Loop Switch 2 Adjustable Ear Plugs - 3 Noise Relief Modes for Ultimate Control | Flexible Earplugs for Focus, Travel, Socializing, Festivals & More | 20-26 dB (SNR) Reduction

I’m honestly shocked at how well these work. I went to an EDM concert and it completely saved my ears. Nothing was reallly muffled (maybe slight muffling on the mid and high setting) and having the ability to adjust the intensity throughout the night was great. When we left I had zero ear throbbing or that kind of underwater sensation. They say in the instructions to wear them out to test, rather than try and use at home (I think implied that using your phone or tv wasn’t going to give you a good sense of how they work), which I assumed was nonsense- but it actually does make a difference. They fit really well and overall were comfortable and stayed with minimal fiddling (which was more me than needing to check than anything). Having a nice hard shell carrying case is a nice bonus. I truly hate ear plugs. How they feel how, how muffled everything is, and how they stick out. I’ll basically take the damage and discomfort afterwards over wearing them. I can also never get them to fit properly but I didn’t have any of those issues with these. I really think they’re worth it.

These work surprisingly well for blocking out unwanted sound. When I first got them, I thought they might be a rip off. Notably, they won’t provide complete silence. You would be better off getting foam earplugs if that’s what you want. But the loops are genuinely good at allowing me to hear noises in my proximity while blocking out unwanted noise. For example, my neighbors love playing music extremely loudly in the morning, afternoon, and evening. On the highest setting, they can block out the voices and bass sounds coming through my shared wall. They dull the footfalls of my upstairs neighbor and can block out his voice when he starts shouting while gaming every night. And they’re comfortable enough to wear for several hours. Five stars because this product does what it says it will do. Worth the money, it’s going to help maintain my sanity as I ride out this regrettable lease.

These are perfect for filtering loud voices or the noise of a crowded place. I also like wearing them to vacuum. The gold ear plugs blend in with the gold jewelry I wear in my various ear piercings, so I think I can even wear them to a wedding reception. I have small ears and the X-S ear tips fit perfectly. They're so comfortable to wear. The case is small and slim making it easy to carry. I don't believe that these are suitable to wear at all concerts in Quiet Mode, let alone Experience Mode–especially alternative shows. I think these would be great for nosebleed or lawn seats at any venue. But I would probably pair these with over-ear protection for small venues or if you're standing/seated near a speaker/amplifier. I also think these are overpriced, so I wish I had waited for a sale.

I’m mad that these are good. I was mostly happy with curvd before my dog chewed them and I grabbed some 20$ loops at target. Literally zero complaints about the quality of these ear plugs. I can wear them to dinner and still hear my spouse, and I can wear them at home when my kids and pets are all yowling while I read a book in peace. More comfortable and fall out less than others I have tried. That said, for the price, they could do something about the case. Absolute trash that I would never attach to a bag or keys for fear of losing ridiculously expensive headphones due to shoddy dangly bits. I put these in a curvd or eargasm case. So, on top of spending crazy money on ear plugs, one needs to invest in a more reliable case.

I love the Loop Switch 2 earplugs! I tried not to get my hopes up that these would make a difference in my life before they arrived, but still, I hoped maybe they would - a little at least. I needed SOMETHING to help me at this time in my life. I’ve only had the Loop Switches since April 21, 2025, and I can tell you their impact on my life is significant! I am a neurodivergent working from home with a spouse who also works from home and 2 adult children who had to move back home and who have different work schedules than me, and there are soooo many (often loud and always distracting) sounds and continuous interferences and accidental frustrations in our situation (for all of us). These earplugs help with all of that! I also have misophonia, which compounds my stress *incredibly,* but the relief I am experiencing (while using these earplugs) from NOT having to be subjected to all manner of noises NOT created by me is AMAZING. *Hearing myself chew while using the earplugs took some adjustment,* and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to handle it at all, but I am sticking with the Loop Switch earplugs because the pros outweigh the cons for me personally. Social anxiety while grocery shopping is made nearly nonexistent for me with these earplugs in, which I never could have imagined or believed until I experienced it for myself. Driving with adjustable earplugs seemed like a possible safety hazard, but, the truth is, I can still hear a lot while drowning out stressful extraneous traffic noise, and that alleviates stress for me. I would love to wear them during work all day every day, but wearing them and answering phones is a bit more than I can handle. When I can wear them during work, they definitely help me focus. I am experiencing less noise-related anger with the help of these nicely functional earplugs. I did wear them at a social event last week, and some people mentioned that I seemed “rude” or “disengaged,” because I wasn’t interacting with them as they expected, and I didn’t hear some people who were speaking to me from some distance away. Three things; I originally put the earplugs in because I had a horrific migraine and couldn’t bear the noise at this event I was required to attend, but I was also wearing them so that I wasn’t overwhelmed by people/social anxiety on top of a migraine, AND, yeah, I did retreat into my own little bubble as a result of having less extraneous noise around me because it was easy (and necessary at that time), and I was incredibly grateful for that! But, just know, these earplugs are tiny and can’t be seen by anyone from the front or back of your head, so it’s likely you will get these same types of comments. These earplugs are not cheap, but I feel the reward of experiencing less noise, stress, anger and anxiety is pretty priceless! I have recommended them to my children and truly believe they would benefit from using them. I would recommend them to anyone who is open minded about trying new things that could have a positive impact. I do wonder, though, about the lotions, oils, etc., that I’m transferring from my hands to my ears putting the earplugs in and pulling them out of my ears several times per day. Prioritize cleaning your ears, hands and earplugs if using any earplugs. I’m sticking with Loop Switch 2 earplugs… and, yes, I have tried and daily use all 3 “switches!” (I just opened the one Loop Link I ordered, and it’s fantastic, and I would say a *must-have accessory* for these very tiny earplugs!)

