- Switch 2 Adjustable Ear Plugs - 3 Noise Relief Modes for Ultimate Control | Flexible Earplugs for Focus, Travel, Socializing, Festivals & More | 20-26 dB (SNR) Reduction

They sounded gimicky but I needed something ASAP for a film festival. Fortunately, they do work well for a wide range of situations. The XS tips fit my tiny ear canals, and I am getting the knack of rotating the bodies so they sit beneath in the concha under the inferior crus (under mid-ear ridge). Once in, I can wear them all day and just dial them up and down. I find it helps to use two fingers rather than one to adjust them. As for how they work - They fit me better than disposables and because I can seat them once and then tune them throughout the day, they're a lot easier to use at in dynamic contexts like the office. I like the adjustability, and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. The tips are removable and washable (but I would not immerse the main unit, although it is reasonably sweat resistant so far). My old custom made ones were a little more noise blocking and a little more comfortable, but also six times the price a a hundred times the hassle. As for function - I put them on quietest mode on the subway, at the movies, or when my co-workers are eating a rowdy lunch in the office. Could use a few more dB reduction in the subway, but this gets it to a manageable level. The middling setting works for desk work in the afternoon or balancing busy street noise with situational awareness. The light setting, I use for talking with co-workers or other "I forgot to take them out" situations. In extremely loud settings (airplanes or wood chippers) they do sit comfortably under a pair of ear defenders. I like that can nap in them without poking myself in the head, but the brush of fabric over the earplugs can be a noise in itself, so YMMV for sleep. The carrying case lid hinge is a bit flimsy but the case is nicely compact. In practice, because I'm clumsy, I put them on a leash and use the carrying case that came with the leash instead. That fits the whole package and is a little faster to use. I'm over-sensitive to noise, so it's really helpful to have earplugs I can tune to my situation rather than having to try to swap out ear plugs or hold my dispos at the right angle to adjust the degree of blocking.

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.

These are a game changer! I have ADHD, and with that comes a struggle with auditory processing. Since ADHD is a focus issue, my brain struggles to filter through a lot of noise happening all at once. It feels like noticing noise from everything at the same time, instead of just being able to concentrate on the conversation or whatever I am there for. (Apparently non ADHD brains automatically filter out non-relevant noise, whereas I have to consciously fight to do this). So it becomes overwhelming and exhausting to stay focused in places where a lot of people are gathered and talking (especially added together with loud music), like busy restaurants and bars. Obviously this includes certain concerts, and anywhere the noise of a crowd is loud around me. These loop ear plugs have literally solved that issue for me! It’s made going on dates and other social outings feel more normal and fun again. I can hear the people I am there with, and block out the overwhelming noise surrounding us, so I don’t have to fight to concentrate anymore. My mental energy no longer gets drained because of that. Another note: I looked at the other 3 Loop earplugs, and it looks like they each have 1 noise-level setting, and this pair has combined all of the same ones that you can switch between, which is definitely worth it. I find myself adjusting them as needed, and that feature also makes a difference. I also love that there’s no charging required, so I keep them in my purse and just pull them out whenever needed. They are also comfortable. Your own voice sounds different, and slightly muffled while wearing, so that takes getting used to, but it’s not bad. Lastly, I think these would make a big difference for those with autism as well. Some folks may need to cancel sound completely, but if not, these allow you to filter and still hear what you need to, unlike regular ear plugs or noise-canceling headphones…. Buy them, you won’t regret it!

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!!!

Losing my previous Loop Quiet 1s was a blessing in disguise because the Loop Switch 2 is a massive step up. While the originals were great for pure silence, having three noise relief modes in a single pair is a total game-changer for daily life. Why I like them much better: - Total Control: Instead of carrying different pairs, the mechanical switch lets me toggle between Engage (socializing), Experience (live music or focus), and Quiet (total sleep mode). It’s incredibly intuitive and convenient. - Improved Design: The Switch 2 feels more refined and durable than the first generation. The ear tips provide a more secure seal, and the overall profile is still comfortable enough for side-sleeping or long-term wear. - Loss Prevention: Since I only have to keep track of one set now, I find myself using the carry case more consistently. It’s much more practical for someone who is always on the go. It’s the perfect all-in-one solution that delivers way more value than a single-mode earplug ever could.

