man i so thought this played music, it would be the perfect headset for me. i like listening to audiobooks before sleeping and every single bt headset i tried doesn't let me move around while laying down (mostly because the wrap around the back of my head).

Yeah, we had to limit that because it is first and foremost a noise isolation device for sleep and we had to have 10 hours of sound generation to be able to get through the night :( We're considering in V2 to let it be an option to stream audio for like an hour or so and then autoshutoff! This is our "MVP"

Good. Keep it simple! So many Kickstarters fail because the founders try to overreach and end up making products that do a mediocre job of their USP and a worse job of all the tiered extras they throw in. Feature creep will kill you.

Exactly! Thanks for understanding dude!

Couldn't you skip the music altoghether then? (although I guess then it would lose value?)

Wristwatches produce a sound tuned carefully to the peak sensitivity of the ear, so the battery lasts a lot.
