Loop Dream is Loop's earplug made only for sleep, and it fixes the main complaint people have about the brand's ring-shaped plugs at night: the part outside the ear. Dream uses a low-profile body made from the company's softest silicone, which Loop says reduces pressure for all-night comfort when you lie on your side. The plugs come preloaded with oval foam-silicone tips that follow the shape of the ear canal, and the box adds a second style called Double Tips, each in four sizes from XS to L. That gives eight fitting options, which matters because a plug that does not seal will not block a snoring partner. Loop rates the noise reduction at 27 dB (SNR). A bedside case with a no-slip bottom keeps the plugs in one place. The catch is price: $49.95 buys one set, while foam plugs cost a few dollars a pack. Loop offers 100-day returns in the US, which lowers the risk of trying them.
