A musical and comfortable way to help me fall asleep on some nights.
I recently received and unboxed the Watotgafer Music Sleep Mask. Overall, it's comfortable to wear with decent music/audio quality. I've used it many nights for over 2 weeks now thanks to my loud neighbors that hangout it their opened garage or driveway between midnight and 4 A.M.
In case it's helpful, below are the topics I cover in this post:

A Look at the Sleep Mask
The music sleep mask was packaged within the portable draw string travel bag. My velvet-feeling portable travel bad and music sleep mask was covered in lint, but easy to clean off with a lint roller or a brush of the hand.
The outer layer of the music sleep mask felt soft to the touch like nylon. The music sleep mask secures around the head with a simple Velcro strap making it easy to secure it over any size head, big or small.
The embroidered blue icon designs that represents a button's control are located on the center of the music sleep mask. I'm not worried about it fading or disappearing after extended use if I ever forget which button does what. Then again, I can't see the icon designs while wearing the music sleep mask, so it probably doesn't matter anyway.
The led indicator lights are right above the icon designs. A steady red led light indicates that the music sleep mask is charging. Flashing blue and red lights indicates that the music sleep mask is ready for Bluetooth connection or cannot find the device it should connect to.
Three blue led light flashes indicates that the power is on. A single red led light flash indicates that the power is off.
There's some type of memory sponge on the flip side that surrounds the indented areas for the eyes to rest within. It feels like a soft squishy or stress ball when you squeeze into it. It reforms its original shape quickly.
I'm not sure if the memory sponge is also used in the extra piece that surrounds the bridge of a nose. It's a soft padding that, when tucked under while the music face mask if wrapped around the head, ensures blackout and darkness.
On either side of the memory sponge are pockets or pouches the house the speakers and the micro-USB charging connector. These components can be repositioned for better comfort or removed completely to hand-wash the sleep mask.
The two speakers were wrapped in ear cushions. The parts with the pockets or pouches are already soft, so the ear cushions simply provide extra comfort during use. The speakers are easy to slide within the pockets or pouches once the music sleep mask on wrapped around the head.
Connecting Bluetooth
Despite the printed text on the back of the box, I didn't need to turn off all other Bluetooth devices before connecting to this music sleep mask. Of course, I didn't have other wireless headsets connected since I only wanted to use this one at any given time. You may consider disconnecting, or at least turn off, other headsets to allow for a smooth connection.
For the initial connection, I long pressed the center button until the lights above it repeatedly flashed between blue and red led lights.
Once the blue and red led lights flashed, I accessed the Bluetooth settings on my music device. In this case, I connected to my phone and ensured Bluetooth was on. I located and selected "BT-FAAH" from a short list of available devices and confirmed Bluetooth pairing from my phone. There was nothing extra I needed to do after this step.
From that point on, any time I wanted to use the music sleep mask, I only had to turn the music sleep mask on to auto-connect with my phone. I'd then turn it off to disconnect when it's not in use.
Button Controls
The printed instruction manual provided information about the use and care of the music sleep mask. However, the written text didn't provide clarity for using the controls and wasn't consistent with some of the text printed on the back of the package.
However, having used other wireless headsets in the past, learning to use the controls placed on the center of the music sleep mask was quick and easy for me. It helps that there are only three button controls: PLAY/PAUSE, MINUS (-), and PLUS (+).
Long press the PLAY/PAUSE (center) button to:
Turn the music sleep mask on or off
Reject an incoming phone call
Short press the PLAY/PAUSE (center) button to:
Play or pause/stop the music track
Answer an incoming phone call
Snooze an alarm
Long press the MINUS (-) button to:
Reduce the volume level
Short press the MINUS (-) button to:
Play the current music track from the beginning
Snooze an alarm
Double press the MINUS (-) button to:
Play the previous music track
Long press the PLUS (+) button to:
Increase the volume level
Short press the PLUS (+) button to:
Play the next music track
Snooze an alarm
A short confirmation message plays when I turn the music sleep mask on and off. The music sleep masks play the following message when turned on: "Power On. Connected." It plays the following message when turned off: "Power Off."
Three blue led light flashes indicates that the power is on. A single red led light flash indicates that the power is off. I only see these lights when I turn the music sleep mask on or off when I'm not wearing it. Otherwise, the confirmation message is helpful in determining when it's off, on, and connected.
Because of the plushness of the music sleep mask, it's hard to locate and feel the button controls on the front. The texture of the embroidered icon designs helps me identify the general location, but the buttons themselves are not aligned directly behind the embroidered icon designs. It's not uncommon for me to accidentally press a button I didn't mean to press.
Audio Quality
I didn't realize it until today as I'm writing this blog that the music sleep mask includes a built-in microphone. It mentioned it in the printed instruction manual, but that wasn't a feature that interested me when I first received this.
The microphone and speaker qualities are not the best out there, but they're better than complimentary or cheap headphones and earbuds. Music quality was decent. Don't expect to get any bass out of these, but bass is the last thing I want when I'm trying to fall asleep.
The music sleep mask, depending on the volume level it's set to, does a good job drowning out background noise. In my case, it does well at drowning out my neighbor's car bass and loud conversations on the street outside my bedroom window.
The microphone, according to the one person I tested the hands-free call with, isn't good quality. While the other person heard what I had to say, I was informed that my voice echoed significantly during the call. The other person's voice also echoed and sounded muddy from my end listening through the music sleep mask.
My Thoughts
Overall, I love this music sleep mask!
I was gifted this music sleep mask several weeks ago to help me sleep comfortably while listening to music at night. I live in a college town and in a neighborhood with many social students. My master bedroom faces the street which is apparently a social hub where my neighbors blast loud music, laugh, joke, and sometimes yell at one another.
This music sleep mask helps me drown out the noises outdoors when I struggle to fall or stay asleep each night. It's comfortable to wear. I'm a side sleeper and have no troubles falling asleep when wearing this.
The music sleep mask does a great job of blocking out light, but it's a bit big for my head. The padding that surrounds the bridge of my nose covers most of my nose, squeezing it slightly. The product listing for the Watotgafer Music Sleep Mask on Amazon.com states that there's "no pressure on the nose," but there's a little pressure on my nose when I use it.
Accessing the button controls was tricky initially, especially since I've never used a headset with the controls placed on the center of my forehead. It took a few tries before I had a better sense of where the buttons were. Even when I had a better sense of where the buttons were, I'd sometimes press the wrong button because they're lost in so much plushness.
I'll likely never use the hands-free calling feature and microphone ever again. It works as intended, but the microphone quality isn't the best. I can see myself rejecting a call with the music sleep mask since talking to someone is the last thing I want to do when I'm using to fall asleep at night.
What's Next?
I haven't done much crafting this new year, so I'll likely spend the weekend doing so. Hopefully, I'll have some completed arts and crafts to share with you before I get my hands on the newest Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff Pack.
