These ‘cult’ earplugs promise sleep next to a snoring partner, but here’s what actually happens

9. Leden 2026 v 13:45

As reported by UNILAD, Loop Dream earplugs are quickly gaining attention among light sleepers looking for relief from a snoring partner. Marketed as a dedicated bedtime solution, the earplugs have developed a near “cult” following online, similar to how everyday tech tools have quietly stepped in to fix problems people didn’t realize they had, such as when Gmail introduced built-in help for poorly written work emails.

Rather than resorting to sleeping in separate rooms or enduring sleepless nights, many people are turning to Loop’s range of reusable earplugs. While the brand already offers options for concerts and daily noise reduction, the Loop Dream model is specifically designed for overnight use, tapping into the same growing demand for tech-driven solutions now extending even into children’s toys with AI features.

Loop claims that 91% of users reported improved sleep quality when using the Dream model. The earplugs provide up to 27 dB (SNR) of noise reduction, which is intended to soften disruptive background noise without fully blocking out important sounds.

Comfort appears to be the deciding factor for sleepers

One of the most common issues with sleep earplugs is discomfort, particularly for side sleepers. Traditional foam plugs can cause pressure and irritation over time, but Loop addresses this by combining memory foam with soft silicone and shaping the earplugs specifically for lying down.

The Loop Dream uses oval Foam-Silicone Tips designed to follow the ear’s natural shape. The package also includes Loop Dream Double Tips, offering additional sizing options to help users achieve a secure and comfortable fit throughout the night.

Customer feedback frequently highlights their effectiveness against snoring. Several users report that the earplugs significantly reduce disruptive noise while remaining comfortable for all-night wear. Reviews also note that finding the correct size is key, with some users discovering that larger tips provide the best seal.

Another commonly mentioned benefit is that the earplugs do not block out all sound. Users report being able to hear alarms or voices while still reducing constant background noise, which many consider an important safety feature.

Travelers have also responded positively, with some using the Loop Dream earplugs on flights and noting that they stay securely in place. Loop includes multiple tip sizes with each set, and once the correct fit is selected, users are advised to insert the earplugs and hold them in place for several seconds to ensure a proper seal.

The earplugs are available in several colors, including black and pastel options like blue, lilac, and peach, allowing users to choose a style that suits their preference.

A wide selection of EA games have been reduced on Amazon ahead of Black Friday, including Battlefield 6 and Split Fiction.

Black Friday might be over a week away, on November 28, but many retailers have already started cutting prices in preparation.

Sony has already announced its Black Friday deals across PlayStation 5 games and consoles, including a big £135 discount on the digital edition of the console. Meanwhile, Nintendo has knocked down the prices of various games, including Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom, as part of its sale.

If you’re after titles beyond these companies, Amazon is currently holding an early Black Friday sale on games from EA.

As part of this promotion, EA Sports FC 26 is down to £37.99 on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, which is a massive 33% discount. It’s even cheaper if you’re after the Nintendo Switch 2 version, which is 54% off at £27.85.

The other headline deal is Battlefield 6, which is already £20 off at £49.99, despite only coming out a month ago. If you’re on the fence, some of the game’s multiplayer suite will be free to everyone later this month, or you can try the battle royale mode Redsec.

Best gaming deals in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale

Beyond this promotion, Amazon has a bunch of games at discounted prices that aren’t by EA. These include Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds at £37.95, along with action role-player Hell Is Us, which is 30% off.

The premium edition of Doom: The Dark Ages is a massive 45% off at £54.95 (the same price as the standard version), and comes with a digital artbook, soundtrack, and access to future campaign DLC. The SteelBook version of Monster Hunter Wilds on PlayStation 5 is similarly very cheap too, at £29.95. You can check out other deals below.

More new prices will inevitably roll out over the coming days, so we’ll keep you posted on any new ones, and keep an eye on other retailers as well.

New World has merged down to nine global servers to kick off its maintenance mode era

7. Listopad 2025 v 15:30
Prior to the launch of Nighthaven, New World fans had been itching for another round of server consolidation and then, ideally, new fresh start servers. I don’t think anyone was expecting either of those things after last week’s Amazon corpo revelation that the game has been demoted to maintenance mode, but then everything that’s happened […]
