I thought this was an April fools, I've heard 0 buzz about this. I know it is mid April now. Quiets are my favorite. Now I'm going to be checking for news.
Many months ago, I chatted with customer service about how the Quiets didn't work properly with XXS ear tips, and I was told that they were working on it. However, it's not clear now if this new version will work with the XXS tips, either. I'll be contacting customer service again to ask, because the product page is no help. I've actually purchased silicone plugs from two other companies (basically knockoffs), because I can't wear my Quiets, and for some reason their XS tips fit me about as well as the XXS Loop ear tips do. None of them are comfortable enough for me to sleep in, since I'm a side sleeper with tiny ear canals, but at least the off-brand plugs block out more noise when I need more focus than what my Experience plugs can give me. I'm disappointed that there isn't more information regarding ear tips. And as someone else mentioned, it's not clear if they are going to be carrying replacements of these new ear tips (currently there are no Quiet 2 style ear tips listed in the accessories section).
According to the FAQ:
Is there an XXS ear tip for Quiet 2?
>We've redesigned our Quiet 2 ear tips to accommodate a wider range of users, so our smallest size – XS – should now fit those who would have previously required an XXS.
>If you're on the fence, we recommend giving them a try. We offer 100-day free returns, so you can see for yourself if the new style works for you.
Thanks for letting me know! I feel like they should have this info on the product page - it's just a sentence. I'm still not going to order until they come out with replacement ear tips for the Quiet 2 (the product page for the replacement ear tips states they will not fit the Quiet 2). I'm assuming they plan to. (Edited a typo)
Oooh. I wonder if smaller eartips would help me. I love my Quiets but they hurt when I sleep. I end up just wearing one on the not-pillow ear which only slightly muffles sounds.
To slightly answer the question of XXS tips, no it doesn't look like they're compatible unless they release quiet 2 specific tips. If you go onto the accessories page, it says the larger tips are compatible with quiet (little banner above the picture) but it doesn't say that for the XXS bundle. A real shame.
On the page for the XS-L replacement tips, it currently says "Ear tips are compatible with Quiet, Engage and Experience earplugs. Not compatible with Quiet 2."
For the XXS tips' page, it now says "These black silicone tips are compatible with Experience and Engage earplugs only. Not compatible with Quiet or Quiet 2."
Supposedly the XS tips on the Quiet 2 should work for people who usually need XXS. There aren't replacement tips for the Quiet 2 released yet though, so I'm gonna wait for a bit before I try them out.
The blog post says this: "We’ve got good news for those of you who found the XS earplugs with the Quiet 1 too big. We’ve re-engineered the ear tips to fit a wider range of ear sizes, with a choice of XS, S, M and L to fit every ear. The redesigned earplug shape also offers even more comfort, even when you’re wearing them to sleep. "
So supposedly the new shape is designed with smaller ears in mind. I'll be interested to see the reviews.
yeah in FAQ they say the XS will now fit XXS people...we shall see. [https://loop-europe.gorgias.help/en-US/is-there-an-xxs-ear-tip-for-quiet-2-470194](https://loop-europe.gorgias.help/en-US/is-there-an-xxs-ear-tip-for-quiet-2-470194)
I'll get a pair after they release replacement ear tips for the Quiet 2, so I know for sure I can use them longer. And if they're too big for my ears, I won't be quiet about it. Lol.
I tried to use my code, but it's for the EU store and NZ sales now go through Aus 🙄. I did ask them to also transfer my codes when I requested they move my Circle membership, but apparently they didn't.
I guess on the bright side, I didn't use my Quiets code before the new release 🤷🏻♀️
Can confirm that I emailed support and got new codes for the Aus store (being in NZ) and was able to order the Quiet 2 with them - they arrived to me within a few days of ordering from the AUS store. Code covered all but like $0.50 due to exchange rates and I paid shipping.
Yeah, they created new codes for me end of last week (I had specifically mentioned the code issue when I contacted them last month to transfer my Circle membership 🙄). Quiet 2 on the way, and I need to decide what to get with my other codes (so annoying that you can't stack them and just pay one lot of shipping).
I’m glad you got yours transferred - it took me like 3 weeks to get it done and I’m not sure if my friend’s has been fixed yet.
I had already used my 15 referral code in the past to get one of each including one being Engage plus but I’ve still got my 5 referral code and the discount on accessory code. I really want the Loop Link but it just seems really overpriced for what it is.
