Loop

4.4

(73)

"I love my Loops. Cut out the perfect amount of nice while still being able to hear shit."

"Loops Quiet! They save my extremely noise sensitive ass every day!"

"I use the quiet 2's during exams. It makes taking tests so much easier because i don't hear the sniffling, coughs, random suffles, and other little noises."

"I love my Loop Switch 2 for during the day and my sleep is so much better with the Dream earplugs."

"Second for loops. You can do cartwheels and them sombitches won’t fall out. Good decibel level without being noise canceling."

"I bought some Loops and wish I used something way before now. I’ve wore them to 3-4 shows now. They fit well and don’t come out."

"I like my Loop plugs. Great for shows, and great for loud rooms like busy restaurants etc that tend to trigger my tinnitus."

"Loops are gud."

"Love my loops. Have also heard eargasms are great."

"I have the Loops Experience and they're great, fit very snug and are way more comfortable than any of the foam ones I've tried."

Eargasm

4.6

(29)

"Eargasm all the way!!!"

"Eargasms were the only one that provided truly crystal clear sound."

"Eargasm all day"

"Eargasm! any knock off eargasm style doesn’t do a justice to the real ones."

"Eargasms for sure. Impeccable sound quality. They’re the top of the line hi-fidelity earplugs that aren’t custom fit."

"I use Eargasms and they work great. I bought the connector chord which comes with a slightly longer attachment for your keyring and it’s great."

"I use eargasms, been using them for about 3 years now and i love them!"

"Highly recommend them."

"I love them - it’s like turning down the volume of the concert, but you can still hear the music perfectly."

"Eargasms, Loops."

Alpine

(10)

"Something like Earasurs work great & if you put them in good the might stay even while head banging."

"Earasers."

"I've tried 7 brands, by far the best are earasers."

"Earasers- $50 :) "

"Earasers and eargasms get recommended a lot."

"Earasers were my favorite non-custom ear plugs."
