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!

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.

These are great, they dampen background noise but I can still have conversations and hear easily. I have super small ears and earplugs never seem to fit, but these come with 4 sizes and the extra small fit perfectly. They are a little uncomfortable for me at first but after a couple minutes I forget I’m wearing them. They were comfortable enough to sleep with. They also come with a little carrying case which makes it super easy to throw in my purse. I wanted them to be discrete so I got the clear and nobody has noticed them so far.

They're good. They do block some noise and speech is pretty clear. I wore them to see a talent show once and putting them in made a huge difference-- the audience noise was gone and I could just hear the performers. They don't really help with my auditory processing in everyday life-- not that one would expect them to, but just to clarify since my last sentence might give that impression. They don't make speech any clearer to me, they just don't block it out to the degree they block out lower/higher noises. I brought them to a concert and didn't feel like they were really protecting my hearing, just kind of making it hard to hear the people I was with. I ended up taking them out- this Loop product isn't meant for concerts anyway, but thought I'd mention it. I don't like being able to hear myself breathe, swallow, talk, etc. but that's not a problem specific to these earplugs. Just something to consider if you haven't tried wearing earplugs regularly before. They also made me constantly worried I was speaking too loudly or quietly, so if you might worry about that, keep it in mind. You don't really notice the clear ones visually. They're comfortable. They come with different ear tips you can change out. Loop used to sell separate XXS ear tips you could buy to put on, but those now come with these, which is nice. (I think they got rid of their largest size and so XXS is now XS). I have small ears and always need the smallest ear tips on headphones, and have no problems with these. They're really expensive, and I can't imagine they cost much to make, which is why I put 4 stars instead of 5. I have bought these twice (lost the first) but switched to over-ear defenders due to personal preference. If you lose things like this, they're way too pricy to keep replacing. In this economy, I'd personally go with cheaper earplugs, even if they don't leave speech as clear. If you have the money though, they're a good product and function as advertised.

This is my first pair, and they are super comfortable and very reliable. I was expecting them to cancel sounds a bit more, but in the week I've been using them I noticed that this might be safer than what I wanted (which automatically makes it better if I'm being honest), especially for walking around the city, restaurants and caffès. I have to wear one side in a smaller size because of a tragus piercing and the other in medium, but both feel extremely comfortable and as much as I move or jump, they stay in place and work perfectly. Also, since I bought the clear ones, they are barely noticeable which I appreciate because I love the discretion they offer. I've been really liking them, they help me concentrate a lot and to make sudden or extremely loud noises less annoying (although they still are a bit, but it's manageable). Overall very much worth the try if you're in the lookout for earplugs to reduce noise in your everyday life.

I have misophonia that gets triggered with loud coughing and throat clearing. It's been a MASSIVE problem for me for years, to the point where I had to use both single-use earplugs and noise-cancelling earmuffs on a long car ride to make it even somewhat tolerable. When I saw the specs on the Loops, I was skeptical. If the overall noise cancelling quality of them is less than just the earplugs I used, how will they help? Well, somehow, they DO help!! Confuses the heck out of me, but it works! They've helped a bunch in even just the month I've had them. Not only do they prevent the fight or flight that coughing gives me, but they help with things like loud fast food white noise and conventions. And when I take one out to listen to someone better, the circle design is easy and, honestly, kinda fun to hold. I'd say the only real downside I've had so far is that, since they amplify the noise you yourself make (e.g. breathing, talking), I apparently speak a bit quieter when I'm wearing them. Can be mostly fixed by taking one out for a bit while talking. While that may be a bigger issue to some (mainly the amplified self-noise), I personally find that the tradeoff is INCREDIBLY worth it. Overall, if you have misophonia, I would HIGHLY recommend at least trying these. They might not be for everyone with the self-sound boost, but I feel like it's at least worth a try to help.

Great for anyone who is overwhelmed by sound. It helps me in situations such as in the car with a loud stereo, while vacuuming, or blocking out ambient electrical/aircon sounds. I can still hear with them and talk to someone but it makes sounds less painful and loud. The occlusion is hard to get used to and some people dislike it - sometimes if I want to use it at work l keep one ear out so I can make sure to hear clearly. I havent answered a handheld phone with them in. They stay in my ears and I like how the clear ones look because they are more discreet (but not completely, others might still notice sometimes). I use them pretty much every day and they arent showing signs of wear. The “loop” part that you hold feels durable because it’s a firm plastic but the part inside the ear is soft, I am not overwhelmed by the feeling of them in my ear and I dont feel like they slip out.

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.

Die Loop Engage 2 begleiten mich durch meinen Arbeitsalltag im Kindergarten. Wie man sich vorstellen kann, sind Kinder gerade in der Turnhalle sehr laut, so dass einem die Ohren klingeln. Wenn man diese Ohrstöpsel verwendet, ist der Lärmpegel um etliches erträglicher und man kann sich dennoch mit den Kindern unterhalten. Sehr angenehm. Die Loop kommen in einem "Schmuckkästchen" und beinhalten zur Aufsteckgröße M - was schon vom Werk aus so angefertigt ist - auch noch 2 weitere unterschiedliche Größen als Aufstecker zum austauschen. Nach dem Anpassen an das eigene Ohr ist der Tragekomfort super, man spürt kaum, dass man was im Ohr hat und hört gut damit, weil auch störende Nebengeräusche gefiltert werden. Es gibt Loop in verschiedenen Stärken und ich habe auch die Experience. Die würde ich für Discobesuche oder Konzerte empfehlen, das Hörerlebnis ist phänomenal. Für den Berufsalltag empfehle ich aber die Loop Engage 2.

This thing is legit. It actually works. In Indian context - I was around badly tuned loud speakers, dhol etc. and this made all that more tolerable for me without killing the sound completely. It’s also possible to hear people around but they might have to be close or speak up.

I can't work without them anymore! Best buy

I like using them when I’m in a group like a work meeting and a social event that needs my attention. Great for dampening out sound makes it more easy to sit in meetings. I suffer from ADHD ans autism so sounds can be distracting or unbearably annoying and uncomfortable. Great item just takes bit to get used to them

以前のバージョンの肩耳を無くしたので再度購入しました。 自分の声の反共がだいぶ緩和され違和感が以前のものより少し減ったように思います。 やっぱりとてもいいです。
