Have you checked these out, are you using them under headphones? How you getting on with them?
I have been considering these as I seen posts on Instagram
And considering the price. It's a no brainer
I’m a classical music composer, and these are quite amazing when it comes to hearing detail in orchestration. I’ve also experienced big orchestral works such as Schoenberg’s Gurre-lieder and Mahler’s 8th Symphony with them and the difference is just insane!!! So far, I’m loving them.
Yes, I have them for few weeks and I love them. I barely notice them, very comfortable
Edit: lol, missed the question.
Yes, playing video games, with good headphones. Loud gun shots are now much better.
Only tried on my AKG Q701 headphones through a Dragonfly Black DAC, and seriously disappointed so far, but need to test on my hi-fi. Even after hours of having these things in, music lost harmonic richness, some instruments actively became harder to pick out and lost a lot of attack and character, and I even got a weird sense of compression: was listening to Peg by Steely Dan and the chorus first sounded like it was opening up and then suddenly it felt reined in and lifeless. Felt rather disturbing.
I do have VERY tight ear canals, so I wonder if my ears actually generate less distortion than average somehow... Will try my Grado SR325e's and hi-fi for another test of these things. For non-music usage I love them, though. Voices in a room are more distinct and extraneous noise from the likes of screaming kids outside is nicely attenuated. Hopefully I will get better luck on speakers, but I live in a flat where music can be heard easily by other neighbours, so I favour cans. I could see these being great for listening to music in a room, just not over headphones for me!
I got them and found them abysmal to be honest. They did nothing positive for me at all. They didn't fit comfortable, they fell out and they even hurt my right ear (and I'm very used to in ears). They made me feel like I had a cold and my ears were blocked, horrible experience. I wore them for a while and I didn't adjust it just made everything sound dull and muted. I thought i'd at least try some music on my HD800's and it sounded awful...it was like listening to a low quality MP3 file, like a 96kbps file with all the mid and high information bizarrely filtered out. Remove them and you can hear everything perfectly again.
I don't think these are actually doing anything positive, they're nothing more than ear plugs with holes in the middle that mute some frequencies a bit.
Great review. I have autism and have hypersensitivity to sound. These just take the edge off the sounds of daily life which in turn really helps with anxiety.
Maybe they are great, but I feel like I just watched an ad.
Interesting, you seem to be louder with them in.
comment winner :)
I'll probably need these.
People complain I don't speak loud enough.
But when I intend to speak louder, it's like I'm screaming at them.
LMAOOOO
I got my pair today. I should be going to sleep but here I am listening to music I have heard many times before, and discovering details in music that was hidden behind some sharp/loud instrument in the mix.
Sunglasses for your ears, yes its true.
Music just feels better for me wearing these.. Recommended
Have you tried just getting better cans and listened to uncompressed audio?
You might have just had shit music before.
@JULIET MAGUA No it doesnt. if its mastered bad you wont suddenly be able to hear details that you couldnt before. that is not how compression or sound works.
Great presentation! I ordered a set & THEN did the reviews! My ears have been Driving me nuts for about 30years. Factory work, mechanic, nightclub manager. Now i sing & PLAY GUITAR in front of a band . I´m looking forward to testing these when i try to sit in a restaurant... I find then that I can hear everyone & everything else - apart from the people at my table . CHEERS STREAKY ROCK&ROLL
Just ordered mine. I'm hoping it will help with auditory overstimulation while i'm working as a waitress and also loud situations at family gatherings so i don't "retreat" to a quiet room as much. Thank you for adding more info as there isn't this kind of thing on the actual site.
Hi! Can I ask if it helped? I'm thinking about getting a pair also to avoid overstimulation.
Sorry Streaky, they're just too risky.... What if a lion jumps me on the way to the supermarket?
You take your own risks!!! I'm safe as houses now
LOL
Thank you for this, Streaky!!! I will order these tomorrow for sure
Update?
I bought this Flare Calmer as well. This is my second day using this device. I haven't given up on them. I just hope somehow this helps the Tinnitus! Thank you for your video.
I've been waiting for these for 46 years
Hope you find them useful! It's a long time to deal with noise. Best wishes!
You are probably the best person to review these! You have me convinced!
I just received mine, and I'll need more time to realize if they're actually muffling the sound, but so far so good.
They're working as advertised. They're calming the sound of pianos, trumpets, peakiness, and frequencies that would normally hurt my ears or at least cause some discomfort.
You can still "hear" everything, which is great, but again I'll need more time to see if it's actually just muffling the sound overall.
