My roommate gets home around 1am and I have 8am classes. He's not loud, just awake, and that was enough to wreck my sleep for weeks.

Tried QuietOn first. $230, solid ANC, good at blocking low frequency hum. My issue was no audio playback at all, so falling asleep to anything meant juggling two devices. Fit also came loose on me a few times during the night.

Switched to SomniPods3 maybe six weeks ago. Flatter profile means side sleeping actually works, and the ambient noise blocking handles roommate level sounds fine. Not going to pretend the ANC matches QuietOn on paper, and the case is bulkier than it needs to be, but ngl for shared living it fits better than I expected.

Tbh for the low grade presence noise of a shared apartment, SomniPods3 has been the better call for me.
