"Former Bose Employees Revive Sleepbuds in Resurrection Effort"
Three ex-Bose employees have formed a startup called Ozlo and acquired the Sleepbuds trademark from Bose after the discontinuation of the product. The revamped Sleepbuds, which resemble their predecessors, now include biometric sensing technology to monitor sleep stages and have a more sophisticated charging case that analyzes sleep environment factors. The Sleepbuds v3 can play regular music in addition to masking sounds, and Ozlo plans to introduce personalized sleep therapy capabilities. The company has raised over $10 million in funding and will launch a Kickstarter campaign to bring the Sleepbuds back to consumers.
