QuietOn Sleep - User's Page
This website is dedicated to providing an independant resource of information about the QuietOn Sleep.
Use of this website is free, however if you want to support our work, you can of course support us by ordering something off our webshop.
The microUSB magnetic cables are particually well suited as accessories to the QuietOn Sleep.
Now that the QuietOn Sleep ear buds are being delivered to the users' (including us), there is a mixture of reports on how well they work. Some people are reporting they work perfectly while others are saying that only the passive noise reduction works. So far, no reason has been found why there is such a difference, so we have created a survey to try and identify the reasons.
Please take a few minutes to answer this survey. It is free, does not obligate you to anything and we do not ask for any personal information (not even your name or email). However, please note that if you give your IndieGoGo contribution ID, QuietOn will be able to identify you (but nobody else including us).
The purpose of this survey is to help identify why it works for some and not for others and also to give people an idea of when the units are being delivered.
Gadget Heaven is not related to QuietOn in any way, apart from being backers of two units that we have now received. You can read our story here (we suggest reading it AFTER filling in the survey).
We want these units to work and as gadget experts, we loved the concept of these when we first saw them and ordered them immediately.
QuietOn released a chart in update 32 that demonstrates the effectivness of their QuietOn Sleep earbuds. We used that chart to simulate how effective the ear buds should be as a form of reference. For each frequency, you will hear what it sounds like without QOS for 5 seconds and then how the respective tone should sound like with QOS for 5 seconds. The volume differences are based entirely on the chart and is for reference purposes so that you can determine how well your units are working. The numbers shown on the right are as follows:
Test = Frequency playing in Hz,
P = Passive noise reduction according to chart for respective frequency (red line),
A = Active noise reduction (green line),
dif = Difference between passive and active noise reduction in dB according to chart.
User Survey
If you have already received your QuietOn Sleep, please use them for at least a week and then answer the questions in our survey. The entries are displayed immediately. Please read these instructions first so that your answers make sense:
Serial Number: This number is found in the charging box under where the right earpad is stored. It ususally starts with 19 and is either 9 or 11 digits in length. This number is useful so we can determine if some batches work better than others.
Contribution ID: This is your contibution ID on indiegogo. This is optional, but helps others understand what numbers have been delivered. Please note that QuietOn can identify you with this number. If you wish to remain anonymous to them as well, leave this field free.
Date Received: Please give us the date your QuietOn Sleep arrived in the format: YYYY/MM/DD. Tip: Click on the calendar icon on the right to choose the date more easily.
From: Please state if you received your unit from Finland or Poland.
How well do they reduce noise overall: This is where you can state how well the earpads reduce the noise for you.
* = Does not reduce noise beyond simple ear plugs,
** = A minor noise reduction is noticable,
*** = OK, yet not what you expected.
**** = Good noise reduction,
**** = Excellent noise reduction.
Your answer will help us determine how effective these units really are. This refers to the effectiveness of the passive and active (ANC) noise reduction combined.
* = Does not reduce noise beyond simple ear plugs,
** = A minor noise reduction is noticable,
*** = OK, yet not what you expected.
**** = Good noise reduction,
**** = Excellent noise reduction.
Your answer will help us determine how effective these units really are. This refers to the effectiveness of the passive and active (ANC) noise reduction combined.
How well does the ANC (electronic noise reduction) work?: This is where you can state how well the earpads electronically (beyond just the foam earpads) reduce the noise for you.
* = Does not reduce noise beyond simple ear plugs,
** = A minor noise reduction is noticable,
*** = OK, yet not what you expected.
**** = Good noise reduction,
**** = Excellent noise reduction.
Your answer will help us determine how effective these units really are. This refers to the effectiveness of the active (ANC) noise reduction beyond that of the earpads when switched off with magnets.
How comfortable are the ear pads to wear for sleeping: * = Unwearable, ** = Uncomfortable, *** = OK, **** = Comfortable, ***** = Perfect
Do you have Tinnitus (ringing in the ear): Some people suffer from a hearing problem called Tinnitus that maybe a factor in if it works for you. Please give us details of any relevant hearing problems.
Tinnitus frequency: If you are hearing a constant noise, what is the frequency you are hearing. You can use this website to help determine the frequency.
Comments: Do you have any comments you would like to add that are relevant. Please note that all entries are public, so do not give any personal details.
Once you have checked your entries are correct, click on the "Send" button to add your results. They will be added immediately to the Survey Results page.
