Current versions have a wire to connect to a phone, but a
wireless version, set to go on sale in April, has just won a
prestigious awards at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas.

“Being able to sleep soundly is crucial to feeling well overall,
and SleepPhones help by playing relaxing audio, drowning
out noises, and establishing a positive bedtime routine,”
Wei-Shin Lai, one of the inventors of the headphones said.
The firm began selling the product in 2007, when Lai was
working as a doctor.
The firm is now set to introduce its first wireless version,
selling for 50 pounds in April.
“There’s a version of our product for sports, a version for
sleep, and now a wireless version that eliminates cords
entirely by playing back media from any Bluetooth-enabled
device,” Lai said.
The current version has a wire so it can be plugged into an
iPod or bedside alarm, but the next version will be wireless,
the firm said
