LG Electronics Unveils Wireless Earphone to Get People Into Deep Sleep

Are you struggling to get the required amount of sleep every night? 

A new wireless earphone launched by LG Electronics can help you sleep comfortably using brain wave technology.

Developed by LG’s independent company, SleepWave, the device called Breeze can analyse sleep data in real time and suggest better sleep patterns.

This lightweight earphone is intended to be worn while sleeping, as it plays brain wave-based synchronised sounds in varying frequencies, including static and dynamic binaural beats. It is said that the difference in sound frequencies induces brain waves that promote sleep or transition to deep sleep. The device also has 80 built-in sounds of brain wave-tuned sounds, lullabies, and sounds of nature that trigger an ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). It can even sync with users’ preferred music or videos from Youtube. 

Breeze renders the optimal frequency according to the user's current sleep state, which is detected using an EEG sensor. Through this, the earphones can also learn their sleep patterns. Moreover, it has an accompanying mobile app that collects and analyses a user's sleep data to suggest a sleep care routine. 

Additionally, Breeze can track a user's sleep and wake times, sleeping position, and tossing during sleep. It can also count the number of their steps during the day and use that data to get them into a specific sleep state at night. 

In the past quarter, LG Electronics tried out the technology with about 1,000 users. According to a press statement, it is now incorporating feedback from this trial before officially launching the product in the first half of the year in South Korea. 

Meanwhile, the company also recently signed a sleep research deal with South Korean startup Asleep. The parties have agreed to incorporate Asleep's sleep diagnosis technology into LG Electronics' home appliances.
