Baseus Sleep SK1 - A Sleep Speaker That Plays Audio from Under Your Pillow, No Earbuds Needed
I like listening to music or podcasts before bed, but earbuds press on my ears and get uncomfortable. The Baseus Sleep SK1 caught my eye because it sits under your pillow and sends the sound upward, which tackles the earbud problem head-on.

It looks like a dumbbell, with round speakers at both ends joined in the middle.

You can also see a clock-like readout appearing on one side.
🔍 Why It Caught My Attention
A pillow instead of earbuds
Earbuds get pressed when you lie on your side, they fall out, and you have to remember to charge them. A speaker under the pillow removes all of that hassle in one go.
Quiet listening
It seems well suited to listening quietly when someone else is sleeping in the same room. If the sound is concentrated toward your head, that should be possible, but I'd have to hear it myself to know how much actually leaks out.
Design
The ivory tone and the simple pair of circles mean it won't look out of place in a bedroom. The brand logo is small, too.
🤔 What Gives Me Pause
Unconfirmed information
The price, battery, sound quality and release timing haven't been confirmed yet. I'll need to look again once the official specs come out.
Fit with your sleep setup
The sound may vary depending on pillow thickness and the mattress. A hard object under your neck might also bother you.

🎯 Final Verdict
I like how simply it solves the problem. It focuses on one purpose, listening without earbuds, so opinions will be divided, but I think it could be quite useful for the right person.
I think it's worth another look once the specs and price are announced.
