The item is still expensive for what it is I think. But I do think they improved the product from its predecessor, as it’s now much easier to clean. Great improvement. I use it for snore protection and it stays in my ear 95% of the time.

There were so many loop designs and levels I got confused. I just went with these for everyday and hopefully they will do well enough at the occasional bar or show.
I have loud neighbors in my apt constantly. Plus screaming kids. These work good. Now if all the young adults/parents would stop smoking skunk life at home would be 75% improved!

Absolutely love the loops. My husband has used them to help catch sleep with our very noisy newborn sharing the bedroom. While it can super annoying when he ignores all sounds, it is a testament to the effectiveness of the loops. Only drawback: the food grade loops are able to be sanitized, but the case is not. We had a situation that needed cleaned with the product and the loops survived the sanitation but the case melted.

Bought these for personal use and as a gift for my sister, and we both absolutely love these. I primarily use mine at sporting events and concerts (husband is in MMA/BJJ, lots of yelling and loud music). These allow me to have conversations with people, hear what’s going on clearly, but not to the point where my ears are begging for help.
I’ve noticed headaches are less likely to occur after using these in loud environments than not using them. I’m not sure if it’s a placebo effect or a real consequence of using them, but WAY worth it for me. Before, I might as well have had stock in Advil.
Super comfy, super functional, and easy to always have on you. I have it on my keys, and my sister has hers in her go-bag. Worth every penny!

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!!!

I love these. I use them for when I go to the movies to protect my ears and they really help. I keep a pair in my purse in case I end up needing them for something else.
I have small ears so I really appreciate the different size plug options they include. They fit so much better than the disposable ear plugs or foam ones.
They are super comfy too and clean easily.
Thinking about getting a pair as a gift for my mom to protect her hearing on planes.

These earplugs offer a range of sizes. It masks the sound of loud chewing and background noise well but isn’t perfect. Never slept in them but assume they would work well. Protects ears from noises.

I have subtracted a point because the last time I took it, I started coughing a lot to point that I almost throw up. Its like I started having a taste of thyme and it was just so hard to manage. It really affected my sinus . So be careful with this. I am not sure why it did not work for me.
