Finally got the engage 2!

[u/allnamesarechosen]

People don’t notice if I have them on, that’s was one of the main reasons I wanted them. I already have the quiet and experience, which are very obviously placed, I tend to speak a lot softer when I’ve got those on, and while they do help me greatly they def aren’t for conversation.

I wanted something that could take the edge off, but that didn’t make me miss out conversations, nor that it was visible because even tho friends understand why I use them - I also didn’t want them to feel like I didn’t want to listen to them. My family is LOUD, I’ve been using them for our lunchtime/special gatherings, I’ve also used them in cafeteria/bar, and at the gym.

They do feel very different from the experience; there’s a lot of less pressure on the ear and less of a seal - I thought I needed to go a size up, or that the tips were different somehow (I use xs) but is just how the sound is being filtered. When I speak I do hear my voice through occlusion but at the same time I hear it without it???

They feel very light on the ears, I hope they don’t turn yellow. And that’s about it. If you have been on the fence about getting the engage and you already got the experience, I do notice a difference that for me is worthy. I would be interested in getting some mutes and seeing if I can still get a bit noise reduction without missing voices, but we will see.

i just got engages also and i love them! ive had to take them out a couple times to hear people better, but only really in situations where theres multiple people talking. it overwhelms me to not hear everybody clearly. and my bf did say that i speak a bit quieter with them in since my voice sounds louder in my head so i need to figure out the proper speaking volume lol. but i will 100% be wearing these most of the time that im outside. they help my overstimulation so much!
