Hi @LeoNeedsToSleep I hear what you're saying! So, in your opinion, do you think that the sleepbuds are of no use at combatting/masking/blocking impact noise? I still rely on my foam and wax earplugs to minimize the noise. Thanx, Thomas. @deve52

Hi again, The noise is actually coming from the neighbour, living in the apartment above me. He has hard wooden floors, which means any walking with hard shoes on, will definitely disturb me. Thankx.

Hi @Liam_W Are the Sleepbuds designed to combat/mask/block out impact noise? I live in a flat below another tenant. I have no real issues with airborne noise- music TV etc. It's the impact noise of hard shoes walking on a hard wooden floor, bang windows cupboards doors etc., that keeps me awake at night. It's has been bad enough to make mentally and physically unwell. I'd be ireally nterested in your opinions on this personal perspective on noise disturbance, and the possible role the Sleepbuds could play in mitigating Noise. Thanks, Thomas. @deve52

Hi, Can anyone in the community give me a definitive answer to the question:- Do/Can the Sleepbuds mask/block out Impact Noise? This is the type of noise caused by one hard surface coming into contact with another hard surface, like a shoe on a wooden floor- especially during the night. Many Thanks, Thomas.

Hi,
I've used the sleepbuds twice! Yes, just the two times....I'm using the medium Sleep Stayhear+ tip size, because that's the tip size I use on my QC20's and QC30's. With the sleepbuds comfortably fitted, the external sounds actually become louder!!?? At night, when I first used them, not only was I getting the sound from the buds, but I could still hear my neighbour, living above me, doing his nightly ritual of making a lot of noise! The result was a disturbing cacophony inside my ear- I found it unbearable! Consequently, instead of getting a night's sleep, I had to remove the sleepbuds, and go back to my foam earplugs. I repeated the process again, on another night- again, a very disturbing experience.
I don't think changing the tips will make any difference, because the lack of noise isolation will be the same.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do in this situation? Are there any third party tips, like Comply, that I can buy, which will increase the noise isolation?
If you know anything, anything at all, that might ameliorate my situation, I would be deeply grateful if you could reply to this message.
Cheers,
Thomas.

Hi, @Liam_W I did give the sleepbuds a bit of a test run the other day- yes, during the day. I was a bit dimayed that I could still hear my TV at low volume, with the buds at almost max volume- past the warning level, at least. I read that the sleepbuds work, not by blocking noise out completely, but by using frequencies that 'trick'the brain such that the external, disturbing noise does not register. I really must try experimenting with them soon. Many Thanks, Thomas @deve52

Yeah, I like water sounds too, especially rain types. Most people find the sound of water very relaxing; I must look up the psychology behind it.

Hi, Thanks again for that. I gave the sleepbuds a test run the other day- yes daytime! I was expecting more passive noise isolation, as I could still hear my TV at low volume, even when I had the volume on the sleepbuds up near the top! I've read that the noise masking effect can be subtle, in that it creates just the right frequencies to 'trick' your brain into ignoring the disturbing noise. In other words, you may still hear it, but the technology is such, that it ceases to register in your brain, thus rendering the noise impotent.

Hi again, Yes, I bought the Sleepbuds. I've tried them on a few times, after updating the firmware. I noticed when I used them, I could still hear the TV. I thought that there's no way that these sleepbuds will be suitable for my main purpose- to block out the nightly noise from my neighbour, who lives in the flat above me. I've been using wax and foam earplugs for years now, and I haven't given the sleepbuds a test run yet! I'm not sure there is enough passive noise isolation for the night time. I'd be really grateful if you could give me some advice about the buds. Many Thanks, Thomas.

Hi, Thanks for that. I have a loud neighbour living in the flat above me. I still haven't used my Sleepbuds. I'm so used to foam and wax earplugs, I'm a bit worried they won't work for me- very worried! How do you use your sleepbuds? Is it because of unnecessary noise?

Hi, Took a chance, and purchased the Bose Sleepbuds. What are the best sounds, and settings to block out impact noise (banging of floors, doors, cupboards and windows etc.), from an inconsiderate neighbour, who lives in the flat above me? I previously used a set of foam laser lite, and wax earplugs together in each ear. These were successful at blocking airborne noise (sounds- shouting, TV, music etc.), but, unfortunately, not the impact noise. I want to block the impact noise, which either wakes me out of my sleep, or keeps me awake throughout the whole night. Thanks.

Hi, Is it possible to use the Bose QC20's for sleeping in bed? I sleep on my side (right hand). Is there any way of making the QC20's more comfortable for side sleeping? Cheers, Thomas.

Hi, I have a pair of QC35 headphones, and I love them! Now, I'm looking to buy a pair of Bose ANC in-ear headphones. But which ones? Both the QC30 and QC20, all get rave reviews. Wireless would be preferable, but the quality of the ANC tends to balance towards the QC20's. I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment. By the way, is it okay to connect the QC20's to any decent Bluetooth receiver? Thanks.

Update: done a quick reset this morning..bingo! Everything is fine. Also the firmware update from 1. to 3.0 makes a real improvement on the sound - the vocals are more prominent, the trebles are much clearer, but without any sacrifice to the bass! Being a bass player, I'm very happy with the QC35 update.

I have been using and thoroughly enjoying my QC35's for some time now. Suddenly, this morning I began to hear a background hissing sound- I think it was mostly in the left earcup. There was also a noticeable degradation in the overall sound. I decided to consult the Bose Connect + app(which I hadn't used in a long time). When I opened the app, a firmware update began automatically! So, I waited for that to finish, but the hissing remained the same. I will try a reset. If that doesn't work I will contact Bose support. In the meantime, has anyone experienced this kind of problem with their QC35's? Regards, Thomas.
