QuietOn 4

badbunny2222 3mo

Soundcore Sleep A30

badbunny2222 3mo

i have these, thinking about buying the other ones

badbunny2222 3mo

they are quite good

badbunny2222 3mo

ok, checked the reviews on this one and they are bad

Here are the key takeaways about QuietOn 4 Sleep Earbuds:
Major Problems:

~35-40% suffer chronic charging failures - earbuds die within weeks to 2 years, with right earbud failing most often
Company bankrupt (June 2024) - warranty support collapsed, customer service unresponsive, refunds impossible for many
Trustpilot 2.7/5 from 498 reviews - extremely polarized: 38% give 5 stars, 42% give 1 star
$250-289 price - many users say $5 foam earplugs work better

What Works:

Exceptional 28-hour battery life - 3-4 nights per charge, 80+ hours total with case
World's smallest ANC earbuds - 11mm long, 2.4g, genuinely tiny
Good for low-frequency noise - traffic, AC hum, airplane engines, mild snoring
Back sleepers generally satisfied - comfortable for all-night wear when not pressing on pillow

What Doesn't Work:

Fails at high-pitched snoring - physics limitation of ANC technology above 1kHz
Side sleepers struggle - hard plastic shell causes ear pain for ~40% of users
Poor for voices/conversation - ANC ineffective at higher frequencies
Non-replaceable batteries - entire unit becomes e-waste when batteries fail at 2 years

Bottom Line:
High-risk purchase with ~60-70% chance of disappointment through either defects, ineffectiveness for your noise type, or comfort issues. Only consider if you're a back sleeper with low-frequency noise problems and can afford to gamble $250.

Why do you need anc buds to sleep?

paul040 3mo

Aer Travel Kit 2 X-Pac

badbunny2222 3mo

it blocks noise better

badbunny2222 3mo

looks small, can you wash it?

badbunny2222 3mo

i feel like you need something that you can throw into a washing machine

badbunny2222 3mo

cuz they all start to smell bad after a while

chrisnatterer 3mo

I don’t see why you couldn’t. They are built very well. It holds all my essentials, minus electric razor

bohdandrozdov 3mo

I have Loop ear plugs and I love them

paul040 3mo

I highly doubt that

noelly 3mo

badbunny2222 3mo

yes

noelly 3mo

Laser Lite LL-1 - been using them for years..

I tried the Soundcore A30 buds out, and they are not ready for prime time - the software is poor, battery life doesn't really last the whole night. They have a weird bug where randomly they will play a high volume, high pitched feedback noise, (yes can happen while you are asleep). They tried to ship a couple fixes, but nothing since then, and now I've seen them on sale for up to 40% off, so seems like they might be trying to clear out stock. I'd wait for a gen 2 before trying them out.

i have them they don't have any of those problems

badbunny2222 2mo

they have like a 70h battery life or some shit

badbunny2222 2mo

anyone have recommendations for something to carry medical stuff

badbunny2222 2mo

like it's a plastic bag in my laugage but i'm not too happy with that solution

tonyd 2mo

The case has great batterylife (days), the buds themsleves can't make it a night with ANC on.

What kind of medical stuff? I have a small red packing cube that I use for med stuff - pills, couple band aids, and what not. Been using it for about 8 years now. I use some old pill bottle in it to store small items, mixed quantities of random meds vs multiple bottles.

badbunny2222 2mo

In my experience they had enough power to go through a whole day

badbunny2222 2mo

Yeah like a packing cube or something

Not cheap, but I bought this bag after working with the designer to create a nomad bag: https://www.cargowerk.com/bags/p/berliner-daily-tech-travel-backpack

I'm still changing a few minor details like the exterior nylon strap netting changed for elastic thread

I have the Minaal but prefer this new bag now
