- Having issues with neighbor above me in my apartment. Stomping, yelling, child running, whining dog... you name it. Will these Quieton sleep buds designed for side sleepers and featuring active noise cancellation, work?
Thanks for saving me from wasting money on this product.
Thx for saving me money
The intro about upstairs neighbours makes me feel more understood than most things or people have in this life. And I do feel for you, mate! Never getting yourself into a rental situation like that is a lesson that is learned in a very cruel, sleep-robbing and stress-inducing way.
The Quieton3 are on sale at a local retailer at the moment and I had been looking for reviews periodically for quite a while. Finally found one that I feel I can fully trust and guess what, it saves me a humongous amount of money! (The local retailer is an audio store, so they even have a no returns policy for earbuds..) Thanks again!
I lived like this for ten years, I smashed by foot into the door almost (idk) broke it, im emotionally at a point where I will get my comment removed by woketube, another stress element that induces pure hatred, at my gf is ingoring me , I think she is like she is because of low intelligence, because low IQ correlates with biases, oh noes i prob go over the line now voke tube delteldaosejodjf
so what should i use to sleep?
@@cupidok2768 Moving seems like the only option. Although it has been ten months and I'm still in the same place that brought me to this video. Rental markets are fucked.. Sleep overall has been better though, thanks to cutting down on screen time from 8pm onwards and also reducing caffeine intake greatly. And better sleep makes the days more relaxed too.
Thank you for saving me.. I was about to spend my last money on these buds. Just subscribed to your channel ..
This video saved me from making an expensive mistake. Thank you.
You’re an honest man.
Thanks bro.
Did you end up finding an alternative in the meantime?
Thanks! I'm a Bose QC2 user, too. Recently, I was studying for this product, but after watching your video, I guess I can save myself a lot of troubles.
Thank you so much for your video and the troubles you had to return them. 👍
Thank you for the review. Most of reviews on youtube are sponsored by company and all say it's good. Like you said, I better until BOSE make something similar with same function, just cut all other functions, make it small and comfortable with wider range of noice canceling coverage... no need bluethooth, no need white noise, no need alram what so ever, just make it quiet.
Maybe need to wait another decades? If there's any product with this size with BOSE level noise canceling, I will be happy to pay 500$.
I'd pay $500 as well. (if you combined the active noise cancellation of Bose with the size and comfort of Quieton. I don't think it will take decades. Maybe a year or two. I don't know. We'll see.
Bose Quietcomfort II earbuds and a Pillow With A. Hole In It is the combo you crave!
Thanks for sharing this 'review'. 😂 I was highly contemplating on acquiring these sleepbuds 3 months ago (for the sole purpose of blocking a certain sleep partner who snores till the whole room vibrates). But there weren't any 'honest' reviews on the ANC performance.
Now, at least I know I saved a HECK ton of money thanks to your sacrifice. 🙏🏼
Hoping to wait for some new BOSE sleepbuds releasing in the near future!
I hate BS products! Thanks for saving me time and money. God bless.
Thank you for your review on this products. I have the same problem with upstairs neighbors too. I was thinking about purchasing this, but now I will need to look for a new one that will work for me to sleep at night. This video saved my money!
I bought them a couple of months ago, and I completely agree with everything you said. And being that I wasn’t able to return them, I tried something that changed a lot how they work. I don’t know if you already tried it, but like you, for me the confortable ear tip was the medium size, but I found out that using a bigger one wasn’t as confortable but was blocking the noise better, and was helping the mild ANC to work better. Curiously this wasn’t the only solution they didn’t tell me to try. I contacted them saying that they were working just like a cheap foam plugs, just like you said in the video, because it was exactly how they felt. But after changing the ear tips it makes sense to use them now, and it’s the best option for sleeping I found so far (but still far from perfect). I hope this works for you too!
