For Me Buds 2 uses a low-profile design for nighttime wear.
dbbeats’ For Me Buds 2 sleep earbuds are live on Kickstarter, combining a 10.4 mm design with adaptive sound and three layers of noise control. The second-generation model focuses on comfort against a pillow and a listening experience that responds during the night.
For side sleepers, the appeal is straightforward: this slim, lightweight device means less hardware pressing between your ear and the pillow.
And for light sleepers, the appeal is inside the device itself. There are several pieces of technology that help manage disruptive noise. A built-in PPG sensor supports personalized sound, while the companion app provides sleep and snoring insights.
All while keeping your data local on your device.
Designed for Side Sleeping
For Me Buds 2 has a 10.4 mm profile and weighs under 4 g per earbud. Soft ear tips and wing tips aim to keep the earbuds secure while reducing pressure against the pillow. Comfort will still depend on the fit and the wearer’s ear shape.
Three Layers of Noise Control
The earbuds combine Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation with passive isolation from the in-ear seal. Adaptive sleep sound adds a third layer by masking remaining distractions. Together, these approaches aim to manage nighttime sounds such as outside traffic, household noise, and a partner’s snoring. The result is unique, depending on the fit and the surrounding environment.
Adaptive Sound with Local Processing
A built-in PPG sensor supports biometric sensing, and the system uses those signals to personalize sleep sound in real time. The aim is to adjust the listening experience as the wearer’s nighttime rhythm changes, rather than only provide a report the next morning. The company uses on-device AI, so a user’s biometric data is processed locally. Not stored on servers. And doesn’t require a login.
Snoring Insights in the App
The companion For Me Buds app shows important sleep-related metrics, including sleep stages, total sleep time, heart rate, heart rate variability and frequency of snoring events. Product materials describe using the phone to pick up nighttime sound, so users can review when snoring occurred. This helps the user make more informed decisions about their “sleep strategy.” Should I maybe not have that burrito before bed?
