# Sleep-Enhancing Earbuds QuietOn Launched its 3.1-Edition Earbuds with an Improved Design By Colin Smith | Published 2022-11-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quieton-31 References: [zdnet](https://www.zdnet.com/article/quietons-new-sleep-earbuds-will-comfortably-block-out-your-neighbors-holiday-parties/) & [quieton](https://quieton.com/shop/quieton-3-sleep-earbuds/)  QuietOn launched the 'QuietOn 3.1,' a mid-year refresh of the brand's previous [sleep-focused earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-me-buds), the 'QuietOn 3.' The 3.1 improves on the design of the 3 in a few major ways. Firstly, the 3.1 features a lighter-weight design than its predecessor, allowing the earbuds to be less noticeable and less of a burden while sleeping. Despite the lighter weight, these earbuds have improved [active noise cancellation (ANC) functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen), and have a more ergonomic fit that better compliments a wider range of ear shapes. The earbuds combine ANC with ear-sensing technology that emits a slight amount of [white noise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/somnibuds) to compensate for any gaps between the earbuds and the ear that could allow for noise to seep in. This creates the true sound of nothing that is intended to help even the most restless of consumers get a good night's sleep. The QuietOn 3.1 ANC sleep earbuds are available now for $289.99 USD.