Yes allso sqeeze the foam allround,really quickly, then lift the top of your ear, put them in twist push & hold your thumb for 5 sec. Just Lifting the ear methode make a huge difference. Coupled with the right size foam, makes these amazing, i personally love this product. Dont just push them in, it wont seal.
Thank you very much for true review and saving money not many people do that
Great video .I having the same problem . Noisy neighbors is hell ! Finding a good apartment in my city is not an easy task.
Thank you for the review. I wanted to buy them and saved me some $$$.
thank u for sharing man. i feel you so much on the noises that disturb sleep. Maybe you can ask the admin or manager of your apartment to talk to your neighbors upstairs to be more careful with making noise? I hope you are able to find a better place after your lease ends
Wow thank you!! U just saved me alot of money, and i dont have much as it is!! Thank you!!!!
Hey I had a similar issue when I found your video, but I've since found a different solution. There is a pillow called "original pillow with a hole" where there is a space in the pillow for your ear. It allows you to sleep with noise cancelling earphones on comfortably. Last night my lovely upstairs neighbour was making a racket as per usual, but the Bose earphones cut out all the noise and the pillow allowed me to sleep on my side. If you're still in this situation it would be worth trying as it's worked perfectly for me! The pillow with a hole 2 is a bit bigger and the best one to go for I think. Hope this helps!
Several months ago, I did end up trying 3 different pillows with holes in them. One of them was the "original pillow with a hole" That one was smaller and decent. But I preferred this one: amzn.to/47JAFkX. I use it every night to get me to midnight, then I take the headphones off (usually wake up several times a night... the first time being around midnight) and use my normal feather pillow with a fan on my night stand creating some white noise to drown out any small noises from outside. This setup has been working fairly well for me. I'll be out of this apartment in a month...never, never again will I rent with somebody over me.
You saved me. Thank you
Thank you for your honest opinion. I was curious about these too but didn't order them because of the terrible return policy. Right now it seems like there really isn't a good solution on the market.
It's a BS return policy at that. Had to pay an additional $40 to ship them to Sweden and it still took almost 2 months for me to get refunded and only because PayPal intervened.
You can also get a pillow with a hole in it (weird I know), but it works somewhat with headphones. It also works if you're lonely.
Yeah, I’m experimenting with some pillows with holes right now.
any links to get the holed pillows?
Love the little Rush riff you put in there, Cygnus x-1 I believe
😉
Dude thanks so much for this video. I have neighbours from hell too upstairs and was wondering how these perform. I'm also a side sleeper. I use the Airpods Pro 2 which have decent noise cancellation (completely block out traffic and other constant noises and do a decent job on impact noises). Like you, also bought special pillows with earholes in them so I can still sleep on my side. The only limitation is that the battery with ANC on only lasts 4 hours so only good for naps and not overnight sleeps!
I would definetly get the Bose if they came out with the sleep buds III with ANC.
Man, I wish I had seen this before I bought them. They don’t seem to be doing much for me at all. Had them for a couple of days and wondering if I’m just not using them well. I can still hear my air conditioner with them in. It’s a quiet, modern air conditioner.
Thank you for this honest review. Seems like a lot of other channels are being paid to say this is a decent product.
Thank you for your review. So did you ever find the earphones that block out noise?
Nope, not yet. I've been using 3 fans positioned on a board 3 feet above my head (one left, one center and one right) to block out noise. It helps some.
LOL I just got these in the mail! Your intro is hilarious and I know exactly how you feel man... thankfully Apple airpods pro saved my Sanity and since then I got sony XM4, etc..... before the airpods pro was released though, my only hope was that Sony $100 ANC headphones which honestly wasn't that good... Technology is great!
I got those and they worked fine for me but on one side its very painful to wear and I have to take It off in the middle of the night unfortunately
seems difficult to find high-quality active noise-canceling earbuds that are small enough to wear while sleeping. Just wait for technological advancement. thank you for your honest review
I am using tozo and anc is quite surprising, it's a bit bulky though
@@henriquetomio I'm using Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and its ANC is impressive, but way too bulky to sleep with. We should wait for technological innovation that can balance both ANC performance and compact size.