These should do great out in public with all the noise of day to day cars, etc.
this is nice ! i'm sound engineer too is it gonna prove my mixing work? or its more like cinematic earbuds that calm the distortion around ?
RE: TINNITUS - Actually it's helping mine. I have a 11khz whistle that I sometimes perceive as low as 8khz, and I find that now I'm actually slowly regaining some frequencies. At first, you perceive your tinnitus more apparently over music due to the HF roll-off of calmer, then suddenly,you start to notice you're regaining a little more detail and hearing actual information, as opposed to your tinnitus. It starts as a tingling sensation, specially the first time you put them on. Then your hearing somehow feels "colder"/"cooler". I feel like it's re-training my brain/damaged nerves.
Will report back after a week or so. Right now, I'm just so happy to hear the strumming rhythm and detail of the right channel guitar on Deftones' "Be Quiet and Drive". I've regained some balance in the stereo field (I hear less high frequencies in my right ear due to the tinnitus).
The sound still bounce inside your ear canal without or without this device.
Don't cheat
I got mine yesterday. I am NOT a paid reviewer. A wonderful person I know got them for me to see if they would help.
Background: My tinnitus is absolutely horrible. I had very bad ear infections as a kid and have burst my ear drums so many times that I got noticable holes in them. Being in the Military around gun fire didn't help either I'm sure.
So for me to get a good night with that crazy high pitch whine is next to impossible. I litterly have to sleep with headphones on playing background noise to sleep.
I'm still getting used to the being in my ears and they felt very strange at first. After 12 hours of constant use they don't bother me near as bad. Also the whine noise I normally hear all day has gotten less annoying. I am also noticing that vocals ranges are easier to hear. I did take a short nap with them in and seemed to fall asleep quicker.
I'm gonna try them for a few days first to make sure This is not a placebo effect. So far though. I'm impressed.
Only complaint is that sometimes the fail down into my ear. However they are quick to push right back up. Possibly make slightly different sizes would be a suggestion.
Lastly, Friend paid $27 usd for them directly from thier facebook page and they got here in 1 week from ordering.
May I ask how you know what frequency your tinnitus is and how you what frequency you perceive it to be? I've also got slight tinnitus and sometimes feels like even two different tones in my head at the same time. It's not majorly bad but I've just moved somewhere a lot quieter and it's made it feel more pronounced.
I have tinnitus too for far too long now. I'm hoping to see a change. So far it seems the high pitch has been reduced quite a lot.
I have tinitus as long as i can remember. and it is still there with calmer inserted.
Just ordered mine; hope to be as happy and excited as you are!
Any updates?
I like your energy dude :)
I think it would be an interesting experiment to do a mix and master with them in and with them out and see what the differences are. But I totally get why you wouldn't want to wear them while working.
Thanks for the review🌷😊
I wonder whether you may review the Galaxy Buds Live by Samsung with calmer and tell us your experience regarding the sound quality and the quality of the active noise cancellation.
Thank you
Just got mine. Thanks for sharing this video.
So? Do they work?
Just ordered a set now. Thanks for the heads up.
Any updates?
Hi Streaky, sooo... it has been a couple of months - have you continued to wear them? Any comments?
Just got mines today. Managed to hoover a whole room without getting over stimulated and angry. Can’t wait to test them in the supermarket or public transport
Listening to this video with these in, same color as yours and everything. I just got mine and am trying to adapt right now lol.
I don't know what is more adorable, you or the ear buds. Got mine yesterday, now trying to evaluate their use. So far can't discern any difference, but trying to give them a chance, still trying to make sure they are seated correctly.
I got calmer after watching your video. 😄Could you test and review flare audio earHD plastic version too? The titanium version is too expensive. 😅
I love em! When it's hot out I feel drained even when I'm inside - because I'm sitting next to a window AC all day, and the sound grates on me. I have ADHD and have always been sensitive to sound. These really do seem to make the motor sound less grating. Huzzah!
ive been about to buy some for a few weeks. i have a couple of ppairs of their earplugs cos i have horrible ears damage and tinitus
Do you use them when you are mixing and mastering?
I got them in the hope that they'd help reduce my tinnitus. They haven't noticably done so yet, but where I do find them making a difference is at work. I'm in an environment that subjects me to random, loud, sharp noises that have often triggered an increase in the tinnitus level. These inserts definitely are taking the edge off these sounds for me. As for their effectiveness in reducing the tinnitus sound itself, I think that may just depend on the type of tinnitus you're experiencing. Worth a try, I believe.
