Loop Experience 2 is the newest version of Loop's concert earplug, with the brand's ring-shaped design that sits in the outer ear and is easy to grab. Loop rates it at 17 dB (SNR), which it says keeps music clear at a safer volume, and describes it as certified hearing protection. The upgrade adds four ear tip sizes, including options for smaller ears, so more people can get a proper seal, and the plugs are reusable and simple to clean. A carry case comes in the box, and Loop will print a name or date on the back for an extra fee. The 100-day return window and 2-year warranty are among the most generous here, which helps if fit is a worry. The trade-offs are a single, fairly light strength that may not be enough near the speakers at a loud club, and a visible design that some people will not want. We could not confirm the US price from our location, so check Loop's US store.
