Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20s are perfect for side sleepers dealing with noisy partners, and the ANC model is discounted as well.


Anker’s remarkably compact Soundcore Sleep A20 sleepbuds are currently available for $108 at Amazon, marking their lowest price since they debuted on Kickstarter for $90 last year. Typically, these retail for $179.99, making this an excellent buy for a pair of incredibly small sleep buds that I hardly perceive as I fall asleep to the calming sounds of rain or bird calls.
Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20 are sleep buds designed to block outside noises, enable Bluetooth audio playback and white noise, and monitor your sleep. Check out our review.

I have been using mine since their launch in 2024 and wear them nearly every night. I appreciate that they come with integrated soundscapes, eliminating the need to have my phone close by. However, with a quick tap, they can shift into regular Bluetooth earbuds if I prefer to drift off to The Tortured Poets Department streaming from my device.
This year, Anker also introduced an active noise-cancelling variant, the A30, currently available for $179.99 at Amazon (down from $229). While ANC would indeed aid in blocking additional noise, the reduction in battery life noted by my colleague Thomas Ricker in his review keeps me satisfied with my A20s. They provide up to 14 hours of use, compared to six to nine hours on the A30s. Sleep buds aren’t effective if they run out of battery. Even though I can still hear my husband snoring with the A20s, they dampen the sound enough that it blends into the background instead of interrupting my rest.
