Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I didn't buy these for air travel, and I didn't buy them for listening to music. I bought these as an act of desperation. I'm a very light sleeper, and I sleep at odd hours. I also happen to live in a noisy city (Chicago), and in an noisy part of the city to boot. I've been driven to near-madness by chronic sleeplessness. Enter these little earbuds. I was hesitant to spend the money because I didn't think they could possibly do what I needed them to do. I need them to drown out heavy construction noise one floor above me. I need them to drown out the infernal din of four days of Lollapalooza every summer (which takes place just outside my windows). I need them to make the city go away sometimes. Incredibly, they do all of that and do it well (especially when used in conjunction with a white noise app). And unlike NC headphones, they are really comfortable to sleep in. Like I said, life changing.
