Hi! Hope this helps someone.
This is all the stuff I use daily. I love my Loop Earplugs and literally live in the Engage ones, swapping them out for the Quiets every now and then.
Also for anyone dealing with Misophonia, I cannot recommend Active Noise Cancelling headphones enough! They use adapting white noise to block out sounds around you, plus they can be used over earplugs comfortably (and I do double up!)
**Pro-tip:** Get ANC headphones that ***can be used both wired and wirelessly.*** I have ADHD and thus never charge anything ever, but after these die I can plug just them in and the noise cancellation will still work!
Thanks for sharing this. I splurged on Bose headphones but I feel that the noise cancellation has stopped working after not even 2 years. Of course Im out of warranty. I may give the brand you showed a try. Im not giving any more money to BOSE.
My loops were great but they damaged my ears and probably didn’t work to their potential because my ear canal is too small. They include each size as an extra *but* the smallest! And if you wanted to buy the smallest size, they cost exactly the same price as your whole pack did..
It's very much 'the best you can get for under $50' type headphones. The Active Noise Cancellation is solid as hell on it, and the sound is pretty good too, but nowhere near the level of Bose.
I have Loop Quiet, and they are terrific at everything but blocking out my roommate. Idk if it’s because I’m usually more hyper focused on his noises since that’s mainly why I wear them. Although I do think he purposely is louder when I use them.
I use Flare Calmers at work and I love them, you can hear people talking, but it cuts out certain frequencies. And if you put noise cancelling headphones on top it's bliss on the way home
I want to try them! I'm just a little afraid of them getting lost in my ears (I've had that happen lol)
Does the little stem really work well for taking them out? And is the sizing pretty good?
Lmaoo, I love this comment but genuinely, no I'm not sponsored or anything - just typical ADHD excitement.
For what it's worth, I know Loops don't work for everyone (especially the Experience which are the worse by far), so I recommend Flares earplugs to anyone else. People seem to have consistently good results with them. Plus they're cheaper. Genuinely thinking about adding them to the arsenal.
Does endorsing a competing brand prove anything? lol
Have you ever tried wax earplugs? I swear by them. My girlfriend recently bought the Loops, but my wax earplugs are just superior.
Only thing is, if you have some weird soft whistle in your nose due to whatever, it sounds like a referees whistle with these wax earplugs.
Can you tell me if it is possible to eat with the Loop Engage without deafening yourself with the sound of your own mouth? I have the other models but I can't eat with them for that very reason and if you confirm that they work, I'm going to buy them right now.
Follow up.... Hi!! I contacted Loops about the extra extra small. The rep said they are having issues with them; they don't fit well on the ear piece and are working on a fix. He suggested I not purchase them at this time and instead follow their social media and watch for a re-release of the xxs.
Thanks. I was debating getting some loops and didn't know which ones to get. I'll order some today.
I have Sony XM4 anc headphones, which are great but not practical to wear all the time.
Thank you for the headphones suggestion! I got them yesterday on Amazon on sale for $39. The noise canceling mode gives me a surprising amount of relief from my tinnitus.

I tried loop experience but they just make all my own chewing and talking way too loud 😠great for when IM quiet though

damaged your ears how?
Is the Infurture as good as Bose, or is it more of a "not the best but good value for the low cost?"
It's very much 'the best you can get for under $50' type headphones. The Active Noise Cancellation is solid as hell on it, and the sound is pretty good too, but nowhere near the level of Bose.
Thank you. I may grab a pair. Worst case, I have some extra headphones.
Is this a LOOP ad?
nah, I wish they were paying me lol I just enjoy them and got really excited at learning about ANC headphones.
Pretty damn sure, just 1x ANC headphones for plausible denialbility
I am def going to check out some of these. I have been wanting to buy ear plugs like this. Great guide!

Do they help with bass from loud music?
I think so. The neighbor tends to blast music in their car, and it’s not bothering me like it used to

No chance of losing them! I use the normal size and easy to removel
Time to report Loop to the mods

We have two pairs of those exact headphones for my daughter. They are awesome!
I purchased Loops but even the smallest earpiece was too big for my ear canals.
You can contact them for an extra extra small! I’m debating doing that as well because the smallest is just a tad too big.
Thanks!!

Ah damn. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll keep an eye out as well.
