Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Best Sleep Tech 2020 – Amazfit ZenBuds”.
What is up folks how’s it going. This watch hope you guys are all doing well and today we’re going to be doing an overview of the amaze fit zen buds now at first glance, these kind of look like your standard, true wireless earbuds that are very common in these days, but they’re actually specifically Designed for one task, and that is to aid and monitor your sleeping habits from a day-to-day basis. Now, there’s certainly no doubt about it. There’S tons of research out there that demonstrates that sleep is probably one of the most important health markers out there and perhaps the single most important thing you could do to increase your overall longevity is improve your sleep quality and there’s really, no wonder why in recent Years the sleep tech industry has been really growing quite dramatically and, although there’s been a lot of successful products that do a great job in terms of monitoring your sleep, things like the apple watch, loop, strap or a ring. There’S actually not a lot of products out there that will actively aid your sleeping progress in terms of eliminating any kind of background noises and providing auditory stimulation that will help you decompress and to find that comfortable space to finally get some quality z time now.
A couple years back, bose actually came out with a product similar to the zen buds, where they provided passive noise cancellation and auditory cues that aided your sleeping progress that product has been discontinued now with the zen buds. You pretty much have the same overall benefits with some additional bonus features at a much lower cost, and probably the first thing that we should mention straight off. The bat is that these are not regular, true wireless earbuds. They don’t have the functionality to stream, music or video, or to even pair with your bluetooth, enabled device on a regular basis. You have to do everything through the amaze fit app and here’s where you can load up up to 19 different soundscapes onto the earbuds and there’s nine different sounds built into these tiny little things. Now the variety of soundscapes that you get range from static noises that include frequencies that promote good quality sleeping patterns, as well as natural soundscapes from the environment out there, such as running water, forest noises, birds, chirping and other soothing, sounds that help promote sleep and will Inherently, let you get some quality shut eye now in terms of playing back all these sounds there’s actually a smart sleep detection mode which will turn off any of these soundscapes once the headphones detect that you have gone to a sleep but there’s also playback options that Allows you to set a specific timer as well as unlimited playback time, which allows you to manually shut off any of the soundscapes when you actually wake up.
Additionally, there’s a built-in alarm clock, which is super handy it’ll, gradually increase the sound of the alarm where it will eventually wake you up and not startle you, which is a nice thing, and the perk towards having an alarm in your ear is that you won’t disturb Anybody else around you now in terms of the noise cancellation aspect of these earbuds. They don’t have any active noise cancellation built in mainly due to the fact that you don’t want an active, a system with earbuds that you’re going to sleep with because they create a vacuum-like, sound isolation. Environment that differentiates the pressure between the inner and outer ear. And may cause some discomfort and harm in the long run.
Furthermore, anc earbuds are really designed for daytime use, since they mostly take out higher frequency noises that you’re going to experience out and about in the environment in your bedroom. When you’re trying to get some sleep, you’re, probably not going to deal with those harsher frequencies. Furthermore, since these come with four different ear tip sizes, you can get the exact fit for your ear and do a great job in terms of passively isolating any unwanted noises. So, ultimately, i don’t think of these things as regular traditional earbuds.
I really think of these things as smart earplugs for sleeping specifically and everything in terms of the form fit and design of these earbuds echo that notion quite dramatically. They only weigh about 1.78 grams, which is lighter than any other two wireless bud that you’re going to encounter they’re ultra thin ultra compact in your ear, so you can easily wear them and completely forget that you have them in your ear. Now, at the end of the bud, you’ll find an ultra stretchy silicone tip that abrases against the concha of your ear. So you actually have a very secure fit that will try to ensure that the headphones stay in place and not fall out during at the night. But i’ve had encountered some occasions where the headphones have fallen off, but that was due to the fact that i didn’t have the right, ear tip size. I needed a larger size and the smaller one just came out a little bit easier.
But once you have the right fit, it should be pretty secure during your sleeping session and now in terms of analyzing your sleeping patterns, you uh, monitor everything through the amazefit app, it’s very simply laid out it’ll give you uh some basic informations about your sleeping session. Like the duration, the score in terms of how you did relative to others, it will also display the times you were in light and deep sleep, and there is no indication for when you were in rem, sleep. So that’s kind of upsetting to see other than that. You also have an analysis of your average heart rate, as well as how many times you’ve tossed and turned, and the amount of times you’re on your left right and back side, which is definitely cool to see.
Furthermore, you also find some sleep quality tips in order to improve your overall sleep. So in my case it says that i fell asleep too late and i need to get more hours of sleep at least seven to nine hours, as recommended over here now. In terms of the battery life of the individual buds themselves, they’ll last for about eight hours, with continuous audio playback at around a medium volume settings. Now, if you choose to not listen to any music like myself, i kind of use these as ear plugs, more or less you’re, obviously going to get better battery performance or if you just play some sounds in the beginning of your sleeping cycle. Let’S say for three hours: you’re, obviously going to get a lot more battery life out of them and the charging case will get you another seven charges in total, with the charging case and earbuds you’ll get a solid, eight nights of battery life.
So that means you’re. Pretty much going to be charging the case every week, or so now, besides those notions, that’s really it! I really think that, in terms of monitoring your sleep, these are an excellent alternative to a smart watch or any of those other products that are out there. Certainly more comfortable for me personally, i use them as kind of like smart earplugs.
I don’t really use the soundscapes too much uh, perhaps something on a low volume level. But, generally speaking, i like a ultra quiet, undistracted atmosphere and certainly earplugs are going to help in that situation, and these really do have a nice comfortable fit. That makes it perfect for monitoring your sleep as well as eliminating any kind of background noise. That might be inherent in your particular sleeping environment. Other than that i know some people might have some problems with the fact that these are limited to only one task, not asleep. You can’t listen to music, can’t watch videos or movies, and things like that, like a regular bluetooth, earbuds, but that’s actually a positive thing about these things. It’S a dedicated piece of tag that allows you to decompress and isolate yourself from your day-to-day tasks. To finally get some quality shut-eye, if they had all those regular features built in, you could easily listen to audiobook or watch videos movies and again ruin your sleep quality like so many people are doing already were already distracted throughout the day. It’D be nice to be not distracted during the night, where we all need some quality shut eye check out the description for more details about the zen bud.
They just had a successful indiegogo campaign and you’ll find more information about the headphones and how to get them. We want to thank you guys so much for watching and continuing to support the channel as well as amaze fit for supplying the zen buds for this video. Take care and we’ll see you later .
