Can confirm. I own a pair. Their build quality is really nice, too. They're satisfying to me to touch and hold.
I have their "weakest" one, but it still makes a lot of noises tolerable. I was helping my dad today install a new window and the hammer nor impact drill bothered me when I had the plugs in. They're able to remove a bit of the "bite" from loud noises, if that makes sense.
Only complaint I have with them is my voice and any in-body noises (I.e. Eating) become exceptionally loud. It's like it reflects everything inside back at your ears. But that's only a problem in quieter environments. In louder locations it's not as noticeable.
Otherwise I use 3M's yellow foam ear plugs, however any foam plug works for me. They're not the most reusable, but they're cheap and you can buy a big box of them.
This is my experience with the Loop earplugs too. I use them in my office environment, because there's always a ton of noise from the service department next door and the showroom on the other side of us. The in-body noises are weird at first but you get used to it (it might be harder if you have trouble regulating your voice volume; I always think I'm speaking more loudly than I do and this doesn't help), and the amount of noise cancelling is incredible. I can hear people talking to me without feeling like everyone is yelling, phones aren't as noisy, and even printers are less unpleasant.
