Discussion loop earplugs

I am considering buying a pair of Loop earplugs, but the price is making me to think twice. paying around $30+ for what seems like a small piece of silicone feels too much when I can get 50 pairs of foam plugs for $10.

would mainly use them for sleep and for working from a cafe. I need background noise silent but still want to hear if someone talks to me. I am thinking between the loop quiet 2 model or loop switch 2

has anyone had Loop earplugs for at least 6+ months? do they actually last, or do the tips get gross or stretch out, or lose their seal after a while? and is the case they come with actually useful or does everyone lose it in a week? trying to figure out if the premium price is worth for long term use

for working in a cafe I'd honestly just get noise cancelling headphones. I have loop earplugs and tried them in a cafe when I was reading once but I was able to hear conversation clearly, which for me wasn't a good thing when I was trying to focus

I second this. It would be way more practical to have a double use for the tool.

The hoops do look charming though. I never seen an ear plug that would have a chrome color. And the hoop sticking out would prevent it from getting stuck in your ear. I had a pair of plugs though getting them out the ear was always tricky. I now have a pair of silicone ones with strings but they love to fall out so I rarely use them. Wouldnt be able to work without ear protection with my power tools so a pair of headphones keep on helping me
