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

I wear these (and my quiets) every single day and I absolutely love them. I'm going to eventually buy a backup pair to leave at work because the idea that I may accidentally leave these at home gives me anxiety lol They're incredibly comfortable (try every single ear tip size!) and extremely discreet. And I can add a great deal more db reduction (equivalent to the quiets) with the little mute. Before I got my quiets I've even slept in the engages and I'm a side sleeper. While it wasn't *the* most comfortable night time earplugs experience, it wasn't unbearable. I just made myself not put as much pressure on my ear (I gathered up a blanket and positioned it in such a way that my ear didn't emoosh against the pillow.) The only gripe I have about the actual product is that they don't come in more colors. I do prefer the clear ones for work, but when I wear them out to events (bingo night!) I really want to have them look like jewelry to match my 7 earrings in my ears. I'd absolutely love a rose gold, and painting them isn't an option because I don't want to accidentally block the little chamber lol. I know there are the experience ones, but I don't need more occlusion/db reduction at these events so I haven't gotten them. Speaking of gripes - this isn't the fault of the product but it's just the way that earplugs work...even though these ones aren't totally occlusive, they still make it sound weird when I talk. It took me about a week to get used to it and I still can't sing along with the music at work because I'm way too loud to myself and it sounds weird...but the benefits far outweigh that to me. I've tried products like the flare calmers and while they help with general overstimulation they offer zero db reduction so they don't do it for me in loud environments such as my job. I do still use them in other situations, though. Just not when volume is part of the issue. Ok now that that's out of the way, I'll expand on how these are helping me in hopes that it gives someone else the info they need in order to decide whether they want to spend the money on them. I feel obligated to mention that these are *not* designed to protect your ears from significant noise levels such as gunshots or heavy machinery. I know they're not advertised as such, but I feel that it's responsible to add this in my review. So, I work at a restaurant and I have noise sensitivity and chronic migraines. The noise level at work is unbearable at times (too loud but not dangerously so) between the music, the hood vent, the fryers, all of the customers, the clinking and clanking of metal cookware and all the buzzing of the appliances. It drives me mad and makes my head pain even more intense. The breaking point was one day when the person in charge had the music up a little bit too loud and I nearly lost my mind within the first 10 minutes of my shift. I'd had these on my wishlist for a while but I literally purchased them on my break so I could have them the next day. When I tell you that with these in it melts away all of the annoying buzzing and whirring of the appliances! I can't even hear when the water is running (so I have to be careful that I don't overfill the sink when I walk away for a second while it's filling up lol). The clinking and clanking doesn't feel like it's piercing into my soul. The music isn't too loud. AND I can still hear the customers speaking to me very clearly! It only affects me being able to hear people talking if they're quiet talkers or are mumbling, which to be fair that isn't very easy to hear over the ruckus without the loops. All I have to do is adjust my level of concentration when I'm not looking at someone when they're speaking. So it does take some getting used to but it's not something that can't be learned. It's also reduced my migraine intensity. It used to be that if my head started to hurt while at work it would progressively get more painful for the entire day until I finally got home and things are much quieter. Now, when I start to get head pain it plateaus at a point and doesn't continue to increase. This has greatly improved my quality of life while at work. Also when I am having head pain and extra migraine-induced noise sensitivity at home I can wear these and still be able to hear everything around me. I can even use them and listen to an audiobook at the normal volume and be able to hear everything perfectly, if a bit quieter (which is what I want during a migraine) Now, can I just get some of these for my eyes? LOL (seriously, though fl41 migraine tint for glasses is a life saver!) I carry these babies everywhere and I recommend them to anyone with noise sensitivity. My coworker bought some last week and she loves them! I got them as a birthday present for my best friend and she's incredibly happy with them! I can't recommend them enough. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the case. It's fine. Nothing to call home about. I don't trust it by itself, so I crocheted a little pouch to put it in. I've heard that the version 2 cases are more secure, but I don't trust my comfort and sanity to a piece of plastic alone lol you can alternatively buy some of those small, round headphones zipper pouches to put it in. I don't trust the metal cases with the screw-on lid, either. I carry my daily meds in one and am very familiar with just how easily it works itself open.

Looks: Small, yet sturdy; fits snugly into ear Hearing Ability: Decreases high frequency sounds while being able to hear patients. Does not drown out high frequencies fully, but the protection it provides is very effective/strong. There’s a HUGE difference between no ear plugs vs ear plugs Sleep Quality: N/A - I use them for work only Seal: Good! Ease of Use: Good!

