Earplugs themselves have been great, however Loop's customer service leaves much to be desired, in addition to their website constantly being incredibly slow to load, having major errors (such as wrong images for certain colour ways - this was admitted to by their chat agent), and glitching at check out (preventing the placement of my order - I… Read more
literally couldn't proceed to check out). Their chat bot is poorly coded and wasn't helpful at all, and I found it near impossible to reach an actual human. Really disappointing.
So I sleep with a snorer , I have for 30 years. I have tried many things to block this man snoring out of my sleep with very little success. Polite tap on shoulder to a little nudge, to a little kick to a loud shuush and after many years now all I need to do is hit the top of the doona But this is not fail safe and nothing has really helped.

tried those orange earbuds, you know the ones that tradies use but they just fall out of my ear & you can hear them as they expand so you have that constant foamy sound in your ear and then they end up falling out anyway so no good. My daughter wanted to try the ear loops for noise and I came across the dream one so I gave them a crack so far pretty good. I do use them every night and they do block 95% of my husband snoring out without the expanding noise of foam in my ear. The only issue I found is that one of my ears stays in perfect all night the other one tends to move from where it’s meant to be and by the morning it’s often either fallen out or it’s just sitting in my ear But these little buds are giving me much better sleep I’m very happy with them and would recommend them I haven’t tried the actual dream ones as they were a little more expensive at $79, I wasn’t 100% sure these would’ve worked so I didn’t wanna waste my money. I think I paid like $39 for these delivered so I didn’t mind trying that but I am interested in trying the dream ones now.
Earplugs don't work – Earplugs don't work (at all). Tried to get a refund and they said, sorry (not), too bad. Show details
Good for some types of noise but not all – I'm happy with my Loop Quiet earplugs, but I think it depends on what you need them for. I ordered mine to help me sleep during the day after working night shift. They're excellent for this as they cut out daytime sounds that are coming from outside my bedroom: housemates talking, walking around, road noise etc. However, I find that they don't… Read more
work for sounds that are happening inside my bedroom (ie person snoring in bed next to me). So for me, they work for what I bought them for, but if I had bought them specifically to drown out my partner's snoring, I would be disappointed.
Ignore the flashy ads and don't bother – You've probably seen the flashy ads all over social media and been sold. I know I was. I bought a set because I want to be green and avoid contributing to landfill. For context, I bought them for the snoring spouse and do a lot of noisy housework (blower, vacuum, lawn mower, whipper snipper, etc). Pros: they look very cool! They're reusable and… Read more
come in a very cute carry case. Being made of silicon, I am not allergic to them after a night of wearing them unlike the rubber ones.
Cons: Everything else. They're not cheap to begin with and don't cut out noise like the claims. This model was supposed to cut out the most noise (other models cut out less, supposed to be for 'lifestyle' and concerts and such). With my mower, I can still hear 50% of my mower and ALL of the car noise as cars pass. It's about the same with the snoring partner. The greatest downside is that they're VERY uncomfortable wearing for sleeping - the hard ring digs into my ears and really hurt, I had to wake up to remove them (and then not fall back asleep because of the snoring).
No more comfortable or effective than foam earplugs – These are not more comfortable (for side sleepers) or effective in reducing noise (if your partner is a snorer) than the foam earplugs you can buy from the pharmacy or supermarket. I guess the only saving Grace is that they are relatively inexpensive and hopefully might last a bit longer?? Show details
Didn't make a difference – Update, while they didn't work for me, my partners have now conformed to her ears and she says she can't live without them. They cut down the background noise while still allowing for a conversation. Perfect for her needs. "My partner got these as an early Valentine's day gift so I could sleep in the same bed with her snoring. We used the inserts… Read more · 2
into to Loop that is meant to reduce sound further and made sure that I had the right fit in the ears. These didn't even block out the sound of a pedestal fan. We'll be seeking to take advantage of the 100 day return policy. There will always be a few that are faulty with any product. I will update after the outcome of the attempt at returning the Loops."