Usually, the only moment that the tinnitus ticks me off is when I'm in bed trying to sleep. Did you tried it while sleeping yet?
@@arthuro.l.7923 No, because I read while listening to a "rain machine" and that seems to help me sleep. Focuses the mind on an external sound. I've a feeling they wouldn't particularly help me with sleeping but, again, that probably depends on your tinnitus. For the price, I'd give them a go. If nothing else, they'll flatten out those irritating sharp sounds that seem to aggravate tinnitus. I know this sounds lame, but there are also 'self-hypnosis' exercises that might help you sleep. I've used them for years and they do work, but not 100% initially - you have to persevere for a few days/weeks. There are lots of sites on it but here's one I found to give you some idea how it works - www.autogenic-therapy.org.uk/
Streaky, I'm just starting to think about getting into mastering, so I have no setup I'm "used to". I'm an old guy too, so would you use these if you just starting out in mastering? Thanks in advance.
I don't have experience with mastering myself but I would think you don't want to alter your ears in any way for this since you want to hear how other people will here to do the best job
Ordered mine and am waiting delivery. Read reviews of reducing tinnitus so decided to give them a try
Tinnitus comes from within, they might stop harsh sounds triggering and making it worse. But can't see how they can reduce tinnitus. Let me know how you get on?
@@Ninjjadog See my reply from the main post. So far... Not sure if it placebo effect or not. The annoying whine has reduced after wearing them for nearly 12hrs. Not sure how it's doing it. But it is.
I can absolutely say that they do improve vocals range dramatically for me. That alone makes them worth the price.
These could be awesome at the cinema.
Man you started yelling at us
I think I'll try them.
I've been thinking about getting a pair, and the urge after watching this review resultade in 2 pairs.
How do you get on with them?
Would it be interesting to do a test mastering a track with and without the Calmer and then judge the result with and without again? I think I would do that once I get them too.
For that you would want the HD ear 360
Interesting stuff! Please could you confirm whether all of your reviews / product overviews are impartial? For peace of mind for us viewers!
Yep unfortunately I don’t get paid 😌 but any companies reading this then I’m open to offers 😂😂😂
I received mine a couple of days ago. I was somewhat confused by the instructions on how to install the 'earplugs?' but today I tried (confusing instructional sketch). It didn't go well and after a few frustrating minutes, I had them installed. That's when my problem started - I have very small ear canals and expected they be hard to fit in - not true because they're quite small and flexible. However I decided I should remove them to see how that process would go. First one (right ear) no problem, Second one (left ear) I could not pinch the little tab to remove it. It was so deep neither I nor my wife (even with her handy splinter tweezers) could extract it. I ended up going to the emergency department at my local hospital (last place I wanted to go during Covid19) but on a Sunday. With panic setting in - and a statutory holiday the next day (no family doctor available) it was my only choice. After a short wait (multiple Covid19 questions) I got to see the admitting nurse - again a few more Covid19 questions and asking what's wrong - she had a look and her comment was 'how did you get that way down there' - a good question for which I had no answer, but I want it out! She eliminated the rest of the admitting process and went to get surgical tweezers (autoclaved) and quickly removed the 'Calmer' earplugs. I'm in the process of returning them as there definitely not for me. I liked the whole idea of these things but please beware of putting them in too deep!
David Morgan 😱 holy 💩! you poor thing...!
So I just put them in and I don’t feel like it’s muffling and sound in my environment but it feels like when I talk it’s muffled. Do you have that same experience?
I got mine today and feel exactly the same ! It's been 10 months since your comment, did anything change ?
Me puede informar donde los compro?
hey bro mine arrived today. Ive had them in 2 hours now and starting to notice things. I like you am an engineer. I suffer from tinnitus from years of studio. I also have hyperacusis, which is extreme sensitivity of certain frequencies leading to a burning pain in the ears. Hyperacusis ended my career in music, which is still difficult. I hoping these Calmers gives me a chance to get back in the studio.
I have it for a month. In my case it just increased the ringing noise.
@@AndersonFerreiraandersonf Please ... could you tell me if these Calmer devices helped at all? I have allot of people asking me about them. Im skeptical. Thank you . From Ade Tinnitus Support & Recovery.

@@ADETinnitusSupportRecovery just make worst for me, loose my hope on it
@@AndersonFerreiraandersonf do u have only tinittus aur hypercusis
Even if these calmers help, does it mean you have to wear them for the rest of your life as long ss you have tinnitus? Can someone please be so kind to reply before i decide to make s purchase ?