Saw Seether and Daughtry last night in a smaller indoor venue. It was as loud as one would hope for and expect. In the past I would've struggled for a couple days with moderate tinnitus but today my hearing is great. With these, the sound level was pretty uniformly lower, though maybe vocals were hit a little harder, but some reviews of this tour mention general issues with sound, especially vocals. I removed the Loop in one or both ears a few times during quieter times and louder times, and during the louder times I decided about 30 seconds was enough of a test/comparison. I haven't used these enough yet to offer any meaningful feedback about the 3 levels they offer. I can tell a difference testing them in my quiet house when there's TV and traffic and other background noise, but in the concert setting it wasn't so obvious. Comfort was fantastic - it was easy to forget they were there physically. Finally, the tiny little carry case is brilliant - these little dudes are so small they'd easily get lost swimming in a pocket, but the case provide protection and loss resistance without adding a huge amount of bulk. For the nay-sayers who want to criticize hearing protection at loud concerts - it seems that tinnitus is a one-way progressive condition that will really impact quality of life, but many preventive steps are available. I hope to still be enjoying loud concerts when I'm really old, and I also love classical music, so I want to keep hearing the quietest quiet clearly too. This seems like a worthwhile compromise to me.

as a machinist that has sensory issues whenever it comes to noise (and textures) + works in a loud machine shop, these have been an absolute game changer for me! we have some safety plugs that my job provides, but they don’t even TOUCH the quality of these. after switching to the extra small buds, they fit comfortably in my ears, they completely dampen the constant hum of the machines, and if i put them in quiet mode, i can barely hear the air gun that i need to use to blow the coolant off my parts. i was constantly struggling with the amount of noise i was and wasn’t able to filter out, but the adjustable switches on these have made that so, so much easier and better for me on the shop floor. other than my breaks, i pretty much have these in my entire 12hr. shifts and have experienced no discomfort so far in the nearly two months i’ve had them. i know they’re a bit on the pricey side, but trust me, they’re completely worth it!

