Anker's SleepLab Pro tracks your sleep with radar — no wearable required
Anker has announced the Soundcore SleepLab Pro at IFA 2026, a bedside speaker that monitors your sleep using a built-in 60GHz radar chip — no smartwatch, ring, or earbuds needed. The device tracks breathing rate, pulse, and four distinct sleep stages throughout the night. Anker says none of the core monitoring features sit behind a paywall, which separates it from most sleep-tech subscriptions on the market.
The hardware
The SleepLab Pro doubles as a sound machine and ambient light, playing one of 180-plus built-in sounds and adjusting lighting to help you wind down. A 28-day adaptive program learns which combinations of sound and light help you fall asleep faster, then locks those settings in. One headline claim: the radar can distinguish between two people sharing a bed, tracking only the designated user's sleep data. That dual-user isolation relies on a signal-disambiguation approach confirmed by patent filings, though no independent accuracy tests have been published yet.

Anker has not disclosed the speaker specs, audio output, or whether the unit runs on mains power or a battery. Those details matter for a device sitting on a nightstand all night.
Price and availability
Reservation pricing puts the base SleepLab at around $170 and the Pro at around $270 after a $30 early-bird discount, per Digital Trends. You can lock in that price with a $1 deposit on the Soundcore official reserve page. A full launch is planned for end of 2026; UK pricing has not been confirmed separately.
The competition
The Amazon Halo Rise uses the same 60GHz radar approach for sleep tracking and sits in a similar price bracket. Anker's pitch is the absence of subscription fees and the dual-sleeper isolation feature. What remains unclear is how the SleepLab Pro handles data storage — Anker says the core features don't require cloud access, but the company has not published a detailed data-retention policy. For a device that monitors you every night, that transparency gap is worth watching before launch.