Maybe I'm overthinking it but I'm struggling with which direction they should be facing?
Check the website
i just got them today and i'm in my teens with sensory processing issues and my mum got me them. i cant tell if i like them or not. its confusing because i don't really see a difference but that just might be me.
I have mine for sensory problems and they are helping but it’s subtle. When I’m getting overloaded I use custom earplugs
@@NovasUA-camName Can I ask where you got the custom earplugs? I have hypersensitivity and I got the calmer product to help, but it isn't helping as much as I'd like working in an area with lots of noise
@@silverwolf6669 I went to a Hearing Centre in my city that does hearing tests, hearing aids, and earplugs for construction workers etc. Not sure if it’s an audiologist though..? Maybe search custom earplugs and your city. So my pair are actually ones for sleep because they don’t block out as many decibels as the construction ones so I can still hear people close to me speaking, they just block out background noise. I was warned many times not to wear them for more than about half an hour a day because they will train the brain to make the hypersensitivity worse - but they are a lifesaver when I need them! Can’t go to a noise store or gathering without them. Good luck! :)
only stone lions in london apart from zoo, will take some there to try
Streaky, do you think these would do anything in clubs/music venues where the music is obnoxiously loud to soothe those painful frequencies? Or do you think they are too subtle for that?
I currently wear ear plugs but maybe these could be an option for something that doesn't change the sound quite so drastically?
Lookup musicians ear plugs those are for your situation. They block all frequencies close to equally which makes the sound not be crap. Normal foam ones block unequally hence the bad sound. I just got the calmer today and they seem nice, but not for loud music reducing volume.
@@radfaraf Do you have any recommendations of ear plugs you have actually used personally?
The ones I use are designed for musicians. I've tried a few different ones that claim to block sound equally, but haven't been 100% happy with any. Maybe I just have unrealistic expectations.
The ones I use are decent and I'm happy with them if I'm focused on the music. I can even forget I have them in. But they still make it quite difficult to understand anyone that talks to you.
@@TjMoon91 Etymotic Research ER20 note they aren’t perfect just way better than foam for sound quality.
I actually want to order them, wondering if they will help at my job. Work in a home with 9 teens with a small mental disability. Heavy days, loads of sounds, tv, music, everything. When I get home I need about an hour or 1,5 to get calm and ready to sleep. Do you think they might help at least a little with this?
Yes
I have hyperacusis so I’m thinking of getting them for Everyday life. Obvs not for mix and master though, as they totally screw with the curve by the looks of things!
ᛝAᛝ Hardingmål ᛝΩᛝ I had hyperacusis and beat it. I went through hospital about it had all the tests but was told my ears and hearing is fine. With Hyperacusis It’s more to do with how your brain is interpreting the signal. Once I knew that, I endured the pain of louder sounds in the knowledge it was fake pain, so slowly exposing to louder sounds, building it up. Now I’m fully past it 👍🏼
@@FudalwokitMusic how long did it take to get accustomed?
@@debjyotidaspodder5086 A few months, First steps were being in the same room as a blender, then allowing myself to be in the same room as a hoover.....yes these simple everyday things were too much to handle and i spent a lot of my time around the home in Peltor Ear Defenders before and that was the worst thing to do! as the more you protect your ears from sounds, the more sensitive they become - its a vicious circle you need to avoid at all costs!
Its such a horrible place to be, crockery being put away was one of the worst household sounds I couldn't deal with, all these sounds were being encoded by my brain as if they had massive resonant peaks that were destroying my ear drums, it was a very physical sensation, the pain was sharp and unbearable. You will need strong willpower to get over it, it can destroy your life if you allow it to.
As long as you are sure it is hyperacusis, and not something else, I implore you to start dealing with the pseudo pain, ignore it, your brain is malfunctioning, my specialist said words to the effect of (i cant remember exactly but...) the part of your brain that deals with this, is right next to part of the brain that deals with trauma. He said life trauma can be one possible trigger for hyperacusis. Hope some of the above helps someone in some way so they can rise above it :)
@@FudalwokitMusic Question - did standing in the rooms not cause hearing damage? Im dealing with the same thing and try what you tried but it leaves my tinnitus even worse - which is the last thing i want to do..
danielkavanagh1994 as long as the sounds are not above the known standards. E.g. Use a dosimeter, you can even get free ones that work with your smart phone to get an approximation. The standards differ in different countries but it’s my understanding that 85dB is not going to hurt you if exposed for no longer than 4 hours. I was experiencing pain at 75dB immediately. For peace of mind Get the tests done if you can to make sure nothing else is going on as I’m obv not a doctor.
