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

If you want the model with the lowest sound reduction, these are the ones from this line up. They worked great for the Disturbed concert! I wouldn't go up in the reduction rating unless you have particularly sensitive ears. I have sensitive ears but this was enough protection for sure. In fact I might have used the smaller inserts to hear even more, had I brought them. But the regular fitting inserts did the job well, for what they're able to do.Unfortunately the sound quality does drop somewhat because after all, we are blocking it somewhat. I considered electronic buds that drop the sound when the decibels hit a certain level but if they work like the over-the-ear phones I've used they will drop dangerous sound levels to a point where you barely hear it. So the sound might be jumping from clear to super low for safety, but not great for music.So I went with the Loop brand for the numbers mainly. Other brands don't seem to offer a model with this low of a rating, which equals more sound.The clear units are almost invisible if you want to be discreet and not look like "the old guy with ear plugs" :)I purchased two pairs and found what some other reviewers did, that some cases don't snap shut super tight. Be careful since these are expensive to be blunt. But a small price compared to hearing damage discomfort that can last from hours to days, or worse.

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 bought these for work as I support students with autism who can become quite excitable often. They high pitch they can hit could probably shatter crystal most days. As well as when they become upset. So I have been debating whether or not to get my own noise canceling headphones and then saw these. Today I tried them and found I can still watch TV if I wanted. I am excited to try them at work this coming week and will update my review after. I do think I will order a strap for them so I don't have to fumble with the case all day.So far, I think it's a good product. I'll let ya know how it goes.

I purchased these to use at my son‘s baseball and wrestling tournaments. I needed something that would help me not be overstimulated by the end of these events. These did the trick. It’s a sensation that is hard to explain, I can still hear, but more comfortably? It makes the sounds more muffled where it’s actually almost soothing. Everything is the same volume. I can still hear people talk to me, and I can talk back to them without hearing myself. They fit nicely in my ears. They don’t hurt my ears. They’re easy to put in my ears and remove without hurting or breaking. They’re a good quality. It would take a lot to break them. And it’s nice because they come with different size ear inserts so you can test out which size fits you best. I have taken naps with these on. I am a side sleeper and I toss and turn and they have not fallen out of my ears. I have eaten with these in And I don’t annoyingly hear myself chew and I don’t fall out. Great for the price. Great for long wearing without hurting your ears. They come with a nice carrying case so you don’t lose them. Easy to clean works very well. Stay in place and the perfect little size that they’re not even noticeable Totally recommend.

BUY THEM. I have gifted these to several friends who are moms. You know when the tv is on, kids are talking at the only volume they have (freaking 11), someone’s watching an obnoxiously scored video on their phone (thanks, babe), the dog starts to bark and you begin to lose your grip on reality and are nearing a murderous rage because there are too many dang sounds happening at once? Just me? These help with that.You can still hear people talking and what’s going on around you but these cut the background and take everything down a notch. It has saved our household from me losing my ever lovin’ poop on more than one occasion.

These hurt my ears really bad. I have pretty severe misophonia, so I thought these would be a good investment despite the price but… they really don’t work. If you need them for reasons other than hearing sensitivities or disorders etc. then they’ll work fine, but they don’t cover noises that are close by, and you have to be at a good distance to block out certain things. They made my misophonia worse when I put them in because I can hear my breathing and pulse lol I think my senses were heightened with these on so every little noise was amplified. I returned them—but looks wise they’re cute.

These are an absolute life saver. I am obsessed. My 9 year old daughter has a pair too. She wears them at school to help her drown out background noise to focus on what her teacher is saying. I use them at home to dampen the noise kids make. I use them at loud school events and at the movies, which are way too loud for me! I bought mutes and pop them in the channel when it is extra loud.
