I could overlook the Nightbuds’ flaws if it weren’t for the price.
At $249.99, the Kokoon Nightbuds are too expensive for the overall experience to be this mixed. The Bose Sleepbuds II are equally as pricey and don’t do as much — but at least they deliver a polished product and do their main schtick extremely well.
I so wanted this Voltron of a device to deliver on all its promises. However, I ended up with a device with a great concept and middling execution at a price I don’t want to pay. Perhaps a future version of the Nightbuds will smooth out all the kinks, and I’ll get that mythical do-it-all sleep gadget. But, for now, the hunt continues.Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads.
To use the Kokoon Nightbuds, you’ll need to pair them with your smartphone. That means agreeing to its terms of use, privacy policy, and any other permissions you may grant., which includes your health dataYou must also choose to grant access to Bluetooth for the device to work. You can optionally choose to grant access to your phone’s voice assistant, as well as cellular data.
If you choose to play your own audio content, you also need to agree to the terms of the app you’re using to play that content, e.g., Spotify, YouTube, Calm, etc. Final Tally: Whatever your phone requires, two mandatory Kokoon policies and Bluetooth access. There are also two optional access requests and the terms and policies associated with other apps you may use to play content.
