Finally Sleeping Through the Night, Seriously Life-Changing for Me
I did not like these at first. I knew would take time to get the right fit, but had quite a few nights waking from ear pain. That was with the silicone buds, the memory foam that they list as "not as comfortable" is far more comfortable for me. Once I got the fit right, these have been life changing. And I do mean that, and will explain - I work on a ship, which is running 24/7, and full of inconsiderate @sssholes. Working night shift and sleeping during the day? People will slam door, yell in hallways, etc. Add in loud PA announcements on top of that. According to my Oura ring, I was getting woken an average of 10 times a night/day. 5.5-6 hours broken sleep a night. I was miserable, always tired, in a job where being tired and unaware is horribly dangerous. Try as I might, the inconsideration of others never got better. For awhile I managed with silicon earplugs and a manta sound mask, along with white noise. Still would get woken up. Brought these A30s out, figuring even some ear pain was worth it. After a few nights I got the fit right and getting 8 hours sleep a night. I don't wake with ear pain, sometimes a tiny bit of soreness.The battery life is good enough, be nice to be better. I find that once I get to my room I want to put these on, as I am then in my own world, with calming rain sounds. If I get 8 hours sleep, these have 10% battery left when I wake up. Id prefer longer so I could have a chill, quiet morning before the sounds of chaos wreck my mood.The ANC is actually really good. Those that complain did not give it time. Obviously if you do not have a good fit, you wont get as much noise cancelation, but the ANC starts minimal and increases over next few minutes. I think its learning the noises and slowly adjusting. I keep a fan running at night, and when I just put the buds in I can hear it, but after a few minutes, its cancelled out.Sound quality? I don't have the sound very high but sounds good to me. Very clear. These are meant for sleeping, not raging out to some metal while lifting weights.These do track your sleep, I don't know how accurately it does thought. I would compare with Oura Ring, but my sleep was so bad I got rid of my ring cause I only saw disappointment. The issue with the sleep tracking is you need to connect to the earbuds to open that part of the app.App isn't all that great in my opinion. I have not tried any of the sounds in the app, it uses Calm though. I can't speak for how it gets rid of snoring, or much of the options. There is an option to have the music turn off once you fall asleep, that one irritated me, as it got turned on somehow and I woke up 30 minutes after falling asleep and couldnt get music playing through the earbuds. Played out phone speakers instead. Trying to sort that out while half asleep not so fun. I learned to check the settings before sleep. I just use it to play continuously, then put on a 2 hour playlist of sleep sounds, and it keeps the ANC going after music stops.One other minor complaint is the foam buds they say are consumable, yet they only sell full set. Would be nice to sell a set of one size so you dont have to buy a set of all sizes just to get the size you want. Also, not sure how long the foam will last but been a month and still look new.I am a side sleeper, which probably helps some of you out. If you arent a side sleeper, these would be insanely comfortable. As a side sleeper expect to play around with sizes, and know that what seems comfortable testing may not be comfortable sleeping. Im stubborn and know I have big ear holes, but shockingly after plenty of sizing I found smaller ones worked better.I would give 4 stars, due to the app and some small annoyances, but these have been so life altering, I cannot give less than 5 stars. These have helped me so much, I'm tempted to get a second pair as a backup as I couldn't go a night onboard without these now.Ver másVer menos
