Loop Engage earplugs come in an attractive carry case. They filter noise, but not voices, for example at social gatherings where multiple people are talking at once. Moreover, these earplugs help prevent the annoying effect known as occlusion, where the user can hear a louder version of their own voice. These premium functional features are the result of an innovative design. Available in four sizes and four transparent colours, the silicone attachments provide for an excellent feel and fit. The jury was impressed by the use of a patented acoustic channel in combination with a newly developed filter to block unwanted frequencies of up to 16 dB.
