Anker , though, believes it might have the answer in the form of a
couple of new audio products announced at IFA 2026.
The first takes the form of two new bedside speakers: the SleepLab and the SleepLab Pro. The SleepLab plays music and sleep sounds with a soft
nightlight and alarm to set the mood for sleep, Anker says. The SleepLab Pro goes a step further by using a 60Hz radar for precise sleep sensing, tracking heart rate and breathing and analyzing the four stages of sleep. It then
plays tailored audio thats designed to help you drift off. If you prefer to use earbuds at night, Anker also has the Sleep 4 and Sleep 4 Pro earphones. Both of these devices feature noise cancelation, with the latter adding a few extra features for bedtime. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:
That includes what Anker describes as the worlds first
Track-Assess-Adjustment system. This tracks PPG, heart rate and heart rate variability while you sleep. It also uses Ankers proprietary BioSync system
to dynamically adjust your audio and help each user find their most effective sleep sounds. And theres a touchscreen charging case with which you can set
an alarm, play sounds and check your metrics, even if your phone isnt to
hand. Analysis: The SleepLab speaker appeals, but questions remain (Image credit: Anker) While Im usually able to sleep soundly at night, there are times when my sleep is either completely patchy or seems to take forever to actually begin. That can be incredibly frustrating, as I know the result is going to take its toll on me the next day.

While I wouldnt be able to comfortably sleep with Ankers Sleep buds in my ears, the SleepLab could be of more interest due to its unobtrusive nature.
Im skeptical about how useful the radar tracking and sleep analysis is (the former feels a bit overkill, while Ive got my Apple Watch for the latter),
but having a device that can play soothing sounds to help me fall asleep has me intrigued.
The main question I have with both of these devices is how they work once you actually drift off. Can they detect that youre no longer conscious and automatically stop the music? If not, Id be concerned about their batteries draining unnecessarily, especially when it comes to the Sleep 4 buds.