Like you, I also live with severe tinnitus but I just ignore it and my brain does a fantastic job of filtering it. At night when going to sleep I prefer to have a fan running to blank out the tinnitus. My tinnitus is loud enough I can hear it over the TV if I focus on it, but my choose is ignore and filter and it works for me. The whole thing is a massive psychological game. Good luck! Strength of mind! ✊
"Smooth" is a good word for how you hear sound with these in. I got them in hopes that they will help with my bilateral tinnitus (a high, ringing hiss). So far I haven't noticed any change, but I only just got them...
Same here for the tinnitus, have you noticed any changes since your comment? I just got the Calmers today and it’s my first night trying them out!
@@Gui_3432 how are they?
Guigui M just got mine how are you doing with them? I have them due to tinnitus?
Ken, I really would like to know whether these have helped you with you tinnitus. I've got tinnitus too, high pitches noise in my head all the time.
@@gailjunewindows2551 Gail, I really would like to know whether these have helped you with you tinnitus.
Interesting. Do you think these could be used to reduce overall ear fatigue so that when it comes to being in the studio you can work for longer?
That's exactly what they do...it your tracking they would be good, or just putting loops together but critical moments pop them out and you have fresh ears...
@@Streaky_com I was thinking more wearing them during the day while out and about and then taking them out for studio time but it would probably naturally lead to that. Anyway nice review, definitely worth looking into considering their price 👌😁
MrMitchGames that’s the exact use I think they are good for
Interesting, I didn't know our ears had a frequency response hump, I've always found certain frequencies harsh listening to music with my headphones and DAC, I'm doing to try these before looking at new headphones.
Makes all those audiophile flat response claims seems a bit pointless, why not could audiophile equipment to counter our natural bump?
We don't - it's a load of bollocks.
Hi I suffered an acoustic trauma 2 years ago I have a whistle that doesn't pass me anymore .... could you help me? Thank's my friend.
It's called tinnitus, join the club
Mine have just arrived I’ve had tinnitus for 25 years and now it’s so bad that when I go to bed at night I can’t hear any other noises because of it, it drives me mad so I’m really hoping it makes even just a little difference. So this is day 1.. At the minute Im aware of my tinnitus more so, ears feeling a little strange and fuzzy but going to try and forget they are in and will keep you posted 🤞
Please keep us posted!
It’s bs in my case. Hope yours in better
Hey! I have tinnitus too and it also makes me mad at night because i can only hear that! Do you have any updates???
I bought this Flare Calmer as well. This is my second day using this device. I just hope somehow this helps the Tinnitus! My Tinnitus went from manageable to drive me crazy. Same thing like you at night. I can't rest my head on my right ear on the pillow, because I sleep with white noise and I can't hear it to muffle my Tinnitus. Keep us post it on any change that you might fell using Calmer.
Hi, Regarding Tinnitus, I kept them in 24/7 for about 7 days I hadn’t really noticed any difference at that point, if anything I was slightly more aware of my annoying high pitched whistling tinnitus, that may have been because I was thinking about it more or just hoping it would make a huge difference, I was really trying to listen to other noises but frustrated and disappointed that I couldn’t hear them. After the 7th day my ears became a little sore so had to remove them for about a week. When listening to music, TV etc it is clearer and does make you feel calmer as described, but so far unfortunately for Me it hasn’t yet helped my Tinnitus. I shall keep trying and if I notice any improvements I shall post another message. Everyone is different so they may work for someone else. If Someone has a miracle cure please let me no. Thanks
Would they help with misophonia?
I have neurological events (migraines, tinnitus, sensitivity to sound) and thought these would help. These hurt! The silicon is far more firm than I expected. It's very noticeable when they are in. So far as sound - I hardly noticed a changed. I didn't find them effective in reducing "spikes" in sound or tinnitus.
Really? I’m sensitive to sound too. Headache prone/migraines occasionally. You really didn’t like them? I’m sad. I wanted to try them
I wonder if these are worth me trying?
I struggle a lot it’s blocking out sounds that I don’t want to hear. For example if I’m in a restaurant with people talking all around me I find it really really difficult to hear the person next to me over all the other sounds.
Going to give these a try I think.
Yeah good for me that 👍
Streaky, would you recommned using these when mixing?
