For Me Buds: The Sleep Earbuds for Smart Travel

October 29, 2024

PPG based analysis and personalized audio ensure quality sleep anywhere. Ideal for daily use with active noise cancellation.

Story

Sleepwave is a team of LG product engineers who have come together for the sake of improving our quality of sleep and the quality of our lives. In July 2023, we released “brid.zzz” — the brainwave measuring sleep earbuds that synchronize your brainwaves with special audio stimuli — in South Korea, and the reviews speak for themselves!

Our Kickstarter exclusive product, For Me Buds, are more than just an improvement on the sleep tools of our previous product. With active noise cancelling and other features for better use in the daytime, we’ve truly elevated our product for better comfort and usability both day and night.

For Me Buds is 24 hour sleep improvement whether you’re at home or away. Get a full night’s sleep no matter how jetlagged you are with For Me Buds — only on Kickstarter!

Designed with a compact size and an in-ear fit to accommodate even side sleepers, our earbuds ensure comfort in any sleeping position without pain. Say goodbye to sleep disruption.

Through ergonomic testing on six areas of the ear, we perfected a design that maximizes ear comfort with a perfect fit.

These in-ear earbuds use medical-grade silicone eartips that are safe for the skin, even with long-term wear. There are also air vents to help keep air circulating in the ears.

With 6 customizable eartips, you can mix and match to find the perfect fit for your ear shape and personal needs.

This tiny product comes with big technology. Our pioneer real time monitoring is equipped with a carefully crafted algorithm, and our high-tech integrated micro sensors precisely measure heart rate variability.

The PPG sensor measures pulse waves in real time at 128-256Hz, averaging every 6ms, while the motion sensor measures movement in real time at 125Hz every 8ms. In addition, a noise-filtering algorithm is included to accurately assess the user’s condition, correcting measurement errors caused by movement.

User’s heart rate and heart rate variability are measured in real time, allowing for immediate analysis of movements and brain activity while you sleep.

For Me Buds analyze the user’s condition to provide a customized sound for your sleep stage. Our patented Dynamic Binaural Beats (“DB Beats”) technology is both soothing and functional! There’s no need to pick and choose from a lengthy catalogue of songs—just leave it to the algorithm!

Binaural beats are a technique that synchronizes brainwaves by providing different frequencies to each ear. Our patented technology adapts to the user’s physiological state and can be used for various purposes.

For Me Buds currently has an audio content library of over 70 functional audio tracks.

The effect of Dynamic Binaural Beats has been verified by a study published in the Oxford Sleep journal.

When you’re trying to fall asleep, Sleep Mode plays the perfect track for your stage of sleep to help you maintain an ideal sleep pattern. You can also choose if you want a long, deep sleep, or a quick power nap. 

Once you fall asleep, the audio automatically turns off. If you wake up in the middle of the night, the audio will play again so you can fall right back to sleep. In Power Nap Mode, you can set a smart alarm to wake you back up after a set time.

Need a quick break from the stresses of day-to-day life? Just use Refresh Mode for a quick meditation session. This mode measures your specific brain frequency, then uses functional audio tracks and guided breathing to relieve stress. 

When you need to concentrate on work or study for an upcoming exam, just use Focus Mode. For Me Buds’ focus-enhancing audio will instantly immerse you in your work.

For Me Buds analyze your physiological state and lifestyle to provide functional audio that’s optimized for you.

By analyzing your hearing in your right and left ears, For Me Buds provides balanced audio stimulation.

For Me Buds is GPT-powered, unlocking sophisticated analysis and recommendations for even more sleep improvements. The more you use these earbuds, the better they become at providing personalized guidance.

We already have an algorithm in place for the For Me Buds app, and we’re currently enhancing it to further analyze body, exercise, and other data for improved brainwave analysis.

Despite their ultra-compact size, For Me Buds contain powerful technology.

Our Cutting-edge active noise-canceling feature effectively blocks out ambient noise up to 40dB, protecting your precious sleep hours.

The ANC feature automatically switches between strong and mild modes based on nearby noise levels.

During calls, For Me Buds filter out ambient noise, allowing your voice to be heard with clarity and precision.

And with Bluetooth 5.3, pairing is instant and stable with the highest quality audio.

You can also use the Find Device feature to make your earbuds emit a sound, making them easy to locate.

For Me Buds last up to 10 hours on a full charge, providing complete overnight coverage. Plus, the case holds over 5 full charges, ensuring minimal charging hassle while you’re on the go.

For Me Buds is currently undergoing testing for eco-friendly and safety-related global certifications, including…

  • WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)
  • RoHs (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
  • UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
  • FCC (Federal Communications Commission)
  • CE (Conformité Européenne)
  • CB (Certification Bodies)
  • SIG (Bluetooth Special Interest Group)
  • Qi (Wireless Power Consortium)

We spend roughly one-third of our lives asleep. But what if we could make such an important part of our lives better? This simple question was the starting point for our project. 

Finally, after 3 years of testing and research, we released our first product, brid.zzz, in South Korea in July 2023. After collecting user feedback and improving upon our ideas, we added noise cancelling and other quality of life features from conventional earbuds to our product. Now, we’re proud to reveal For Me Buds to the Kickstarter community. Whether you’re flying to a foreign country, on a road trip, or need sleep for tomorrow’s main event, For Me Buds will help you get some much-needed shut eye. We hope you will help support our campaign for For Me Buds: the sleep earbuds that double as a pair of high quality buds for the day to day.
