As part of the newly launched ‘BPM Recommends’ series, where we feature standout products, it was clear from the beginning that the debut review had to highlight a product both vital to the music lovers but also from a brand we believe in. With this in mind, over the summer of 2024, we had the opportunity to engage with Loop Earplugs and test their products extensively. From the basic Loop Quiet 2 to the Loop Experience 2 and the adjustable Loop Switch—now in their latest refined version Loop Switch 2.

Loop Switch 2 : If Apple Made Earplugs.

Before Loop, hearing protection consisted of either garish foam plugs or uninspired pharmacy staples—neither practical nor reusable, and far from appealing. Founded by friends Maarten Bodewes and Dimitri O in 2016, the original Loop earplugs were designed with the effects of tinnitus in mind, limiting the decibel intake without compromising on sound quality when you’re out at festivals or music gigs.

And year after year, Loop disrupted this space by offering sleek, innovative, and cutting-edge products that are now as much a fashion statement as a necessity. With Loop Switch 2, the (r)evolution is now complete. Every aspect, from the unboxing experience to daily use, reflects the brand’s attention to detail. Loop’s design philosophy can be summed up as: “If Apple Made Earplugs.” This includes the smooth unboxing experience featuring the opening tab to the everyday use of the earplugs.

Where user-centric design meet cutting-edge performance 

The Loop Switch 2 features three precision-engineered noise reduction modes:

• Quiet Mode (26 dB SNR): Perfect for blocking out the world during travel or when focus is paramount.

• Experience Mode (23 dB SNR): Ideal for live events, preserving audio quality while reducing volume.

• Engage Mode (20 dB SNR): Tailored for clarity in speech-heavy environments like cafés or video calls.

The earplugs are incredibly comfortable, thanks to hypoallergenic silicone tips and a slimmer profile, making them suitable for all-day use, They feature a tactile mechanical dial that allows seamless transitions between modes, and the product’s premium satin (Black, Emerald) or glossy finishes (Gold, Silver) elevate it to a stylish accessory.

The earplugs come with a durable carry case and four interchangeable ear tip sizes for a secure seal and day-long comfort.

A redefined experience on the clubbing island

Testing these earplugs in Ibiza’s dynamic environment—day and night, on dancefloors, DJ booths, and even behind the scenes—gave us unique insight into their performance. From DJs and music workers to production and stage managers, everyone put Loop earplugs. The results were unanimously positive.

We've tested the Loop Quiet 2 with some security staff, the Loop Experience 2 with music lovers, and Loop Switch 2 with DJs and stage managers revealed its profound impact. Testing the Loop Quiet 2, all security staff praised the model by reporting improved focus and reduced stress, attributing it to the efficiency to cut the ambient noise.

Meanwhile, music lovers were unanimous in their praise, highlighting the Loop Experience 2’s ability to preserve the full audio spectrum—maintaining treble clarity on the dance floor while protecting front-row listeners from overpowering bass, ultimately helping to prevent tinnitus.

Artists and staff shared the same positive feedback about the Loop Switch 2, with its versatility receiving particular love. They highlighted how easy and convenient it was to wear continuously and seamlessly switching modes as they were moving between the stage & backstage.

While Loop’s high-end made quality has been noticed, the aesthetic design also garnered attention, especially the earplugs’ silver finish as a chic reminder of their presence.

Why wearing earplugs matters 

With more & more world-knowned DJs and producers speaking out about living with permanent tinnitus, the issue is gaining attention. Alesso recently announced a career break due to ongoing hearing problems, and just days ago, Martin Garrix revealed on Raj Shamani’s podcast that he, too, suffers from permanent tinnitus, explaining: “I have a tinnitus. So it's like 'eeee' all the time. Everybody should wear earplugs. You don't want to have this. There’s a non-stop like a beep. It’s like 10 mosquitoes around me all the time.

The May 2024 Apple Hearing Study highlighted the urgency of hearing protection, with 77.6% of participants experiencing tinnitus at some point in their lives. Noise trauma remains the leading cause, especially in the music industry. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reminds you should only be exposed to 100db for 15 minutes to avoid hearing damage.

Faced with these statistics, protecting your hearing isn’t optional—it’s crucial, especially if you want to follow Loop’s ethos of living ‘Your Life at Your Volume’ by offering multiple tools to enjoy music safely without compromise.


Loop Switch 2 Final Verdict

The Loop Switch 2 represents more than just a product—it’s a statement about the future of live music lovers.

Whether you’re a DJ, producer — using your ears as working tools — a music lover, or someone working behind the scenes, these earplugs are just a no-brainer investment. From their sleek, standout, stylish design (special mention to the upcoming Coachella-exclusive limited edition color—see below) to unparalleled comfort, they embody innovation and practicality.

That's also why we love the Loop Switch 2 so much; the perfect blend of a breathtaking style & great user experience, so pleasant that they are forgotten and then integrate naturally into your daily life.

If there is a drawback, it is the lack of a cord in the box to connect the earplugs, however this problem can easily be solved with the purchase of a Loop Link sold separately.

In conclusion, the Loop Switch 2 delivers on every front: style, performance, comfort, and user experience. For anyone who loves music, they are an essential must-have in your bag, alongside your sunglasses and wallet. Invest in Loop Switch 2 pair today, your ears—and future self—will thank you.
