ambient noise for snoring. Once snores are detected, it optimizes
the ANC to mask that specific noise. This could end up saving some
relationships.

The earbuds can also deliver binaural frequencies to each ear, which the
company says helps "sync your brainwaves with calming patterns to promote
relaxation and restful sleep." Users can make adjustments to any of these
systems via the Soundcore app, which also lets people set alarms, create
sleep reminders and more.

Not everyone can handle clunky earbuds when trying to fall asleep, so the
company tried to increase the comfort with this latest release. The Sleep A30
earbuds include a silicone exterior, short nozzles and a slim profile. The
developers created 3D maps of "thousands of ear canals" to make sure it would
fit most users comfortably.

We haven't gotten a chance to try these yet, but the reviews so far are
mostly positive. I'm a bit wary of ANC masking all ambient noise during sleep
in case of an emergency, but maybe that's just me. In any event, the
Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are available right now in two colorways.