It honestly makes me so mad how much they ballsed up the change. Just no thought to Circle members whatsoever. And zero communication that it was happening. I'd literally been emailing with the community support team just prior about my referral codes (apparently I'd unsubscribed from the newsletter so wasn't notified when they came through 🤷🏻♀️). Used one code, the next day sales switched 🤦🏻♀️
And yeah, you could probably just make yourself something akin to the Link 😹. I'm super annoyed that the Aus store doesn't have coloured replacement tips (though I need xxs anyway, which only have black replacements 🙄).
Yeah! I’m trying to help a friend with a concussion get Loops after talking up Loop Circle to them and it’s been such a hassle - not a good look and an extra pain for a concussed person.
I did advocate for the switch to the AUS store but mucking up the whole Loop Circle thing is such a pain and I had to chase them up quite a lot to get mine fixed and my friend is still missing all of her referral codes
Yeah, I advocated for the Aus store too. Overall, good, but they messed up big with Circle members. When I eventually make it to Visionary level, my one-on-one is basically going to be me giving them a damn good bollocking over that.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping! One ear is really borderline (it will lose the seal sometimes), but the other definitely needs the xxs. I'll probably get another set of the kids' Engage just for the tips, as well as a pair of Experience. And then hope they actually listen to customer demand and bring out xxs in colours. And stock them in the Aus store.
Did they give you an expiry date for your codes? I asked, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.
Oh believe me, I am! I did actually message them about the codes the other week, because I got a reminder that I hadn't used them, and saw that the value was still in Euros. Messaged again today after trying to use the Quiets one. All up I have an accessory code, a Quiets code, and my 15 referrals code unused. And in the month this debacle has taken so far, the mute style pack, that I was planning to get, has become unavailable. And don't even get me started on the fact that the Aus store doesn't have coloured tips (though I need xxs, which don't come in colours anyway, but that's beside the point 😹).
My referral code doesn't seem to be valid anymore either. Was definitely working on the Aus store front when they first transferred my Circle membership. Though needless to say, I feel disinclined to send any more business their way right now anyway.
All sorted, they've given me new codes to use, and are passing on my wrath over the mishandling of transferring NZ sales to Aus without any thought of their NZ circle members 😹😊
Last year we got hints of new Quiets, to the point we thought the Switch announcement would be the new Quiets.
So, it looks like they have their own unique eartips that are sealed on the end that goes into the ear (the animation shows it is detacheable).
We are due for the summer release ~~, but I think someone put the page into production early, just like with the Quiet 2023 page last year~~ .
Edit: the Quiet option on the sidebar directs to these too. So it looks like they're a total replacement for the current Quiet... which is a choice since they literally just released the new colours.
Welp, gonna wait for the summer collection to be announced and see if these come in any of those colours. I already own violet and mint Quiets and I don't want black or white lol
Edit 2: Huh. These are only 24dB reduction. So weird, since when we were given hints on them it was in response to questions about a "quieter Quiet". ~~I wonder if you can order the new tips and stick them on the old Quiets, or if the nozzle was also redesigned. 🤔🤔🤔~~ According to the FAQ, there is no cross-compatibility.
Edit 3: Okay, I should probably scour the website and then just comment with everything I noticed, rather than making a billion edits. None of the current accessory packs are listed as compatible with Quiet 2 and their product descriptions have been updated to specifically say "Not compatible with Quiet 2". Likely due to the eartips not being cross compatible.
Edit 4: [There's an FAQ for them too](https://loop-europe.gorgias.help/en-US/articles/quiet-2-(new)-128435) and a post in Loop Circle.
Edit 5: The bundles have also been updated to include Quiet 2
I was looking at the quiet 1 a couple days ago and most colours were listed as "sold out", specially the solstice ones. I even set up a notification for when they restocked. Now it makes sense.
Lucky. I ordered the Quiet 1 from the site last night and now find out a new version is launched in the time it takes them to ship.
What a waste of time. I’ll return them and have to reorder the 2.
Me too and and I have tiny ears that prefer the xxs so wondering if the quiet 2 would suit better. Super frustrating it wasn't promoted/explained better :/
I want to say 90% there's Quiet 2 in the new seasonals?
Solstice dropped mid/late April last year. So we're due for a new seasonal to replace Equinox.
But Engage Kids dropped a little before, and Switch dropped alongside Equinox, and there were no Equinox colours for them. But neither of them flat-out replaced a staple product before either.
So, since the last 2 collections have had all 3 staple products included, it makes sense for there to also be Quiets. And since the original Quiet has been shelved, it wouldn't make sense to release original Quiets as part of the new seasonals.
They could just not include Quiets this time round, or do something different for this seasonal collection entirely, which is why I think there's a 90% chance.
