Lullabar vs Soundcore Sleep
Nothing In Your Ears,All Night Long
Soundcore's Sleep A20 and A30 are well-made in-ear buds built for bedtime. Lullabar takes a different path: an 11mm speaker that slips under your pillow, so nothing sits in your ears at all. Here is an honest look at both.

The Full Comparison
What Sits In Your Ears
The core difference between the two.
Nothing at all
An 11mm speaker rests under your pillow. No tips, no wings, no pressure inside your ear canal, no matter how you turn.
Low-profile in-ear buds
Smaller than normal earbuds with soft wings, but they still sit inside your ear. Some side sleepers feel them over a full night.
Blocking Outside Noise
How well each one quiets a noisy room or a snoring partner.
Gentle sound masking
Creates a personal sound zone in your pillow that softens background noise. It does not seal your ears, so loud sounds still get through.
Sealed fit, plus ANC on A30
A sealed ear canal blocks more noise, and the A30 adds active noise cancelling and snore masking for loud environments.
Price & What You Pay For
The cost to start sleeping with sound.
One-time purchase
A single purchase with free shipping and no subscription. The full sound library is built in.
$150 (A20) to $200 (A30)
Premium pricing for the tech inside. Excellent buds, but a bigger upfront spend for nightly sleep audio.
Battery & Charging
How often you have to think about charging.
10+ hours, nothing to dock
Charge it every few nights with the timer on. There is no charging case to keep track of each morning.
Longer total runtime with case
The A20 runs up to 14 hours in sleep mode and the case extends it much further, but the buds dock in the case between nights.
Simplicity
How quickly you go from box to sleep.
Press play and sleep
11 built-in sounds play with no phone or app. Stream Spotify or Calm over Bluetooth when you want to.
App unlocks the good parts
Sound library, ANC tuning, and sleep tracking live in the Soundcore app, which is worth setting up for the full experience.
