Anker’s new sleep speakers want to fix your nights without you wearing a thing

Anker is entering the sleep technology market with two new bedside speakers, the SleepLab and SleepLab Pro. The SleepLab Pro is designed to replace traditional sleep trackers or bands, using 60 GHz radar on the bedside table to monitor sleep cycles, heart rate, and breathing. It then creates a personalized sleep soundtrack based on the data collected, offering guided breathing exercises, acoustic beats, and a daily sleep report.

The SleepLab Pro also features dual drivers for spatial audio, multi-color ambient lighting, and a gentle sunrise effect to help wake up gently in the morning. The standard SleepLab, on the other hand, is a phone-free, one-tap speaker that focuses on streaming music, podcasts, and personal audio. It includes over 180 white noise and breathing sounds to aid sleep, and also uses dual speakers for spatial sound with soft, warm lighting synced to the audio.

Both speakers offer a sunrise simulation and crescendo alarm to wake users gently. The SleepLab Pro is available for a one-dollar reservation with a $169.99 price tag, while the SleepLab is priced at $269.99. These sleep-focused audio devices could be an attractive alternative for those who don't want to wear sleep trackers or bands while they sleep.
