  • All-day comfort
  • Protects attention
  • Built for focus

Quiet that sharpens your mind.

Noise makes it harder to concentrate, think clearly, and stay in control of your attention. Mono Q1 reduces the distractions that break focus, helping you settle into deeper work, gain more clarity, and stay centred in busy environments. Comfortable, discreet, and designed for all-day wear, Q1 gives your mind a quiet space you can carry anywhere. 

Why Mono Exists

Mono was created after years of working in noisy offices, shared spaces, and home environments where focus was constantly interrupted. Headphones helped sometimes, but music, lyrics, and repetition often became distractions of their own. Mono exists to reduce everyday noise without adding more to think about.

And if you're interested to learn more about how Mono was born, see 'The Mono Story' in the Menu.

How Mono Q1 Supports Focus

Noise forces the brain to constantly reorient, breaking concentration and draining mental energy.

Mono Q1 reduces the distractions that pull attention off task, making it easier to settle into deeper work, maintain clarity, and stay focused for longer periods of time.

Comfort & Fit

Mono Q1 is made from soft, skin-friendly silicone and designed for long-wear comfort.

Four ear tip sizes are included to help you find a secure, comfortable fit that feels natural throughout the day. When fitted correctly, Q1 stays discreet and comfortable even during extended work or study sessions.

Q1 is also reusable and easy to clean. Simply rinse with water, allow to dry, and store in the case when not in use. Designed for everyday wear, Q1 is built to be used again and again.

Noise Reduction

Mono Q1 is designed to reduce everyday background noise and distractions commonly found in offices, shared spaces, cafés, and travel environments. Based on supplier testing, Q1 can achieve noise reduction of up to 25 dB when fitted correctly.

Actual experience may vary depending on fit, environment, and ear shape.

What's in the box

Each Mono Q1 set includes one pair of earplugs, a compact protective carry case, and four interchangeable ear tip sizes (XS, S, M, L) to ensure a comfortable fit.

Noise isn't just distracting. It's damaging.

Modern environments are filled with constant background noise: traffic, voices, movement, devices. Research consistently shows that this kind of low-level, intermittent noise makes it harder to concentrate, interrupts deep thinking, and reduces the quality of mental work.

A major study in Barcelona found that children exposed to higher levels of traffic noise showed slower cognitive development and poorer attention performance.

Similar findings across workplaces and schools show that noise doesn’t just annoy us - it fragments attention and increases mental fatigue.

When your brain is forced to constantly re-orient to sound, focus becomes harder to sustain, and output becomes worse.

Noise measurably degrades focus and performance.

Across workplaces and learning environments, research consistently shows that background noise reduces attention, increases mental errors, and lowers the quality of cognitive output.

15%

Exposure to acoustic distractions in open office environments resulted in a ~15% decline in cognitive performance on tasks requiring sustained attention and memory recall. 

23%

In a Barcelona noise study of 2,700 students, for every 5dB increase in traffic noise, working memory was 11% slower, and complex memory was 23% slower.

99%

99% of participants in a workplace study reported that workplace noise impaired their concentration, especially phone rings and background speech. 

If noise affects developing minds, it affects working ones too.

The brain doesn’t become immune to distraction with age. Adults exposed to constant background noise show reduced working memory, slower task switching, and higher stress levels during focused work.

Whether you’re studying, working, reading, or creating, noise forces your brain into a state of constant alert - pulling attention away from the task that matters.

Focus often isn’t about willpower. It’s about environment.

And Mono gives you the ability to control that environment.

Enter: Mono Q1.

Mono Q1 is designed to reduce the everyday background noise that breaks concentration, without just isolating you from the world or pumping music into your ears.

It softens the constant sound that pulls your attention off task, helping your mind settle into deeper, calmer focus.

No technology, apps, or batteries.

Just quiet, which is where clarity begins.

Reduce inputs. Improve outputs.

Mono Q1 is intentionally designed to soften distraction without isolating you from your surroundings. By reducing background noise that competes for attention, your mind stay steady clear and focused across long sessions of work or study.

It's not about just blocking the world out, it’s about creating the conditions for better thinking.

Mono vs Alternatives

Most noise solutions weren’t designed for focus. They either block too much, demand technology, or become uncomfortable over time. Mono is built specifically to reduce distraction and protect attention in everyday environments.

Protects attention from everyday noise.

Enter deep focus faster.

Didn't know how much noise drained me.

I did not think the intermittent background noise around my work and home offices affected me that much until I tried Mono. Everything now feels calmer when I’m working. Subtle but genuinely effective. I did not think the intermittent background noise around my work and home offices affected me that much until I tried Mono.

I hesitated because of the price, i shouldn't have!

I’ll be honest, I thought these were expensive for earplugs. But, after a week of using them while working from home, I get it. They’re not about blocking everything out, because if I wanted to do that I'd put noise cancelling headphones on and blast music. They just help me stay focused in a simple and quite unique way.

Focus without just isolating

What I like most about Mono is that it does not just completely shut the world out. I can still be aware of what’s going on around me, but the constant background noise doesn’t pull my attention away. Perfect for long work sessions at home or in my office.