Mileage may vary. I live in a very noisy urban environment and these things absolutely do the trick for me. Traffic sound was my big issue and these reduce the noise to a level that allows me to sleep through the night.
So you mean the quiet on have worked for you?
@SwjatoslawHD Yes. I love them. I'm a single fella so I can't speak to how well they drown out snoring, but I can say cars with loud exhausts, garbage trucks, and general street noise are reduced significantly. They are comfy too. For me, they have been a good investment.
@@jordanpowers8007 thx for the Info 👌
@@jordanpowers8007 do they still work alot of people complaining they break down. Do they work to block sound of loud vehciles/traffic?
@@M0stBlunt3d Hey bud, yes they still work just as well as the day I bought them. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment building situated on a very busy intersection - think heart of downtown in a large metropolis. As such there is traffic at all hours, including emergency response vehicles. I got the quieton specifically to mitigate such noises. They work very well for that purpose, imo. I would recommend them and pairing them with some strategically placed white noise machines. I'm not a quieton evangelist, but I do think it is a quality product and do not have any complaints about them. Also, shout out Doom.
thanks for the review ... that's unfortunate .... i thought that with that steep price they definitely must be premium and do their job but it seams not . glad i watched your review . i have some jabra elite 85t but you can't sleep on your side with those and battery last only 4 hours ...
hey man, I have a similar issue with the neighbours upstairs, I use my sony 1000xm4 even for sleeping, you just have to get used to falling asleep on your back
Yep, it's hard for me to sleep on my back. Sometimes I'm able to, though.
My mom is one of those loud people, I can still hear her get up at 7am with my bedroom door shut. My AirPods cancel more noise than these. For a while a friend was living with me and he snored, I bought these to see if they help. They do cancel out some noises but don’t cancel out people next to you.
I think the best solution is have ANC + soothing sound. ANC will cancel high volume noise and soothing sound will cover rest
lol like didn't cancel out your friend? :D
Thanks for this. I was going to buy them since they don't have bluetooth. I guess I'll have to keep sleeping with my AirPods Pro, waking up in the night to pee, charging them, waking up again to pee, putting them back in (people upstairs stomp into the bedroom at midnight and stomp around at 7am and I sleep long hours). Hopefully Bose will come out with something.
Thanks for the video .. was rly hoping they worked ..can’t believe no one has made a good solution to this universal problem … ps ur video was actually funny. U should make more sarcastic humorous videos 😅
Have you tried Sleep A10 from soundcore or Snoozeband or loop earplugs?
I have not tried those. No active noise cancellation on the A10's so that's not gonna work for me. Never heard of the other two. I have serious noise issues so noise 'masking' wouldn't work for my particular situation. I need top of the line noise cancellation.
Could they work to reduce a constant 50Hz humming to a good minimum?
Don’t know if I’m inserting correctly or not but so far I think I’ve been had, not cancelling out anything… I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong
Thanks for the great review, that product is such a waste of money. I use Howard Leights 32db NRR disposable earplugs. Before this, I tried buying a noise cancelling headphones used in industrial setting with an MP3 player, but since I'm also a side sleeper, I hemmed my pillow, made a hole in the middle to fit the headphone while I'm on my side, that didn't work, wasted a pillow, gave away the headphones. Then I just stucked with the earplugs and while that is on my ear, also tried listening to brown noise in my ipod with the small earphones in my ear on top of the earplugs, but it kept getting off, so I bought a sleep headband online. Worked for awhile, but its speaker thou a bit thin, hurts my hears in the middle of the night, so it's also a no go. Atm just using earplugs and have developed insomnia because of kitchen noise beside my room at 4am. I bought another earphone from Temu, a wireless one that's like the shape of a hook that that can just be put in the ear without the plugs, so I hope that works, i'll see in 3 weeks when it gets delivered.
