"The HoomPlay app’s offerings (which the company says are updated regularly) are a nice perk. The tracks range from 25 to 60 minutes and can loop to play all night. Should you choose not to use the app, the HoomBand headphones also stream audio via Bluetooth."

Who is HoomBand Ultimate for?
For those who want to transform their bedtime ritual into a true sensory experience.
HoomBand Ultimate helps to fall asleep naturally by acting on the two key levers of sleep: light and sound.
people sensitive to light (insomnia, early awakenings, light sleep);
sleepers subject to stress, mental agitation, or intrusive thoughts;
people with irregular schedules or exposed to screens late at night;
travelers or those living in a noisy environment;
children and teenagers seeking a calming ritual before sleep.
HoomBand Ultimate is not just an audio mask: it is a gateway to inner calm, an experience that reconnects the body, breathing, and imagination.
How does it work
Put on the mask, adjust the velcro, and choose a story, a meditation, or a relaxing sound.
The 4 mm flat earphones, integrated into the foam of the headband, deliver immersive 3D sound without pressure, even on the side.
The 100% blackout mask blocks all light to create optimal conditions for falling asleep.
The ergonomic foam contours to the face without applying pressure on the eyes.
At the end of the audio, HoomBand turns off automatically: no screen, no handling.
Bluetooth is only used to start playback and can be turned off to sleep without waves.
The nylon-coated magnetic charging cable (Magsafe type) simplifies daily use.
As with the original HoomBand, you can also listen to your own content: Spotify, YouTube, Deezer, podcasts, etc.
HoomBand Ultimate remains a versatile audio headset, not a closed system.
The observed benefits
Accelerated falling asleep, deeper sleep, and more peaceful awakenings.
Total light blocking to naturally stimulate melatonin secretion.
Soothing ritual that reduces stress and promotes relaxation before bedtime.
A complete sensory experience that combines silence, darkness, and sound, three essential pillars of restorative sleep.
A French innovation inspired by science
More than 200 hours of original audios, spread over several dozen episodes written, composed, and mixed by screenwriters, musicians, sound engineers, and sleep therapists.
Each story is an immersive experience where the science of sleep meets narrative and sound art.
At LIVLAB, we were the first to bring together two worlds:
scientific relaxation (hypnosis, heart coherence, guided meditation, body scan)
and the imagination of cinema (science fiction, immersive documentary, sensory adventure).
Each audio is a custom creation, recorded in our studios, with care worthy of a film soundtrack.
No content is purchased or generated: everything is entirely produced by our teams.
Each episode represents a work of sound craftsmanship, costing up to €2,500 and involving several weeks of writing, composing, and mixing.
Musicians and sound engineers design landscapes from real natural sounds (rain, wind, sea, fire, forests) and spatialized textures associated with precise binaural frequencies.
Result: you are not just listening to a simple audio — you are traveling in a sound world.
An experience between audio film and scientific ritual, inspired by more than 13,000 studies on breathing, heart coherence, meditation, and hypnosis.
What the experts say about it
Designed with sleep doctors, sophrologists, and sound engineers, HoomBand Ultimate is recognized as a tool for relaxation and sleep hygiene.
"This unprecedented format mixes the effectiveness of hypnosis and the power of imagination. Relaxation techniques are integrated into the narration: we no longer try to fall asleep, we surrender to the journey."
— Thibault Gouttier, Hypnotherapist and project member
Our stories subtly incorporate relaxation techniques recognized by science:
Body scan:
Relaxes the body by successively focusing attention on each part, leading to deep physical relaxation.
Tree meditation:
Grounds the body and mind, helps to refocus and soothe intrusive thoughts.
Visualization:
Activates the power of imagination by connecting the conscious and unconscious mind to establish inner calm.
VAKOG:
Stimulates the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) to divert the mind and promote self-presence.
Hypnotic suggestion:
Uses positive and soothing keywords to induce relaxation and facilitate falling asleep.
Jacobson method:
Alternates muscle contraction and relaxation to soothe the body and release tension.
ASMR:
Exploits soft and precise sounds to reduce stress, lower cortisol, and promote serotonin secretion.
Binaural frequencies:
Harmonize the hem
The story behind the product
It all started with a simple observation: commercial headphones are too bulky, in-ear earphones are painful, and meditation apps are often superficial.
Many users were asking us for an audio solution truly designed for sleep.
So we brought together hypnotherapists, sophrologists, musicians, and film screenwriters to create a new format: a complete sensory experience that combines absolute comfort, total darkness, and custom sound.
The result of several years of development, HoomBand Ultimate was born: an immersive mask that silences the outside world to better awaken the inner imagination.
An object of calm, softness, and science — at the crossroads of the laboratory and cinema.

