So helpful
By Kelly S. on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2023
Ok so I’ve had these for a few weeks now. I finally bought them after seeing ads for them for several months and finally getting curious enough to read more about them. I decided to get the pro version because I liked the versatility they offered. I was hesitant about the price, but they have really been worth it! I read another review that said that they don’t really come with instructions on how to use it, but the review had helpful information and I want to elaborate. The headphones come with different sizes of inserts for the part you put in your ear for comfort. But the additional piece is a soft silicone ring that can be removed on the hard outer piece that sticks outside the ear. Adding this piece seems to add more noise blocking ability. These are not completely noise canceling, but they do a great job. Diminishing a lot of sounds around you for whatever purpose you need. I bought them because I’ve been experiencing anxiety and have been overstimulated. I wore them with the inserts to a parade and party, and was pleased that most of the loud noises from the parade were diminished, but I could still hear someone if they were directly speaking to me. I’ve worn them to restaurants where I’m there with a large group. Without the inserts, it did a great job diminishing the bar music and background conversations but again, I could have a conversation with someone who is speaking directly next to me or in front of me without having to take them out. I’ve also enjoyed wearing them at home. I could sit in the living room without the inserts and read a book while my kids were on their devices and my husband had the TV on so that we would all be together but I wouldn’t have distractions and constant interruptions disrupting my reading. But I could hear my kids if they needed some thing or we’re in front of me asking a question. I even used them today with the inserts during a fire drill and they were immensely helpful. I also really love the size of the case. It’s so small that the case is easy enough to pack with me wherever I go. I tend to keep the case in my purse now, so I always have them with me. I got black in case my husband ever wanted to borrow them but I’m definitely not sharing these!

Comfortable, Stays Put, Poor Carrying Case
By Brandon on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023
I used Etymotic earplugs for almost a decade, but they fail to stay put. I find myself frequently re-adjusting them and on some nights I come home with tinnitus because they slowly fell out of place. I rolled the dice on these Loops and wore them to a 4-day 24-hour music festival. I was dangerously close to large speakers for 1-2 hours every day, and exposed to very high volumes for most of the adventure. I was greatly impressed by how well they stay fit in my ears for hours at a time without coming loose. I think they're easier to slip in and out when needed to converse. I used the additional inserts for 95% of the weekend, they make it harder to hear a conversation but I prefer the extra protection. At the end of some very long exposure to very high sound levels, I can highly recommend these for both protection and comfort. On the downside, I will say the carrying case is flimsy and I am worried it will pop open one day by accident and I'll lose them. It's also a little weird there is no easy or good way to store the extra inserts, alternative bits & sizes that come in the box. -- UPDATED: Reduced 2 stars because the carrying case is so poorly made. I've been through two pairs now, the first ones lost because the flimsy lid popped open and dumped them somewhere on the ground. The second pair had the cheap thin rubber "loop" tear out within weeks. It's not replaceable, so now I am 0/2 on this brand. I will be looking elsewhere for my next pair.
