  • Curious about Loop earplugs? I'm Dr. Laura Sinnott, audiologist and audio engineer. I've been excited to try them out! Most of my clinical work has been with musicians who use in-ear monitors and earplugs, and so I admittedly have become quite critical of companies with huge marketing claims. How did the Loop Engage Plus earplugs pan out? For the super fast summary, skip to 6:40. They ARE Tuned-approved earplugs!

    My God! That was like the best product review I've seen in ages. You have literally measured everything and put the pros and cons with utmost sincerity.
    I am an Indian living in a noisy house and Loop is expensive for me, so I had apprehensions. Also, I felt like Loop earplug is just plain marketing thing...now I know that it's definitely a decent product to protect your ears. Thank you❤

    I'm working at preschool. Children in number 20-40 - it's hard to concentrate to the point we (adults) can just go in circles not knowing what is actually going on. After work it's hard to come back to yourself. I hope that earplugs (loop?) will change level of noise to bearable and I still will be able to hear the children speak.
    This review seemed to me very professional and is really helpfull in decision making process whether to buy or not this particular earplugs. Thank you :)

    I got loop engage on Christmas Eve and I didn't have to endure every annoying conversation at christmas table :) Plus it's easier to listen to someone (if U want to) with one earplug in when there's TV on.
    But generally with earplugs loop engage I am able to maintain normal conversation with people (even if someone is wispering - I just have to focus really hard). My own voice has this reverbration effect which is a pretty big drawback. But I think I'm getting used to it

    Can you make a recommendation for an earpiece that works well but has a lower occlusion effect? I wore these at a work show and had some trouble with that.
    I do however like how these are clear so that it looks less obvious that I’m wearing them

    Hi! I know I'm a tad late here after video posting, but I'm so curious about one matter..
    Does Loop advertised "patented technology" really do anything in favour of its performance? I'm talking about this air cannal, accustic channel and mesh, membrane (in Experience). Or is it just fancy marketing? You said that the occlusion is still strongly there. Further I thought one more thing... Will not the whole mechanism and supposed occlusion reduction be cancelled if you shove their mute inside? Doesn't it propably block it/ clog it? Then what is really the sense of the mute by logic?
    Great content!
    Greetings from Poland!

    What earplug(s) do you recommend for listening to live music *and* conversation (ie less occlusion), for someone who prefers silicone or foam vs multiple flange tips?
    Also: the audio/science nerd in me LOVES your data-focused method and your subjective opinions - thank you!

    Soooo, I'm debating on buying these, because i read; "they tune out other sounds but make voices clear." I work in a fast food kitchen, it has alot of LOUD obnoxious noises but peoples voices are so quiet. but im getting mixed review about these saying they just sound like muffled voices. (not what im looking for.) I wanted to find eaplugs that ACCTUALLY focused on the voices MORE than the other random beeps and vents, and loud fryers. Can these do that?? Or Am I wasting my time. Is such an earplug even exist yet? NEED ADVICE.

    It's all Paid marketing 😂
    LOOP Quiet is a complete SCAM..
    They won't fit in your ear as they show.. S, L, XS nothing..
    And noise reduction is only 14db or less...
    You should try any Foam earplugs.. Way better than loop
