QuietOn

These sleek ear buds use active noise cancelling technology to essentially erase background noise. Built-in microphones pick up ambient noises, and then create a 180-degree wave that normalizes them. But you can still hear high-frequency sounds you need to, like people talking to you or an alarm.

The slim in-ear design is comfortable and easy to operate—no confusing settings or buttons—and lends you a bit of quiet in places like a bustling office, or while traveling.

Co-Founder Janne Kyllönen had his a-ha moment to create QuietOn—where else?—in the middle of a busy airport. His solution helps to make a peaceful bubble, wherever you are.
