My review - not of the video but the product, if it helps anyone looking to purchase this. The product purchased new November 2020, registered an account and the product with the app successfully. The headphone lasted about 5 months, used only a handful of times and then it failed completely. It would not recharge at all after draining overnight when it should have automatically switch off with sleep. Customer service accept product is faulty but would not honour warranty because it wasn’t purchased from an authorised vendor. Recommend any prospective buyer crosscheck the reseller status as you'd definitely need the warranty. While it worked, it was comfortable but sound quality is well below desirable. Battery life is very poor and customer services don't back their product.
I’m so desperate for a pair of headphones to sleep in. I work nights, and I’m a full contact sleeper. Really I just move about a lot. I’ve broken numerous earbuds including (but not limited to) AirPods Pro and jabra active 75t. I don’t mind spending the money if it has good sound quality, comfort, and durability. Would you recommend these in that case? I might cry if I spend the $300+ on them just to watch them break soon after.
I use my JBL Headphones with active noise cancelling just for the mornings at 6am when loud chirping birds wake me up. I put them on for an hour or so and can only sleep with my head up. Seems to work fine. The JBLs were only $160 AUD or so.
@@hailey9375 Yes they do but then every now and then you get a loud beeping reminder on the JBL to let you know their working ! Which is louder than any bird sound. That’s if their switched on with no music. So best thing to do is put them on with everything switched off including ANC. Seems to work.
@@fredsalfa thank u i live with a issue were sounds bother me even music rn so theres no humming or nothing nust headphones that block noises without music to?
I'm not sure how the EEG works from a technical perspective, but I know their Kickstarter page talks about it in detail www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861630723/take-control-of-your-sleep-with-kokoon-eeg-headpho
@@TonyFlorida I guess what i really mean was how well did the EEG work for tracking sleep states, not the tech side. It would be better than phone on mattress with accelerometer.
Happy for you for quitting to travel. I haven’t seen your other videos but I think if you liven up your personality and put some more work into your videos you can take off. Like you didn’t actually sleep with the headphones and you could have taken the headphones out of their case at the end when you panned the camera over them
I sleep with my Sony wh-mx1000xm3 all the time and ive never had a problem with them, one great thing is they never get hot and the build in atmosphere control makes it really comfy tbh, do these compare well to the sonys?
It certainly sounds like the Kokoons are very comparable with the Sony's wh-mx1000xm3. I'd be interested to see a full comparison between the two headphones
4 months later but I have to know, do you never sleep on your side?? Do you lie on your back and never change positions or something because headphones that size should not be an enjoyable experience sleeping with lmao
You mean the Sony WH-1000XM3, right? Their naming is crap. Anyway, sometimes I have to sleep with mine too (the Sonys), but it tends to get just too hot under them. May I ask how yours do not get hot? Do you live in the Arctic?
@@labernitrum I never notice it tbh, I like my house to be cold and live in the UK so maybe that's why but it could also just be I fall asleep before they get hot? Not really sure tbh 😂
@@TonyFlorida Haha, I sure hope they didn't spend their seed money on voice over fees. Although, that might explain why it took 5 years to fulfill crowdfunders' orders.
Ordered 4 years same as you. It arrived today and they freaking charged an additional 60 usd for some reason. It this is faulty like other shitty scam kickstarter projects im going to be so pissed.
That's NOT how you review sleeping headphones! You should've tested them first for a couple of nights and then give us your impression! Go through all those "boring" app tutorials and tell as all about the app - what functionality it offers, how the EEG works, how much noise it blocks, how it detects noise disturbance and how it reacts, what white noise it offers and how useful they are - in short, cover all the things the producer promises the product will do! Instead, you just focused on sound quality with an external appp like you would with normal headphones. At least you said a few words about using it for side sleepers, otherwise it would've been a complete waste of time.
I have slept with in ears for years. Most of the time they don't stay in all night but it allows you to fall asleep. You're best bet is to tire yourself out before bed and have complete darkness
I found that there is an art to inserting earplugs. After rolling/squeezing the earplug between your fingers, the trick is to pull up on your ear as you sick it in. It'll expand and block out a majority of the noise. Also not all earplugs are created equal. Don't bother with the cheap ones. There's a huge difference with the high quality ones.
@@Platinum989 I use them mostly for listening to music, not so much to sleep with at night since I don't have the noise problem anymore. I would suggest that if you get these headphones to get the recommended pillow, because a hard pillow will not be comfortable when sleeping with these headphones
I don't think this is a good product, i don’t see how one can sleep with headphones on. first of all, they need to be closed to achieve active noise canceling, meaning that the ears will get very hot and that can’t be comfortable, not mentioning the pressure if you sleep on the side, like most people. Other features might be the best, but I don’t believe they can balance the cons
I think it's worth reading over this page on Kokoon's site: kokoon.io/pages/how-it-works The earcups are ventilated, and a certain type of pillow is recommended (obviously you can't sleep on a hard pillow with these)
Thanks for showing the side sleeping. The low profile looks great to distribute the weight. My current beats headphones stick out so much
Sure thing John
Mine have broken 12 times and fixing them is expensive I need something that won’t brake if I slay on them
@@owen5602 my beats broke at the hinge too. I fixed it once then it broke again, didn't fix it again
Just wanna say.. great quality video man. Seriously the editing was top notch and camera angles were on point as well - good content, keep it up 👍
Much appreciated!
How can I get it in india??

