Three sound modes

The McLaren Formula 1 Team x Loop Switch 2 introduces a step up from the original Loop earplugs with three different sound modes, giving users more precise control over their sound environment. Switching between the sound modes is easy with a twist motion.

The three different volume modes include:

• Quiet Mode (26 dB SNR, up from 25 dB SNR): The maximum noise reduction, designed for when users need to fully-focus in bustling shared workspaces or to block out their surroundings when travelling.
• Experience Mode (23 dB SNR, up from 21 dB SNR): This is the middle setting, giving users a balance ideal for live sporting events such as Formula 1.
• Engage Mode (20 dB SNR, up from 17 dB SNR): The Engage Mode keeps background noise to a minimum while maintaining clear audio for conversations.

McLaren design

McLaren fans will not be disappointed with the limited-edition Loop earplugs which sport the striking Papaya orange and anthracite of the reigning Constructors’ Champions. The earplugs will also sit in a special edition McLaren Racing case, which continues with the Papaya theme.

Comfort

The McLaren Loop earplugs are designed for comfort. The special edition McLaren box comes with three different ear tip sizes allowing users to get the perfect fit for all-day wear.

Pricing

The McLaren Formula 1 Team x Loop Switch 2 launched today and is available to purchase directly from Loop and McLaren. They are priced at €59.95 / $64.95.
