As a full-time student working part-time, sleep is of utmost importance. When I heard that the Amazfit Zenbuds were positioned not only as comfortable earbuds but as Smart Sleep Earbuds with a multitude of other functions, I was excited to try it out.
Firstly, the aesthetic of the Zenbuds casing was very unique as you open the casing with a sliding motion instead of the usual ‘cap-off’ method. The earbuds are also very small that fit nicely into my ears.
Before I sleep every night, I like to wind down in bed and chill while watching videos, and sometimes meditate. Plugging in the Zenbuds, they fit very comfortably in my ears and were lightweight. One problem I face almost every night is that my housemates like to game late into the night, and their gaming sounds distract me from having a peaceful sleep I need for an early day. With these earbuds, they isolate me from the external noises, and I could have better quality sleep and relax better. I feel that these earbuds help us co-exist more harmoniously!
In addition, I can play soothing music to sleep, where it plays sleep-inducing sounds, imitating different scenarios and natural environments, to help me release tension and drift off to better a sleep. After I fall asleep, the earbuds will automatically pause playing, allowing me to sleep soundly through the night. I feel like this is a very unique feature and prevents the batteries from getting drained throughout the night.
I have a roommate with a different schedule as me, hence there are certain days where we will wake up at different timings. By plugging in these Zenbuds the night before, it is able to play an alarm that only I can hear, without bothering her. I found this function to be very useful. After I download the Amazfit app, i can also monitor my sleep positions and heart rates, providing me with a better sleep quality report and suggestions for better sleep, helping me form healthy habits.
The next day when I woke up, I felt really relaxed. At school when I am studying, I am able to sync it with my phone to set a Tomato timer, which is a flexible and easy to use online Pomodoro Technique Timer. Pomodoro is a time management technique that increases productivity while studying. I was able to focus more effectively and focus on my work, without having to keep checking my phone for the time. This relieves my daily stress and pressure.
These Amazfit Zenbuds provide up to 12 hours of battery life, enabling them to last through the night. With the charging case, I get another 56 hours of charge. With my busy schedule, I might forget to charge my earbuds but with this long battery life, this would be the least of my worries.
The Zenbuds have increased the quality of my sleep and improved my day-to-day life, decreasing my daily stress and pressure. It reduced my insomnia and enabled me to pursue a healthier lifestyle!
Amazfit Zenbuds are currently available online and offline, at an RRP of S$239 here.