That is an interesting question. If you understand how your equipment sounds and it then transfers nicely to other systems then I would say yes. I have known people make great mixes on shitty systems because they understand that sound. Now, the same argument could be made for these but I think the benefit (if you keep them in all the time) is when you take them out to mix after letting your ears 'relax'. Mine are coming today so I'm going to test all this stuff out.
As a few people have mentioned, they are £20 and you can get your money back easily if you don't like 'em.
I've just gotten mine. Im in the middle of tracking and am curious to see how it affects the rest of the session and how it affects the mix. Im afraid ill over state those 2k to 8k frequencies when mixing with these. Guess I'll know if the glass wear starts shattering 😆
Nice! I get a lot of stress and jumps from random sounds/background noise and I find it super hard to understand what people are saying over intercoms. Just got a pair and can't wait to test them at my work (warehouse/store job) :D
How did it go?
@@blueflame316 yeah they're great! Very useful for being able to distinguish voices from electrical interference as well :)
I have been using calmer for tinitus. The results are amazing. But they are conspicuous. Are they available in flesh colour? If so I will buy immediately
So your tinnitus has gone completely?
@@margueritaharris2424 It hasn't gone completely but there's a significant improvement, Really pleased..
Can you tell more? What is your tinnitus type and how and where did you notice a difference? Today is my day 1 with these.
@@korento3000 I don't know what type of tinitus I have but it seems to be driven by stress. I just have it in one ear and I just use one calmer. It doesn't cure the tinitus but it reduces the volume and creates a softer sound which is easier to listen to.
So where do you work at flare? Many many don’t get any benefit with tinnitus
Can’t wait to try the plugin version !! Wait there’s soothe plugin ! 🤔🤔
I’m gonna have to snag a pair
Somewhat quieted my tinnitus but mostly they brought a calm I haven't experienced since this pandemic took hold. I was quite calm until one fell out of my ear even though they were correctly inserted (I must have skinny ears :)) and, since it's gray, I cannot locate it on my gray rug or in my gray upholstery. Believe me, I looked. They aren't inexpensive but worth every penny. I'll buy another pair and maybe attach a thin lanyard to them in case they fall out again (kidding of course).
Smaller sized ones just got released by flare I think.
Nice review, but my interest in these, or any other hearing aid, is to help with hearing conversations, and listening to voices in movies or on TV (yes, the sound quality is terrible on some movies for voice and a lot of actors mubble their words--to sound cool--darn sound engineers!).
You might be interested in Flare Audio Ear HD which helps clear up sound coming from the direction you're facing.
Nice...how about a review after you master a track using these. 🙃🙃🙃
might be a little lacking in the mids
Does anyone know if Calmer Pro or Calmer night cuts sudden noise? For example, if an upstairs neighbour drops something on the floor, does Calmer prevent this irritable sound? I really need this info to buy it.
Calmer night cuts more than the original Calmer. As long as the sounds you neighbour produces are in the range Calmer is softening, it's going to be less harsh. I wear Calmer Night out in the city and it's just nicer because harsh sounds don't hurt my ears nearly as much as they do without them and I'm more relaxed.
I like the idea of these and am wearing them at the moment but they hurt my ears. I know exactly what you meant Streaky when you said your ears feel a little 'numb'. I think I have small ear canal entrance as all ear buds fall out. Tinnitus is worst for me when it's quiet and by filtering out other noises the tinnitus becomes more apparent. I'll give it a bit longer and come back again.
Hey, can you please update for us how this calmers works for ypu after 1 month?
They actually sell 2 sizes, with ‘mini’ is specifically for people with smaller ear canals
@@sergiotrillos1651 Hi - they aren't nice. Too big for my ears and cause pain.
@@MeganBethanyx Thanks MeganBethany - I've contacted Flare as they only did one size when I ordered. Hopefully they'll sort me out
It "sounds" like a good idea, now the trick is to get all your listeners to wear these too so they hear what you hear! Nothin' to it! I would buy these to see how they work though, they aren't super overpriced at all and that's not par for the music industry when you think of it.
$36.67 is the cost I paid. I live in CA. The most I've ever paid for tracking.
How are they?
Do you think they would help with critical listening/mixing/mastering? Since you're hearing things more clearly? You seem to be on the side of only using them for entertainment listening, but was just wondering if you think they could have a place in an audio engineer's process. The website does claim some of their users use them in the studio
I Wouldn't use when working but they are very refreshing in the outside world and just listening to music in the background...not as much 3k -5k tiring your head
@@Streaky_com I worried about that - you cannot mix for naked ears if wearing these. Amazing concept though.
