If you’ve spent any time at a rail lately, you know that the “IYKYK” accessory of the season isn’t a pashmina or a pair of diffraction glasses—it’s hearing protection. But we’re not talking about those neon foam plugs that muffle your favorite ID into a muddy mess. We’re talking about Loop Earplugs, and they just leveled up in a massive way.

In a move that proves hearing health is officially “mainstream-cool,” Coachella has named Loop its first-ever official earplug partner. To celebrate, the duo has dropped a limited-edition collaboration that’s designed to look as good as the desert sunset feels.

Desert Hues & High Fidelity

The Loop x Coachella Experience 2 isn’t just a rebrand; it’s a tribute to the Indio valley. The earplugs feature a stunning gradient design, blending soft peach and “dreamy blue” to mimic the shift from a California sunrise to those iconic festival nights.

But beyond the aesthetics, these are built for the heavy hitters. Whether you’re at the Sahara Tent losing it to a high-octane techno set or catching a headliner on the Main Stage, these plugs offer 17dB (SNR) of filtered noise reduction. The magic lies in the acoustic channel and mesh system, which lowers the volume without sacrificing the clarity of the music. You get the full spectrum of the sound—the crisp highs and the thumping lows—minus the dreaded “festival ring” the next morning.

Designed for the Mosh Pit

Let’s be real: losing an earplug mid-set is a vibe killer. Loop has addressed this with a festival-ready ecosystem:

  • The Case: Each pair comes with a matching Coachella-branded carry case that clips right to your keys or hydration pack.
  • The Link: For those who go extra hard, there’s an optional Loop x Coachella Link connector cord (sold separately). It’s a sleek, wearable cord that keeps your plugs secured around your neck—think of it like a stylish bolo tie for your ears.
  • The Fit: With four sizes of silicone ear tips included, they’re designed to stay snug whether you’re headbanging or shuffling.

Why This Matters

For years, the dance music community has had a complicated relationship with earplugs. We love the music loud, but we want to keep hearing it for decades to come. By partnering with a titan like Coachella, Loop is shifting the narrative. As Loop co-founder Dimitri O put it, this collaboration is about making hearing protection “a more natural, welcome, and intrinsic part of live music culture.”

How to Grab Yours

The limited-edition Loop x Coachella Experience 2 is available now for $39.95, with the Link connector cord priced at $29.95.

If you’re heading to the desert this April, you can snag them online at Loop’s official site while supplies last. For those already on-site, keep an eye out for Loop’s mobile vending booths and merch stands scattered throughout the festival grounds.

Don’t wait until the bass starts rattling your ribcage—grab your pair and protect your peace (and your hearing) this festival season.