Do we know when bose will come out with their new sleeping earbuds? Did you find a different good earbud/earplug? I have an issue with my upstairs and bottom neighbors.
Haven’t heard anything new from Bose yet. I’ve been using a combination of my Sony WH 1000 XM3 headphones and a special pillow with a hole in it to get me to midnight. After midnight it’s fairly quiet where I am so I can take the headphones off and just use the fans to drown out any small noises.
I have a new hero!
I own both the Quieton's 3.1 as well as the Bose sleepbuds. I am a real consumer - this is not some fake review. At the beginning, the noise cancelling feature worke really well. The Quieton's are not as comfortable as Bose, but I forced myself to get used to them. Four months after I purchased the Quieton's, the sound cancelling feature stopped working making the product useless. After a long six week waiting period, Quieton replaced the earbuds. Guess what, four months later, the same thing happened the noise cancelling failed. Changing the foam earpieces did not do anything. Quieton refused to do anything saying their liability is limited to the cost of the earbuds. I was entitled to just this one replacement and they were not standing by their product. Tough luck. $300 out the window.
Don't deal with this company. They have a problem with their product and they refuse to own up to it.
I use Mack’s silicone putty it comfortable and blocks 100%
I’ve bought them because I’m getting desperate. My problem is noise from pipes in the wall. I’m hoping that this will block it out easily as it’s ambient. .
The thing that truly works is construction site ear muffs but they clamp on to your head way too tight.
Any updates on a new product? This is a world wide problem , I can’t believe there is no solution I really can’t, and now Bose have discontinued there sleep bud products… wtf 😢 I had the sleep buds ii, loved them so much then one night woke up and one was missing tipped the bedroom upside down, nothing!…. I’m gutted, you can’t even use one bose sleep bud by itself as both need to be connected to the app 😢🤷🏽♂️
I’m out of this situation now so haven’t been doing any research on updates. I would hope somebody does eventually
Thanks for the video. Is Quieton's ANC worse than Bose QC Earbuds II? Because I have QC Earbuds II for comparison before buying.
Bose Earbuds 2 don't use ANC. They use masking by playing tranquil sounds. I'm hoping they implement ANC on their next version.
@@DarkStoneCastle I believe you are talking about Bose Sleepbuds II. BOSE QC Earbuds II does have high-level, maybe the best ACN on the market.
@@fikaimu Ok, my fault, I misread your question. Yes, I have the Bose QC earbuds 2. That’s what you see in the video. And, no, the Quieton buds ANC is not even close. The Bose gets an A, the Quietons get a D. You can hear the ANC kick in on the quietons. It’s just so weak that it doesn’t block out much of anything.
@@DarkStoneCastle Perfect answer, I am looking for. Thank you.
Bose ANC is SUBSTANTIALLY better than the ANC in the QuietOn.
Yup, sums up my moron neighbors really well. Everything has to be done loudly. They also drop heavy items on the floor (my ceiling). They are animals.
Good job 🤣
Agreed! I used Bose Sleep masking Sleepbuds and I loved them. When the battery died on my Bise and Bose stopped making them, I was In a panic to find a replacement because my husband is a very loud snorer. I researched Sleepbuds and the Quietons were highly rated so I bought them. What a disappointment! They barely cancel any noise at all and I find them uncomfortable.
Have you found any other solution, yet..?
@@hilmiterzi3847 I ordered the Ozlo sleepbuds and I have high hopes that they will be as good as the Bose were but will last longer. Apparently some Bose employees went out on their own and created the Ozlo sleepbuds patterned after the Bose sleepbuds but fixing the issues Bose had. They did crowd funding to get this off the ground so they are a little backlogged right now but I'm hoping I will get them in the next couple of months.
I learned this the hard way, one month in and I am losing my mind. Actually thinking of finding someone to take over my lease and finding an apartment on the very top floor.
