Comfortable and stylish festival earplugs
From Tomorrowland to Coachella, festivals offer an escape where you can lose yourself in the music. But exposure to loud music can put your ears at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, hearing damage and tinnitus – and the longer you’re exposed to loud music, the greater the risk of hearing damage.
The average festival is as loud as 97 decibels – and at that level, it can take just 30 minutes for potential hearing damage to kick in. But luckily, there’s a simple solution: earplugs for festivals. They protect your ears from potential damage, without spoiling any of the fun.
Benefits of wearing earplugs at festivals
If you want to enjoy the full experience while minimizing the risk of hearing damage, earplugs for festivals are a must.
They’re a physical barrier that reduces the amount – and the intensity – of sound entering your ear canal. That means your ears are protected from potential damage, and you’re less likely to suffer from noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus.
When you’re at a music event, you want to be able to hear every word sung and every note played. So when you’re choosing ear protection for festivals, look out for earplugs that keep the sound quality clear.
Earplugs for festivals also reduce auditory fatigue by lowering the intensity of loud sounds. That decreases the strain on your ears, helping to prevent the overwhelming feeling that often comes from continuous exposure to high volumes – so you can enjoy the music comfortably for longer periods.
Why wear Loop Earplugs for music festivals?
The best earplugs for festivals are Loop Experience 2 Plus. Traditional foam earplugs muffle sound but Loop Experience 2 Plus combine a patented acoustic design, membrane and mesh to filter sound quality rather than blocking them out completely. That means the sound quality is always crisp and clear – but at a volume that won’t damage your ears. The Loop Experience 2 offer 17dB (SNR) noise reduction plus an extra 3 dB when you use the Loop Mute.
With memory foam and silicone ear tips, they’ll nestle snugly in your ears – no matter how much you dance or move. The silicone tips come in 4 different sizes too, so you can find the perfect fit.

Tips to survive a music festival as a beginner
Earplugs are a must for any festival experience – but what else do you need to know ahead of your first festival? Our festival survival tips will make the experience much more enjoyable.
Packing essentials: It may be tempting to pack tons of great, festival-ready outfits, especially if you’re a first-timer. But try to resist this urge. However, there are some packing essentials you should bring:
- Wet wipes
- Hand sanitizer
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat
- Rain coat
- Snacks
- Toilet tissue
- Portable charger
- Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated: You’re having fun in the sun, dancing and enjoying a few beers – it’s easy to forget to drink water. But as you’re going to be doing a lot of walking in the summer heat, the last thing you want is to become dehydrated, which is sure to spoil the fun. When your body is dehydrated, it can lead to low blood pressure, reduced cognitive performance and, in some extreme cases, medical emergencies. So it’s important you keep up your fluid intake.
Sleeping at festivals
Let’s face it, you’re never going to have the best sleep ever at a festival, they are busy, overwhelming and overstimulating. But, there are ways to make it more comfortable! Taking a step back, whether you go for a quick nap in your tent or just find a quiet place to rest while wearing earplugs, can help to prevent burnout and ensure you enjoy the experience. Discover more tips to sleep at a festival and get the best out of your experience.

Frequently asked questions
How effective are festival earplugs at reducing noise level?
Loop Experience earplugs are designed to reduce noise levels by up to 18 decibels, and you can get an added 5 dB of protection with the Loop Experience Plus. The average festival is 97 decibels, which can cause potential hearing damage after just 30 minutes – so if you’re going to be spending hours or even days dancing and raving, festival earplugs can help to reduce noise levels to a much safer level.
Will wearing earplugs affect the quality of the music or sound experience?
It depends on the type of earplugs you choose. Traditional foam earplugs can muffle music as they’re designed to block out sound waves. However, Loop Experience are built with music in mind, and they filter sound rather than blocking it so wearing them doesn’t affect the experience.
Can I still have conversations at festivals with others while wearing earplugs?
Whether it’s your first festival or you’re a veteran, one thing’s for sure: connecting with other festival-goers is the best part (alongside the music, of course!). If you’re a social butterfly and want to chat at festivals, try Loop Engage, which are designed so you can engage in conversations while reducing the volume.
Can I dance and move around freely without the earplugs falling out?
Yes! Dancing is all part of the fun, after all. Our earplugs come with different ear tip sizes so you can get the perfect fit. Once they’re in place, they shouldn’t fall out – but for added peace of mind, you can use the Loop Link so you never lose your earplugs.
Can I still enjoy the bass and low-frequency elements of the music while wearing earplugs?
While music festival earplugs are designed to reduce the volume and intensity of sound, they’re also designed to maintain a balanced listening experience. That means you can still enjoy the bass and feel the music as you dance the night away.
Do earplugs affect the overall atmosphere or ambiance of the festival or rave?
No, as the best earplugs for festivals are made with the atmosphere in mind, filtering noise rather than completely blocking it out. You can still soak up the vibes, but your ears will be better protected. Win-win.