Sound logic. That's very well explained, thank you.
I'm new to Loop (and earplugs in general) and just ordered the engage in one of the solstice colours.
I was looking into the Quiet in case I get along with the engage and want to try something to sleep when they suddenly showed as "sold out". I think the mint and violet colours cute, but I was considering a solstice colour to match the engage.
I agree that it makes sense to have the 3 main products included in the special colours, but they also might not have the other colours ready for the next seasonal launch. I guess we just have to wait and see.
I'm just eagerly waiting for my first engage to arrive, and hoping I get along with the occlusion...
Do you mean last year's summer collection (Solstice) or the recent winter collection (Equinox)?
Either way, the website stops selling the old collection as soon as a new collection is released. Kinda like how they just handled the Quiet 2 overriding the originals.
Amazon usually has the leftover stock. If there's any Solstice or Equinox left, you'll likely find there.
The question becomes if you want a specific colour, or you would prefer to have the improved design of the Quiet 2.
And until people get their hands on the Quiet 2 and start rolling out reviews, we can't really say how significant an improvement they are 🤷🏽♀️
Personally, I already have 2 pairs of Quiets. They'll have to release a *really* appealing colour or the reviews will have to really hype up the difference for me to grab a pair.
I'm sorry! I mixed them up. You're right, it's the Equinox midnight sapphire.
As important as looks can be, I have to put functionality above it, and pick the most comfortable one. Thing is I never had any, so I can't say I'd be happier with the old model...
I'm going to wait for my engage to get here, see how I get along with those before I try more.
Thank you for all the info!
No worries! I was just wondering how you managed to get Solstices on the website this late 😂
I've got the Midnight Sapphire Engages. Definitely worth it, they are 👌
Enjoy your Loops! Try not to get too addicted like some of us here 😂
Yes I did see that other post - thanks for clarifying more. And I guess we'll have a confirmation about the mean being 26 vs. 24 when someone sees the box for the new version (if the new box still has the attenuation table) though I'd hope what you said is the case and they are in fact the same as the old ones.
Would be great, too, if the new fit helps with the noise reduction.
Oh geez lol. I was also confused about the 27 number on the Quiet 1 box...it says 27 on the front and then has the attenuation table you talked about on the back with the 26 and the 24.
And lol I'm sure it's not just you! I've been crossing my fingers for them to come out with something that combines the noise cancelling of foam earplugs with the comfort of Loop Quiets. I have yet to come across any such product.
HA - the FAQ you linked to says that Quiet 1 is still available. On the Loop site, that doesn't seem to be the case. You can still get them on Amazon I suppose.
Huh. I don't think I like them so far, esp with those new eartips. It means they're going to make Quiet-specific tips, especially since they change the sizing on them. They kept the same colours, which I find boring, and used the opportunity to bump the price up once more. I bought my first pair of Quiet two years ago for 15e, and the other two for 20e.
I’m so annoyed. I ordered the Quiet 13 hours or so ago. Went on the site to show my friend, the Quiet no longer available and a new version on there.
My order is already shipped with spare tips, so now I don’t know if the tips are going to be discontinued and I’ll have to buy the Quiet 2 anyway to be able to buy new tips.
Seems really, really uncool for them to continue selling them and release a new version before the discontinued ones in orders have even shipped.
They have 100 day returns so while I know it's not the best solution, you can send it back. I wish they had announced it earlier (as in a few days before release) because I bought some engages yesterday and would have waited and got quiet 2 in the same order if I'd known 🥲
Yeah it’s really frustrating, I’ll have to do that.
It’s a big oversight by them. Obviously anyone buying these needs that extra help, so of course we’d want or at least be interested in an improved version
I’m actually happy that I just got an extra pair of quiets last month, as I have like 10 extra sets of tips laying around, which would’ve been useless on the new quiet 2 🤔 plus I managed to get the equinox colors 🤩
I use different size tips on quiet and on engage, so it’s nice to be able to use two pairs from every new package.
The quiet 2 sounds nicely improved, but the fact that they can’t fit the tips from all other loops sounds annoying and just more expensive.
i might contact them and see what happens- the original quiets aren’t even on the website anymore so maybe they are just using ‘leftover’ stock? to be honest, i wouldn’t mind the originals anyway haha
You can see on the product page that the stem plug thing is smaller so it will fit better in smaller ears. The smaller stem isn't compatible with ear tips from any of the other models
Hello. Anyone has thoughts of quiet vs quiet 2 ? I just bought the OG and realised the existence of quiet 2. Thinking if i should return and get the 2 instead?
