Let the record show that I will do almost anything for Beyoncé. I will fight for my life in the ticket master queue. I will spend hours covering the mirror tiles with cowboy hats and wearing them only once. I recently learned that when there was a tornado in my city, I even took refuge in the basement of the Soldiers Field for three hours.
But, I won’t give myself hearing impairment. According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), concerts can reach noise levels of 95 to 110 DBA (A-weighted decibels) (NIDCD) – well above its recommended 85-DBA threshold. That horse can belt.
Learning about Beyhive’s advice on Reddit, I decided to wear a pair of loop earbuds in mid-May to go to Chicago’s first night on the Cowboy Carter tour. Here are five reasons why I recommend them now to anyone who attends a concert or festival this summer.
1. They do work (maybe a little good)
Loop’s lineup of earbuds covers a wide range of different use cases including sleep, noise sensitivity, parenting, events and travel. I purchased Loop Experience 2 because they are designed specifically to preserve the sound quality of live music while also damaging the damaged noise. Experience 2 Plus is slightly above slightly higher with silent silicone inserts for noise reduction.
I was impressed by the performance’s performance’s performance when I was wearing a loop. I could hear the perfect hearing of Beyoncé and her band, but the din at the stadium was almost completely suppressed. Curiously hearing what I was missing, I removed the right earbud at some point in the scene and was shocked to hear the crowd approaching the singing Bey. The loop adjusts everyone else without muffling her voice.
Mixable light speed
By the night, I had two very sore feet but my ears were very happy – no tinnitus, no headache. I reported my findings to my friend, who went on the show with me, and he laughed and said that my loop might have done too well: He obviously did some intermediate remarks that I completely ignored. Sorry, Connor!
2. They don’t look clumsy

Most concerts are fashion shows these days, but Beyoncé concerts demand the biggest killing. I like the circumferential channels at the end of the loop to make them look like the letter piercings when worn. They blend it into an existing stack of earrings, especially if you choose a metallic color scheme. (One R/Beyonce member suggests Hush holders of TikToker @Mollyvivianmcg that their earrings are clipped in a loop for safe storage – genius. ) My Experience 2 is silver, but they also come in shiny gold, rose gold, matte black, as well as a limited edition gradient mirror and holographic finish.
3. They’re super comfortable
I have a hard time finding the right earbuds and earbuds – for reference, I need to wear tight beans whenever I use Apple Airpods Pro or they fall off. My loop didn’t have such a problem, it easily twisted into place and stayed comfortable for a full two hours and 45 minutes, from “Ame Andrian Requiem” to “Amen” (even if I ran to the bathroom during the insertion). I occasionally forget to wear them.
Experience 2 comes with four sets of interchangeable soft silicon ear tips so the wearer can customize its fit. I tried all of this before heading to the show and ended with the smallest size.
4. They come with keychains.

Loop earbuds are no bigger than a few pieces of Froot Loops grains, so it’s really easy to lose them in a backpack or wallet. Fortunately, each pair contains a carrying case that is about a fair dollar. There is a rubber ring at one end so you can attach it to the keychain and insert silicone inside to ensure the earplugs are secure. It barely takes up any room inside the clear clutch I took to the Cowboy Carter tour.
5. They are available for fast, free shipping via Amazon
If you need a pair of upcoming shows, you can get loop earbuds for free on Amazon and offer free next or two Prime shipping. I should point out that the Experience 2 charges $4 more compared to the LOOP site, but the latter charges $4.95 for all orders under $44.
Note the Black Friday round-robin deals; they are not sold outside the holidays. However, loopearplugs.com offers you and your shotgun riders a 15% discount year-round.
