The QuietOn 3 charging case has LEDs on the front to denote the battery charge. I found that claim to be fairly accurate, as I would charge it after four nights of rest. When you're done sleeping, the QuietOn earbuds go into a charging case that the company claims will keep the earbuds charged up for about 28 hours before needing a boost through its USB-C port. Other occasional noises like an audio alarm in the morning were still noticeable, though not as loud. I still noticed it, but the sound wasn't anywhere near as loud.

This was especially good for an express train that goes by at full speed, which the earbuds brought down to more of a hum. The QuietOn buds made a dent in the train sound from the subway line in front of my window, even though they couldn't mask it entirely. On the nights when I did choose to pull the QuietOn earbuds out of my ears, those sounds became instantly noticeable, and were now making it difficult for me to fall back to sleep. Sounds like the wind whipping down the street, the air ventilation in my room and seemingly most car sounds had become unnoticeable - which for the first few nights left me feeling uneasy, as if there was something wrong. Once I got the earbuds to fit and went to bed, I was fascinated that noises I didn't even realize I had adjusted to were suddenly gone. Mike Sorrentino/CNET So quiet, maybe too quiet The QuietOn 3 sleep earbuds come with a variety of foam tips and fit into a charging case.
I needed to use the larger tip size for one ear and a smaller size in the other, which is common for most wireless earbuds with interchangeable tips. QuietOn does provide instructions and a video for finding that fit, which may involve mixing and matching the different sizes to find something both snug yet comfortable. I have similar issues when I try to sleep with rubber earplugs, which also usually fall out of my ears at some point in the night. Other nights I picked ear tips that became too loose and fell out overnight. as I just couldn't stand having them squeezed inside my ear canal nor feeling them while lying on my side. Some nights I found myself taking the earbuds out at 3 a.m. While the QuietOn includes several foam eartips in different sizes, I struggled to find the sweet spot between an effective fit and something comfortable enough that I could tolerate wearing them for an entire night.

But in my experience, it took several nights of trial and error to figure out the best fit to make these work.
Getting a tight seal is critical for any earbud that has active noise cancellation.
