Loop Earplugs earn strong reviews for meaningfully reducing noise while preserving clarity—concertgoers report no post-show ringing, parents and office workers stay conversational yet calmer—though comfort declines for side sleepers and ultra‑long wear. Reviewers praise discreet, jewelry-like design, multiple tip sizes, and compact cases, but note occasional tip detachment, fragile-feeling plastic cases, minimal difference between certain models, and some soreness after many hours.

  • I have been loving my loop engage plus earplugs. Prime day had a decent deal and I was able to grab them! I love being able to have an alternative to my noise cancelling beats fit pros with no music or Bluetooth. I also got the clear color which is almost invisibly worn! Super cool brand and product :)

  • I love my Loop Engage earplugs. In fact I was just using them to reduce the noise of my kids playing. Sometimes I just need less noise to maintain my sanity. That's when I reach for these earplugs. They help reduce the noise, while still allowing me to hear what's going on and communicate.

  • I am completely obsessed with my loops. I bought the black pair when I was at Gov ball in new york city because the music was way too loud for me to enjoy. Best $30 i've ever spent. I want to get the gold ones because I think they look like jewelry and would be super discreet. They are comfortable in your ear and really get the job done when it comes to protecting hearing. Now i carry them in my purse in case im ever in a loud club. No bad things to say about loop earplugs

  • I've been eyeing Loop for a while and finally made the commitment and got a pair of Dream and Engage 2 plus. I LOVE the idea of them and how they protect my hearing while still being style relevant in social settings. They are lighter weight than I expected, which is neither good or bad, but it was surprising. On the one hand, the lightness of them gave the elusion of a less expensive product, but on the flip side, it made them less noticeable that I was wearing them. Specific to Dream, they are the most comfortable pair I've worn when compared to other ear plugs, which normally are slightly painful in the morning after wearing a set all night. These did not have the same level of discomfort of others. As I am a very light sleeper, I do wish it had a higher db noise reduction. They do a good job of outlining what to expect for 27db, and I'd say their commentary was accurate when describing it, so perhaps an opportunity for a higher db in a future version that is 33+. Overall, very happy Loop exists, will definitely be a long time customer, supporter and wearer... and will look out for future updates.

  • These are pricey but worth it in my opinion. I sleep with them every night and have 1 pair for home and one for travel. They block sound really well, stay in my ears and are comfortable to sleep in. I also like that you can wipe them off and adjust the size. I’d buy again despite the price.

  • I really like my Loop earplugs because they're comfortable (up to a reasonable amount of hours) and don't fall out. I have the Loop Quiet and I use them mainly when flying or overnight at hotels. If I wear them more than ~10 hours (I have on very long flights) I do find my ears get a tiny bit sore, but I'd still much rather use them than not. They don't block out all noise, but I don't have that expectation. I think the look is fun and I don't feel weird about walking around with them in on a plane. The carrying case is handy and super small so they're easy to take on the go.

  • Got Loop earplugs recently and ngl, they’ve been a lifesaver. They don’t block everything out, but they really help tone things down. 😅Took a bit to figure out the right fit, but now I use them all the time.

  • Loop earplugs are a total game changer—comfortable, stylish, and incredibly effective at reducing noise without muffling everything. I use them for concerts, travel, and even focus time, and they make a huge difference. The fit is snug but not irritating, and they come with multiple tip sizes for a perfect seal. Plus, they look sleek and don’t stick out awkwardly. Great design and even better performance!

  • These work really well, but they are expensive. They are very comfortable for an ear plug, but I wouldn't want to wear them for too long at a time.

  • great for the price. I have the experience ones because I found myself going to a lot of concerts and DJ sets and leaving feeling...deaf. The carrying case is so nice and small and easy to throw in a purse or pocket.

  • I have both Quiet and Engage Loops, and I find them really good, though not much noticeable difference between the two. They are discrete the carry case is great for keeping them handy, though I've had issues in the past with the case getting knocked open and almost losing the Loops. They are a good alternative to noise cancelling headphones when I just want to take the edge off instead of complete blockout. Being able to hear other people talking and hold a conversation with them in is another plus for me. Overall, they're a good investment if everyday noise bothers you.

  • would recommend loop earplugs! they have a nice look, are easy to get in and out, and work as well as foam earplugs. maybe not as efficient for live music as $$$ ones, but are a good price for what they do!

  • I adore loops as an option for reducing loud sounds and quieting stimulation. They’re perfect for concerts or moments when you just need a bit more peace. They come with multiple sizes, but honestly that still never fits quite right for me — maybe it’s user error. I also find them so easy to lose :( but again, more of a user problem than a them problem! Highly recommend

  • Because of my adhd, I am easily distracted by any noise, these earplugs help a lot. I use them every time I study and during tests. They are very comfortable and discreet. I would love a bigger case with a clip because I have lost several pairs of earplugs, the case is tiny (little bigger than a quarter)

  • Pros: as a mom and teacher with sound sensitivity, they changed my life. I can still understand conversations while turning down the background noise. Cons: the silicone in-ear pieces come off in my ears. They're not hard to get back out, but I often drop them and it's annoying. They're also pricey. With the Experience ones, I have to take them out to eat due to loud chewing. I've heard their newer line reduces that and the apparent loudness of your own voice. Bottom line: I still want more. I've tried several brands since, and these are one of my favorites.

  • I’ve recommended Loop to at least 10 friends. These are big in the neurospicy (neurodivergent/neuroatypical) community for a reason. I have ADHD, some real sound sensitivity, and visual and physical synesthesia issues that make a lot of things overwhelming, and my Loops take the edge off of existence. I have four pairs of loops: 2 Mute, 1 Experience, 1 Engage. They all serve different purposes in my life. The Mutes are for sleep, the Experiences are for concerts or loud events, and the Engages are for commuting, the office, or chaotic grocery stores.

  • I like the memorable design of the earplugs and the loop concept is pretty clever. I feel like it's pretty expensive for what you get as the plastic case seems small and easy to lose, as well as the earplugs themselves and was slightly disappointed when they arrived. In comparison, the Downbeats I've had for a few years were cheaper and come in a nicer feeling aluminum case. I got the quiets and experiences and have yet to fully try them in a setting like a concert so my opinion may change.

  • These changed my life. I cannot function in noisy situations. Like the office, grocery stores, or restaurants. I have tiny ears too, so most earbuds or ear plugs just don't fit. THESE FIT MY EARS perfectly. I forget they are in. Right now I am using them at the office to just zone into my work and not be distracted or overstimulated by other noises, but I can still hear if someone needs my attention. It's just perfect. I will be wearing these everywhere.

  • I did not think fancy earplugs were a thing but WOW they are a gamechanger! I use them on planes, when I travel, and when I need to tune out my kids for a bit. They are super comfortable and don't look silly.