"Deep down, the recordings we created naturally reactivate the sleep mechanisms that we all possess. In form, it is unprecedented! For the first time, hypnosis sessions become metaphorical stories in which you are the protagonist. The result is striking."

Dr Sarah Bleichner-Perez
Head of the nuclear medicine department at CH René DUBOS. Medical hypnoanalgesia
" The mandatory one-hour muscle rest phase for FDG PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography) being very often anxiety-inducing, we had the idea to offer our patients one of those famous small boxes dedicated to relaxation sold commercially. We chose a model without time limitation: HoomBook by Livlab broadcasts either sound journeys or musical atmospheres particularly suited for relaxation. The infinite mode allows continuing the stories with a sound atmosphere and thus to continue until the next stage of their care... A real success, especially with our patients who are used to coming!"

"It's a really soft material. It's a total blackout, but also, if you look here and here, you'll see that these are soft headphones. You can adjust them to your ear. So when you fully put this on, you sync it up. Hoom has an app and has different sleep stories for you."
« It's a blue light, but not one of the blue lights that keeps you up. It's just a very calming blue light. And you work your breathing with the light. Also, if somebody else is in the room sleeping, what I love is that this makes no noise. It's kind of training you to sleep.»
I have slipped into unconsciousness before the cycle is over. The next night, I am awake to see the light turn off, but fall asleep shortly afterward.
The breathing exercises were pleasant and calming. Still, I often don't have much decompression time before hitting the hay, so it was nice to concentrate on something other than my own mile-a-minute thoughts. Meditative indeed!

"Today, we hear a lot about high-tech, connected products. What we wanted was precisely a disconnected product. To fall asleep, you need to be disconnected."
And that’s where the magic of Hoomkid comes in! You can start using it with a child from the age of 3. At this age, they can identify and express which situation triggers which emotion. It’s therefore the ideal time to teach them how to approach their emotions in a gentle and playful way.
「質の良い睡眠の鍵は、実は呼吸のリズムにあった。まずは自然な眠りにつくための最適な呼吸法を体に覚えさせる光のメトロノーム「Dodow」を紹介したい。ゆっくりと点滅するブルーLEDのリズムに合わせ呼吸を矯正することで、眠りにつく最適なリズムを体に覚えさせることができる。起動時間は8分間と20分間の2段階で、使用後は自動的にスイッチが切れる仕組みとなっている。 」

"Véronique had big problems falling asleep, but for 3 months it seems that she has found the solution, thanks to her little device: Dodow; she manages to regulate her sleep. It would be enough to synchronize her breathing to fall asleep more easily!"
Few situations are as frustrating as a sleepless night. But thanks to this innovative metronome, you can fall asleep naturally without the need for medication.
"It's a little favorite, Dodow is not a connected device, you just have to place it like that on its case and on top of that it's a French creation! It also works for children and for anyone."
Dr. Marcel Garrigou-Grandchamp, a general practitioner in Lyon, has already recommended Dodow to a handful of patients. "They often request hypnotics. This device seemed to me to be an interesting alternative and I have had good feedback."
« Ultra-efficace, notamment chez les enfants, Dodow promet un temps d’endormissement bien plus court au bout de quinze jours de pratique quotidienne. »
It’s ideal for those who stay awake in the middle of the night, pregnant women who can’t sleep, people who live in noisy places or struggle with worries, stress, or even chronic insomnia. The most original gift for falling asleep.

