EargasmSmaller Ears Earplugs - Blue High Fidelity Filtered Noise Reducing Reusable Ear-Plugs for Kids, Women, Men - Hearing Protection for Live Concerts, Motorcycles, Festivals, Sporting Events

I'm an avid concert goer and been using Loops Experience earplugs for several months before I lost them recently. I love going to concerts but using earplugs really helps protect my hearing from how often I go and prevent the headaches I would experience after an event. I took the prime day deal as an opportunity to try out the eargasm earplugs to see which earplugs are better (spoiler: the eargasms win). Here is a lengthy review using the Loops Experience as a comparison to help those in the future who are struggling to pick between the two.For context, I am a woman in their 20s so my ears are a bit small. For example, for my Airpod Pros, I use XS eartips if that helps. Even for the Loops, I had to use the smallest eartip and they never once fell out of my ear even when I went to heavy metal concerts. They were also very comfortable to wear. For the eargasms, I never really had an issue of them falling out but I do admit that I have not tried them out in a setting where I'm moving alot or stuck in a mosh pit. They are also very comfortable.It's also a bit upsetting the lack of colors and extreme price differences for the eargasms. I would love to rock some cute pink earplugs if it weren't an extra $10-$15. The loops are more stylish and have more color options without having to spend an extra couple dollars to get the color you want.Now on to the REAL reason why I choose the eargasms over loops: the occulation. Although the loops are WAY more stylish, it's not great if hearing yourself bothers you. When you wear the loops, everything you say is enhanced so you hear even more of yourself while breathing, singing, swallowing, etc. They do a great job of dulling down other people's singing/talking while allowing you to hear the band/singer (but it also makes it difficult to hear the person next to you like a friend). Admittedly, I have not used the eargams in a very loud setting like concerts as of yet, but I used them the other day when I was at a bar with many people around. The noise was very overwhelming but the eargasm made my experience way better. It toned out the loud noise but I was still able to hear clearly. But I never had an issue with my earplugs falling out of my ears as of yet compared to other reviewers.Another thing worth noting is that there was only about a 2 decibel difference between my old Loops and the eargasm but I feel like the eargasms allow more clarity for the music whereas the loops emphasized the bass. The quality of the music was overrall much better on the eargasms.The case of the eargasms is also very exceptional. Very secure and sturdy as the lid needs to be screwed on. It is a bit chunky for my keychain but not a big deal. The loops case lasted me for a while before the string that connected the case to my keychain broke, hence why I lost them :(The only reason why I'm giving the eargasms a 4-star is simply because I haven't tried them out in a concert setting which is the main reason why I bought these earplugs. However, based on everything I written above, I really do like them and hope to change the review to a five star after my next concert outing.update: so after going to the charli xcx/troy sivan sweat tour (was in pit and had a spot at the barricade) i can officially change the rating to five stars. I was less than 6 feet away from the performers for majority of the time and these earplugs did its job!!! I left the venue without any ringing or hearing loss. Despite jumping around and dancing, the plugs stayed in place. Granted, i did feel like I had to press on them at least twice to make sure they stayed in place. But that is to be EXPECTED based on the situation I was in. I also used them in several other concerts but this experience really solidified my opinion. The sound quality was also really great and a huge improvement over the loops. Will be a repeating customer if I ever lost my current pair of eargasms!

[Background information]:I've been riding motorcycle for 6 years now and I use them to commute between my home and school/work. I don't exactly have the quitest exhausts on my motorcycles and that coupled with wind noise causes for a deafening ride, quite literally. Wanting to preserve my hearing, I've always worn earplugs, foam earplugs to be specific. I found that they were the most comfortable and effective way to block out sounds, unlike many rubber, silicone and other types of earplugs that I've tried (I even had custom earplugs from my audiologist at one point, but they were too bulky to fit under a helmet - I still do use those for other loud tasks though and they are amazing in terms of effectiveness and comfort, but a bit pricey).[My thoughts on the earplugs]:Now comes these earplugs. At first, I just thought it was just going to be another pair that wasn't going to work well, however they looked different than the ones I've had before and it sparked my interest. The price was fair, so I pulled the trigger. I'm so glad I did!These do not block out as much sound as my disposable foam earplugs, however they were just effective enough to drown out the wind noise I experience at highway speeds. I was pleasantly surprised. The added bonus to these not blocking out as much sound as my foam earplugs is that I can now hear my intercom and bluetooth speakers (in my helmet) much better! Whereas before it was really a struggle to hear my music or a phone call even at full blast.I found that the acoustic filter isn't as good as they make it seem, while it's functional and does provide a clearer representation of the sound you're supposed to hear without earplugs, it still sounds rather muffled, but I supposed it's hard to get around physics! Especially at this price point, which is actually amazing for what you get.[What you get]:In the package you get two pairs of ear plugs, one slightly smaller than the other. Mine had the acoustic filters already installed in the larger of the two. You also get a nice little carrying case, that I will be attaching to my motorcycle key (since I have a habit of losing everything I own) - a carrying case is pretty standard nowadays with reusable earplugs, but I'm glad they didn't overlook it. As a side note, I don't know If I like that the carrying case is shorter, because the consequence of it being that way, is that it's wider. I would really have to use it more to comment on it.[Conclusion]:All-in-all, I love how these worked out for me. It was pretty much what I was looking for, for the past 6 years of riding motorcycles. If mine go out from wear and tear, I'll definitely be ordering a replacement pair.
