Loop earplugs work by filtering sound, not blocking it. Instead of shutting out noise completely like traditional foam plugs, they use an acoustic channel and mesh to reduce volume while keeping sound clear and natural. Perfect for everything from live gigs to flights and even sleep, they make the world easier on your ears without muting it entirely.

Loop earplugs cut noise by anywhere from 16 to 27 decibels, depending on the model. For example, Loop Engage brings it down by 16 dB, Experience takes off up to 18 dB, while Quiet and Dream go even further, reducing noise by 24 and 27 dB respectively.

Yes, you can absolutely sleep with Loop earplugs. Designed for all-night comfort, especially for side sleepers, Loop earplugs combine noise reduction with a low-pressure fit that won’t dig in or fall out.

Loop earplugs can handle a splash, but they’re not built for a swim. While they won’t get damaged by a bit of moisture, models with filters (like Engage, Experience and Switch) shouldn’t be submerged. If you’re after something more water-friendly, Loop Quiet, made entirely of silicone, can be rinsed and cleaned under water.