Just got a pair yes you can hear the difference I will try them on the tug train at work
My only worry as someone with Hyperacusis - My ears adapting to using these will make my ears without them even more sensitive to harsh noises. I dont want to have to end up wearing this permanently because my ears can no longer tolerate the noise without them.. :/
But maybe that "noise vacation" can also give your ears time to rest and heal? I'm not sure
I have mine for sensory problems/hyperacusis and I agree with the needing a healing intensity break! I use isolation earphones when things get really bad. Shouldn’t use them all the time of it will make things worse over all. But they are good tools for preventing meltdowns if things get that bad 🤪
Wouldn’t they get stuck when they’re in
Id be very interested to hear from anyone with Tinnitus if these helped at all.
Same here! please let us know!
See my reply I just gave.
I just bought received them today and i have tinnitus. I’ll check after a week if it does anything
I guess they're great... I just got a little seasick from your camera going back and forth. :)
me too. I had to close my eyes to listen.
Thanks Streaky, just ordered them.
So no negatives? A lot of people mention that they're uncomfortable.
You don't keep getting sent free shit to review if you make negative comments about the products. Man this channel has turned into complete shit.
I’m going to get some of these ! Autism makes sound so sensitive to the point of my brain turning into scrambled eggs, I have 2 nephews 1 is 3, the other is 5 make things difficult when they visit, also shopping centres cars and all kinds of stuff. I’ll be able to sit anywhere in a cafe! Yay! Just got to find my card💳…..
I just wonder if using them in a long term can create some sort of hearing damage....
Probably the opposite
right? if those Plug makes Rock Sound smoother....you listen to rock....listen longer to tracks because your brain thinks its ok now it doesnt hurt your eardrum....what if you do this for 2 3 years? or does it train you ears to lower the TH? 🤔
Cheers from France. No tinnitus here but the sound of cymbals and guitars is giving me hard times on my left ear. Once I receive them, I'll update this post !
Any updates?
What about it ? Any feedback ?
@@jenkri
I think he lost his hearing
3d print and use as mold on silicon
What about traffic sound? I live by a busy street and every 2min there’s a screaming motorcycle busting my ears. Would this help on that case, or it would just enhance the loud sounds?
According to the video yes
Maybe ideal for general music listening but they don't seem like they would be useful in the studio.
That's exactly right but they do keep our ears fresh for the studio
Do you think your brain will get used to them and start overcompensating, then when you are without them actually hear the harsh frequencies even more? Have you been using them for a couple of weeks now? Noticed anything?
I absolutely hate hate hate the sound of ppl screeching their knives and forks on plates when they eat. So wearing these would it help? I’m thinking I’ll still be able to hear that noise wearing these. Just wondering if it would somehow calm the anger in me when I hear the hatred noise
I’ve been looking for tinnitus relief for nearly 20 years. I ordered these a week ago and I’m pretty sure I’m going to get them surgically implanted.
What??
Ikialyfe what?
@@single_daddin_it if you would go as far as surgery, there must be a way to do it with a special equipment, don't do it with random item not designed for that lol
I didn’t know I’d actually have to explain that my statement was, in fact, a joke.
@@single_daddin_it lmao, you know we see everything online :)
I got these yesterday. So far hasn't helped with me tinnitus. As someone else has mentioned though, you do seem to start shouting when there in
Can i get it in india ??
its not a hearing aid its a clearing aid
Interesting.
Yeah they are crazy
@@Streaky_com just purchased :)
Does this help with your tinnitus? Can anyone with tinnitus here share your experiences?
Just got mine and tested now for like 30 mins. Unfortunately not a big difference for me and my tinnitus but I will wear them for awhile and compare. There might be a small improvement that I haven't picked up yet.
Now I have tried them for almost a day. They do nothing for my tinnitus. Maybe it can help you but essentially they are working like a pair of earplugs w/o the full dampening effect. So if you experience a difference with normal plugs or by putting your fingers to your ears they might help you. If not then I wouldn't put too much faith in these.
Honestly I feel a bit stupid that I believed that this would help but it's just clever marketing. As said: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
No, they do nothing for tinnitus. Tinnitus comes from within. The way they advertise it helping Tinnitus is disingenuous.
I have a pair btw ^
US americans they didnt advertise it that way. Stop slandering.
