Memorial Day weekend, aka the start of summer travel season, is almost here. If you struggle to sleep on planes, consider grabbing a pair of sleep earbuds ahead of your trip(s). Mashable's own Miller Kern considers her Soundcore Sleep A20s the best travel accessory she owns because they're more compact than noise-cancelling headphones, and because they double as regular Bluetooth earbuds for listening to music mid-flight.
As of late April, the Soundcore Sleep A20s and the upgraded Soundcore Sleep A30 Specials are on sale on Amazon for up to 28% off. The A20s are marked down to just $129.99, which is a $50 savings and their lowest price since last summer. (They were $20 more expensive during Sleep Week in March, for reference.) The A30 Specials are discounted to $179.99, or $20 off, which is their best deal to date.

Both of these buds make appearances on our guide to the best sleep earbuds: The A20s are our budget pick, while the A30 Specials are our top pick overall if you can spend a little more. Both offer sleep data tracking, built-in alarms, and access to a library of slumber-forward soundscapes.
The cheaper A20s that Kern endorses offer up to 14 hours of battery life per charge and come with six swappable silicone tips. The pricier A30 Specials are... well, special because they come with upgraded features like active noise cancellation, adaptive snore masking, phone call support, and Calm app integration. (They're actually the only sleep earbuds available with ANC.)
The A30 Specials are also slimmer than the A20s and include some extra memory foam ear tips; lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard tested them for several months and thought they were the comfier option. Just note that their battery life is shorter at up to 10 hours per charge.
The A20s come in one "slumber beige" color, while the A30 Specials are available in lunar white and mist lilac on Amazon. Two additional colorways are available on Soundcore's website at the same price: moonlit white and mist green.
