'The cult earplugs I can't live without have a huge Prime Day discount'
It's happened — the cult earplugs I rely on for good night's sleep, I never get on a plane without and are always in stashed in my work bag are at their lowest price ever in the Amazon Prime Day sale.
I'm talking, of course, about Loop earplugs. TikTok famous, donned by almost everyone attending The Eras Tour and most likely nestled in the ears of your poor colleague seated nearest the coffee machine, they're known for their unbeatable comfort, impressive noise reduction and ability to dampen sensory overload for those prone to overstimulation.
I'm such a fan that I have every model the brand makes, but my absolute favourite, the Loop Quiet 2, are currently priced at £19.95, their lowest price ever.
So what makes them so great? Read on for exactly why these deserve a spot in your Amazon cart before the sale ends at midnight tonight.
Smarter noise reduction
Unlike traditional earplugs, which use foam to fill the ear canal and muffle sound, Loop earplugs use an acoustic channel, mesh filter and membrane to reduce all frequencies equally. This keeps everything sounding natural, just quieter. Then this tech is topped off with flexible, silicone ear tips, which work to seal the ear canal.
Clever stuff, and I can confirm that this combination works incredibly well. Background noise is filtered out while louder sounds are significantly reduced. Roaring plane engines are no match, nor are comically loud snoring partners, nattering co-workers or the imbeciles who insist on racing their modified-engine cars down my street at 2am. Basically, they provide a sense of calm that seems increasingly hard to come by otherwise!
Unparalleled comfort
The Loop Quiet 2 are the squishiest earplugs the brand makes. They use a flattened, flexible silicone loop rather than hard plastic, meaning they move with you and don't dig in if you're a side sleeper like. Once you get the correct fit (see below), you can barely feel them in your ears. I've worn them non-stop on long-haul flights with zero complaints.
Pro tip: team with a Drowsy Silk Sleep Mask for the best flight/night's sleep of you life.
Secure and customisable fit
Each set of Loop earplugs comes with a range of differently ear tips, so you can find the perfect fit — bear in mind you might need different sizes on each ear.
To insert, simply take the ring of the earplug between thumb and index finger, place the bud into your ear, then twist clockwise until your ear canal feels sealed. The loops should lie flat, rather than sticking out.
While the Quiet 2 are a little harder to insert than some of the other Loop models — this is because your anchor point (the loop) is flexible rather than rigid — once they're in they do not budge.
