The problem with a loud restaurant is not the volume, it is that the room and the person in front of you arrive at the same level. Loop Engage 2 is tuned to separate the two.
Why Engage 2
Built around speech
16 dB, tuned for conversation
Reduces the low rumble of a crowded room more than the frequencies that carry a voice, so the person opposite you stays in front of the noise.
Less of the blocked-ear feeling
A vented design means your own voice does not boom inside your head — the thing that makes most earplugs unbearable in conversation.
Light enough to keep in
Through a dinner, a shift, a school pickup. The pair you leave in is the pair that helps.
How it works
Selective, not total
The tuning is deliberately gentle. The aim is to lower the effort of listening in a loud room rather than to shut the room out, which is why the number here is lower than on Quiet or Dream — by design.
Fit and materials
Vented, soft, washable
Silicone tips in four sizes on a vented body. Wash them with mild soap; replace the tips when they stop holding their shape.
Good to know
If you want more, there is a Plus
Engage 2 Plus is the same pair with a Mute insert included, taking it from 16 dB to 25 dB when the room gets louder than planned.
Getting the fit right
How to wear them
Start with the medium tips already on the plug, and keep the other sizes to hand.
Pull the top of your ear gently up and back — it opens the canal and makes the plug seat properly.
Push the plug in and turn it back until the ring sits flat against your ear.
Listen: a good seal drops the room noticeably the second it locks in. If it does not, go up a tip size.
Rinse with lukewarm water and mild soap, dry fully, and store them in the case.

Hi ! These are absolutely amazing. I have chronic illness, fatigue and depression, and I’m very sensitive at noise and hustle. But with 3 kids (boys) I can’t always prevent them to play. So I saw loop in Instagram and I decided to try them. It’s one week that I use it and I am reborn ! I am less anxious, more calm because the noise doesn’t hurt me anymore. And the best is that I ear all the other sounds around me normaly. I am so happy and I will buy an other one soon.
Ever get frustrated because you're attempting to be productive at home but your family is either talking/arguing loudly, have their phones/TV's on the highest volume, or the dogs noticed the neighbors walking theirs and are barking/singing the song of their people at the top of their lungs? If so, these seriously help. They manage to take the harsh edges out of sounds you really don't want to hear so you can focus on what's in your immediate vicinity (while still being able to have a conversation if you need to. . . ) I love listening, learning, mixing and working on new music but with my audhd in full swing the eccentricities of my environment can take over my excitement/creativity pretty quickly which leads to my interests draining and waning until the hours when everyone's asleep. With these in, I can focus entirely on what I'm working on without distractions or being medicated (beyond caffeinated). 10/10 would (and have) recommend to anyone wanting to try an inexpensive solution to being able to coexist with your environment instead of burning out from all the resistance.
I really appreciate loop engages 2 for social situations, since they do not mute much, while keeping me sane. The iridescent version is also VERY pretty, which makes them one of my favourite sets.
I really enjoy these earplugs. I haven't used them much yet but they have been really helpful. I also got the mutes for a fun pop of colour and they do add a bit of added protection. The earplugs take the edge off of the vacuum cleaner (a noise which really bugs me), and block out other annoying electronic buzzing. I can still hear people talking to me though sometimes I do need to focus a bit more to understand the speaker clearly when I have the mutes in. The XS eartips fit well, and the whole earplugs is comfortable even though I have fairly small ears. I probably could have tried the kids version though and also gotten a good fit.
En tant qu’agent d’accueil dans un parc d’attractions pour enfants, je suis très souvent confrontés aux bruits forts, avec les Loop Engage j’arrive à protéger mes oreilles tout en maintenant une conversation claire avec les visiteurs qui se présentent au comptoir. En plus d’être discret (transparent), ils se rangent facilement dans le petit boîtier fournit.
They are awesome work great for bringing down background noise! I also love that the clear isn’t super noticeable when wearing. The only downside is that I have to take one out when speaking a lot or singing.
