Ozlo, known for its high-end sleep earbuds, has launched a co-branded version in partnership with the popular meditation and sleep app, Calm. The new Ozlo x Calm Sleepbuds, available in a calming blue colorway, include a free one-year subscription to either Calm Premium or Calm Sleep (valued at $80 or $70, respectively). The earbuds retail for $349, the same price as the original Ozlo Sleepbuds.
A Pricey Investment in Sleep
At $349, Ozlo Sleepbuds remain one of the most expensive options on the market. While not currently the top recommendation due to price, the inclusion of a year-long Calm subscription adds significant value for those interested in both sleep tech and mindfulness. The original Ozlo Sleepbuds are occasionally available for $299, but without the bundled Calm access.
Value Breakdown: Beyond the Hardware
Subtracting the cost of the Calm subscription effectively reduces the price of the Ozlo Sleepbuds to $279. This positions them closer in range to more affordable alternatives like the Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 ($229.99), though the Soundcore option includes active noise cancellation (ANC). Notably, Ozlo Sleepbuds are also eligible for purchase using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.
Platform-Specific Subscriptions
The Calm subscription offered varies depending on the user’s device. iOS users receive access to the Calm Sleep app, designed for deeper, personalized sleep support. Android users receive a Calm Premium subscription, as the Calm Sleep app is not currently supported on Android. Both subscriptions grant access to Calm’s extensive library of sleep stories, meditations, and music.
Seamless Integration
The Ozlo Sleepbuds function with their own companion app, allowing users to set alarms, play sleep sounds, or stream audio from Calm or other sources. The collaboration between Ozlo and Calm aims to deliver a comprehensive sleep solution by combining premium hardware with a trusted mindfulness platform.
According to Greg Justice, Calm’s chief content officer, the partnership is a natural fit: “Sleep is a superpower. By combining Calm’s trusted content library with Ozlo’s best-in-class sleep tech, we’re enabling people to fall (and stay) asleep more easily, ensuring they wake up refreshed and ready to own the day.”
The co-branded earbuds also feature an engraved Calm logo and the brand’s signature phrase, “Take a Deep Breath,” on the charging case.
Conclusion
The Ozlo x Calm Sleepbuds represent a premium investment in sleep, combining high-end hardware with a year of access to a leading mindfulness platform. While expensive, the bundled subscription adds significant value for those seeking a holistic approach to sleep improvement
