walkitoutAs has been the case with the Kokoon in the past, the material to help you figure out how to use it is confusing. And for whatever reason, it won’t pair until it is charged and NOT plugged into the charger.
It ships with the “1” size ear thingie set up, but they give 5. I felt like the volume was really low even with the volume up on the phone (the buttons on the device interact with the phone volume, so that is not a separate option), so I went to the “3” and then the “4”. At that point, they were not falling out of my ear at all (note to self: you should size up in other ear bud type things, because you’ve been wearing the too-small-for-you option). They still felt really quiet, but also, I was getting _really_ good isolation at this point so quiet and isolated is _fine_.
The case is tiny. The device itself is super small. Once you get the hang of it it is pretty simple to use. It feels really stable, altho I haven’t tried to lay down with it.
FWIW, this is a side-sleeper oriented device to help isolate sound and supply sound that might help you sleep. I’ve never used the Kokoon app (this is by no means my first kokoon). This is _so_ _much_ _smaller_ than the original Relax. The Relax was workable and I took it on transatlantic flights because it made a huge difference in my ability to sleep on the plane, but it took up so much space. Since I’ve gone carry-on only all the time, I’ve become absolutely obsessed with shrinking every single thing in my luggage. This is feeling like a winner. Also, the Relax was infamous for hinges breaking. I didn’t have a problem, but A. did, and my friend D. had three break before she gave up on them. I bought an early version of the Nightpods for a friend, but had not tried them for myself.
