I agree, it's a yes or no answer that's required here. Perhaps due to the precise technical nature of the question Bose Support could escalate this to someone in Engineering to settle this once and for all? In the meantime anyone reading this who owns a 'EMF meter' (search at your favourite online store) could probably also run their own test.

Unfortunately there has been no official response from Bose on this issue. This is disappointing as it's clearly a concern for many people judging from my own research into the matter and the feedback from others on this forum. Perhaps Bose could definitively answer the question: Once the Sleep Buds are in Phone Free Mode do they emit any radiation from the Sleep Buds themselves? Best, Nick

Make sure in the app menu that your version is listed as 1.7.0 or above, otherwise the feature won't be present.

The docs are in tn the app not the manual. In the app, click the menu icon -> Product Support, look for the items pertaining to Phone-Free Mode at the bottom of the list.

I am a huge fan of Bose Noise Cancelling headphones, the technology is best in class. The sleepbuds are also a revolutionary product, but sometimes the external noises you are trying to mask are so loud that you need to set the sleepbuds to quite a high volume level that in turn disrupts sleep. It would seem a natural evolution for the next version of sleepbuds to incorporate Bose Noise Cancelling technology in addition to variable noise masking. I say 'in addition', as noise cancelling doesn't work well against all noises, such as human voices, but it does completely cancel out unwanted noise such as overhead aircraft. Any chance you could forward this to the product dev team?

You are asking for streaming, it's very battery intensive and there's no way they'd get the sleepbuds to be as small as they are with the battery size required for streaming. The sleepbuds are a well thought out and engineered product, the preset sounds are choosen for their noise masking qualities.

I held off on my purchase of SleepBuds until Phone-Free mode was released, I really didn't like the idea of have a couple of bluetooth transceivers centimeters from my brain night after night; even if they are Class 3 low power. I know from this and other forums I am not alone in this reservation. Initially in trying Phone-Free mode I observed that it was possible to disablePhone-Free mode from the app and came to the conclusion that the bluetooth was still activated and that the Sleepbuds were not for me! However, I now notice that the connection with the phone discontinues after about 10mins. Can Bose Support verify that bluetooth is in fact off at this stage? I'm thoroughly impressed by all other aspects of the sleepbuds, what a great product.

The new Phone-Free mode is the answer to your prayers, you preset everything and the buds just start playing when removed from the case.
