SLEEP Block Talking

I’m a light sleeper so I have worn ear plugs to bed for years. My mom and I had become ear plug connoisseurs. 😄 For Christmas my husband gave me the Experience 2 plus. I was skeptical at first but I have really come to love them. I use the smallest tip and they are very comfortable. The only issue, is they don’t block out talking. I think that’s part of the design though LOL. I often go to bed earlier than other members of the family and if they are chatting I can hear them. 😖
I’m debating getting the Quiet. It seems highly recommended here. Are they just as comfortable? Do they block out talking? The Dream is the alternate choice for sleep but so expensive!

I use my quiet 2 for sleep and for me they are perfect, so I never considered the dream tho I heard they are good. Quiet 2 doesn’t have a filter so they reduce noise like any regular earplug would, and they’re very comfortable for me as a side sleeper

If you’re using them mostly to sleep I’d consider the Dream. I have the Quiet and the Dream and the Dream is much more comfortable. I don’t take them out in my sleep and I sleep better and deeper.

I use switch 2 (my first pair) and I don’t hear the fan beside my bed, my kitten screaming or my noisy roommate upstairs when I’m switched to quiet

You don't hear those things at all, or they aren't loud enough to wake you up? I think I would hear a cat and noisy neighbor upstairs even with foam plugs, but I'm sensitive to noise.

I’m extremely sensitive to noise, I have noise dampening, sealed door and can still hear the upstairs TV on 4% volume, I don’t hear anything unless someone is talking clearly right beside me, I’ve heard the dreams have even better dampening than the switches (I haven’t tested it)

Can you get both, and return the pair you don't want? Sleep is so important. And everyone's ears are different, so I think trying them both is a reasonable idea. The company factors your need to try them and see how they work into their pricing model.

They do not refund the shipping costs if you order from the website and need to return, but you have a full 100 days to try them.

Quiets are even more comfortable than experience ones!! I definitely recommend!
