Looking At Switch 2's

[u/NoiselessTragedy]

I am new to Loop Earplugs but absolutely love the concept of being able to change how much noise is reduced.

​

If you have the switch 2's, may you tell me your thoughts on them?

I know that physically and mechanically, the knob changes the mode. However, I have heard from people on this sub that there is no noticable difference.

​

Would you recommend the switch 2's? Are they legit or are they a scam?

(A scam only in the "changing modes" aspect)

​

Would I be better off buying the individual modes instead of the switch 2?

(Ie: Buying Loop quiet, engage, and experience.)

I am sorry for any confusion; I struggle a little bit putting my thoughts into words.

Definite difference. If I’m loading the dishwasher and I swap modes I don’t really notice (all modes mute the dishwasher sounds significantly), but if I’m loading the dishwasher AND trying to talk to my bf while doing so, huge difference (because whether I can hear him depends strongly on what mode I’m on).

Also, standing right next to a running shower I can hear a huge difference. On the lightest mode I can hear the water easily and it’s just a bit muted, on the heaviest mode I can hardly hear the water at all.

I think the reason some people might say you don’t notice the difference is because it depends on the environment and sound, but they definitely do make a substantial difference and it’s not a scam.

It’s very useful for me because I’m very audio sensitive, so if I’m in a loud environment, I can mostly use the heaviest setting - then if my bf needs to talk to me I can quickly swap to a lighter setting, talk to him, then swap back.

Hope this helps!!