So let’s just say you use your normal ANC earbuds and sleep on your back, would you still hear the noise? I’m basically asking if ANC even works in terms of helping you sleep?
No, I would not hear the noise in that situation. Top of the line ANC is awesome!!!
@@DarkStoneCastle how does it do with let’s say sub frequencies? Next door to me sounds like a movie theater on some nights, I’m just skeptical that ANC can block something so loud
Really good ANC works great with sub frequencies. I think you'd be surprised at how well the technology works. The pair of headphones I use that have really good ANC are the Sony WH-1000XM3. I bought them a couple of years ago. They will block out most anything really well.
@@DarkStoneCastle I’m gonna try PNC and then ANC I’ll update you, thanks for the input!
Thanks for the video. I am also having a major problem with noisey upstairs neighbors. It's torture. I was looking at these earbuds. Thanks for the honest review. Won't be buying them. Still looking.
Which Sony ear buds are you referring to? and also is it ideal for side sleepers?
Sony headphones in the video with awesome noise cancelling: Sony WH-1000XM3. Bose earbuds with awesome noise cancelling: Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2. Can't side sleep with either unless you get a special type pillow with a hole in it...which they do sell on Amazon.
@@DarkStoneCastle ahh I see dang it. Anyways what’s the actual name of that pillow with a hole?
@@iAMNinjaDarkovia Pillow with a hole is a dumb solution, we need a technological solution, we need the Quiteon version 100000 with superior noice cancelation, good seal and comfortability
If you are moving all night, from side to side across the hole bed, a pillow with a hole isn't going to be the solution.
Am was on exactly same situlation as you, well ,little bit worse
I have tryed lot of earplugs, and this is the best that suits the noice cancelation:loop earplugs
The problen is that fundamentaly it is impossible to cancel literaly ALL noice, and on the same time makes the side sleeper fell like nothing on their ear, but those earplugs at least is the most suitable that I have benn tryed
The noice problem even make me to focus more on how to get more money so eventually some day on the future I can escape from all these noice shit and be able to have a quiet life
I stay above a pub buddy and it looks like i have quieter life there can be 30 people down the stair and i hear nothing i aggree with you always stay on top floor it is better here above a pub than staying in a apartment block or a rough area . But still its not great hope you get your move
Thanks, I'm hanging in there.
What's ypur sony headphones model? Im interested!
Wh-1000xm3
I have a set but they come out during the night. Any ideas?
Duct tape?
Not sure if that would work
@@patriciastraub7174What are you sure of? 😊
@@DarkStoneCastle nothing is for sure
@@patriciastraub7174 Ok, Socrates.
thank you
One trick i use to sleep with regular headphones is that i use 2 pillows and put headset between them
Hmmm….interesting idea.
how is the ANC compared to the apple air pods pro?
Don't know, never used Apple air pods, but I hear they are of similar quality to the bose so I would think it's safe to say the Air pods have way better ANC over the Quieton 3.1.
Airpods pro are bad. I have a Bose QC15 probably almost 13-15 yrs old and they are awesome. Airpods pro hardly do anything. I have hyperacusis and tinnitus. So I have some unfortunate experience. I bought them for my mum and tried them first. I also get a weird feeling I don’t get from the Bose headphones. They are like an A+ and airpods pro are F. (If anything)
I find the Airpods Pro 2 have really great ANC and I'm very picky...
I'm glad I didn't watch this video. I bought Quiet On and I am very happy.
Not sure why you had such a bad experience, I received my QuietOn 3.1 a few days ago and it's been an absolute life saver. Hopefully you get some relief from the neighbour situation.
