Loop Switch 2 Adjustable Ear Plugs - 3 Modes for Ultimate Control

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!)

I recently used these on a long-haul flight and overall came away pretty impressed. The biggest benefit for me was cutting down the constant ambient airplane noise without completely disconnecting from everything around me. They made the cabin noticeably more comfortable and less mentally exhausting during the flight. The adjustable sound levels ended up being my favorite feature. Being able to switch between different levels depending on the environment was much more useful than I expected and made them feel more versatile than standard earplugs. Material and build quality also felt good overall. The silicone tips felt soft and flexible rather than stiff or irritating, and the earplugs themselves felt well made without feeling overly bulky. That said, after several hours I did start to notice them and eventually took them out for a while. I’m also not someone who regularly wears earplugs, so I think part of that is simply getting used to having something in your ears for extended periods. I could see comfort improving over time with more use. Pros * Great for reducing ambient airplane noise * Adjustable sound levels are genuinely useful * Comfortable soft silicone material * Well made and feels durable * Helps make long flights less draining Cons * Can become noticeable after several hours of wear * Takes some adjustment if you are not used to earplugs * Not the same as full active noise-canceling headphones Final Thoughts Overall, these worked really well for travel and did exactly what I wanted them to do. The adjustable noise control makes them stand out from basic earplugs, and they were especially helpful on a long flight. Not perfect for all-day continuous wear yet for me personally, but I can see them becoming more comfortable with regular use. Who It’s For Great for travelers, commuters, concertgoers, or anyone who wants to reduce noise without fully blocking the world out like traditional noise-canceling headphones.

Love them! I can definitely hear the difference between the three modes. Usually silicon plugs and headphones fall out of my ears, but these stay in! I picked the smallest tips. I use them for my misophonia, cause I can’t stand the sound of forks scratching plates. It helps a lot, and I can still hear people around me. I used them for a concert as well, but I ended up taking them out on my favorite songs, cause the sound was a bit plain even on the loudest mode. But it definitely helped a lot when the music got super loud, I felt like my ears were protected.

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’ve been debating getting a pair of loop earplugs since they first came out, but finally bit the bullet during prime week when they were cheaper. They are fantastic! I am very noise sensitive and sensory sensitive. These were comfortable and they reduce noise amazingly! It’s very easy to switch between modes, and I notice a huge difference between the modes. That being said they are a noise reducer and not noise cancelling, so some people who aren’t sensitive to noise may not feel the difference. My two problems with them are first the ear tip sizes. I am in between sizes so they do not stay in while I am sleeping. I will wake up with them right next to my head though. They stay in while I’m falling asleep though which is what really matters. The second is the case. As others have mentioned before the case is tiny and kind of confusing to put back in, so it would cool for a magnetic component to come out with later models.

After 2 full weeks of use I am obsessed. With 3 young boys who are constantly loud, these have saved me!! They are so much easier to use than traditional earplugs that you have to squish and wait to expand in your ears. I have used earplugs for years. I have had my hearing checked because certain environments and sounds hurt my ears more than an average person. I have far above average hearing for all tones. These earplugs have helped me prevent getting overstimulated. I have far more patience when my ears aren’t in pain from the noise. The adjustable sound blockage is awesome!! I was skeptical but it really works. On the open setting I can still talk and hear the other person respond. I can also still hear videos or calls on my phone. When using the full block setting they are more like traditional earplugs that really block the sound more. These come with 4 sizes of adjustable ear inserts. I am using size small. The large size is great for blocking out loud machinery (like using a metal grinder.) the instructions say the bigger the size the better the sound blockage. Did not realize they came with a case!! (Description probably shares that but I missed that.) That is a huge bonus! I can easily keep them in my pocket or toss them on my keys (there is a loop at the top to allow for this). I highly recommend these for those who need sound dampening and blockage, especially if you have sensory processing disorder!

its a great product over all I have very very small ears, and aches actually chronically , and I was concerned about having ear aches. which so far it doesn’t seem to hurt me, the XS is actually very small which is good the sound quality is okay, but I would’ve been happy to be able to hear more on the engage and experience modes, they also seem to change too easily when placing them in. the carrying case is pretty small, I would’ve apprised if it came with a little keychain so it doesn’t get lost. I do love that it is analog and doesn’t require any charging, I am going to try and pair it with an ANC headset and see if it can reduce the buzzing noise that ANC creates, if you have some level of Tinnitus you would hear the buzz/woosh more tho I have a feeling that each model may be more effective by itself than the switch, but maybe I am just influenced by the hype around loop earplugs, because at the end of the day they are earplugs

