It works, but you have to be on target.
First of all I did not take part in the alleged 'smart' functions of this mat.  Did not trust it wanting access to everything on my phone.<br />Second of all I tend to side sleep, which means my ears were directly on those things.<br /><br />The basic concept of the pillow mat - inlaid speakers to comfortably listen to stuff in bed - does work pretty well a small caveats.  The speakers are clearly earbud based because the sound comes from specific points and you have to just listen for the sweet spots and hold it as you settle down.  If your ears are a hair off you're getting nothing.  I would have preferred they put that surface area to more use than that.