"The creators of this small device aim to 'awaken the sleep' of people suffering from occasional or chronic falling asleep disorders, using a method inspired by the breathing practices of meditation, yoga, and sophrology."
It’s easy to use, and the “storyteller” can be used almost independently. The child first chooses a mode: “calm,” with relaxing activities, or “wake-up,” which is more energizing. Finally, audio mode lets them choose from 54 stories, 24 meditations, 6 yoga poses, 12 musical soundscapes…
「気分が落ち着かなくて、寝付けないことはありませんか? 快適な睡眠を取るためには、呼吸速度が大切だそうです。しかし、自分でコントロールするのは簡単ではありません…。 そんな悩みを解決するのが光のメトロノーム「Dodow」。 気分が落ち着かなくて、寝付けないことはありませんか? 快適な睡眠を取るためには、呼吸速度が大切だそうです。しかし、自分でコントロールするのは簡単ではありません…。」
「仕事で多忙な毎日を送っていてなかなか寝付けない人、私のように子育て中でなかなか眠りにつけない人、ストレスや慢性不眠症、妊娠による不眠など、眠れずに困っているすべての人の救世主といえる。使い方は簡単。「Dodow」を手の届くところに置き、天井に映し出されたやわらかな青い光を眺める。光が明るくなったら息を吸い、暗くなったら息を吐くことを繰り返すだけ。」
"Extra-flat earphones that are integrated so you can sleep even on your side while still having them in your ears. So you can either play music, of course, to fall asleep, but you also have hypnosis sessions, guided meditation, and ASMR."
Il s'agit d'un bandeau doté de deux écouteurs et relié à son smartphone. L'intérêt, outre un confort qui n'a rien à voir avec les oreillettes ou les écouteurs classiques, est d'offrir une vaste bibliothèque de programmes de relaxation ou de méditation, de 20 à 60 minutes, thématisés et accessibles
However, it is a truly valuable tool to use when talking with your child and opening up a dialogue when you feel at a loss in the face of your child’s emotions. I warmly invite you to try the content for yourself.
Pierre, our co-founder, answers Stéphane Soumier's questions to introduce Dodow on the Hello Startups set, which welcomes "the entrepreneurs who are changing the world and who will help you sleep with Dodow, the tool to regain control of your sleep!"
"Melatonin is stimulated again, the brain is in alpha mode (characterized by low-frequency brain waves) and various thoughts detach. In eight minutes, Livlab promises that the brain will have disengaged, as if caught by sleep."
"Finally, the release or the putting to sleep. The listener, after several phases where they have been solicited with many stimuli, must let go. This time, the goal is to soothe them and lead them towards falling asleep. The story ends, you are supposed to, if not already done, be asleep."
"We need to find a physical product to help people do it more simply because it took me 6 months and we needed to find a product to help people do it in 8 minutes. Dodow is this little object that you will place on your nightstand."
"HoomKid is a tool that I find fabulous because it is the first counter that talks about emotion. And in fact, inside each story, there is a key to personal development or a key to help the child experience an emotion."
「世界中で33万人以上の不眠症の悩みを解決した光のメトロノームが、満を持して日本で発売に! 眠るために必要な呼吸に着目し、Dodowから発せられる優しい青の光に合わせ、明るくなるときに息を吸い、光が弱まったときに息を吐く、というリズムが脳を休ませ、なにもしていないときよりも平均2.5倍の速度で入眠できることが確認されているそう。」
"In fact, it works like a light metronome. It normally projects a bluish halo on the ceiling that grows and shrinks at a regular pace. The idea, actually, is to align your breathing with this light that pulses very gently."
"Alternative solutions exist: this is what the brand Livlab offers with its HoomBand and its Dodow system. These solutions have already won over more than one million people worldwide, and one of them may, perhaps, interest you and help you sleep better."
"Dodow and Hoom market HOOMBAND, an audio headband designed by insomniacs. It is complemented by hypnotic stories to fall asleep available on the Hoom application."
"But my problem would rather be staying awake. My wife, the blue, it inspires her! When I think about everything that would have changed in my life if Dodow hadn't pushed my wife into the arms of Morphée."