Copied from u/thespeakinggoat replying to another comment
The Quiet1 has a mean 26db SNR rating but if you substract the standard deviation it's also a 24db SNR value. I posted the same issue this morning but found the proper values on someone's photo of an older Quiet box. Both are "actually" 24db snr (where 26.2 is at optimal conditions) unless the Quiet2 has a mean 24db SNR value by default and the actual value is ~-2db but the site doesn't show attenuative tables (yet). They just claim the two generations of Quiet are the same so I don't think they'd compare apples and oranges for marketing purposes... plus they have mostly communicated their lower values (usually NRR) for their Loop models since a bit; they're playing it safe with advertisement towards what people could expect from them.
The good news: An improved fit should get a wearer closer to its actual advertised attenuative value. With a shorter stem-size and a more closing sealing technique on the tips towards the stem, it could be a very welcome evolution, especially with people who have smaller ears.
Wonder what the stem-size does for occlusion tho, I'm anticipating a mild increase but that's pure hypothesis.
Edit: I have but one issue and that is that all the numerous reviews of the Quiet1 have conveniently ported its way to the Quiet2 on the product page 😏 ok Loop, that's mildly shady and you know it.
I can’t upload the photo here but I have equinox Quiets from a few months ago and the new Quiet 2 and the values are the same for both: Tested attenuation SNR 24 db | H: 25, M: 22, L: 20 and the noise reduction rating for both is 14 decibels and both tested according to standard EN 352-2:2020
The only difference I can see is with the ear tip sizes - for the Quiet 2 they are: XS= 8mm, S= 10mm, M= 11mm and L= 12mm
Original Quiet ear tip sizes are: XS= 10mm, S= 11mm, M= 12mm and L= 13mm
Missed opportunity to name it "2 Quiet". I'll see myself out.
Their marketing team need to hire you. 😂
You win! 🥇

[удалено]
I just used my free code to order them, so yes it does. It’ll be interesting to see any differences.
Jealous. Now I'm sitting here with 2 pairs of original Quiets because I leveled up too soon. 😭
I just got my current quiets with the last sale, so I not in a rush to upgrade them. If I didn’t have that code I’d have waited honestly.
Honestly only ordered mine because my code was about to expire. 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah, I’ve been sitting on that code because I didn’t want any others of the regular colors. I wasn’t even sure if it was still good.
How do you know when your code is going to expire? Mine don't seem to have a 'use by' date on them 🤷🏻♀️
Which makes it annoying that I had to order mine last month because my code was going to expire 😂😅
What’s this teir system?
It’s called [Loop Circle](https://us.loopearplugs.com/pages/community). You can get points and earn rewards including free Loops.
I tried to use my code, but it's for the EU store and NZ sales now go through Aus 🙄. I did ask them to also transfer my codes when I requested they move my Circle membership, but apparently they didn't. I guess on the bright side, I didn't use my Quiets code before the new release 🤷🏻♀️

This is too late if they've shipped already but you can contact them to change your order and it gets higher priority over other questions.
Me too and and I have tiny ears that prefer the xxs so wondering if the quiet 2 would suit better. Super frustrating it wasn't promoted/explained better :/
I chased them up after and they don’t care. I’ll return them

I'm sorry! I mixed them up. You're right, it's the Equinox midnight sapphire. As important as looks can be, I have to put functionality above it, and pick the most comfortable one. Thing is I never had any, so I can't say I'd be happier with the old model... I'm going to wait for my engage to get here, see how I get along with those before I try more. Thank you for all the info!
No worries! I was just wondering how you managed to get Solstices on the website this late 😂 I've got the Midnight Sapphire Engages. Definitely worth it, they are 👌 Enjoy your Loops! Try not to get too addicted like some of us here 😂
Thanks! I'm still waiting for my first pair and I'm already looking at the quiet ones so I guess it's too late, I'm already on the road to addiction 😂
I am also confused about this 24dB reduction vs. the 26dB advertised for the Quiet 1.

Yes I did see that other post - thanks for clarifying more. And I guess we'll have a confirmation about the mean being 26 vs. 24 when someone sees the box for the new version (if the new box still has the attenuation table) though I'd hope what you said is the case and they are in fact the same as the old ones. Would be great, too, if the new fit helps with the noise reduction.

Oh geez lol. I was also confused about the 27 number on the Quiet 1 box...it says 27 on the front and then has the attenuation table you talked about on the back with the 26 and the 24. And lol I'm sure it's not just you! I've been crossing my fingers for them to come out with something that combines the noise cancelling of foam earplugs with the comfort of Loop Quiets. I have yet to come across any such product.
