Manta Sleep recently sent me a complimentary SOUND v2 sleep mask to try out and report back to you. It’s a soft and good looking mask with C-shaped eye cups that allow you to block out light 100%. It’s fully adjustable so that the thin Bluetooth® speakers can be adjusted until they’re right over your ears, and the strap is ventilated for airflow.
