Manta SOUND Tops Bluetooth Sleep Mask Review at $159 as Analyst Tests 32 Sleep Masks

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 8

Weeks of testing high-rated Bluetooth sleep masks led the reviewer to name the $159 Manta SOUND Sleep Mask the best overall pick.
Manta won on fit and function: adjustable speakers and eye cups, full blackout without eye pressure, a 24-hour battery, and auto shutoff after 30 minutes of silence.
The main drawbacks were harder-to-find nose-bridge controls and reports that the Velcro strap can weaken over time, though Manta offers a six-month warranty.
The $129 Snoozeband Silk finished as runner-up, helped by 10 built-in sleep sounds and 60- or 120-minute timers, but its speaker adjustment was cumbersome.
The review says Bluetooth masks make most sense for people who want both darkness and streamed audio without earbuds, especially side sleepers; a 2022 survey found 46% of adults listen to audio at bedtime.