FAQs
Is the HoomBand compatible with all mobile phones?
The built-in earphones in HoomBand are compatible with any mobile phone that has Bluetooth 5.0 communication.
The HoomBand app is available on:
Android versions higher than version 7,
iOS versions higher than version 10+ (iPhone 5S).
The full charging time of the HoomBand is about 2 hours for a battery life of 8 hours (playback at a moderately high volume). To be sure to have battery, charge it in the morning ;)
Once the story is finished and I have fallen asleep, what happens next?
You have the option to schedule a story or a meditation only. In this case, the application closes automatically once it is finished. You also have the option to schedule a loop of white noise or soothing sounds to accompany you throughout your night!
The Bluetooth module stops working after 10 minutes of inactivity.
What exactly does the Livlab application contain?
The Livlab application provides access to a unique format, much richer than simple "hypnotic stories" or "rain sounds." Each audio is an original creation, designed as a true immersive sound production combining script, voice, music, and sleep science. We have brought together screenwriters from cinema, musicians, sound engineers, and sleep therapists (hypnotherapists, sophrologists, psychologists) to imagine an unprecedented format: long, captivating, and soothing stories, where relaxation techniques (heart coherence, hypnosis, body scan, guided meditation) are integrated into the narration without ever breaking the listening pleasure. Each episode is custom-produced in our studios, with the quality of a film soundtrack. The average creation cost exceeds €2,500 per audio, which guarantees exceptional writing, mixing, and immersion quality. The application currently offers more than 100 audios and content stories available in French and English. You can customize your evening session according to your desires: duration, atmosphere, type of story, or background sound (sea, wind, forest, rain…).
And what if the HoomBand does not suit me?
You can calmly try your HoomBand for 100 nights after your purchase date. If it does not give you complete satisfaction, you can send it back to us and we will fully refund you (excluding return shipping costs).
Can my children use my HoomBand?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to use HoomBand with children, provided attention is paid to the listening duration and volume level. Their hearing being more sensitive, it is recommended to limit prolonged exposure and use the lowest possible volume. That said, for the youngest, we have created a product specially designed for them: HoomKid. This audio storyteller offers soothing and educational stories, accompanied by headphones limited in decibel level, perfectly suited for young ears. HoomKid is therefore the ideal alternative to introduce children to the benefits of sound, relaxation, and imagination, in complete safety.
How do I charge my HoomBand?
When the battery is low, use the supplied magnetic USB cable to recharge your Hoomband. Connect it to a USB power source such as a computer or a maximum 10 W charger for safe and efficient charging.
What is the difference between HoomBand and HoomBand Ultimate?
Both products have the same core: an ultra-comfortable Bluetooth audio headband and an app with more than 200 hours of stories, meditations, and sounds created by sleep experts. The difference lies in the form and use. 👉 HoomBand (classic headband) This is the lightest version, designed to be worn on the forehead or around the head. Ideal for those who sleep on their side or who like to listen to a story before falling asleep without covering their eyes. The fabric is thin, breathable, and soft, perfect for daily use, even in summer. 👉 HoomBand Ultimate (100% light-blocking audio mask) This is the premium version, designed for those who want to completely isolate themselves from the outside world. The mask blocks all light, provides optimal eye comfort, and promotes the natural secretion of melatonin. It is ideal for daytime naps, travel, people sensitive to light, or simply those who want total immersion in calm and darkness.
