    Posted on July 31st, 2008 admin No comments


    Are you tired of tossing and turning every night because you cannot seem to get to sleep? Unfortunately, you are not alone. Millions of cranky individuals are waking up on the wrong side of the bed because they suffer from some type of insomnia that won’t let them sleep through the night. If you go to your doctor with this issue, you may be prescribed sleeping pills that may or may not help – or may simply drug you up. But for many people, taking medication is not the answer to their problems. So what do you do to get a good night’s rest? Some recommend buying a good pair of sleep headphones that will tune out outside noises and let you rest peacefully throughout the night.

    Why Buy Sleep Headphones?

    There are a number of reasons that someone might buy a pair of these unique headphones, which is why there is more than one type offered to customers. For instance, you might need a pair that can block out noises in or around your home, while someone else might want to have music sort of “rock them to sleep.” If you suffer from a sleeping disorder, then either pair can be good in giving you the comfort you need to block out distractions besides the music (or no noise at all) to get some rest, so they are often recommended by medical professionals as an alternative to taking medication. 

    How Else Are They Beneficial?

    Another way that you can benefit from sleep headphones is if you are a person who must work the night shift. If you stay up all night and have to then rest in the daylight hours, it will probably be more difficult for you to get the rest you deserve. This is because some people may have children at home that make noise around the house or turn the television on. And other people may just have a difficult time sleeping when they know the Sun is shining outside. In these situations, it is best to block at as much light and sound as possible, which is why a blindfold or mask, and a good headset can come in very handy to you.

    What Types Are Available?

    There are a number of sleep headphones available on the market. In this article, we will focus on two different types, the SleepPhones System, and SleepSonic Audio.

    SleepPhones System

    This is probably the most popular product on the market today to help frustrated people get a good night’s rest. The entire package comes with a headset and a CD that can rock-a-bye you through the remainder of the night. This product was designed by a family doctor who found that instead of medicine, what many people need is just a certain type of music to help them sleep. So he created a soft fleece headband with thin speakers that can allow you to sleep peacefully and comfortably.

    But probably the most important aspect of the technology is the binaural beats CD is said to scientifically guide your brain into a sleeping pattern. Some other features of this system is that you can plug your headset into any iPod, CD player, tape player, computer or other audio device. It has a 45” cord, 1/8” stereo plug, frequency of 0-20kHz, and a Velcro tie to keep everything in tack at night.

    Some other uses people get out of the SleepPhones include biofeedback, sleep learning, meditation, and private/personal alarm clock. There are many online distributors that offer this headset and CD combination at great discount prices, so get out there and search until you find them at the price that works best for you.  

    SleepSonic Audio

    This system is slightly different than the sleep headphones previously mentioned. Instead of fitting around your head at night, this is actually pillow that has all of the components of a headset within it. It offers a portable design that was created for your ears, and can be connected to your portable devices, stereo system, home system, or PC. 

    Some other aspects of this pillow include Hi Fi speakers, a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 KHz, and a 200 mW power rating, which is a professional standard and allows you to hear the music clearly without turning it up. It is extremely comfortable and quiet enough to allow your partner to sleep soundly. 

    Sleep headphones are great asset to those needing a good night’s rest. So if you think you are someone who can benefit from this technology, try it out for yourself. By purchasing the sleep headphones or pillow above, you can feel sure that your upcoming nights while be the ones you’ve dreamed of.

    The world of technology is changing and it is high time you change along with it. So if you are still strapped to your 1987 wired headset that came with your Walkman, the time is now to upgrade. I know you’ve probably had some fond memories of bobbing down the street to Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Bruce Springstein and Michael Jackson, but you must know that there are better quality headsets on the market that can do your old music, as well as the music created 20 years later, a great deal of justice. So if you’re ready to enter the 21st century with upwardly mobile audio components, then get ready to get your own pair of single channel wireless infrared headphones.

    You’re probably wondering what the big deal is about getting these new headphones, so I’ve prepared a short list of reasons that it is a great idea to upgrade:

    Better Sound Quality – If you’ve recently looked through your old pictures and saw yourself with a mullet – and your current headset – then you can understand that just as you’ve jumped leaps and bounds to improve your personal appearance, technology has also jumped leaps and bounds to improve sound quality for headphones. In 1987 you were lucky if you had a stereo plug with your headset, now we not only get to take advantage of stereo quality; we also get to take advantage of surround sound, and even noise cancellation – a total improvement from 20 years ago.

    More Freedom – Another benefit of upgrading to single channel wireless infrared headphones and other wirefree headsets is the idea that you no longer have to sit at your stereo, computer, portable device or boombox to listen to your music. You are free to move around while still enjoying your music. And even better, you can connect your headset to your television set so that you can enjoy great movies at the volume you prefer without interrupting others.

    Single Channel Wireless Infrared Headphones on the Market

    Now that we’ve learned the benefits of upgrading, let’s take a look at some headsets that are not only affordable, but offer great convenience and sound quality.

    Unwired R1H21320 – These headphones offer sounds from a single source for excellent sound quality and have 40mm neodymium drivers for a deep bass response. For an improved wireless signal, they come with twin receiving diodes in each earpiece that allow for a 360-degree capture of the IR signal. And they offer a number of automatic functions, including an auto-off feature that is controlled by an integrated circuit, which turns the headset off approximately 3.5 minutes after they have no longer been used – this works well to preserve your battery. In addition, the provide supreme comfort with closed, thick-padded earpieces and an comfy adjustable headband. And they are not only compatible with your indoor audio devices – they are also compatible with your car audio/video applications. They function on 2 AAA batteries and have great operation and standby time.

    Power Acoustik WLHP-2IR – These single channel wireless infrared headphones offer UHF IR TX Wave technology. They have variable volume control created for individual comfort, and an automatic level control that remembers your previous settings. One great feature of this headset is the ability to move away from the included transmitter for up to 180 feet so that you can enjoy your music or movie without having to stay in the same room. But what’s best is that you actually get two headsets in the package so that you and another person can enjoy the same song or movie without having to share a headphone.

    Myron & Davis AE22 Dual Channel – Another great pair of single channel wireless infrared headphones, this Myron & Davis pair offer a channel A/B switch, on and off switch to preserve battery power, on-set volume control, and a great design that offers comfort for extended wear – even through those long movies that you can’t seem to stay away from. When you’re finished using them, you can place them back in the included carrying pouch.
     
    Single channel wireless infrared headphones give you the chance to finally break away from that old headset you’ve been nurturing for over two decades. Now that you know there is more out there, you can finally upgrade – and at a reasonable price. If you don’t want to throw the old headset away, just store it with your old clothes and dolls. Then one day, you’ll be able to look back fondly on your past while taking note of the day you finally chose to upgrade to a great pair of single channel wireless infrared headphones.
