Oululainen QuietOn on ollut pari kertaa
aiheena blogissa, ja siihen täytyy jälleen palata, koska jotakin
ikävää on nyt tapahtunut. Amazon-verkkokauppa on nimittäin
keskeyttänyt noiden melua vaimentavien korvatulppien myynnin.
Amazonilla on tiukka linja: mitä tahansa skeidaa siellä ei saa
myydä.
Amazon kertoo seuraavaa:
”This item is currently unavailable
because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our
inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's
described here. ”
Tuote on saanut kohtuulliset
arvostelut, kun huomioidaan, millainen tuote on kyseessä: sen voisi
sanoa olevan Valkeen korvavalojen pikkuserkku.
Kolme tuoreinta arvostelua eivät
mairittele. Korvatulpissa on joko suurta laadunvaihtelua, ne eivät
vain sovellu kaikille, kaikki eivät osaa käyttää niitä oikein
tai ne eivät vain yksinkertaisesti toimi. Olisiko sitten niin, että
ne ”toimivat” parhaiten huonokuuloisilla, joilla on jo muutenkin
alentunut kuulokynnys eli heidän korvissaan on luontaisesti valmiina
20 dB:n vaimennus..?
Do not buy!!!
”The first thing I noticed upon
receiving the product is that the security seal that lets you know
you are receiving a new product was broken and had "fuzzies"
stuck to it. After opening the earplugs, I noticed that in the little
zip bag that contains the extra ear plugs there was an eyelash or
eyebrow hair attached to one of the ear plugs. All of this would lead
me to believe that I received a product that someone else had already
tried and returned. When it comes to the product itself, it
specifically claims that it can block low frequencies like airplanes.
That is the reason i bought these specific ear plugs, but this is not
the case at all. The ear plugs didn't even somewhat muffle the noise.
Save your money and buy a cheaper pair of ear plugs as these are
pretty much useless.”
Regular cheap foam earplugs work better
to block out noise
”Never worked other than a whistling
noise when pushing against ear. Regular cheap foam earplugs work
better to block out noise. What an extreme waste of money!!!!! Really
don't even deserve a star.”
Earplugs kind of work, advertisements
are a lie, and customer service is a joke
”These active noise cancelling
earplugs do a fairly good job at blocking low frequency environmental
noise, however their advertising materials are outright lies and
their customer service is incompetent at best.
First off, the original pair I ordered
were defective, but problems persist even with the functional set.
Both the defective and functional set
make a chopping air sound whenever I moved my head and tried to sleep
with them. And a loud thud sound when you walk with them in.
On the defective set, the right plug
was broken, so it made that chopping air sound (quite loud) even if i
didn't move. Quieton's reply to that was that i was using them wrong.
Yes, they think I don't know how to insert an earplug, even when they
give you a guide.
Needless to say I returned them to
amazon after that and had a new pair sent.
The new pair does not make the chopping
air sound all the time, but it does when you move your head or apply
even the slightest pressure to the plug. So, you can forget about
putting your head on a pillow like it claims.
When I contacted the company again,
they originally wouldn't tell me if it was supposed to behave this
way, or whether i got another defective set. After some pushing they
admitted thats how they work, and i should get a different, "special"
pillow if I wanted to sleep with them. They added that I should have
some noise in the background to drown out the chopping air sound
these things are pumping into my ear canal.
They expected me to buy a pillow, and
to make noise to cover the noise from their ear plugs. As you can
see, their advertisements are flat out lies.
That being said, they do block some low
frequency noise. Although, the defective pair blocked it better.
Strange right?
Additionally, none of the tips fit
comfortably, so they can't be worn for extended periods. However,
since there's nothing else on the market like it, I'm pretty much
stuck with with using Quieton. If there were any other option for me,
I would take it.
Two stars for device since they kind of
do what they're supposed to, zero stars for customer service.”
