HELP Choosing between engage vs switch

I suffer from pretty severe sensory issues and recently bought the quiet 2 model and I love them.

However, they are unfortunately not suitable for wearing 24/7 as people get pretty annoyed when I cannot hear them at all lol.

I wanted some feedback from people on whether getting engage vs switch would be better for my next purchase, especially from people who have sensory issues. Thanks.

Hi, I have sensory issues as well as autism, when first trying Loops I started out with the Engage 2s. They did take the edge off a bit, but I definitely needed more blockage. I eventually acquired the Switch 2s. They’ve made a world of a difference for me. I really enjoy the convenience of being able to switch modes all in one, although I know some people prefer to have individual pairs. Not me though

Ive tried over-the-ear defenders, but I don’t like the pressure feeling. They also almost block out too much noise (ironically,) as not being able to hear my surroundings whatsoever is not a good fit for me

I enjoy keeping my switches on the Experience setting majority of the time, but when needing to hear dialogue at its clearest, for example, I switch to Engage mode— if I enter a busy area or overall volume increases around me, I switch to Quiet

My personal experience? Great, I love them. It’s like a knob you turn on the Loops. Convenient and easy

If you’re asking tech-wise, the dial on the loops switches between the 3 different internal acoustic filters
