PRESS RELEASE
Loop introduces Loop Switch 2, its latest innovation in sound control. Featuring three adjustable noise reduction modes – Quiet, Experience and Engage – Loop Switch 2 allows users to seamlessly adapt to any environment, whether at work, commuting or relaxing at home. Building on its award-winning predecessor, Loop Switch 2 enhances sound clarity, protection and comfort for an unmatched auditory experience in any setting.
“Our goal is to make hearing protection seamless and stylish, integrating it into everyday life through innovative technology,” says Loop co-founder Dimitri O. “The original Loop Switch transformed how people control sound, but Loop Switch 2 sets a new standard with major improvements in comfort, design and performance.”
Three Adjustable Modes for Any Environment
Loop Switch 2’s three precision-engineered modes are certified for hearing protection and tailored to different soundscapes:
- Quiet Mode (26 dB SNR, up from 25 dB SNR): Maximum noise reduction for focus in shared workspaces or creating a calm bubble while traveling.
- Experience Mode (23 dB SNR, up from 21 dB SNR): Filters noise while preserving rich sound by utilizing its acoustic channel, mesh filter and membrane, ideal for live events or immersive listening.
- Engage Mode (20 dB SNR, up from 17 dB SNR): Clarifies speech while softening ambient noise by activating its acoustic channel and mesh filter, making it ideal for video calls in bustling cafes or social settings.
User-Centric Design for Maximum Comfort
Shaped by user feedback, Loop Switch 2 features a slimmer profile and hypoallergenic silicone ear tips for all-day comfort. The upgraded design improves noise reduction in Quiet Mode, while maintaining clarity in Experience and Engage modes. A redesigned mechanical dial ensures more intuitive and tactile transitions between modes without removing the earplugs. Available in premium satin finishes (Black, Emerald) or glossy (Gold, Silver), Loop Switch 2 is fully manual, requiring no batteries, apps or charging – offering grab-and-go convenience for busy lifestyles.
The Future of Sound Control
With its next-generation technology and user-focused design, Loop Switch 2 redefines how we manage sound in everyday life. “Loop Switch 2 gives people unprecedented control over their sound environment,” adds Loop co-founder Maarten Bodewes. “We’ve pushed the limits of what a single earplug can achieve, combining precision and convenience so users can focus on what matters most, without distraction.”
