The case has magnets so the earplugs easily lock into place for charging. It’s one of my favorite aspects of Hush.
Since each Hush earplug works wirelessly, you’ll get a solid eight hours of life from each charge. When you need to recharge, just put them back in their case in the morning. (You recharge the case with USB.)
The Hush earplugs come with a variety of different tips in different sizes. Some were too big for me, but I found smaller earplugs that fit just fine.
Now here’s what makes Hush’s earplugs “smart.” Thanks to the free Hush app, you can use your earplugs to play soothing sounds to fall asleep, or morning alarms that won’t disturb your partner.
Overall, I enjoy using Hush, but I haven’t used them consistently. They’re helpful for falling asleep, but they always manage to fall out of my ears during the night — I wonder if I’m unconsciously swiping at my ears while I sleep because I feel a foreign object in there.
My other issue with Hush is its ability to play sounds. Hush provides an excellent variety of soothing sounds, from waterfalls to brooks to different types of rain sounds and more. But for some reason, you have to download each sound before you can play it — which sometimes takes more than a few minutes — and you can only download and keep one sound at a time.
If you want another sound, you have to download it, and you lose the download of the other sounds you’ve previously played. It’s pretty annoying.
