Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs
Best for: Most people — reusable, comfy, side-sleeper friendly
The reusable default — washable silicone flanges that block a solid 24dB in a slim, side-sleeper-friendly shape for about the price of one foam box.
Worth itReusable silicone that survives nightly use - foam plugs at the same price are consumable.Loop Quiet 2 is where most people should start. Instead of disposable foam, it uses soft silicone flanges that sit in the outer canal, wash clean, and last for months — so the higher up-front price quietly beats a foam habit over a year. It ships with four tip sizes so you can actually get a seal, blocks a respectable 24dB SNR, and its slim low profile is the reason side sleepers tolerate it when they can't stand bulkier plugs. It blocks a touch less than deep-insert foam, and you do have to find your right tip and seat it properly — but for comfort-per-dollar it's the easy recommendation, backed by nearly 30,000 reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Loop Quiet 2 vs Mack's foam earplugs?
Foam blocks more raw noise (33 dB NRR against Loop's 14 dB NRR) for less money, but you replace it every few nights and some ears hate the deep plugged feeling. Loop Quiet is reusable, washable, slimmer for side sleepers, and comfier for most — at the cost of a few decibels. Maximum quiet on a budget: foam. Comfort and reuse: Loop.
Loop Quiet 2 vs Loop Engage 2?
Quiet is the sleep-friendly one — Loop rates it up to 24 dB SNR, well above Engage, aiming for a quieter room rather than a silent one. Loop rates Engage at 16 dB SNR and says it keeps speech clear, pitching it for conversations and parenting. Choose Quiet for stronger reduction and Engage when clear speech matters.
Loop Quiet 2 vs Loop Dream?
Dream is Loop's newer sleep-specific plug with foam tips, but it launched to mixed reviews (around 3.7 stars) while Quiet 2 sits near 4.2 across far more ratings. Unless you specifically want Dream's memory-foam tips, Quiet 2 is the safer, cheaper, better-proven pick.
Do Loop earplugs fall out at night?
Only if the tip is the wrong size or not seated. Work through the four included tips until one seals with a gentle twist; once seated they stay put for most side and back sleepers through the night.
