Loop Earplugs

Loop Earplugs is a Belgian brand that has revolutionized the hearing protection industry by merging high-quality acoustic engineering with stylish aesthetics. Founded in 2016 by childhood friends Maarten Bodewes and Dimitri O, the company began with the goal of creating earplugs that people actually want to wear. Unlike traditional foam earplugs, Loop products use a patented acoustic channel and mesh to filter sound rather than just blocking it out, making them popular for concerts, sleep, and managing sensory overload.

While the brand was founded and is headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, the actual manufacturing of the products and their carrying cases (like the one pictured) primarily takes place in specialized facilities in China to ensure global scale. The brand remains privately held by Loop Earbuds NV, continuing its rapid growth as a lifestyle-focused hearing wellness company.
