If you want an ultra lightweight wired headset with a long cable for movies and in-seat audio on flights, choose V7 HA310; if you need a washable Bluetooth sleep headband that doubles as an eye mask for side sleeping and red-eye flights, choose Perytong Sleep Headphones. These two couldn't be more different once you look past the word "lightweight" — one is a basic on-ear wired headset, the other is a fabric headband with hidden speakers. Here's how I'd pick between them.
• V7 HA310 — biggest strength: True on-ear stereo design with a 3.5 mm plug and a generous 1.8 m (70.8") cable, so it works with seatback screens, laptops and in-flight entertainment without any pairing.
• V7 HA310 — biggest trade-off: It's wired only (the Bluetooth listing field is a data quirk, not a wireless feature), so you're tethered to whatever you plug into.
• Perytong Sleep Headphones — biggest strength: A 3-in-1 Bluetooth 5.4 headband that works as sleeping headphones, a music eye mask and a sports headband, with thin on-ear discs built for side sleepers.
• Perytong Sleep Headphones — biggest trade-off: It's not a traditional headphone at all — no 3.5 mm jack, so it only works with Bluetooth devices, and the fabric needs washing (speakers removed first).
• Who each pick is for: V7 HA310 for anyone who wants a no-fuss wired headset for office, home or classroom listening; Perytong for sleepers, side sleepers and travellers who want audio and light blocking in one soft band.
The V7 HA310 is an old-school, no-nonsense headset. It's an on-ear stereo (binaural) design with an ergonomic adjustable headband and soft ear pads, built for comfortable listening over longer stretches. Inside are 30 mm dynamic drivers covering a 20Hz–20,000Hz frequency range at 32 ohm impedance — a spec set that tells you it's designed to be easy to drive from ordinary devices rather than to impress with deep bass.
The connection story is the whole point here. It's a wired 3.5 mm jack with a 1.8 m (70.8") cable that includes a wrap, plus a remote control method and volume control on the line. That means you plug it into a PC, a notebook, a tablet or a seatback entertainment screen and it just works — no pairing, no charging, no battery to die halfway through a flight. At 2.5 ounces it genuinely earns the "ultra lightweight" label, and the passive noise cancellation (that's physical isolation from the on-ear seal, not active circuitry) takes the edge off cabin drone.
Perytong Sleep Headphones: Who It's For
Perytong's headband is a completely different animal. It's a 3-in-1 product: Bluetooth sleep headphones, a Bluetooth sleep mask, and a Bluetooth sports headband. The fabric is ultra-soft, breathable mesh-lined and fully washable (remove the speakers first), and it stretches to fit most head sizes. The speakers are described as extremely thin on-ear discs — that's the design decision that makes it possible to lie on your side without a hard shell digging into your ear.
On the tech side it runs Bluetooth 5.4 with a range of up to 45 feet, connecting to any Bluetooth phone or portable device. There's a built-in stereo speaker and microphone, so you can take hands-free calls and skip tracks with the push-button controls without touching your phone. Battery-wise, it charges in about 2–2.5 hours and delivers more than 10 hours of playback — enough for a full night's sleep or a long-haul flight, assuming you're not looping audio the entire way.
Who should buy it: side sleepers, people who listen to ASMR, meditation or podcasts in bed, and travellers on red-eyes who want to block cabin light and play audio at the same time. The "active noise cancellation" field on this listing is worth treating with caution — with thin fabric discs and no ear cups, the real-world isolation comes from the mask covering your eyes and muffling ambient light and sound, not from powered ANC. Who should skip it: anyone who needs a wired connection, studio-grade sound, or a headset for a device without Bluetooth.
• Best for flights with a seatback screen → V7 HA310. The 3.5 mm plug and 1.8 m cable connect directly to in-flight entertainment; the Perytong can't, because it has no jack.
• Best for sleeping and side sleepers → Perytong Sleep Headphones. Thin on-ear discs and a soft fabric band are made for lying down; on-ear cups like the V7's are not.
• Best for blocking light on a plane → Perytong. It doubles as a sleep mask, which the V7 simply can't do.
• Best for battery-free reliability → V7 HA310. Wired means nothing to charge and nothing to pair — it works the moment you plug it in.
• Best for wireless freedom and calls → Perytong. Bluetooth 5.4 with a built-in mic and push-button controls beats a cable for moving around.
• Best for shared or public devices → V7 HA310. Classroom, office and library setups with a standard headphone jack are exactly what it's built for.
• Best for washing and hygiene → Perytong. The fabric band is washable; the V7's ear pads are not described as removable.
• Best for long listening sessions on one charge → Perytong, with over 10 hours of playback versus the V7's unlimited runtime while plugged in — different kinds of "long," but worth naming.
If I'm packing for a flight, I'd buy the V7 HA310. In my opinion, the 3.5 mm plug, the 1.8 m cable and the 2.5-ounce on-ear build make it the more predictable travel companion for flights — no pairing menu, no dead battery at hour nine, and it works with the seatback screen in front of you. I'd choose the Perytong Sleep Headphones instead if my priority were sleeping, side-sleeping or blocking light, because that's a job the V7 was never designed to do. Two ultra-lightweight products, two completely different jobs — match the one to your actual trip.
It's wired. The V7 HA310 uses a 3.5 mm jack with a 1.8 m (70.8") cable, so it connects physically to PCs, notebooks and portable audio devices. There's no Bluetooth pairing or charging involved.
Not directly. Perytong connects over Bluetooth 5.4 only — there's no 3.5 mm jack — so it works with your phone or tablet, not a wired seatback screen. For in-flight entertainment jacks, the V7 HA310 is the one that plugs in.
Perytong, clearly. Its extremely thin on-ear discs and soft, stretchy, washable fabric band are designed for lying on your side. The V7 HA310 is an on-ear headset with a rigid adjustable headband — fine for sitting up, awkward in bed.
Differently. The V7 HA310 lists passive noise cancellation, which is physical isolation from the on-ear seal. Perytong lists active noise cancellation, but with thin fabric discs and no ear cups, the practical benefit is more about the mask blocking light and muffling sound than powered ANC. Neither is a substitute for proper over-ear noise cancelling headphones.
That depends on what you need it for, so check the current price on Amazon for both before deciding. If you want a wired headset for work, study or flights, the V7 HA310 covers that job with a 2-year warranty. If you want a sleep mask, headband and Bluetooth headphones in one, Perytong does three jobs with a 1-year replacement policy.
