Loop Engage 2 Ear Plugs – Everyday Noise Relief with Clear Speech for Social Gatherings, Work, Conversation, Parenting & Noise Sensitivity – 16 dB Noise Reduction Earplugs

These are great! I'm pleasantly surprised.Due to sensory issues, finding the perfect earbuds can be absolutely frustrating. And, by golly gosh, I do believe I struck gold with these!Sometimes my cat keeps me up at night meowing so I knew I needed some that would be a good fit for laying my head on the pillow. These stood out to me because they looked like they could possibly, and finally, not leave me wanting to claw my ears off.I took the chance and purchased them due to the good reviews and after seeing pictures of what they looked like sitting in the ear from other customers.After using these earbuds frequently for the past week, I don't have any complaints, so I will list all the qualities that are pros to me.1. They're discreet. Your eyes don't immediately jump to them because they hide well in the ear and they are not bright and bold in color. If you prefer something more discreet, these may be a good option for you.2. They cancel out just enough noise to be comforting. I like that they are not completely noise canceling. I appreciate that I can still hear while simultaneously having dimmed the intensity of loud and overwhelming noises that come with being out in public, at events, grocery store, etc.I went to a play last night and I could still hear what was happening just fine while also feeling comforted. I still had them in during intermission and was able to hear my aunt and carry a conversation just fine without having to take them out to hear her.These earbuds gently lower the intensity of over-stimulating noises and allow me to still enjoy certain activities and/or get through unfavorable situations that greatly overstimulate me.3. I appreciate the variety of sizing in the buds and that they included a size XS. While the mediums were okay, the XS's are perfect for me. Perfect size for my sensory needs and perfect size for sleeping. They fit just right in my ears, and my ears don't end up badly aching after having slept in them.When I tried sleeping with the mediums it was a no-go, but I switched to the XS and it felt SO much better all around and I was able to sleep. While I could tolerate the mediums for being out and about, once I switched to the XS's, I wondered why I didn't switch them sooner.4. Great for sleeping for me. I had not found an earbud that I could tolerate for very long until these. So the fact that I'm able to sleep with these things says A LOT. I don't have to keep adjusting my head so that they don't hurt or bother me.5. I hardly know they are there. Once I go on about my activities, it doesn't take long before I don't notice them much. It doesn't feel like my entire ear is busting with an earbud. I don't have to keep reajusting them to relieve aching. My tragus and rook piercings are not bothered at all when using them which THRILLS me.They're also very lightweight, and sit in my ears so subtly that I just about forget that I have them in.6. They're nicely compact and easy to transport. The design of the earbuds and case are brilliant. The color(s), shape, size, and smooth texture are very pleasing to me. I chose the iridescent lilac and they are beautiful without being too loud in appearance. I very much appreciate the loop attached to the case, too. I hooked mine onto my bag and they go with me everywhere.7. Money well-spent. I think these are worth every penny. I appreciate that they are not outrageously priced, that they are great quality, and meet my personal needs well.If you're looking for something closer to complete noise cancellation, these most likely aren't for you; however, if any of the above applies to you then you may be pleasantly surprised like I was when I tried them.I'm highly pleased! 12/10, would recommend!

This was my first time using any hearing protection at a concert (probably long overdue) and it was the best decision ever! It takes a minute to adjust but I found these were the perfect amount of noise reduction without making the show too muffled. People nearby that sounded so loud without the loops were way quieter with them on, but the show still sounded clear. I thought the switch or the experience one may be better at first, but I think the engage was perfect for a show - it definitely felt like enough reduction, and I felt like anything more could start to get muffled. Conversations were clear enough, you can’t hear yourself well but even without earplugs I can barely hear myself at concerts. I will also say I usually hate in-ear things (AirPods pro are way too big for my ear, earplugs and surveillance headsets usually hurt) but these with the XS size tips were perfect! Didn’t get uncomfortable or fall out at all.Overall stoked on these and excited to take them to more shows & even just use them to tune out surroundings and focus - they really make things less overstimulating and more enjoyable without taking anything away from the experience!

I started off with an earlier pair of Loop Engage (Equinox color), because this color (Dusk) was sold out then. This is the pair I really wanted, though. Both have worked extremely well for me, blocking just enough noise to help keep my sensory overload anxiety down while letting enough sound in that I can understand most of the time when someone talks to me.Let me tell you why I love these gorgeous little gray earplugs:With the extra small tips (they come with 4 sizes of tips, total), they fit my small ears without causing pain.They're affordable (especially on Prime Days), and even at full price, they're worth every penny.They stay in place all day, even with my extremely oily skin.They're easy to clean; all I use is a terry microfiber cleaning cloth, and 70% Isoproply Alcohol (I know the instructions say not to use that, but mine are no worse for it.) I spray a little alcohol on the cloth and wipe them clean.The case can fit almost anywhere, so they're easy to keep in my pocket at all times for sudden noisy situations. It even has a silicone loop you can hang it up by or put it on your keychain, though it might not last long that way.They help me sleep better, especially since I live on a busy street that has traffic at all hours of the day.They make music, audiobooks, and phone conversations sound so much clearer, louder, and fuller when used with bone conduction headphones.And lastly, but not least - they help me stay sane in today's VERY noisy world.I was think they're 100% worth the hype.
