Loop Earplugs Review – Expert Lab Testing and Live Audio Samples
I recently acquired a pair of Loop Experience Plus Earplugs and measured their performance in the HearingTracker Lab. In this video review, I’ll provide my overall impressions and share some audio samples to show you just how effective the Loop Earplugs really are. So, put on your favorite headphones, and get ready to experience Loop for yourself.

Mine just arrived today! I’ve worn the foam ear plugs for bed for years and fancied a change after seeing these. I haven’t even been to sleep in them yet but am not impressed with them. I’ve tried all the sizes so far and none feel comfortable or like they even fit? On top of that they don’t even sound like they block the sound out like my foam ones. Will see how I go in bed tonight but know it’s going to be pointless.
Thank you brother 🙏🏾
I’m just wondering if an audio spectrogram would show all frequencies held at the original “level”, just turned down? Do you know if the highs affected more than the lows? Do these turn down the Db level without distorting the original too much or too little frequencies because that would be exactly what I’m looking for (band practices and concerts).
I’m sorry but am I the only one that heard no difference at all between the earplugs Vs the mute?
Is no one going to point out his desktop. That’s nightmare fuel 😅
First of all thank you for the great review, I have recently started trying the loop experience plus. I read the full review on hearing tracker and i was a little worried about the discovery that sound is actually amplified if the fit is not tight. In a night club or a concert an amplification of 12 Db is basically a death sentence, so i am worried that if the fit slips it will become very dangerous ?
Another thing i noticed is that although sound is attenuated and i can actually be comfortable in the club, i do start hearing the music base more than seemingly other frequencies, i don’t think its louder than it would be on open ear but it does seem louder than the other attenuated frequencies am i using them wrong?
I am trying to find the actual science of how these work. Of course there is no information out there. Snake oil?
I just did not get the last part where it said "Now Level Matched" as it didn’t show any differences when the loop was in. Can anyone explain what this meant?
Thanks for your video! Do you think I can use this earplugs for music production?
Sounds to me that the open ear canal sound sounds as a fucked up equalizer with higher frequencies turned way too loud. That isnt how a normal sound system would sound. So basically, they just lower the higher frequencies?
I lost my Alpine Pro and I think I will get these for concerts.
職場の人が小声での独り言が耳障りでloop experience plusを買いましたが、声は聴こえるものの全体の音量を下げるので、気にならなくなりました！
また、たまに不愉快な質問をされる事もありその時は聴こえないフリをして、スルーできるのでそこも魅力的！
engage程ではありせんが、仕事中の会話も問題ありませんでした！(そんなに会話は必要性ない)
ミュートをつけて23dBですが、仕事中にはちょうどいいdBなのでは？と、思いました！
loop Switchも魅力的ですが、私は聴覚過敏ではないですし…現状loop experience plusで問題なら購入は見送ろうかなと思ってます！
What is an incredible review! Thank you for testing the product so thoroughly. I really enjoyed watching this. I appreciate you🙏🏼
Are they good for a DJ wearing them under headphones?
Hi steve thanks for the review! Im wondering if you know the multi flange tip like the Etymotic ER20XS is somehow better than the Single silicone tip of the loops?
Honestly thats my only worry, i have a theory the multiflange blocks out noise better? But idk if thats true! And i know you ranked these higher than the etymotics, but still would like to know ur thoughts.
Context ive used the etymotics before but unfortunately lost them and in the market for new plugs

Will using comply foams on it provide any additional reduction? will that affect the sound quality? Thank you for the detailed review. It’s next best thing after actually testing one.
So they improve the music EQ. Awesome.
What’s the point of those earplugs? Do they play music by themselves? Otherwise why not get some noise cancellation??
Steve Taddei, let me say, you have a pretty packed windows desktop.
What’s de propose?
Does it work at home not to hear your flatemates making noise?
Someone tell me I’m not the only one who barely hears a difference between the loop on its own and the added mute function
At least I know I’m not missing out with getting the cheaper ones haha
Playback speed 1.25x. Much better
I have researched to find the PRO to purchase but ALL I find is the PLUS. Is it the same??
Thank you.
But I still don’t understand the benefit(s) of the loop earplugs over traditional earplugs made of foam or rubber. I have very sensitive ears. I wear earplugs everyday and even sleep with earplugs. I never go to a concert, theatrical play, movie, or out to dinner without earplugs.
Thank you!
His Desktop makes me sad.
Have you tested the Loop Switch? I’d be interested in seeing how they work as well! 🙂
Hi .. any review for good ear plugs for shooting?? Any suggestions?? For strong gun shootings
you gotta take care of that desktop hot mess
You should be a part of the apple event the way you talk and sound like.
Can anyone tell me how do I connect loop earplug with my phone to listen to the music?
In the level-matched example it almost seems louder with the earplugs in. Yikes.
I don’t hear a difference at all in the second one.
Commercial vid. Last two they sound the same.
Hey, nice review.
My english isnt very good and i dont really understand the second test (Now Level Matched).
Can someone explain please?
Thanks for the great test!
What was the reduction of sound in dB?
Hey everyone, we are going to start reviewing earplugs again! If you have a spare moment, please take this 2 question survey about earplugs. It’ll help us decide what tests to do and how best to convey the data.

Why don’t we just use earbuds that is turned off?
You should try this out with the switch ones!
I can’t hear any difference from the second one
Great review. I currently use the Alpine Musicsafe Pro when playing in my brass band but I’m considering these as they seem to have a lot more definition at the higher end. That would help a lot with tuning and intonation. What’s your thoughts on using these as a musician?
Interesting test and comparison, it would be interesting to hear the difference between loop and other earplugs from disposable ones to Flare Calmer 2 which isn’t meant to block the sound but only the higher frequencies. I’ll have to check your other videos to see if you have tested any others… and hopefully you found better ways to shoot your videos. You tilt your head back a lot so the camera is seeing straight up your nose. If I was shooting your videos I’d be trying to find more flattering angles.
Ok, now do it with Slayer.
Hello, which would you reccomend, these or the higj fidelity Eargasm??
so basically they do nothing.
I could hear no different with the mute. On the level match, there was no difference in any of them. What did I miss?
What the hell is the point of wearing earplugs when listening to music.. if it’s too loud just reduce the sound
damn, it does sound more bearable and better imo
I now bought these and regret it. They’re super flat and don’t do much.
