In the evolving audio market, consumers increasingly prefer sound without earbuds, driving innovations like bone-conduction headphones and open earbuds. Now, audio brands are targeting sleep enhancements, addressing the need for comfortable listening during bedtime. Jabees introduces a Bluetooth sleep speaker designed to fit under a pillow, offering a unique alternative to traditional earbuds and phone speakers. The Jabees Peace Pillow Speaker uses a variation of bone conduction, sending sound vibrations through the pillow to the ear.

This design is particularly beneficial for side sleepers who find earbuds uncomfortable. The device's compact size and portability make it ideal for travelers struggling with sleep. It can play audio via Bluetooth or independently with a microSD card, offering white noise and nature sounds.

The speaker's battery lasts up to 10 hours, with a useful sleep timer feature. Priced at $36 for the standard version and $40 for the plus bundle, the Jabees speaker provides better sound quality than a phone speaker, albeit not as refined as premium sleep earbuds. It is loud enough to be heard by a sleeping partner but offers a discreet option for those who prefer white noise.

However, back sleepers may find it less effective due to its positioning under the pillow. Overall, the Jabees Peace Pillow Speaker is a compelling option for those seeking an alternative to earbuds for sleep audio.