After comparing these to the Loop Experience 2, I ended up going with these Loop Switch 2, simply because they had a wider range of performance options, for not a whole lot more money, and definitely worth the value! I have had tinnitus for over 30 years (due to a former job exposure issue), which I've lived with for a majority of my adult life. Any exposure to super loud noise can trigger it to be even worse at any given moment - especially prolonged exposure to loud sound, such as in a festival or concert environment. I've sometimes avoided events that might be super fun simply because I was concerned about prolonged exposure to noise, without having to walk around with typical foam plugs sticking out of my ears, which, while protective, muffle sound, music, voices, and make it nearly impossible to communicate by speaking with anyone. My family wanted to attend a recent outdoor concert (we're in FL and it's been very nice here for "winter"), but I was concerned about my ears - the common after-concert ringing in the ears, which many experience, doesn't simply fade away for people with tinnitus, and can permanently make it worse. So I wanted to be able to have fun with my family and enjoy the concert, while also protecting my ears. So I started doing research. After receiving the Loop Switch 2 earplugs, which come with 4 different sizes of the included silicone plugs that go into your ear (size medium is already applied by default, but they are super easy to slide off and change to your liking/fit/comfort), I got into my car, which has an audiophile-quality Mark Levinson sound system (translation: you can play it as loud as you want and there is nothing but amazing, full, LOUD sound, without distortion - a near-perfect testing environment without being at an actual concert or in a sound studio). You simply insert the silicone ear bud into your ear (it does NOT go deeply into the ear like some competitor products!), and twist so that the exposed "loop" gently sits in the bottom of your ear, just behind your bottom lobe. I swear, as someone who absolutely HATES things in/on my ears, these things are SO comfortable (just as so many have described in other reviews)!!! I mean, literally so comfortable you could wear them all day and not notice, with no added ear pressure, no discomfort... nothing negative from wearing them. Full Disclosure: yes, after putting them in, my already-existing tinnitus seemed louder, but it's kind of like when you plug your ears and talk, your voice seems super loud - in fact, that's how Loop describes you know they're applied correctly. So I turned on the music, switching between different types, from classic rock to classical, to country, to heavy metal. The first thing I noticed, across all volumes (not always playing it loud, but sometimes...) was that I could actually HEAR the music! Sure, there was a subtle muffling effect, but unlike foam plugs and other brands, I felt I could hear all the instruments, all the words, everything clearly, while still getting the emotional feel of the warmth, more subtle bass, all the good parts of music, but none of the screeching loudness. I am usually quite skeptical of wild claims of amazing performance, and while these are not powered (no batteries, no charging, nothing, just slip them easily in and enjoy)... I have to say how surprised I was at how clear and understandable the music was at all times. NOW... the Switch 2's are a higher-priced option to, say, the Experience 2's, because the Switch 2's have 3 settings (yes, believe it or not, on those tiny loops, there are 3 detents, or little bumps one can feel by simply sliding the outer portion of the loop ring forward or backward to 1 of 3 distinct stopping points. The first being described as being most appropriate for hearing spoken conversation around you, like talking to your concert-going friends or family, while still protecting your ears. The second being described by Loop as closest to the Experience 2's sound, a little less open, to block a bit more loud highs, while being ideal for listening to loud sound. And the 3rd being closest to Loops other product (I think it's called Quiet), or one of the more muted options, which definitely cuts out more of the highs, and feels a bit more muffled, but definitely still allows for hearing the music pretty well. I actually found it convenient to switch between the 3 settings - without ever having to remove them - during the concert, depending on what type of song was playing, and just how loud the highs or bass was. It was very convenient, and very effective, and I didn't feel like I missed a thing by wearing them (I've been to a number of concerts over the years, but have unfortunately never worn any plugs before, and I've paid the tinnitus price, believe me). The Loop plugs not only are comfortable, they're stylish, and come in multiple colors (I bought basic matte black). Although they never felt like they were going to come out, no matter how many times we were on our feet, I would recommend the silicone "neck connector" (kind of like a glasses holder around the neck), if only because the included case is so tiny, it's difficult to store them back in it for short periods of time (ok, this is kinda gross, but especially if there may be a bit of ear wax on the silicone pads). They are small enough they'd likely get lost in a bag, or maybe end up being dropped on the gross ground. The silicone cord easily slides over the silicone plugs and holds on to the tiny posts just behind where the silicone plugs slide over the post with the filter built in. Honestly, I didn't buy the Loop-branded cord because it was very over-priced. I purchased an identical one on Amazon for less than 1/2 the OEM cord, which also has the same magnetic connectors, to hold them together around your neck when the plugs are hanging around and not in your ears - definitely worth it. Overall, the Loop Switch 2 plugs are amazing, and outperformed even the Loop Experience 2's which I had the opportunity to try - they were also good, but didn't perform to the level they were advertised - very good protection, but for whatever reason the Switch 2's had a more natural, full, warmer sound (listening to the exact same music over and over for comparison), while the Experience 2's... also great... but a bit of a step behind the Switch 2's, with not quite the same warmth and fullness as the Switch 2's. The only reason I'm going with 4 stars instead of 5 is because the case could be improved... a bit bitter, and not like playing Rubik's Cube to get the earplugs back in correctly and quickly), and also because, while there were times I switched between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd settings, there is very little appreciable difference between 1 and 2 (the more open sounds), with 3 being the most muted. Again, not taking anything away from the quality, but seems like that qualitative difference could be a bit more pronounced and appreciated at this price point. Highly Recommend!!!
