Anker SleepLab Pro Tracks Sleep Without a Wearable Device
Anker unveiled the SleepLab and SleepLab Pro desktop sleep speakers at IFA 2026. The main innovation in the SleepLab Pro is a 60 GHz radar that tracks sleep without requiring a wearable device. The device is placed beside the bed and collects information about the user’s condition throughout the night.
The SleepLab Pro uses radar to detect tiny movements of the chest and body. The collected data is used to analyze heart rate, breathing rate and the four stages of sleep. Anker says the system can track only the primary user when a second person is in the same bed. However, it is not yet clear how accurately it will make this distinction under real-world conditions. The device coordinates soothing sounds, binaural beats and gradually changing light with sleep-tracking data. Over about a month, the system determines which combination of sound and light provides better rest. Successful settings are reused on subsequent nights, while personalized audio attempts to make it easier to fall asleep. The SleepLab Pro operates with one button, does not depend on a phone and does not require a paid subscription. It can also play any audio via Bluetooth. The standard SleepLab model offers music, sleep sounds, a soft night-light and an alarm clock without radar tracking. It has not yet been disclosed whether the devices can run on batteries or what specifications their speaker components have.
Information about pricing and the release date varies. One reservation page lists the SleepLab Pro with radar at $269.99 (approximately 460 manats) and the version without radar at $169.99 (approximately 290 manats). Reserving the device requires a payment of $1 (approximately 2 manats). Other presentation materials say the final retail price has not been determined. One statement says the devices will go on sale by the end of 2026, while another does not provide an exact date.
Anker also showcased its Sleep 4 and Sleep 4 Pro earbuds for nighttime use at the exhibition. Both models feature active noise cancellation, while the Pro version tracks PPG, heart rate and heart rate variability. Based on these metrics, the BioSync system dynamically adjusts the audio being played to select sleep sounds that are better suited to the user. The company presents it as the first system to combine tracking, assessment and adjustment. The Sleep 4 Pro’s charging case has a touchscreen that allows users to set an alarm, choose sounds and view metrics without a phone. The Sleep 4 will go on sale in October 2026, followed by the Sleep 4 Pro in November. Pricing for the earbuds has not been announced. It is also not yet known whether the speaker and earbuds automatically stop the audio after the user falls asleep.
