Since reviewing Flare Audio's Calmer ear inserts, I bought and tested the Loop Quiet Earplugs. What are they like? How do they stack up? Are there any drawbacks? I give you my honest (and unsponsored) impression as an autistic person with noise sensitivities just looking for some peace and quiet!

  • Have you tried Loop? How'd they work for you? When do you wear them? (I'm wearing mine right now as I upload this video, haha. Morning birds are noisy!)
  • @Reddykills
    I have ADHD and absolutely love these. I love them for sleep (though they poke my ear canal a little) and love them for noise attenuation. I find that muddied effect you describe is exactly what I need: noise is distant enough that I can disregard it with ease, but not so silent that a single noise which managed to make it through would be a huge distraction. The style is great too, I think of it as "neurodivergent chic." Thanks for your video!
  • Thank you for the review! I have ADHD and a particular sensitivity to noise so I'm thinking of ordering the new engage ones that apparently pretty good for conversation while lowering background noise. I really appreciate hearing a neurodiverse perspective on how this model has worked for you. Definitely understand the struggle of dealing with making coffee first thing in the morning
  • thank you for reviewing these! I might have to give them a try. Feel lucky to have stumbled on this video.
  • Thank you for such helpful information-I’m ordering mine today-also love hearing your little cats 🐈
  • Hi, I just got mine today. I’m also autistic and I wanted to find someone who also relates to my struggles review these. I really appreciated this video. Thank you 😅
  • Thank you so much for this! I'm not autistic but can have anxiety and panic attacks when overstimulated by too many noises. I appreciate what you said about wearing them for an hour or so in the morning to get rid of the sharp sounds. I'm especially sensitive in the morning and a bunch of loud noises makes me start the day feeling stressed and anxious. I was considering the Loop Engage so I could still hear my surroundings, but it seems like with Quiet I will still be able to hear while still having strong protection against intrusive sounds.
  • thank you really much for this helping video from autistic point of view, it really helped me and I appreciate this since it took you so much energy
  • @Beafree
    Great video! Been debating on what type to get but I think I'll try the Quiets. Thank you!!
  • @rrrandommman
    Thanks for being brave and making this video, needed some reviews on these, local traffic wakes me up at 3 am.
  • Thank you for a "true" review! As an ADHDer I appreciate the neurodivergent perspective. I'm particularly interested in finding something that blocks out other people's conversations in busy public places, like on the bus, the mall, at school etc. in your experience, does quiet block that? And what about high pitch sounds like sirens from outside, train breaks and things like that? And if it doesn't block it by itself, can you get there by using noise canceling headphones on top?
  • @samsellsjams
    I am also in the spectrum, I live with my noise cancelling headphones on at all times: in the street, in the bus, at restaurants, alone at home, when sleeping. Most of the times I struggle the most in class and lectures in uni and these seems like something that might help me. Looking at what they have I think I'll try both the quiet and engage, and maybe try them with my noise canceling headphones. Thank you for your review!
  • @GavHern
    thank you for your helpful review, colin!!
  • @shepard1711
    Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I was looking for because I wanted to know from someone like me if they would hurt while sleeping. Normally, the discomfort of wearing earplugs to sleep keeps me awake and I was hoping the silicone Loop wouldn’t hurt. I have their other two earplugs that are amazing, but hadn’t bitten the bullet for the all silicone ones. Thanks again!
  • @stealthvegan
    I have misophonia & extremely sensitive to loud noise & “soft sounds”. I have been living in my Bose Quiet Comfort so wanted something more discreet. I bought the Loop Quiet & am pretty happy. They are a bit tricky to insert & I find them a little uncomfortable when sleeping but I am now getting a bit more of a restful sleep. Thanks for the review 😊
  • @DorgYetiman
    Thanks for this perspective! Im a very light sleeper so these might do the trick. I am also considering pairing them (or the experience pros) with noise canceling headphones while im at work, so Im glad to see im not alone in thinking about doing that ^^;
  • @joyr5497
    This is great info. I'm going to purchase either the Loop Engage or Engage Plus. Thanks for sharing.
  • @sonnyangelSid
    Loud noises, almost especially in theaters, can be overwhelming for me, and being in noisy social situations, like gatherings or theme parks, can sometimes throw me off. I'm very much considering the loop ear plugs & I loved watching your video!
