First let me start by saying that I'm an autistic female with 2 special needs kids and easily triggered by noise. I bought both the Loop Experience Pro and also the Quiet. I've had a chance to use both now and really like them both. While the Experience Pro (Experience that comes with optional mute plugs) lets in all the sound, but helps to bring it down a notch, Quiet does more to block it. I can still hear the sounds around me, but not at the volume that makes me want to rip my ears off my head and cry. In other words, you can also hear your own breathing, heartbeat, and other internal noises more clearly. And, in my opinion, they are far more comfortable than foam or other ear plugs and easier to wear for longer periods of time because they fit into the outer portion of your ear canal, unlike other ear plugs which have to be inserted more deeply to create a seal. In comparing the Experience Pro with mute plug to the Quiet, they are the same in function. However, the Quiet is very soft and easy to sleep in, even on your side. I'm personally using the medium tips that are on the ear plugs, but you also get large, small and extra small. I would highly recommend these for even children, given how comfortable they are, the smaller tip sizes that come with them, and the fact that they stay in place and don't fall out easily. Each person is different, but I personally would not recommend these for extremely loud environments like shooting ranges, monster truck rallies, construction zones or the like. I also wouldn't recommend these if you are looking to completely block out snoring. I think these do a great deal to reduce the noise, but not eliminate it. If you are needing to completely block sound, then these will likely not be the ear plugs for you. But if you are looking to help reduce unwanted noise in an environment that probably wouldn't affect most people (ie. studying, everyday public spaces, loud restaurants, etc.) these are very comfortable and really help!
