I bought Bose 700s a few months ago on the whim they might help my spouse deal with my terrible snoring without having tried any active noise cancellation headphones before.

I've had maybe twice since where she said she could kinda hear me a little bit versus her being livid at me for keeping her up all night. Really life changing.

If anyone else is looking for something to help block noise or relax while sleeping, I recommend also taking a look at the 2nd gen Bose sleep buds. They’re great if you’re a side sleeper and wouldn’t be able to wear headphones to bed. They fit quite well in my ears.

Now big caveat: they don’t stream audio and they aren’t noise canceling. They only play looping sounds that you download from the Bose sleep app. That said, I’ve found them to be helpful in staying asleep. Pricey also, but if it helps you sleep, it’s worth trying in my opinion.

is your spouse sleeping with over ear headphones on?