Tbese have absolutely been my best friend since i got them from my unjversity. I genuenly forgot i was wearing them and thats an amazing thing with my sensory overload. These have helped me be out in public without feeling overwhelmed.
My favourite of the 3 I originally bought are the calm earplugs that I use to sleep every night. They’re life savers. The engage was nice but a little too muted for a conversation. Haven’t had a chance to use the experience in a concert setting but seems to do alright while I’m at home. I quite like the mutes and the loop as well. The price point is a little steep but what I really dislike is the inability to get immediate customer service over chat or email. Hate AI chat bots and when I finally connect with a human they disappear after the first message or so. It’s incredibly frustrating. Another gripe is how the points system is organised. As soon as you use a voucher it nullifies your free shipping unless you’re at 64 dollars which makes buying a very expensive affair. That being said the earplugs are nice and the only product I didn’t really enjoy were the loop dreams.
back in 2025, i bundled the quiet, experience, and engage all together and they have all been treating me so well. i will admit i was hesitant at first that the different types would actually have different affects?effects? but they indeed do. and my friends have even reassured me i don’t speak any louder with the earplugs in or come off in any different way when i’m wearing them. unfortunately i just moved a long distance and the pair i lost was the engage ones :/ but since i now live with my toddler niece and nephew i rebought the engage pair and i do not regret it
Loop Engage Iridescent are my everyday essentials. They’ve made shops feel calm instead of overwhelming, reduced background noise at work without blocking conversations, and genuinely improved my daily functioning. Plus, they’re absolutely beautiful and comfortable to wear all day
We have two amazing young kids who love playing very loudly. My wife is sensitive to loud noises and these have really helped keep her from getting overstimulated.
I take my beautiful loops everywhere! I get overwhelmed easily. Overstimulation gets real. I just pop in Loops and I immediately feel calm. I use them at the bars, even in the busiest of places - these Loops ‘turns down’ the volume of the background, and allows me to still hear my friends and hold conversations.
I purchased the Engage 2 earplugs a few weeks ago and I'm surprised with them! Several friends recommended them to me and I was expecting to reduce my sound overstimulation, but it gives me much more: I'm autistic and I have ADHD and it helps me to feel focused and to "slow down" my thoughts! I don't know how this two tiny things make that magic but it's almost an instant relief when I feel "accelerated".
Negli ultimi mesi, ogni volta che amavo in giro, mi trovavo con amici e c’era tanto casino mi veniva spesso mal di testa. Con questi tappi, sento tutto ma più basso. Mi sta salvando le giornate in compagnia
Those are fantastic ! I’m an autistic school teacher and I wear them the schoolyard and inside of the corridors, public transports. I can hear children clearly but everything is calmer. Children conflicts are easier to solve because screams are way less irritating. I’m using them in private life too when it is overwhelming, coffee, bus, ect The clear version is very discreet and perfect for work I also own the green version which is beautiful Case is very practical
I absolutely love these, they're definitely my favorite from all the Loop Earplugs I own. They allow me to have some inner peace while still listening to other people talking.
I like the fact that i can hear everything and at the same time hear nothing. Like i know what is going on around me, but the sounds are under control and i easily focus when i have something to read. Like the earplugs understand when i want to hear and when not. So if you work in an open space with 300 people who all speak different languages and have different computer sounds and personal sounds, this is a great solution. You still hear everything, but it’s not disturbing.
These were an immediate help my first outing with them. Being overstimulated is less of an issue. It muffled enough noise for me to enjoy conversation. Plus they are so cute and indiscreet
Feels good, sits decent in the ear. But most importantly, has a clear difference in how I feel when I have them on compared to when I don't. Has helped me focus and feel confident in social situations that feels. . Life changing. No kidding. I might be one of those with a problem (autism or ADHD) but can't get diagnosed due to it not being a big problem. So in short, these earplugs are a life changer but I hope I can have them on for prolonged period. Time will tell.
