Swarovskı and Loop Launch Luxury Earplugs 

Swarovski has teamed up with the viral earplugs brand Loop to create a product that will protect your ears during bass-boosted live music events — all while showing off your appreciation for the finer things in life.

The new, limited-edition crystal earplugs from Loop and Swarovski come just in time for the latter’s 130th anniversary. The iconic institution tapped a well-rounded cohort of brands this year to celebrate the occasion, which, besides Loop, includes Puma, Oakley, A Bathing Ape, and Off-White. It’s also a grand moment for Loop, which has never before collaborated with a fashion house.

 The earplugs are a revamped version of Loop’s bestselling Experience 2 model, filtering noise by 17 decibels, providing a customizable fit, and allowing you to enjoy all your favorite artists perform live (whether you’re in the mosh pit or the nosebleeds) while avoiding that dreaded “ringing in ears” sensation after the fact.

Loop’s original Experience 2 earplugs are offered in styles spanning silver, holographic red, rose gold, and beyond, but Swarovski’s 3D-printed take is something completely unprecedented as far as glamour is concerned: boasting a glossy chrome build with crystals in various shapes and sizes leveling up the silhouette.
