Complete blackout even in the sun, perfect for RV co-pilots and navigators.
Words by Perry Mack
Travelers everywhere appreciate accessories that will help them relax and rest in planes, trains, automobiles, and RVs. Manta has designed an extremely comfortable eye mask that eliminates light and incorporates Bluetooth speakers. The speakers are unlike typical earbuds in that they are razor thin and built into the band of the eye mask, so nothing gets stuck in your ears. This feature along with C-shaped eye cups allows side-sleepers to wear the mask while listening to relaxing sounds or music from their phone’s playlist. The speakers don’t produce audiophile quality sound, but they are perfect for the relaxing white noise of ocean surf, gentle rain, or a crackling campfire on the beach.

The strap is constructed of a ventilated mesh with adjustable Velcro for a comfortable fit. Within the strap, the speakers easily slide in a soft track to fit gently over your ears, while the eye cups allow for a snug fit without pressure to eyelids and lashes and provide 100% darkness. Tactile controls on the front allow you to power up/down and adjust volume without having to remove the mask.
The fit is comfortable for relaxing, sleeping or meditating on your back or seated, leaving only stomach sleepers without their sound benefits. You’ll also find a mesh travel bag, overhead strap, and USB-C charge cable in the box, which charges for a battery life of over 20 hours.

Adjust the razor thin speakers to find your perfect location.
We’ve been using them for over a month, and they have become an essential nightstand accessory that accompany us on all our travels.
There are also tempting accessories, which we haven’t tried yet, including Manta COOL eyecups, which are freezable eye cups to sooth tired eyes, and AROMA dots for an aromatherapy experience while you rest. If you don't want the Sound feature, check out Manta Sleep Mask (without sound) Manta Cool Mask, or Manta Steam Mask.
Manta also produces six other sleep-inducing masks with and without sound, and accessories, which can be explored at mantasleep.com.