I wear ear plugs a lot. I attend very loud music venues. I have trouble finding ear plugs that work well. These have 3 settings and all the settings cut enough noise to make the sound tolerable. They stay in my ear because of the design. They are very comfortable. The case is small enough to fit easily in any bag, although I wouldn't mind if the case a tad bit larger to make it easier to handle. I considered these because of musicians and audio technicians recommended them.

I'm a rider who wears a helmet. I have a stereo on the bike, and I have a bluetooth headset for communicating with other riders. A long day of riding is not ideal for hearing preservation. These ear plugs are awesome. They are comfortable enough to wear for hours. They block out excessive wind and exhaust noise, while still allowing me to hear audio from my headset, my stereo, and my surroundings. I was initially concerned that too much of the desired audio would be cut. Not the case at all. Fully recommend.

It has multiple fits and once you find the nub for your ear it stay in pretty well. The sound adjustment took me a little bit to get used to but the lowest setting allows some sound in and the highest setting sounds are highly muted. I would say at that level it is effective while shooting.

Très satisfait de ces bouchons. J'ai pris le temps de tester les différents embouts fournis pour trouver le bon ajustement — et c'est vraiment important de bien les positionner pour que la protection soit efficace. Une fois en place, on les oublie complètement : je les ai portés facilement 4-5 heures d'affilée sans aucune gêne. Le système d'ajustement sonore est vraiment pratique. On ajuste, on entend la musique, l'ambiance, les conversations autour de soi tout en filtrant les fréquences qui agressent les oreilles. Ça fait exactement ce qu'on en attend en simplicité. A voir dans le temps si le système tient ses promesses. Je les ai utilisés en soirée et en festival à plusieurs reprises, et le résultat est là. Le soir en rentrant, plus d'acouphènes. Zéro sifflement, zéro bourdonnement. Un achat que je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui sortent régulièrement.

The 3 different modes are so amazing! They work so well. The difference between the 3 are insane! I bought them for my daughter, who has sensory issues, and they've helped her so much! 100% would recommend!

Maravilhoso atendeu todas as expectativas.

Świetny produkt, jakość premium. Działa bardzo dobrze. Po dopasowaniu gumek nie wypada z uszu. Filtry robią robotę.