Why would these help with tinnitus which is an inner ear problem? Tinnitus is not an incoming 'sound' it is from within the choclea where the damage is permanent. So wearing any sort of earplug is like puttimg the cart b4 the horse. The only treatment for tinnitus ringimg is to mask it with another frequency. Eureka!.. that givesvme an idea!! Merry Xmas everyone.
I have bought them after so many positive opinions but unfortunately, they don't work for me. The sound is just muffled, I don't know how some people can say that the clarity of the sounds has improved, I just hear like I have a blanket on my head.
They are also not super comfortable, I feel them in my ears all the time and therefore I do not feel comfortable wearing them and sometimes it irritates me instead of calming me down.
It's probably a matter of ear structure or the spectrum we hear, each of us hears a bit differently.
Exactly the same as my experience. Sounded like I had a cold and my ears were blocked - horrible. Did nothing positive and made my HD800's sound horrible, like I was listening to a low quality MP3. Ironically it hurt me ears more and it had filtered some snare drums to the point that some of the sounds were actually hurting my ears.
Load of pseudo-science nonsense if you ask me that people are falling for. We're probably the only ones with good ears here (I know I can hear over 22k anyway)
Do you sleep with them for the first 24 hours?
I never sleep with anything in the first 24 hrs 😂😂😂
Flare audio makes some that you can sleep in, they are made with a softer silicone.
They do absolutely nothing for Tinnitus. Don't believe the hype
So they don’t soften out the harsh sounds that usually trigger/increase tinnitus no? Asking because I have tinnitus and what he described actually sounds beneficial.
I have Tinnitus they are useless another cheap gimmick.
Yep I thought so.
Unfortunately did not help with tinnitus maybe I need to leave them in much longer
I have Tinnitus and got these as a present, Made no difference what so ever, Disappointing.
Hi
I didn't get on with these at all. After a while, they started to hurt my ears and would often dislodge when chatting or eating due to movement of the jaw. From an audio perspective, they seem to reduce the overall volume of everything as well as dropping a lot of the top end. To me, they took a lot of 'excitement' out of my hearing so needless to say, I sacked them off. It's interesting you think so highly of them. Perhaps I need to give them a 2nd chance. Well, 5th or 6th.
I mean the product is named “calmer” I’d recommend looking elsewhere for “excitement”
Completely. This was my experience also.
And me - I got them and found them abysmal to be honest. They did nothing positive for me at all. They didn't fit comfortable, they fell out and they even hurt my right ear (and I'm very used to in ears). They made me feel like I had a cold and my ears were blocked, horrible experience. I wore them for a while and I didn't adjust it just made everything sound dull and muted. I thought i'd at least try some music on my HD800's and it sounded awful...it was like listening to a low quality MP3 file, like a 96kbps file with all the mid and high information bizarrely filtered out. Remove them and you can hear everything perfectly again.
I don't think these are actually doing anything positive, they're nothing more than ear plugs with holes in the middle that mute some frequencies a bit.
@@TheDanielShepherd ditto. I lost one the other day, slipped out and I didn't notice. A fairly expensive experiment. Useless! Pure marketing hype. Check reviews of Flare audio stuff too, abysmal 😑
I bought this one's for misophonia, but I still listening the noise during my sleep, im gonna cry. I live in Toronto and I pay $60 dollars in total.
Hi, these are not for that. You should then choose the once for sleeping or ear protection on the Calmer Site. These here are not protectors, they enhance the hearing.
Do they help with Misophonia like on a grocery store with kids screaming?
RE: Tinnitus/Waveguide/Flare Calmer. Sadly I have to disagree with most of this. Although not intended for Tinnitus I thought I'd give these a go back at product launch as some sufferers had purportedly experienced improvements. I also have a friend who suffers from tinnitus who borrowed them so these observations are not purely based on my own experiences. As they effectively filter out certain frequencies of everyday life some of which help mask our tinnitus the tinnitus was massively compounded. As a musician and producer for over 30-years (... sadly the cause of my tinnitus) the wave guide concept on which these are based is not a useful bit of pseudo science as it basically just dulls your ability to hear certain incredibly useful frequencies. From 2x user reviews these are not beneficial for tinnitus and if you want to filter out the world and feel calmer buy some earplugs for £1!
But with earplugs I can’t hear people speaking clearly, with these I can.
That seems a bit backwards. Rather than just muffle some frequencies and let others through, you recommend muffling all frequencies?
$30, actually, plus over $10 to ship something weightless in a cardboard mailer.
