01. Product Overview & Evaluation
The Loop Quiet 2 features a redesigned flexible ring body that sits perfectly inside the ear concha. Unlike traditional earplugs that stick out, this low profile is practically unnoticeable when sleeping on your side. The soft hypoallergenic silicone tips come in 4 sizes to fit small and large ear canals alike.
Verified Strengths
- Zero protrusion makes it the best for side sleepers
- Four included tip sizes (XS-L) ensure an immediate fit
- Soft, hypoallergenic material doesn't itch or cause pressure sores
- Extremely durable and dishwasher safe
Critical Downside Observations
- Not suitable for high-fidelity music (creates muffled sound)
- Cannot block high-level gunshot noise or occupational hazards over 100dB
02. Frequency Attenuation Data
Measured noise reduction in decibels (dB) across key pitch registers. Flat curves preserve music quality, while low-pass curves muffle high pitches.
Attenuation Curve (Sound Blocked by Pitch)
Safety Ratings Breakdown:
- Noise Reduction Rating (NRR): 14 dB (EPA Standard)
- Single Number Rating (SNR): 24 dB (CE Standard)
- Testing Authority: CE EN 352-2 Certified & ANSI S3.19 Tested
Protection Profile Notes:
With an SNR of 24 and NRR of 14, it dampens the harsh frequencies of snoring or traffic, though heavy deep-bass snores may still be slightly audible. Perfect for reducing ambient sound while allowing fire alarms to cut through.
03. Fit & Sizing Metrics
Fitting Instructions & Seal Check:
Push the plug into the ear canal, then rotate backwards so the outer loop sits flush against the inner bowl (concha) of the ear. It should not protrude past the ear profile.