I bought the Loop Engage 2 earplugs because I’m noise-sensitive but still need to stay engaged in conversations, especially in social settings and while parenting. I’ve been using them regularly in everyday situations — family gatherings, busy rooms, and during conversations where background noise would normally leave me feeling overstimulated. They do exactly what they claim: they take the edge off without making me feel disconnected or like my ears are blocked. What really works well: Speech stays clear and natural, even when multiple people are talking Background noise is softened, not muted, which makes socializing feel more manageable Comfortable enough to wear for extended periods The multiple ear tip sizes make a big difference for fit (especially for smaller ears) I’ve owned an earlier version of Loop earplugs, and the updated carry case alone is a huge improvement. It’s sturdier, easier to open, and actually feels secure on a keychain — no more worrying about it popping open in a bag. Things to know before buying: These aren’t meant to block out all sound — they’re best for reducing overstimulation, not silence If you’re expecting heavy-duty noise cancellation, these may feel too subtle Bottom line: If you want to stay present in conversations while reducing sensory overload, these are excellent. I genuinely love mine and would repurchase, especially with the upgraded case and improved fit options.

First, I like the way these look when you’re wearing them. I ordered the clear Loops because I was intending to wear these at work, and I didn't want them to be easily noticeable and these are definitely not noticeable unless you are close up. I have no issues with these staying in my ears while I’m wearing them. The quality of the ear plugs is great, I like that it is one solid piece and also that you get a variety of tip sizes to choose from. These are always in my purse, the Loops case is small which makes them perfect to carry with you. I get very overstimulated by loud environments, such as crowded rooms or busy stores. When I get overstimulated I get irritable and I ordered these in hopes that I could go to hockey games or to the mall without getting overstimulated and in turn having a bad experience or a panic attack. These have helped me enjoy public places again, but to an extent. These do help reduce the ambient noise, but if it gets quiet when I have them in I can hear myself breathing or if my hair brushes against the ear plugs and I have to take them out. I work at a school in the office, and I use these every time we have a drill. When we have a drill I have to go and check certain parts of the school, and some of them (cafeteria specifically) are deafening. The Loops effectively reduce the high pitched alarm sound that would otherwise be deafening. I do notice that I do speak a little louder than I normally would while wearing these. I have to have the Loops when this is happening at work. The Loops are also effective when the office is busy and everyone seems to be talking over each other. I also attached an AirTag to the loop on the case. The case is small, and I was concerned I would misplace it and not be able to find it (obviously if the ear plugs are not in the case this doesn’t help much. I just make a point to always put the ear plugs back in the case as soon as I take them out). I would recommend these to anyone who gets overstimulated by sound/noise, they truly have helped me more than other things I have tried. I have had these for about 4 months. I wanted to use them in as many different situations as I possibly could so I could give the best and most accurate review possible.

I never realized how overstimulated I was getting until I ordered these. They are so incredibly helpful and put a gently mute over the annoying background noises. Think the hum of a car engine, or someone walking or eating. It helps with drowning out those ambient background sounds. You can still hear people clearly, unless you have someone with a really bassy voice, then it may muffle them more a bit. I definitely recommend these, and find myself using them often. They come with a case that fits perfectly in my purse or pocket, and you could even attach them on a keychain. I also love that it comes with different ear buds to get the perfect fit.

I was concerned for appearance, comfort, & ability to function being I am autistic. I can wear them at work, social areas like the mall, and family events. It numbs all noise so I don't hear everything but still hear people when they talk to me. I got the clear ones so no one sees i am wearing them. My only complaint & these are understandable because its ear plugs, you can hear yourself talk loud. So sometimes I don't know if im talking loud enough. Also eating anything with them on is also loud. Which again is fully expected & I have no problem with the plugs in those aspects I just take them out to eat & speak louder if someone can't hear me. Overall amazing and probably would consider buying another pair.

I'm just not sure. I bought these to wear to conventions. I tested them out in some VERY loud and crowded environments. They do a good job of dimming the sound, but it muffles the lower end of the noise and doesn't do much for the higher stuff. This means I can hyper hear the lady's conversation the table over but can't hear my husband sitting across from me. Also, I hear myself too much with them in, so I talk softer and it's like my husband has the ear plugs in because he can't hear me. The extra small is a little to small but the small is too big for my ears. I'm wearing the extra small so they don't pop out as easily. I am very aware that these exist when I first put them in and have to zone out a bit until I get used to the feeling. I don't know why, but once they're in for a bit and I stop remembering that I'm wearing them, I definitely feel calmer in those busy environments. Feels like the crowds are more manageable. They are so cute. They come in a teeny tiny little carry case that is so cute. Easy to throw into a purse or even attach to a keychain (I don't think keychain would be smart, the clasp on the case is sturdy but not so much I would trust it there). The ear plugs themselves are adorable too. I think they are overpriced. I paid full price for the iridescent ones because I wanted the shiny color, but I don't like the amount of money I paid. I don't want to return these, they seem to be working as intended just not as I had hoped they would.

As a first responder, these are a God send. I wear them when I need to cut out access noise that can contribute to my already damaged hearing. I wear these when I need to catch up on sleep at home or at the station. These are now a must have when I try to catch a nap, but still need to be able to hear things around me. Definitely helps my sleep quality wherever I am at. I also wear them when things get a little overstimulating. It cuts out the access noise that you might not even notice, but make a big difference when you’re stressed. With the different size options included, they are very comfortable and fit well.
