Setup
1. Charging Your Sleepbuds
Before first use, fully charge your sleepbuds and the charging case. Place the sleepbuds into the charging case. The indicator lights on the case will show the charging status. Ensure the sleepbuds make proper contact with the charging pins; the charging lights on each bud should blink to confirm charging. A full charge for the sleepbuds takes up to 8 hours.

2. App Installation and Pairing
The Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds operate exclusively with the Bose Sleep app. Download the app from your device's app store. Your smartphone or tablet must support Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) for correct functionality. Compatible devices include Apple devices with iOS 10 or later, and most devices with Android 5.0 and newer versions.
Once the app is installed, open it and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your sleepbuds via Bluetooth.

3. Finding the Right Fit
A proper fit is crucial for both noise masking effectiveness and comfort. The sleepbuds come with three sizes of StayHear+ Sleep tips (S/M/L). Experiment with each size to find the one that best conforms to the upper ridge of your ear and creates a comfortable seal.
- Insertion: Gently place the sleepbud into your ear. Do not push it too far. Twist it back slightly to lock it in place, then tuck in the wing tip under your ear's ridge.
- Visual Check: The Bose logo on the sleepbud should be clearly readable and right-side up. If it's upside down or not visible, the fit is incorrect.
- Comfort: The wing tip should tuck under the ear ridge without being compressed or causing discomfort. If it feels squished, try a smaller tip. If it doesn't reach the ridge, try a larger tip.
- Seal Test: Speak out loud. Your voice should sound muffled, indicating a good seal.
It is common for your left and right ears to require different sized tips.

The Bose Sleep app is your control center for the sleepbuds. Through the app, you can:
- Select Soothing Sounds: Choose from a library of pre-loaded sounds designed to mask noise and promote relaxation.
- Adjust Volume: Set your desired volume level for the masking sounds.
- Set Alarms: Configure wake-up alarms that play directly through the sleepbuds, ensuring you wake up without disturbing others.

2. Sleep Modes
The sleepbuds are designed to play selected soothing sounds continuously or for a set duration throughout your sleep. These sounds work by masking external noises, creating a peaceful environment for rest. The comfortable design allows you to sleep in any position, including on your side, without discomfort.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and hygiene of your sleepbuds:
- Gently wipe the sleepbuds and charging case with a soft, dry cloth.
- If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth for the exterior of the charging case, avoiding moisture near charging ports.
- Remove the StayHear+ Sleep tips and clean them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays.
Storage
Always store your sleepbuds in their charging case when not in use. This protects them from damage and keeps them charged for your next use. The case also provides an additional charge when unplugged, ideal for travel.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Sleepbuds not charging: Ensure the sleepbuds are correctly seated in the charging case and the charging lights are blinking. Check that the charging case itself is charged or connected to a power source. Clean the charging contacts on both the sleepbuds and the case if necessary.
- Poor noise masking or discomfort: Re-evaluate the fit of your ear tips. Try different sizes (S, M, L) to find the most secure and comfortable seal. Refer to the 'Finding the Right Fit' section for detailed instructions.
- Connectivity issues (Bluetooth): Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the Bose Sleep app is open. Verify that your device supports Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart). If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the sleepbuds through the app.
- One sleepbud not working: If one sleepbud consistently fails to function or charge, this may indicate a hardware issue. Contact Bose customer support for assistance.
- App not responding: Close and restart the Bose Sleep app. If the problem continues, try restarting your smartphone or tablet.