0:52 SOOOOOOO PISSSSED 😂😂😂😂
I have the Bose quiet comfort II earbuds (220$) , I have the huge Sony wh-m1000xm4 (360$) and I've just paid 300$ (incl VAT) for these quieton 3 and I must say these are the worst ANC earbuds I bought. Even the soundcore liberty 4NC are far better. The only good quality I see in the quiteOn 3 is their very thin profile. you can really sleep on your side but you hear everything. Every bit of snore ! Dont get me wrong. The foam tips seal very good . (You can hear your voice from the chest). But a simple 2$ silicone swimming ear plugs will do the same noise cancelling job.
Thanks for saving me cash. I'll stick to my white noise
Im that second duy but like half of him okay
I hope you had found a new place at the top floor. I can hear you, i had neighbor like that and it felt like he's living with us, we just did not see him. Thanks for a funny video on a sad subject and also for saving me a lot of money, was considering getting two pairs. Rock on!
Got another month and a half of hell, then I’m free!
Thanks for the review. I think I have found a solution that has the best of both worlds. They make pillows with holes in the center that can be used with ANC earbud like airpods pro, bose, etc. I wanted to let you know since I definitely felt your pain in this video
Hmmmmm…pillows with holes in the middle…sounds interesting…I’ll have to do some research on that…although I’m picky about my pillows…gotta be feather…preferably goose down. Thanks for the comment.
@@DarkStoneCastle you can make holes in your pillows yourself)))
They are so expensive too. Do yourself a solid guys. Soundcore sleep a10 doesn't have noise cancelling but the passive nc is decent and you can play media through them
You need help
True.
I ordered these “noise cancellation” ear buds on January 29, 2023. They didn’t cancel out snoring sounds; the exact reason that I needed them. Thank God I opened the package before the return date had expired. I made the mistake of calling the company (in Finland) 😱which increased my phone bill by $20. I was given extensive instructions on how to return the product, which I followed just as extensively.
I paid the shipping to Finland via USPS which was approximately $18.00. I had to wait for the package to clear customs and be received by Quieton. On March 30, I received an email from Quieton stating; “unfortunately customs is returning the earbuds” to me! (No explanation was ever given for this error). I was told that when I received the package, I should notify the company and then I would receive a FedEx return label.
I received the package from customs on April 11.
I notified the company that I had received the package that same day.
I received the FedEx shipping label
on April 27, and shipped the package to Finland on April 30. On May 15, 2023, my account was credited for the purchase price of the earbuds. The entire time period from purchase to return credit was almost 4 months. It would be helpful for the company to inform the customer that product returns must be shipped to Finland and that the customs process takes a long time.
I hope this helps if you’re thinking about purchasing this product.
do you have to return in the original packaging or can I just send back the earbuds and case? purchased for my vacation my sister is a load snore they do not help currently in the uk so if I can mail them while here might be easier
A wildly mid product provided by an absolute joke of a company. I decided to give these a try because it seemed like they could help drown out a new noisy neighbor and snoring partner who were keeping me up all night. Turns out a $10 8-pack of reusable/moldable silicone earplugs from Amazon work 20x better than these. Anyways, it took Quieton nearly 3 weeks to initially ship my order, and only did when I opened a PayPal claim after they refused to cancel my order. I tried the product and was not at all impressed and decided to return them 1.5 weeks after actually getting them. Quieton made the process excruciating, and wanted me to do endless amounts of troubleshooting even though I made it clear they were working, I just didn't like them (this is apart of their advertised 30 Day Return policy). Their next move to prevent you from returning them is by making you pay out of pocket to ship them back to Sweden, even though the product ships from the US. It cost me an additional $40 just to send them back. They sat in International shipping limbo for over a month, and even after they received them they waited 2 additional weeks before responding to my email asking how long it would take for them to process it. I'm only getting my money back because PayPal closed the claim on my favor. These sound like a great and innovative product on paper, but honestly they're not even worth the $40 I spent to return them. Quieton is a dishonest company that doesn't care about their customers. Please avoid this product/company at all costs.
The price is really ridiculous
Total crap!don’t buy they don’t work!
Hey there, can I get your collab email?
