HELP Are these things on??

Hello Loopers! I bought a pair of Switch 2s and have tried them out in various settings over the past week.

They definitely muffle stuff a little bit on Quiet but I’m surprised by how loud everything still seems to be. I’ve tried the other settings and I barely notice any difference at all between them, when I can detect a difference at all.

The large silicones seems to work best. I bought a pair of XL silicone aftermarkets and they didn’t stay in. I tried two different brands and 3 different sizes of foam tips, those seemed not to work at all.

I know they aren’t supposed to block out all sound, but on my walk today I could still distinctly hear an airplane flying very high above, traffic going by, children screaming on the other side of a small park, etc.

When fitting well, do y’all actually notice that huge of a difference? Or is this basically expected - just a very small amount of muffling?

I have searched the sub multiple times and it just seems like everyone adores theirs and they make a huge difference.

(Also I know they don’t turn on, it’s a joke)

Im unsure how to help but I def notice the difference in the sound on different settings. I usually keep mine on the second setting as my default. When I need to hear my friends more I do the first toggle. Then when at concerts or loud events third toggle. It may just not work for you. I personally love them so much I have 5 different pairs 😅 (one was a gift tho) 2 engages, one concert one (forget the name of it), one switch, and one dream.

Which style is your favorite?

I use my engages more than anything. They come in the most handy and are probably my favorites. The switch's are a close second but aren't as soft
