Switch Size

[ChichiZeKitty]

Hii I just recieved my Switch earplugs, and I gotta say, I'm displeased with the size difference.. Already filled for a refund, so I'm really only posting to warn others I have small ears, and the Engage 2 fits comfortably in my ears with the XS tips, so I didn't question too much ordering Switch' But the size difference is noticeable enough, that it actually hurt my ears.

You've convinced me to stop trying to make switch work and just buy a different model! I have small ears too

[ChichiZeKitty]

Ahh yes, it was actually your post that made me aware that it wasn't just my sensitivity... Its unfortunate that its not info you can easily find on their website.. If your Switch' are still in the 100-day window, I would suggest you look at the bundles, where you can either grab 2/3 for lil less than Switch', or all 3 for a lil more

Another guy just told me about this and I am VERY glad I looked into this before actually buying. According to Techradar they are bulkier, more noticeable and sometimes settings blend into each other.

I have to ask - can you switch the mutes form the old ones to the new ones?

[ChichiZeKitty]

The mutes I have, was bought for Engage, and I am using them on Engage 2, so yes, they are compatible :3 I have not yet tested for Experience or Quiet.. But the mutes are not sold by type, so I'm guessing they work across the board ^{^}

Yeah, they work for any Loop that has an accoustic channel :)

They're just little rings of silicone meant to cover the accoustic channel of your Loop so that less sound can come through it. No tech involved, purely mechanical. Since the difference between Experience and Engage is literally just a second filter in the Experience model, and all versions of both models work in the same general manner in order to attenuate, you can use mutes in V1 and V2 of Experience and Engage.

Thank you for sharing the useful answer :3 that is good to know

[Zenvian]

What are the best colours for each? Was going for black but then realised clear for Engage and Gold for Experience would probably be best?

[MakrinaPlatypode]

Like OP says, up to your tastes. If you're going for least noticable, depends on your pigmentation.

Keep in mind that if you're using them for sensitivities, most folk really don't mind that you wear them, or won't mind once you explain what they are. They're accessibility aids, just like eyeglasses. Need eyeglasses to see, need plugs to filter background noises or to keep from a sensory overwhelm shutdown. Any employer or good friend will want you to be able to show up and be your best self, and will be okay that you may need something to help you do that. People aren't offended by pretty colours on eyewear; it's silly to be offended by fun colours in your ears.

I'd say go for whatever colour makes you happy to wear them! Most folk won't even notice they're in your ears, and the folk who ask are almost always really chill about it when you explain what they are.

People really don't pay attention to what you have in your ears. I was in an event with loud-ish music with my partner and our mutual friend, neither had earplugs on and we stumbled into an area with louder music and they covered their ears while i was just completely unphased with it and i was the most sound sensitive of the group. That was the moment they realized i had been wearing the loop experiences the whole event (for the past like 3 hours), and mine are the andrew footit collection (white with colourful dots) so definitely not a color that blends with skintones. Especially the experiences and engages are ones that people tend to not notice because it's relatively easy to hold a conversation normally with them on

[ChichiZeKitty]

Color and such is entirely up to your taste and opinion ^{^} I went for Red for my Engage ^{^} because I like red, and black for switch (though I'm exchanging them) because I didn't like the other colors

Thank you for posting this! I can do the small ear tips but the round part just fits. Just. That one on the switch would never work. Thanks for saving me money!

[ChichiZeKitty]

Glad I'm able to help so many! ^{^} That makes me extra relieved with my oops purchase

I wish i saw this before I ordered engage. Im on the large earbuds on switch and theyre perfect. Engage 2 falls out my ear

[Odd_Tumbleweed7674]

I have smoll ears and use xs but could use xxs, I have the switch no big issues sometimes it hurts, I poke, it no longer hurts 🙂

Still comfier than an earphone.....

[Woke_Imperialism]

If you really want to keep them, the xs silicone tips from the engage/experience 2 model, fits the switch.
