Loop Switch 2

I’ll admit I’m a little late to the Loop game, a couple of my friends were raving about them, but I never paid too much attention until was trying to find ways to help my focus whilst working from home with the kids off during the Xmas holidays. I can now say I’m converted thanks to the Quiet 2 so I was excited to see what the Switch 2 had to offer. It comes in the choice of four colours, Gold, Silver, Black and Emerald, just like the other Loops they look sleek, modern and discrete. What makes these stand out from their other options? They offer adjustable noise reduction, clever, right?

They come with four different-sized ear tips, so finding a comfy fit and precise seal is easy, there are now made from soft, skin-friendly silicone, so you won’t be dying to take them out after an hour. They also come with a handy travel case but if you want the Link neck cord you will need to hand over another £19. The body has been reworked for a slimmer profile and its right here that you can adjust the noise cancelling without even having to remove them from your ears. With a simple twist you can choose between the three modes, the Engage Mode (-20 dB), this lowers background noise but still lets you hear conversations clearly. The Experience Mode (-23 dB) is a happy medium—great for concerts or crowded places. Whilst the Quiet Mode (-26 dB) is the best for really loud situations when you just need some peace.

This flexibility makes them way more useful than traditional earplugs, which just block everything out. You can move seamlessly from chatting with friends, to a busy coffee shop and a loud concert, that said, if you need super heavy-duty protection (like for construction work), these might not be enough. Also, the fit may take some trial and error.

The Loop Switch 2 earplugs are a game-changer for anyone who wants to control their sound environment without totally tuning out the world. The low cost, robust build quality, good looks and different sound levels mean they are an obvious solution. RRP £54.95