Bummer about the warranty. Who was the vendor?
Love you as a human being ❤️ love from India ❤️🇮🇳

They do have a 2 week return period. So you could try them out. The only risk is the cost of the shipping. There's also a 1 year warranty in the US

Omg im having the same issue with the dang birds so does those JBL headphones block out the bird noises completely

Imagine asmr with these
😀
These sound ok but are like $499 AUD, how does the EEG work that really interests me, as I would really like to know how well(bad) I sleep.

We ordered ours in 2015. Still waiting.
Really, you still didn't get yours?
@@TonyFlorida stil wsiting on both of ours. They still havnt sent when we emailed them last month. They wont refund us either
@@mysassybear did you fill out the survey and/or talk to Tim the founder? I assumed everyone had theirs by now
Great video you à really good reviewer

The voice of "Steve" (at 6:18) sounds so much like Richard Armitage, it's crazy...
You don't think Kokoon hired Richard, do you? ;)
@@TonyFlorida Haha, I sure hope they didn't spend their seed money on voice over fees. Although, that might explain why it took 5 years to fulfill crowdfunders' orders.
@@OriginalPhil haha yeah exactly 🤣
Hi, are you still using it? How is the condition. Still okay? How about the mic. Is it okay for phone call
I don't use these as frequently as I used to
I can’t find the follow up.
Sorry no follow up

I think you will be happy with your headphones :)

Sorry to disappoint. Appreciate your feedback!
can I also use them when I'm working out in the gym and I don't like the music playing in the gym, are they going to prevent the music?
That should not be a problem
You still got them? Do they still work? I'm looking to buy one.
Yes and yes :)
@@TonyFlorida I got the amazfit zenbuds now. They are ok and affordable.
how did they work when you sleep?
Although they are ventilated, I still found them to be hot when I sleep. I typically like it cool when I sleep
@@TonyFlorida have you did you use the ear buds?

In Australia these cost like fucking 550 bucks fuck that i mean do you just want my ears as well?
LOL
Is there an update?
I haven't gotten around to making another video about these headphones. Have any specific questions?
@@TonyFlorida Have you continued to use them? Are they usable long term? Do you become more comfortable using them?
@@Platinum989 I use them mostly for listening to music, not so much to sleep with at night since I don't have the noise problem anymore. I would suggest that if you get these headphones to get the recommended pillow, because a hard pillow will not be comfortable when sleeping with these headphones
No built in volume control on the headphones?
Correct, no volume control
@@TonyFlorida Seems like a major design flaw in the headphones then.
How's the noise cancelling at night while sleeping? I'm getting them to cutout ac condenser noise that I can hear outside
At least in my experience, you'll still probably be able to hear the external noise, just at a muffled, lower level if that makes sense
Where are you from dc
Thats a wild accent
I'm from Pennsylvania originally, but living on Baltimore at the time of this video
Tony Florida oh hell yea I thought so.. Dont try to lose it..thats an awesome accent
You lost me at $200
Yeah.... these are definitely premium headphones
200 is below average price for headphones
You quit your job to review earphones?
Better than a desk job
@@TonyFlorida very true
He's talking crap he's after a return on his investment they are not that good.

How ironic :)
How much did they pay you to shill this hard?
Lol nothing. I just like making vids
They are the worst headphones ever!
