How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want all-day battery life and touch controls for music, calls and workouts, choose Gabba Goods Earbuds; if you need earbuds built specifically for sleeping on your side through the night, choose OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. These two products look similar in a search result, but they solve completely different problems. One is a general-purpose everyday pair with a smart LED case. The other is a purpose-built sleep tool with no touch controls at all — and that missing feature is the whole point.
• Gabba Goods Earbuds — biggest strength: Touch controls, voice assistant access and a smart LED power display in a lightweight USB-C case, at 4 hours per charge and a 1-hour recharge time.
• Gabba Goods Earbuds — biggest trade-off: 4 hours of playtime per bud is short for overnight use, and the touch panel can be triggered accidentally when your ear presses into a pillow.
• OHAYO Sleep Earbuds — biggest strength: 12 hours of continuous playback per charge, 2.7g per earbud, and a deliberate no-touch-control design so nothing changes mid-sleep.
• OHAYO Sleep Earbuds — biggest trade-off: You give up touch controls entirely, so pausing or skipping means reaching for your phone or the app.
• Who Gabba Goods is for: Commuters, gym-goers and desk workers who want cheap-and-cheerful daily earbuds with tap controls.
• Who OHAYO is for: Side sleepers, light sleepers and anyone who wants audio running quietly all night long.
The Gabba Goods Truebuds Bliss is an everyday in-ear wireless earbud in white, and its spec sheet reads like a checklist for general daily use. You get Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity with a range of up to 10 meters, a 400mAh USB-C charging case, and a smart LED power display that tells you where your battery stands. The case charges in about an hour. Each earbud runs for up to 4 hours per charge, and the case holds enough juice for multiple top-ups.
Audio is handled by 6mm dynamic drivers with a 20Hz–20KHz frequency range and 16 ohms of impedance per the feature list (the item details list 20 ohms, so treat the impedance figure loosely). In plain terms: this is a normal, well-rounded earbud tuning meant for music, podcasts, calls and voice assistants. Touch gestures let you play, pause, skip, adjust volume and summon Siri or Google Assistant without pulling out your phone. Noise control is passive, meaning the seal of the bud does the blocking rather than active circuitry.
OHAYO Sleep Earbuds: Who It's For
The OHAYO Sleep Earbuds (model A10) are the opposite approach: instead of adding features, OHAYO removed one on purpose. There are no touch controls on the buds at all. The brand's stated reason is that tossing and turning, or pressing your ear against a pillow, normally causes accidental volume jumps, track skips and setting changes. Take the touch panel away and those disruptions can't happen. That single design decision is what separates this product from almost every other earbud in the same price neighborhood.
Comfort is the second pillar. Each earbud weighs just 2.7g, and the housing uses an ergonomic curved shape intended to mold to most ear types. The buds are described as ultra-thin and tiny specifically so side sleepers feel no pressure against the pillow. The package includes ear cushions in multiple sizes, which matters more than usual here — a sleep bud that doesn't seal properly will neither stay in nor block sound.
On sound, you get Adaptive Noise Cancellation plus ENC microphones aimed at partner snoring, traffic hum and office chatter, a 5mm dynamic driver, 16 ohms impedance, 89dB sensitivity, 20Hz–20KHz response and 50ms latency. Bluetooth 6.0 is the headline connectivity spec, with a claimed range up to 30 meters. The real standout is battery: up to 12 hours of continuous playback on a single earbud charge, with a pocket-friendly 33g case that recharges via USB-C in 2 hours and holds enough power for roughly 6 full recharges — about 72 hours of combined use. Controls run through an app rather than the buds themselves.
Buy it if you're a side sleeper, a light sleeper, or someone who wants white noise, ASMR, audiobooks or podcasts running from lights-out to alarm. Skip it if you want tap-to-skip controls during a workout or commute, or if you prefer managing playback without opening an app.
• Best for battery life → OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. 12 hours per charge plus roughly 72 hours combined versus 4 hours per charge on Gabba Goods.
• Best for sleep and side sleeping → OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. 2.7g per bud, curved ultra-thin housing, and no touch controls to bump in the night.
• Best for noise reduction → OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. Adaptive Noise Cancellation with ENC microphones beats the passive-only isolation on Gabba Goods.
• Best for touch controls and quick access → Gabba Goods Earbuds. Tap gestures for playback, volume, skipping and voice assistants; OHAYO relies on an app.
• Best for fast charging → Gabba Goods Earbuds. The case refills in about 1 hour versus 2 hours for OHAYO.
• Best for pairing range → OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. Bluetooth 6.0 with a stated range up to 30 meters versus Bluetooth 5.4 at up to 10 meters.
• Best for hands-free voice assistants → Gabba Goods Earbuds. Siri and Google Assistant are a tap away; OHAYO doesn't advertise assistant activation.
• Best for everyday gym, commute and desk use → Gabba Goods Earbuds. A general-purpose bud with a smart LED case is the simpler daily driver.
In my opinion, the right pick depends entirely on when you'll wear them most. If sleep is the job — side sleeping, white noise, snoring partners, all-night playback — I'd buy the OHAYO Sleep Earbuds. The 12-hour single-charge runtime, 2.7g weight and deliberate lack of touch controls are exactly what that use case needs, and the app-based controls are a fair trade. If you just want an inexpensive everyday pair with tap controls and a case that shows its charge, I'd take the Gabba Goods Earbuds — and accept that four hours per charge rules them out for overnight use.
Yes, based on the design specs. OHAYO is built for it: 12 hours of playback per charge, 2.7g per earbud, a curved low-profile shape and no touch controls to trigger accidentally. Gabba Goods offers 4 hours per charge and a touch panel, which is a poor match for a pillow.
No. Their noise control is listed as passive noise cancellation, which means the earbud seal reduces outside sound. OHAYO, by contrast, lists Adaptive Noise Cancellation plus ENC microphones for isolating snoring, traffic and background chatter.
You can — the 12-hour battery and Bluetooth 6.0 range are more than enough. But with no touch controls, every pause or skip goes through the app, which is awkward mid-workout. Gabba Goods is the friendlier choice for gym and commute use.
Per the specs: Gabba Goods gives up to 4 hours per earbud charge with a 400mAh case that recharges in about an hour. OHAYO gives up to 12 hours per charge, with a 33g case that refills in 2 hours and holds roughly 6 extra charges, for about 72 hours combined.
