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.

So I was hesitant about ordering these. My ears are very small and I have a hard time with earbuds and the like. But I ordered them for an upcoming concert. I saw reviews where people would wear them driving big rigs. I drive a tri-axel dump truck. Let me tell you I was very impressed! I did not realize how loud it was inside the truck. So I can leave these on their lowest setting, still hear the radio just fine, hear the CB no problem, and can hear a slight hum of the engine. But it takes away all the extra noise. I don’t hear the rattles near as much in the cab. I can even talk on the phone with my headset and still have the loops in my ear and hear. And that is the lowest setting. The more noise canceling settings work too. I can block out pretty much everything like normal earplugs in the noise canceling setting.I can have conversations with ease with these in and still block out loud noises. I have wore them to the concert and it was great! Music was so good! My ears wasn’t ringing like normal after a concert but I didn’t sacrifice any quality of the music! I took these out after wearing them a few days driving and could not believe the difference they make while in the truck. With my small ears I use the smallest tips. But they stay in no problem. I have not felt like they would fall out at all. Only complaint is on my end. Since I don’t wear anything like this typically, my ears are just a little sensitive to having something in them most of the day. But like anything, it will get better with time. And this is definitely worth it. UPDATE: So I just went dive hunting on public land. Several people around shooting. I wore the loops, and let me tell you I was thoroughly impressed with how much they muted my gun. I was shooting a 12ga and even on the lowest setting it muffled the shot amazingly. My ears never rang once from all my shooting or the dozens of shots around me. So they even work wonders for shooting!!

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!!!

As an overstimulated mom with a toddler and loud dog, this is a must. I put them on as soon as they came in and I haven’t wanted to take them out since. Pure bliss! Like yes, you can still hear things, but it takes the edge of by a lot. It makes the noise in my house 40% less offensive

These are fantastic. I mainly got them to help filter the noise at work since it can get very loud and hard to hear customers on the phone. They do a great job of canceling out all the background noise so I can actual hear what is being said. They also are a huge help when I start getting overstimulated in loud places. I love that there are 3 levels of noise reduction so I can adjust them if I still need to hear something but want to tune out the rest of the world. I can't recommend these enough, especially if you're neurodivergent.

I've used Loops before and I like them a lot. I splurged on these for a couple big events and was excited that they actually seem to work with the 3 different levels as advertised. But the case is crap. It popped open on my first day out with them and one fell out. I never got to even use them for the event I bought them for. For $70 a pair, I'd expect a carrying case that doesn't come open immediately. And they don't sell individuals, so I'm just stuck with a useless single earbud. But they'll give you 20% off to spend more money on their product so I guess there's that.

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".

I have 24/7 tinnitus and I’m very sensitive to loud noise due to vertigo, so finding good ear protection is really important for me. The Loop Switch 2 have been a game changer, I wore them yesterday at a concert at Wembley and felt like I could fully experience the atmosphere and music while still feeling protected. It made such a difference being able to enjoy the event without worrying about the noise overwhelming me. I’m also planning to use them in my gym classes where the music is often way too loud. Comfortable, effective, and stylish, highly recommend!

Helps a lot with the focus . Improved quality of sleep.

Fijn dat er 4 verschillende maten dopjes zijn, dragenn fijn. Mooie kleur en makkelijk om de stand te veranderen. Alleen het hoesje voelt niet super stevig. Als ik ze mee zou willen nemen zou ik daar een andere voor willen hebben.

Maravilhoso atendeu todas as expectativas.

These have been a lifesaver for me. Since my TBI, I can get overstimulated easily, and loud, crowded environments can become overwhelming very quickly. These basically let me turn the volume of the world down while still being able to hear what’s going on around me. What makes these worth the extra money for me is that they’re adjustable. I’m not stuck with one level of noise reduction for every situation. I can increase or decrease it depending on the environment and how much sound I need to take out. I originally bought them for a concert, but I’ve since used them in all kinds of situations, even at a busy funeral where there were a lot of people and conversations happening at once. They live in my purse now because I never really know when I’m going to need them. They’re also incredibly discreet. I have long hair and people generally have no idea I’m wearing them. My only suggestion is to buy the neck strap. The earplugs are tiny and would be very easy to lose, especially when taking them in and out while you’re away from home. The strap gives me a little extra insurance against accidentally losing them. I recommend these to people all the time. If you want to reduce overwhelming background noise without completely shutting yourself off from the people around you, these are absolutely worth considering.
