Active Noise-Cancelling Earplugs

Whilst continuing my search for ways to decrease the noise I hear in today's (selfish) society, I came across QuietOn active noise-cancelling earplugs (https://quieton.com/). Does anyone on the forum own a pair? If so, please post a review in reply to this posting.

I know Bose are working on a pair of 'sleepbuds' (https://www.bose.com/en_us/better_with_bose/better_sleep.html) which take a different approach to QuietOn and are aimed at giving users better sleep. Unfortunately, the 'sleepbuds' will not be available until later this year.

I have a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones for indoor use and a set of 3M Peltor X5A ear defenders for general use, however, I cannot easily sleep in either.

I like active noise-cancelling because it produces a quieter environment than passive options, although I am also looking at a passive options (e.g. wax earplugs) for general use and for sleeping.

Any related comments will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  • Sometimes "quality" means overpriced! If it's something that you are going to use everyday you pretty much want it to be durable but not too pricey to lose or break. I collect watches but 9 times out of 10 I wear a cheap Timex Expedition or Citizen. They work as well as anything else and I wont be as bothered if they break because of the price and quantity produced. I treat the other stuff as a collection or investments. With something I'd be battering everyday I go for function and affordability over form and price. I'm a little OCD, so yeah I agree. Peace of mind is also part of the package!