These definitely sound somewhat better (not greatly better) than foam earplugs; a bit less of a muffled experience. Being a rigid in-ear thing with a silicone fitting pad (or whatever you want to call it), it will be either more or less comfortable, depending on the shape and size of your ear canals. I've never been fond of devices of this sort (including in-ear earbuds versus that kind that stay out of the ear canal itself), but I was able to manage with these without as much discomfort as I feared. Getting a good and lasting fit in one ear was a bit of a challenge (I think my ear canals are not entirely consistent with each other), so I may have to try a different size of silicone widget in that one ear. I did not play around with the sliding adjusters on these yet. I have them both set at the middle setting, and was enjoying the show I was at too much to remember to try the other variations. Anyway, the result was clearer highs, and less "muddy" bass. I was able to hear conversation a bit better than with foam earplugs, too (or some all-silicone one's I've tried. However, these things are not magical, and the sound isn't "amazing" or anything else superlative. It's still a thick obstruction in your ear and produces plenty of sonic distortion, just noticeably less than cheap foam alternatives. Are these worth the price? It's hard to say. Probably depends on your priorities. I'm not sorry I got them, though the price was higher than I would have liked, and honestly seems high for what these are. Aesthetically, I really don't care for these ring-shaped "jewelry" looking doodads. Pretty cheesy. But I was willing to put up with this somewhat tacky look given the frequency with which these in particular have been recommended for "discerning concert-goers".

Exactly what I need to help with overstimulation. Working well so far.

Maravilhoso atendeu todas as expectativas.

Ho già un paio di loop quiet 2 che sono comodissimi per dormire ma sono troppo isolanti da usare di giorno. Ho preso questi che sono adattabili alle varie situazioni che si incontrano di giorno e ho in previsione anche un concerto affollato dove spero saranno l’asso di briscola. Non so come funzionino tecnicamente la regolazione fa davvero la differenza ed è come avere 3 tappi di diversa “potenza” in 1 solo. Per il giorno sono imbattibili! Per la notte rimarrò con i miei loop quiet 2 che hanno la scocca morbida e dormendo su un lato sono comodissimi. Questi hanno la scocca rigida e se ci si appoggia su un lato della testa si fanno sentire. Ho preso anche un altro cordino per evitare di perderli perché anche se sono belli saldi con il gommino della misura giusta, per le situazioni dove ci si muove molto (come i concerti) meglio eccedere con la prudenza. Ultima nota, questa edizione limitata ha un colore cangiante molto bello!

Si vives en un lugar ruidoso, escuchas los ronquidos del vecino, la puerta del ascensor cuando tu vecino va a pasear al perro a las 3 de la madrugada y te despierta, creo que estos tapones son para ti. Y sí, vivo en una gran ciudad, mucho tráfico, y la paredes del edificio parece que son de celofán porque se escucha todo (literal... en fin). Dormir se ha convertido en un acto de fe, ruidos a todas horas: tráfico, claxon, alarma. La tele del vecino y su flamante 5.1 viendo Misión Imposible 8 (gracias por compartir). También trabajar es algo complicado, bien si estás en una oficina: ruidos, teléfonos, tu compañero que chilla haciendo una llamada, el comercial que se pasea con el móvil y te despista. Puedes usar tapones de silicona (que no nos engañemos, van bien) o puedes usar estos Loop. Que son la leche. Si decidí elegir estos Loop es por los tres modos de "transparencia". Cada tapón permite elegir el nivel de ruido exterior que escucharemos. Y sí, funciona. Se nota. Dispone de una ruedecita donde la giras y eliges entre el nivel de dB que bloquea. Decir que son pequeños, cómodos. Te los colocas y no los notas. Pero sí que notas que el sonido que percibes es mucho menor. Para dormir, no molestan nada ya que no sobresalen. Y son muy cómodos ya que puedes dormir de lado sin temor. He probado a dormir con ellos y perfecto, no se notan. Y sí, son muy ligeros. Principalmente, los uso para trabajar o en casa cuando hay mucho ruido. Te permiten concentrarte en lo que estás haciendo. Vienen en una cajita muy pequeña que te permite ponerla en algún llavero y llevarlos siempre contigo (en las llaves del coche por ejemplo) así cuando llegas a la oficina, los tienes. Sólo un pero. La ruedecita de selección de modo, es un poco sensible, por lo que eliges el modo de aislamiento y cuando te los colocas, es fácil que se "cambie" de modo. Pero bueno, si llevas un poco de cuidado, no hay problema. Para mi son unos tapones excelentes. De acuerdo que no son económicos. Y sí, probablemente en Instagram verás otras marcas a mucho menor precio. Pero a mi estos me parecen increíbles. Los recomiendo por supuesto. De hecho el tema es, ¿cómo no los he usado antes? Muy pero que muy recomendables!!

Genuine product.
