Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think that these may have just saved my life. I recently moved to the heart of Seattle from a quaint suburb in California. The apartment that I'm currently living in unfortunately has really thin walls and I can also hear my upstairs and downstairs neighbors. In the daytime the noise doesn't really bother me but it's the night time that gets me. My downstairs neighbor gets home every day around 2 a.m. and without fail he is always on the phone. I tried the silicon, foam and even some weird elastic ear plugs and none of them worked, nothing seemed to be able to drown out this guys vibrating voice. I I am a fairly light sleeper so every time he got home it would wake me up immediately and I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, also note I have to be up everyday at around 7. I was at my very wits end at 5 days straight without any sleep and caved and forked the nearly 300 dollars, I was honestly willing to spend anything to you get a good night's rest. Obviously I was skeptical due to the price point but I read a lot of things and every single article said that these were the best for noise cancellation while trying to sleep and they were right. I can no longer hear what felt like my neighbor's vibrating voice, my neighbor above me walking and slamming things at 6 a.m., or even my boyfriend getting home and walking on the creaky floors; its all drowned out COMPLETELY. I read some of the reviews saying that they didn't last past a year or two so I purchased the $11 Insurance plan. Honestly, I was already spending $250 for the headphones so what's another 11 to ensure that they will always be working within the next four years. Highly recommend!
