Loop's Switch 2 earplugs offer a new design with improved sound filtration and a smoother dial for adjusting between three levels of noise reduction. The earplugs come with four sizes of ear tips for a comfortable fit and a compact hard plastic case for easy carrying. They are designed for concerts, festivals, and sporting events, and can reduce noise by 20dB, 23dB, and 26dB in Engage, Experience, and Quiet modes, respectively. In a test at a 100dB rock show, the Switch 2 provided better sound quality and more detail than the Sennheiser SoundProtex Plus, which is now priced at $50. The Switch 2's Experience setting was recommended for concerts and sporting events, and it worked well in a live show setting. The earplugs are certified for hearing protection, meeting both EU and US safety standards. They are priced at $59.95, which is $10 more than the Sennheiser option but offers better sound and ease of use. Loop's earplugs have been praised for their secure fit, which stays in place throughout use. Overall, the Switch 2 offers a better option for those looking for a balance between hearing protection and sound quality.
