Manta Sleep Sound Review: Is this the Best Sleep Mask Around?

Sleep technology has evolved far beyond basic blackout masks, and the Manta Sound Sleep Mask represents the cutting edge of bedtime audio solutions. Combining Manta's proven 100% blackout design with ultra-thin Bluetooth speakers, this premium sleep mask is Manta Sleep's answer to revolutionizing how people experience nighttime audio.

After testing the Manta Sound Sleep Mask across different sleep positions and scenarios, we're ready to give you the complete breakdown of what works, what doesn't, and whether this premium sleep accessory deserves a spot on your nightstand.

Overview

The Manta Sound Sleep Mask (Previous Generation) represents a bold fusion of Manta's award-winning blackout technology with integrated Bluetooth audio. Featured on MrBeast, Forbes, Healthline, and more—Manta Sleep is one of the premier names in the sleep product market.

The mask features "razor-thin" speakers that are barely noticeable during wear, addressing the main complaint about traditional sleep headphones: bulk and discomfort. The speakers even slide along tracks within the mask, allowing you to reposition the speakers to the best spot for your personal comfort and audio quality.

What sets Manta sleep masks apart is their thoughtful commitment to uninterrupted sleep. Unlike most Bluetooth masks, the Manta Sound will never interrupt your sleep with battery notifications, a seemingly small detail that makes a huge difference in practice (no annoying notifications to wake you up).

Manta Sleep designs their masks not just for back sleepers but also side and stomach sleepers—aiming to make a fit that’s perfect for every type of sleeper

Sound Quality

For such small and comfortable speakers, the Manta Sound Sleep creates some impressive sound quality. It, of course, won’t outperform standard headphones, but that isn’t the intended purpose. The Manta Sleep Sound excellently delivers on its goal of providing comfortable, wearable night-time audio.

You can adjust the sleep mask and speaker position to be closer/farther from your ears to change speaker clarity. Wearing the mask tightly or sleeping on your side directly on the speaker will also create a closer fit with the speakers, creating a soundstage more similar to a typical headphone.

Build Quality & Comfort

The sleep mask is very well built, feeling sturdy yet soft. The C-shaped eye cups are made from soft fabric that conforms comfortably to your facial without creating pressure points.

The eye cups are tapered at the edges, and their position is adjustable for a perfect blackout fit. This is great for getting the right comfort and getting the complete light blocking needed.

The speakers are also very well-designed with a small and unintrusive profile that will work for whatever position you sleep in. The speakers and wire are barely noticeable during wear, and they slide easily back and forth with little tabs on the side of the mask for your preferred placement.

The head strap is breathable and will prevent overheating for warmer sleepers. The velcro closure provides secure adjustment without pulling hair or creating uncomfortable pressure points.

The Manta Sleep Mask uses a USB-C charger, which is convenient and most likely won’t add a new charger to your nightstand, as most devices are switching to USB-C chargers now.

Value

At $99, the Manta Sound Sleep Mask is a premium sleep accessory. This pricing places it significantly above basic sleep masks without audio or blackout.

However, with all of the convenience and sleep improvement features the Manta Sound offers, it can effectively replace multiple products at once—blackout sleep masks, sleep headphones, and even a white noise machine.

The 20-hour battery life also means it can go multiple full nights without a charge, and much longer if you use a sleep timer.

For frequent travelers, side sleepers, or anyone who regularly uses audio for sleep, the convenience and comfort benefits will make for an easy purchase. The Manta Sleep Sound is also by far the most comfortable sleep mask with audio we’ve tried to date.

Final Verdict

The Manta Sound Sleep Mask successfully solves a specific but significant problem: providing comfortable, quality audio for side sleepers while having a complete blackout. Manta Sleep creates virtually undetectable speakers in an already excellent sleep mask design that deserves recognition.

The Manta Sound Sleep Mask is something we would recommend for anyone who travels or flies often, doesn’t want to disturb their partner with nighttime music, or light sleepers who need both blackout and audio
