I am a super light sleeper, and any and every little noise or change in light will wake me up numerous times a night. I have only been using this mask for about a week, but I have slept better in this week than I have in a very long time. The mask is soft and fits very well without being too tight or too loose. The speakers are little disks inside the band and are slim enough for me to sleep on my side without any annoying pressure or discomfort. The speaker volume is perfect - can be loud enough to drown out the tv my husband falls asleep to, and can be quiet enough to allow for hearing room noise in case of emergency (which is something I fear on nights he works out of town and I am alone). There is a small flap around the nose area that "seals" the light out, but doesn't add pressure to the bridge of your nose - and the part that goes over your eyes is hollow so your eyelids don't feel annoying pressure from the mask either. It's just a good design, and has made such a tremendous difference on my quality of sleep. My husband told me to get a couple more, just in case, cause this one has made such an impact and I wouldn't want to be without it for any reason. The charging cable is easily accessible, but then hides well in the mask when in use - I plug it in when I wake up, and the speakers run all night without interruption or loss of charge. Overall I am super pleased, and hope that this masks lasts a long time. Worth every penny so far!UPDATE: I have been using this mask every night since I got it last year. And I still sleep better with it than I ever did before. I have forgotten it on trips once or twice, and slept so poorly I couldn't wait to get my mask back. My husband even raved to my brother in law telling him that this mask is a positive for him too - now he can watch tv or have a light on and it doesn't bother me one bit - where as before if there were ANY lights on in the house that I could see they would keep me awake. A month or so ago I started to notice the wires pulling away from the plug, and was having a hard time keeping the charging cords connected - I contacted the company and they were incredibly accommodating and sent me a brand new replacement mask free of charge that I got within a couple of days. I had already bought a new one, but will gladly appreciate having 2 now! I tell all of my friends and coworkers about this mask, and have heard so much good feedback from them as well. This is a great product, and fantastic customer service!! If you have a hard time sleeping - get yourself one of these - you won't be sorry!