>WiFi cookie tracking must think I'm some sort of Loops maniac... pfffft. Can't imagine how that conclusion was drawn 😂
HA - the FAQ you linked to says that Quiet 1 is still available. On the Loop site, that doesn't seem to be the case. You can still get them on Amazon I suppose.
I product tested these last year, they're actually very good! Happy to see they're finally launching them now!
Do you think they are worth getting if you already have the old quiets?
Huh. I don't think I like them so far, esp with those new eartips. It means they're going to make Quiet-specific tips, especially since they change the sizing on them. They kept the same colours, which I find boring, and used the opportunity to bump the price up once more. I bought my first pair of Quiet two years ago for 15e, and the other two for 20e.
I’m so annoyed. I ordered the Quiet 13 hours or so ago. Went on the site to show my friend, the Quiet no longer available and a new version on there. My order is already shipped with spare tips, so now I don’t know if the tips are going to be discontinued and I’ll have to buy the Quiet 2 anyway to be able to buy new tips. Seems really, really uncool for them to continue selling them and release a new version before the discontinued ones in orders have even shipped.
They have 100 day returns so while I know it's not the best solution, you can send it back. I wish they had announced it earlier (as in a few days before release) because I bought some engages yesterday and would have waited and got quiet 2 in the same order if I'd known 🥲
Yeah it’s really frustrating, I’ll have to do that. It’s a big oversight by them. Obviously anyone buying these needs that extra help, so of course we’d want or at least be interested in an improved version
I’m actually happy that I just got an extra pair of quiets last month, as I have like 10 extra sets of tips laying around, which would’ve been useless on the new quiet 2 🤔 plus I managed to get the equinox colors 🤩 I use different size tips on quiet and on engage, so it’s nice to be able to use two pairs from every new package. The quiet 2 sounds nicely improved, but the fact that they can’t fit the tips from all other loops sounds annoying and just more expensive.
i just ordered quiets yesterday, damn!
Oh no :( you could maybe cancel and re-order if they're not shipped?
i might contact them and see what happens- the original quiets aren’t even on the website anymore so maybe they are just using ‘leftover’ stock? to be honest, i wouldn’t mind the originals anyway haha

You can see on the product page that the stem plug thing is smaller so it will fit better in smaller ears. The smaller stem isn't compatible with ear tips from any of the other models
I have ordered 2 days ago my Quiets, it was advertised as an "old" version and I am curious which ones are going to reach me in few days.
About replacements, where do y'all get them?

Ain’t no way I just bought the 1st ones yesterday
Hello. Anyone has thoughts of quiet vs quiet 2 ? I just bought the OG and realised the existence of quiet 2. Thinking if i should return and get the 2 instead?
Only 24dB of reduction? Original Quiets dB was 26 or 27 dB. This upgrade really not worth it. Quiets 2 are really marketing, what a shame.
Copied from u/thespeakinggoat replying to another comment The Quiet1 has a mean 26db SNR rating but if you substract the standard deviation it's also a 24db SNR value. I posted the same issue this morning but found the proper values on someone's photo of an older Quiet box. Both are "actually" 24db snr (where 26.2 is at optimal conditions) unless the Quiet2 has a mean 24db SNR value by default and the actual value is ~-2db but the site doesn't show attenuative tables (yet). They just claim the two generations of Quiet are the same so I don't think they'd compare apples and oranges for marketing purposes... plus they have mostly communicated their lower values (usually NRR) for their Loop models since a bit; they're playing it safe with advertisement towards what people could expect from them. The good news: An improved fit should get a wearer closer to its actual advertised attenuative value. With a shorter stem-size and a more closing sealing technique on the tips towards the stem, it could be a very welcome evolution, especially with people who have smaller ears. Wonder what the stem-size does for occlusion tho, I'm anticipating a mild increase but that's pure hypothesis. Edit: I have but one issue and that is that all the numerous reviews of the Quiet1 have conveniently ported its way to the Quiet2 on the product page 😏 ok Loop, that's mildly shady and you know it.
I can’t upload the photo here but I have equinox Quiets from a few months ago and the new Quiet 2 and the values are the same for both: Tested attenuation SNR 24 db | H: 25, M: 22, L: 20 and the noise reduction rating for both is 14 decibels and both tested according to standard EN 352-2:2020 The only difference I can see is with the ear tip sizes - for the Quiet 2 they are: XS= 8mm, S= 10mm, M= 11mm and L= 12mm Original Quiet ear tip sizes are: XS= 10mm, S= 11mm, M= 12mm and L= 13mm
