Loop Engage Plus Earplugs – Low-Level Noise Reduction with Clear Speech – for Conversation, Social Gatherings, Noise Sensitivity & Parenting – 8 Ear Tips + Extra Accessories – 16 dB & NRR 10 - Clear

I still live on a night shift schedule even though I'm retired, and my wife uses our bedroom as her office during the day, so using earplugs is a requirement for domestic tranquility. I like that it's very comfortable, easy to clean, and doesn't fall out of your ears if you size the (multiple sizes included) plug attachments correctly. It doesn't kill noise...it deadens it considerably. If my wife is right next to me and talking to me, I might be able to hear what she's saying, but I can tune it out if I want (don't tell her). I've used this daily since purchase and I really like it.Do be aware that if you use a smaller plug cover and it slides out of your ear, your cats may want to play with them. I did have one attachment damaged by this, but my wife has the same set so I just used her spare.My wife had bought a set before me, and uses it when we go to see live music. She says it takes the edge off the music but if anything it takes out a lot of the incidental noise so the music experience is enhanced (used during shows like Dirty Fences/The Chats...so it was loud).I really recommend this as I use it as I said, daily, and it works great for deadening sound, but doesn't take it all away.

These are great for teaching instrumental music & band classes as well as marching band. I like having the option to put the inserts in the middle to make it quieter in very loud environments and the leave them out for when I want to do more talking. The only thing I have trouble with is telling how loud vs soft I am talking when they’re in my ears.

I have moderate noise sensitivity; crowded, noisy places can overwhelm and stress me out, and sharp, sudden sounds make my anxiety spike. I thought these might be worth a try for the above, and also for some better focus during work. After using them for a while, I do recommend them, with some caveats.The first thing I want to call out is that you need to have reasonable expectations with these. I saw a lot of reviews complaining that these don't shut out all noise and don't completely isolate you, which is frankly not a reasonable thing to expect from these. They only have a noise reduction of 10 decibles; I sleep with foam earplugs that have a reduction of 33, and even with those you can still hear people talking if they're nearby and other noises. Short of some very expensive, high tech headphones, you are never going to get complete and total silence and isolation.What I found was that, without inserting the optional additional dampening plugs, this muffles some sounds and softens others. It's a lot easier to simply tune things out around you because these noises don't compete with your focus as much wearing these. For me, it helped to keep me from feeling like I was being overcrowded and loud, sudden sounds didn't have the same negative impact for me. I have a friend who is a very soft talker and I was still able to hear her easily, but it is something you will need to focus on; because it's so easy to tune things out, it's easier not to notice someone is trying to talk to you. I didn't have any issue not being able to clearly hear what they were saying. The added 5 decible dampening plugs included basically amplify all the above; they might be a bit much if you're at an office or trying to hang out with friends, but they also won't completely isolate you either.You will have to get used to modulating your volume if you aren't used to wearing earplugs, because this does dampen your own voice to your ears slightly. If you've worn simple foam earplugs, you'll also be familiar with the way these amplify certain sounds of your own, like chewing and swallowing; if you dislike that, these may not be for you. I didn't have an issue wearing these for hours at a time, but your mileage may vary and these are a lot of different plug sizes included in here for you to try out.The case, as people have said, is terrible and flimsy. It's the sort of thin, hard plastic that you could easily crack just by making a tight fist around it, and the latch isn't secure. I keep mine in my purse, in a second pouch I use to keep other little things together, so at least if the container opens the plugs aren't going far.I think these do what they do well. Don't expect miracles, and DO expect to need to be more aware of your surroundings. I think they're expensive for what they are and the material they're made out of, BUT I also think they work far better and are also more comfortable than alternatives I have tried, like Flare Audio Calmer, and the Eargasm High Fidelity models (although that latter might be better for specifically loud concerts). All in all, I think these are worth a try if you go into them in the right frame of mind.

These have been a life changer for me! I use the interchangeable dampeners and have worn them for doing housework, university work at a busy library, yardwork, concerts, and front seats at a tractor pull. I have sensitive ears and find myself sore from regular ear buds, often. These offer great tailored sound experiences while remaining comfortable in the ear for extended periods of time.

I am in love with these loops. They keep me from getting overwhelmed and overstimulated. I have autism so loud environments really overwhelm me but I am able to pop these in and still ENGAGE with the world just softens your experience so it’s not tooooo much

These are helpful if you need to reduce the noise around you. They do not block it out completely but reduce it enough to provide some comfort. I’m very noise sensitive and use these both at home and in public. They’re small and discreet and stay in very well.

My son wears these and is happy with them for the most part. Sometime He says they don't block enough sound. When I try them I can't get them out fast enough, for me they block to much and I can hear my own footsteps that sound like pounding in my head. So he gets these and I get the soft filter type called "Flare, calmer"

Satisfecho, buen producto