Changed the game for studying

Libraries aren’t quiet anymore. These help me concentrate without having to just wear headphones all day, which ironically ends up distracting my half the time because of the lyrics and/or music fatigue. I can actually sit and study for longer without it feeling like a battle. Libraries aren’t quiet anymore.

Surprised Me

Didn’t expect much. I just wanted something to take the edge off noise in cafés (laughing, cars driving, general traffic). But I end up using these almost every day now. Very comfortable, don’t feel weird wearing them. Didn’t expect much. I just wanted something to take the edge off noise in cafés (laughing, cars driving, general traffic).

They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours and don’t look awkward. I use them in the office, and while reading. Love the design. I wouldn't dream of walking around with foam earplugs in lol.

Mono has made it easier to get to that sweet spot of focus. The constant background noise just fades into the... background (forgive me for the pun).

Changed the game for studying

Libraries aren’t quiet anymore. These help me concentrate without having to just wear headphones all day, which ironically ends up distracting my half the time because of the lyrics and/or music fatigue. I can actually sit and study for longer without it feeling like a battle. Libraries aren’t quiet anymore.

Surprised Me

Didn’t expect much. I just wanted something to take the edge off noise in cafés (laughing, cars driving, general traffic). But I end up using these almost every day now. Very comfortable, don’t feel weird wearing them. Didn’t expect much. I just wanted something to take the edge off noise in cafés (laughing, cars driving, general traffic).

Hard to describe..

I’ve tried noise cancelling headphones and hated how isolating they felt. This is different. It just softens everything. Hard to explain, but my brain feels less tired.

Works for real life

Kids, calls, background noise all adds up. This doesn’t make things feel artificially silent, but it helps me stay in flow when things around me get busy. Kids, calls, background noise all adds up.

Earplugs that don't look ridiculous.

They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours and don’t look awkward. I use them in the office, and while reading. Love the design. I wouldn't dream of walking around with foam earplugs in lol.

Made work easier

Mono has made it easier to get to that sweet spot of focus. The constant background noise just fades into the... background (forgive me for the pun). I didn’t realise how much that mattered until it was gone. Mono has made it easier to get to that sweet spot of focus.

Didn't know how much noise drained me.

I did not think the intermittent background noise around my work and home offices affected me that much until I tried Mono. Everything now feels calmer when I’m working. Subtle but genuinely effective. I did not think the intermittent background noise around my work and home offices affected me that much until I tried Mono.

I hesitated because of the price, i shouldn't have!

I’ll be honest, I thought these were expensive for earplugs. But, after a week of using them while working from home, I get it. They’re not about blocking everything out, because if I wanted to do that I'd put noise cancelling headphones on and blast music. They just help me stay focused in a simple and quite unique way.

Questions? Answered.

Mono Q1 is designed to reduce everyday background noise that interferes with focus. It’s built for work, study, reading, and other situations where clarity and concentration matter, not for complete silence or industrial noise protection.

Headphones are great for listening to music, but they’re not always ideal for sustained focus.

Music, podcasts, and even ambient tracks still introduce sound that your brain has to process. Lyrics, rhythm, and variation compete for the same attention you need for thinking, reading, and problem-solving. Over time, this can increase mental fatigue and make deep focus harder to maintain.

Mono takes a different approach. Instead of adding more sound, it reduces the background noise that breaks concentration in the first place.

For many, focus improves not by masking noise with more noise, but by removing it in the first place.

Most earplugs aim to block sound entirely, whilst looking out of place in doing so, while headphones introduce more sound (often a distraction in itself) and technology.

Mono Q1 is designed specifically for focus - softening distracting background noise without isolating you from your environment or requiring batteries, apps, or setup.

Yes. Mono Q1 is designed to reduce distracting background noise, not simply eliminate all sound. You’ll remain aware of your surroundings while experiencing a calmer, more focused environment.

Mono Q1 is designed for extended wear. The soft silicone tips and lightweight form are intended to feel discreet and comfortable during long work or study sessions.

Comfort can vary slightly from person to person, which is why multiple tip sizes are included.

Mono Q1 works best in everyday environments such as:

  • Offices and shared workspaces
  • Studying or reading
  • Commuting and travel
  • Cafés and public spaces

They are not designed for heavy machinery, concerts, or medical use.

Yes. Mono Q1 is reusable and easy to clean. Simply remove the ear tips and rinse them with water. Make sure all parts are fully dry before use.

Orders are typically processed within 1–3 business days. Delivery times vary by location, and all orders are shipped with tracking so you can follow your delivery once it’s on the way. To manage expectations, deliveries typically arrive within 4-10 business days.

We offer a 100-day money-back guarantee.

If Mono Q1 isn’t right for you, you can return it within 100 days of delivery in accordance with our returns policy.

Mono Q1 may be suitable for older children due to the inclusion of multiple ear tip sizes, which allows for a more secure and comfortable fit across a range of ear shapes. Some may choose Mono to help reduce everyday background noise in environments like studying, reading, or travel.

As with any in-ear product, fit and comfort can vary, and we recommend adult supervision and discretion when considering use for children. Mono Q1 is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.

Stop letting noise decide how well you think.

Finding the right level of quiet is personal. That’s why every Mono Q1 comes with a 100-day money-back guarantee. Use it in your real environment - at work, while studying, or during daily life, and decide if it’s right for you.