Barrierefreie Kurzfassung in einfacher Sprache Ich bin sehr empfindlich bei Geräuschen. Die Loop Switch 2 helfen mir im Alltag, in Kliniken und bei großen Veranstaltungen. Ich bleibe ruhiger, kann sprechen und zuhören. Der Lärm wird leiser, aber wichtige Geräusche höre ich weiterhin. Sie tun nicht weh und fallen kaum auf. Ich trage Größe M und nutze sie oft viele Stunden. Sie sind kein Wundermittel, aber ein sehr hilfreiches Werkzeug. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Unten steht die ausführliche Version. ----- Ausführliche Bewertung: Ich habe die Loop Switch 2 mehrere Monate lang in sehr unterschiedlichen Situationen getestet. Im Alltag, im Zug, in der Stadt, in medizinischen Einrichtungen und besonders auf einer großen Veranstaltung mit starker Geräuschkulisse. Ich bin hochsensibel und reagiere stark auf Lärm. Deshalb waren meine Erwartungen hoch, aber ich war anfangs auch skeptisch. Kurz gesagt: Sie funktionieren überraschend gut. Die Veranstaltung war mein persönlicher Stresstest. Dort gab es Musik, Durchsagen, Menschenmengen und eine unruhige Umgebung. Normalerweise werde ich in solchen Situationen sehr schnell überreizt. Dazu gehören Kopfdruck, unkontrolliertes Gedankenkreisen, Sprachprobleme und der starke Wunsch, mich zurückzuziehen. Dieses Mal ist das nicht passiert. Ich nutzte die stärkste Dämpfungsstufe und war beeindruckt, wie angenehm der Hintergrundlärm abgefangen wurde. Alles Wichtige blieb hörbar, aber nichts tat mehr weh. Ich war ruhig, klar ansprechbar und stabil. Auch meine eigene Stimme klang für mich natürlich. Ich konnte normal sprechen, Gespräche führen, Entscheidungen treffen und in Kontakt bleiben. ---- Zusätzliche Erfahrung in der Notaufnahme: Ich konnte die Loop Switch 2 auch in einer sehr belastenden medizinischen Situation testen. Kliniken sind für mich akustisch extrem schwierig. Viele laute oder scharfe Geräusche wie Telefone, Gerätepiepen, Schritte oder Stimmengewirr sind für mein System kaum auszuhalten. Mit den Loop Switch 2 war das deutlich anders. Ich konnte mich mit dem medizinischen Personal problemlos unterhalten. Trotz vieler Hintergrundgeräusche war die Verständigung leicht und klar. Ich hörte meine eigene Stimme gut und konnte meine Artikulation anpassen. Niemand musste lauter sprechen. Die Kommunikation lief ganz natürlich. Für mich fühlte sich das wie eine Form von kontrollierter Reizfilterung an. Kein völliges Ausblenden der Umgebung und keine Überreizung. Stattdessen ein geschützter, aber durchlässiger Raum, der mir Sicherheit gibt. ---- Komfort und Passform: Ich nutze Größe M auf beiden Seiten, obwohl ich zuerst dachte, unterschiedliche Größen zu benötigen. Ich empfehle unbedingt, die Größen auszuprobieren. Am Anfang saßen sie etwas fest, aber nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnung passten sie perfekt. Ich trage sie inzwischen teilweise bis zu 17 Stunden am Tag. Sie drücken nicht, verursachen keine Schmerzen und fallen in der schwarzen Variante kaum auf. ---- Hinweis zum Verständnis der Dämpfung: Die Loop Switch 2 machen die Welt nicht komplett still. Sie sind ein Werkzeug zur gezielten Reizfilterung. Ich verstehe, dass manche Menschen in bestimmten Situationen absolute Stille brauchen. Dafür sind die Switch 2 nicht gedacht. Sie sollen die laute Welt etwas leiser machen, ohne dass man die Umgebung verliert. Dadurch bleibt die volle Lebensqualität erhalten. Das Umschalten der Modi funktioniert zuverlässig, wenn die Passform stimmt. Viele kritische Bewertungen wirken so, als gäbe es Sitzprobleme oder unrealistische Erwartungen. ---- Zusätzliche persönliche Erfahrung zu den Dämpfungsstufen: In manchen Rezensionen steht, dass kein Unterschied zwischen den Modi spürbar ist. Das hatte ich am Anfang ebenfalls. Bei mir lag das jedoch am Sitz der Ohrstöpsel und nicht an der Technik. Mir fiel erst nach einiger Zeit auf, dass sich der Sitz im Ohr leicht verändert, wenn ich den Modus wechsle. In meinem Fall fühlt es sich so an, als würden sich die Loop Switch 2 je nach Einstellung etwas fester anlegen. Es gibt drei Modi. Bei Modus 1, also geringer Dämpfung, fühlte sich alles normal an. Sobald ich auf Modus 2 wechselte, spürte ich sofort, dass sich der Druck im Ohr verändert. Anfangs verstand ich das nicht. Dann testete ich es bewusst und stellte fest, dass die Dämpfung deutlicher wird, wenn ich während des Umschaltens leicht gegen den Ohrstöpsel drücke, sodass er sicher sitzt. Bei Modus 3, der stärksten Dämpfung, merke ich diesen Effekt am stärksten. Wenn ich leicht dagegen drücke, fühlt es sich an, als würden sich die Loops stabil im Ohr verankern. Das ist ungewöhnlich, aber bei mir hat es den Unterschied klar spürbar gemacht. Ich habe dazu nichts auf der offiziellen Website von Loop gefunden. Es ist also nur meine persönliche Beobachtung und kein Anwendungshinweis. Erst in diesem stabilen Sitz spüre ich die Dämpfung vollständig. Wenn ich die Modi verstellt habe, ohne auf den Sitz zu achten, war der Unterschied sehr gering oder kaum wahrnehmbar. Ich kann nicht beurteilen, ob dieser Effekt bei anderen Menschen ebenfalls auftritt. Es ist ausdrücklich keine Empfehlung zur Anwendung. Wer unsicher ist, sollte ausschließlich die offiziellen Hinweise befolgen und keine Experimente durchführen. Für mich war dieser Punkt jedoch entscheidend. Seit ich auf den Sitz achte, sind die Unterschiede zwischen den Modi klar spürbar und wirken so, wie sie sollen.
