Sangean Pillow 3.5mm Aux Portable Speaker

• Sangean Pillow Speaker - Color White

The thicker the pillow speaker, the more it hurts my ears to lay on it. This Pillow Mate speaker is second best because of its thickness, but it seems of good quality. My wife cannot sleep if there is any noise or light in the room, and I cannot sleep without the television turned on. I tried many brands of pillow speakers, and there is only one that really works well, the C. Crane Pillow Speaker PS2. It comes with a soft cover on it, but it works best if you remove it from the cover as it makes the speaker much thinner instead of feeling like a lump under your pillow.

My only complaint is that the volume of this speaker is very low, even with my iPod volume control as high as I can set it.

I enjoyed this speaker .... until the connection wire became intermittent. It only works if I play with the wire.

It's cheap, but the Sangean Pillow Speaker is a fat rock under your pillow. I used it for about a year before the cord started shorting out. (This is typical of the lifespan of pillow speakers for me, so I don't count that as a negative.)

The real frustration was the 'dead spots'. Unless you place the speaker in just the right position, the pressure of your head on the speaker will mute the sound. I found myself sleeping with the little rock in my hand under the pillow so it would stay in the right position.

Another point worth mentioning, I had to cut the insulation around the headphone jack to get this speaker to work with my iphone 4 case.

Alternatives:

I have had better luck with the Pillowsonic Stereo Pillow Speaker, which is flatter, cushioned and has two speakers. Of course, it is also twice as expensive. I'm currently using the Relaxso Stereo ASLEEP Pillow Speaker which is slightly more expensive than the Pillowsonic, but is much more comfortable.

The one advantage that the Sangean has over the two listed above is that it has a very long cord. If you decide to try out the Relaxso or Pillowsonic, be sure to look into an extension cord.

I have used pillow speakers for years, but this is the best sounding one that I have ever purchased. It is clear and crisp and I don't have to have the volume up all the way like some others I have owned over the years.
