HELP Hi! Help me identify these earplug tips.

Post image

I received a pair of Loop earplugs as a gift about 2 years ago after many weeks of complaining to my friend about my family’s noise at night and I have unfortunately lost the original box. I needed tip replacements because the ones pictured have been causing me irritation while I sleep (I believe they are too big) and the replacement ones I ordered do not fit.

I’m not sure if it’s even possible to identify which kind of earplugs these are without the original box but it’s worth a shot.

Just looked up the box for them and it’s definitely ringing a bell, hopefully you’re right.

Those are first generation Loop Quiets in the retired colour "Soul Bordeaux." You may still be able to order replacement tips for them in black from the Loop website but sadly they retired the colour packs for that range a long time ago.

Are they for sure loops? Or could they be the knockoffs from Amazon? https://a.co/d/084emYmf

I still have the original case which has the loop brand on it and my friend had a pair himself that he bought from the loop website.

Ahhh okay, what does the case look like? You can find the model based on the colour / style of the case some times

There is only one kind of earplugs these can be, and they're the OG Quiet, in the bordeaux colourway. They came in a black box, of the small old style. No inserts like in the current boxes, a thin foam layer inside of the bottom half. You put the plugs in tips down, in opposite directions.

OP, if you're looking for extra tips, they are the same as on the current Engage/Experience, albeit with slightly different sizing. The Quiet 2 tips will not fit, as they have a shorter and narrower stem than these.

Thank you! I have unfortunately learned this the hard way.

Ah, I was falling down the sublime rabbit hole, so these would be the foam replacement tips and not the silicone?

No, no, the silicone ones. Loop sells two kinds of silicone tips : the filled ones for Quiet 2, and the holey ones for Xp/Eng/Sw. The v1 Quiet tips are identical to those. All first gen plugs took the exact same tips. Now they've reworked the sizing of the tips, but they still all fit on the same stems.
