Why Drift exists

Earbuds hurt.
Phone speakers wake the house.

If you fall asleep to shows, sleep sounds or voice notes, you know the trade-off: earbuds dig into your ears every time you roll over, and your phone's speaker is a broadcast to whoever shares your room.

The X3 Pro ends the trade-off. It's a slim, fabric-wrapped speaker tuned for close-range, low-volume listening through your pillow — so the sound reaches you and stops there.

  • Sleep on your side, back or stomach — nothing in your ears
  • Your partner sleeps through the whole season finale
  • No pressure marks, no tangled cables, no lost earbuds in the sheets

Built for bedtime

Every detail tuned for sleep

Not a loud speaker made quiet — a speaker engineered from scratch for the space between your pillow and your ear.

Whisper-calibrated volume

An 85 dB max SPL ceiling and clean Class-D amp deliver soft, clear audio at pillow distance — never loud enough to fill the room.

1.2 cm slim — truly under-pillow

Thinner than two stacked coins. Slide it under any pillow and you won't feel a bump, whichever way you sleep.

All-night battery

The 800 mAh cell runs a full night of sleep-volume listening, and recharges in just 2.5 hours over USB-C.

Soft linen finish

A breathable linen-fabric face and smooth ABS shell feel like bedding, not electronics — gentle against sheets and skin.

Pairs with everything

Bluetooth connects to your phone, tablet or laptop in seconds. Netflix, TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, audiobooks — if it plays, it works.

White noise, built in

No phone needed — the X3 Pro carries its own white noise and sleep sounds to mask traffic, snoring and racing thoughts until morning.

Effortless by design

Better sleep in three steps

1

Pair it

Hold the power button and connect over Bluetooth — one tap on your phone, tablet or laptop. It remembers your device for next time.

2

Slip it under

Slide the X3 Pro under your pillow, fabric side up. At 1.2 cm thin, it disappears completely — you'll never feel it's there.

3

Press play & drift off

Start your show, playlist or sleep sounds and set the volume to a whisper. The sound travels softly through the pillow, just to you.

Hear it for yourself

Press play. Drift away.

The X3 Pro carries its own library of built-in sleep sounds — no phone required. Here's a live taste, generated right in your browser.

Best with your volume low — just like bedtime.

"I've fallen asleep to series my whole life and my husband has hated it my whole marriage. This solved a ten-year argument for R499. I can hear everything perfectly and he hears literally nothing."

"As a side sleeper, earbuds were torture. You genuinely cannot feel this thing under the pillow. The sound is soft but surprisingly clear — dialogue on Netflix is easy to follow."

"Bought it for rain sounds and podcasts. Battery easily lasts the night, and it's charged again by the time I've had breakfast. The pink one is so pretty it feels like part of the bedding."

"My teenage daughter watches TikTok in bed and the tinny phone speaker was driving us mad through the wall. Got her one of these — house is silent, she's asleep earlier. Ten out of ten."

"Great for speech and calm music. Don't expect bass for movies — that's not what it's for. For falling asleep to interviews and audiobooks it's honestly perfect."

"We got the Couple's Pair. I fall asleep to true crime, he falls asleep to cricket highlights, and neither of us hears the other's. Should have existed years ago."

Questions, answered

Everything you're wondering

Can I really hear it through my pillow?+
Yes — clearly. Sound travels well through pillow fill at close range, and the X3 Pro's 40 mm driver is tuned for exactly that distance. Dialogue, podcasts and music come through soft but distinct, like someone whispering just for you.
Will it wake my partner?+
At sleep volume, the sound is designed to reach the person on the pillow and fade fast beyond it. Your partner on the other side of the bed will hear at most a faint murmur — most hear nothing at all. It's dramatically quieter than a phone speaker on the nightstand.
How long does the battery last?+
At typical sleep-listening volume, the 800 mAh battery comfortably covers a full night. Charging back to 100% takes about 2.5 hours over the included USB-C cable — plug it in with your morning coffee and it's ready by tonight. You can also use it while charging.
Does it work with Netflix, TikTok and YouTube?+
Yes. The X3 Pro connects over standard Bluetooth, so it plays audio from any app on your phone, tablet or laptop — Netflix, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, Spotify, Audible, white-noise apps, anything.
Won't I feel it under my pillow?+
At just 1.2 cm thin with soft rounded edges and a fabric face, it disappears under a standard pillow. Side, back and stomach sleepers all report they can't feel it once it's in place.
Is it safe to sleep on?+
Yes. It runs cool at low power (3 W), has no exposed metal, and the lithium-polymer battery is protected against overcharge. It's designed to spend the night under a pillow — that's its whole job.
How loud does it go?+
Its ceiling is a gentle 85 dB SPL at the speaker — by design. This isn't a party speaker; it's tuned for the 10 cm between your pillow and your ear. If you want to rattle windows, this isn't your product. If you want to fall asleep peacefully, it is.
Do I need my phone for white noise?+
No. The X3 Pro has its own built-in white noise and sleep-sound modes — cycle through them with the buttons on the speaker. Pair your phone only when you want Netflix, TikTok, music or podcasts.
What about shipping and returns?+
Free tracked shipping anywhere in South Africa, dispatched within 24 hours on business days — most orders arrive in 2–4 working days. You're covered by the 30-night sleep trial (full refund) and a 1-year warranty.