My ears are too sensitive to high frequencies like a snare, idiots who overdrive and hit the rail on their music amplifiers, certain cell phones that screech voice, and even people around me who talk too loudly. I need about 8-10 dB sound suppression in the high frequencies 3-6 kHz. These are ~15 dB across the vocal range 1-4 KHz. A little too much at high freq and unwanted at lower freq. It isn't perfectly tuned for me but I love it still! So comfy I can wear them all day. They don't fall out of my ears. And they look like I have a piercing and it is body jewelry -- infinitely better than some blaze orange foam sticking out of my ears.
Very useful on conserving energy when you are socially anxious in a crowded room. For me, it was fairly obviously affective and even when I didn't need them they provided a sort of sugar pill, everything is allright assurance.
They soften background noises and allow me to still hear closer voices in conversation. Decreases the sharp and crisp parts of sounds, really good for sensitive ears but still wanting to hear people.
A perfect addition to my Loop collection. I use these for social and work events where there are a lot of people talking and laughing at once. Engage help me stay focused, they also look great.
These earplugs are just perfect. I wear them in everyday life, leaving me relaxed. The Quality is perfect, the fit nicely. Protection - they protect my ears and my nervous sistem. The color is beautiful.
These are great - the new earbuds are easier to clean than in the original set. They're comfy and easy to adjust - and most importantly they work really well! They don't completely stop all noise, they reduce it and you can hear a light muffle as people talk. Great for getting away from noise!
the Engage 2 feel like a great evolution over the Engage 1 while keeping what i love most about the Engage: their versatility and subtle translucent aesthetic. they are my go-to daily pair, and the Sublime collection builds on that experience with beautiful colors.
This is my second pair. Bought these to keep in my bag for when I forget to wear them before leaving the house. My life has changed since I've been using them. I can communicate normally with whoever is around, and although I can still hear what is happening around me, the surrounding noise level is so low that it I can easily ignore it. Thanks to these, I feel less anxious and end my day feeling more serene.
I am party-deaf. All my life, I’ve been having difficulties following a conversation in a crowded café or restaurant, in a train or in a place with loud music, like at a party. Then I heard about Loop earplugs and I decided to buy the Engage 2. The earplugs may not be perfect - no crystal-clear conversation without any disturbing sound - but they come a long way. They do keep the hubbub at a distance and it’s much easier for me to take part in a conversation in a restaurant now. If only these things had been invented half a century earlier!
Life changing earplugs. I bring them everywhere now which is easy to do with the small case. Especially useful when traveling to very noisy cities like Bangkok and Saigon, where I wear them pretty much all the time when on the street. Much more discreet than yellow foam earplugs. Easy to clean by popping off the caps and soaking in warm water.
I enjoy these earplugs a lot. The clear color is so discreet that it's difficult to tell that I am wearing them at all. I enjoy wearing these the most when I'm at loud restaurants and don't want to be overwhelmed by the noise. I can still hear conversation very clearly, but the loud noises are dampened. It is a bit of a relief to wear them. I will say that these work best in louder environments when people are already projecting their voices - in quieter environments with softer voices I have to strain a bit to hear people. This is not a problem for me, since I use these to navigate noisy environments where people mostly project. When I talk with these on, my voice sounds louder which is a bit of an adjustment, even though these are advertised to minimize a "blocked ear" sensation. They are only a little better than the quiet 2 pair that I have. Not a big deal to me, but maybe for others. In terms of the feeling and fit of these earplugs, they are great. I experimented with the size somewhat and, and the small earplugs fit great for me. These earplugs don't fall out which was what I struggled with for other brands. It is a good solution for people who don't want to constantly push in the earplugs. With discounts I think these are maybe worth the price for people who plan to use these very long term and often. They are certainly helpful for my life with my noise sensitivity issues and have improved my calmness a lot in loud environments where I still need to talk.
Great product. Saves me from being overwhelmed and overstimulated in really busy places but still able to hear things I need to. So good I even got my husband some! I really love the colour too. Now need to buy some quiet ones to completely keep the noise out.
