'I review live music and this is how I would protect my hearing at Coldplay & Oasis gigs'

The earplugs have received a sizeable discount during Amazon Prime Day this week.

Music fans have had a tumultuous couple of months as Oasis confirmed they will be reforming in 2025 to play their first gigs since 2009. And, although Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher confirmed a string of almost 15 dates up and down the UK, the tickets were simply not enough for the demand.

Plenty of fans have instead begun flocking to resale websites to find their access to the band's upcoming gigs next year. Despite the warnings from Oasis in the first place.

After that, Coldplay confirmed they would be playing just over ten stadium shows in 2025. With shows lined up in Hull and London's Wembley Stadium, this is one of their biggest tours to date.

Those successful fans who managed to purchase tickets for any of these upcoming shows will no doubt now be preparing what they need for the gigs. And they may be looking for hearing protection for what will be the biggest and loudest shows of the year.

Thankfully, Loops earplugs have you covered. The company has a collection of different products that can protect your ears in a plethora of situations, but the most unique and useful is the company's Loop Switch.

The Loop Switch Earplugs are a compact and powerful set of earplugs that contain the company's three distinct levels of hearing protection built into one device. Between Quiet, Engage and Experience modes live music fans can retain the clarity of live music while protecting their ears from the staggering decibel levels at stadium shows.

As a music critic, I attend gigs all the time for work, and a consistent level of loud music will damage eardrums, causing reduced hearing in later life - or far sooner if the damage is worse. Whether it's an underground punk gig or attending the Jingle Bell Ball, this is something you, as a music fan, cannot afford to leave the house without.

As a result, the Loop Switch Earplugs are the perfect Swiss army knife of ear protection. Their power is that you can change the level of hearing defence with the push of a mechanism; with 25db in Quiet Mode, 21 dB in Experience Mode and 17 dB in Engage Mode.

And at the time of writing, Amazon has slashed the price of the Loop Switch Earplugs by 20 per cent for Big Deals Day, bringing them down from £59.95 to £47.95. This is the lowest price the Loop Switch Earplugs have been since they were released in 2023.

If a smaller, less bulky product is more your cup of tea, the rest of the Loop Earplugs range are also on sale right now, and are designed to protect your ears from 90,000 people screaming Wonderwall at once.

The Loop Experience 2 Earplugs have also a received 20 percent discount for the Amazon Prime Day. This brings them to just £31.95, down from £39.95.

Likewise, the Loop Engage 2 Earplugs have received an identical discount, reaching the low price of £31.95. This Loop option allows conversations to flow without any distractions bleeding through.

Finally, Loop Quiet 2 Earplugs are perfect for blocking out the most amount of noise in one fell swoop. With a 24dB defence, these silicone earplugs allow for peaceful sleep or a complete focus period. And at just £19.95 (20 percent down from £24.95), they are cheaper than ever.

Alternatively, Amazon has 17% off the EarDial HiFi Earplugs which are also billed as being ideal for hearing protection at concerts and festivals, with an average 4.7 out of 5 rating from more than 3,000 reviews. Of course, the official Loop Earplugs website also has the entire range of colours, styles and defences available right now, as well.
