SoulCycle Joins Forces with Loop Earplugs to Improve Experience

— April 12, 2026 — Marketing
Loop Earplugs has partnered with SoulCycle to make the Experience 2 earplugs available in studios nationwide. This move will offer riders a way to protect their hearing during the brand's famously loud, music-driven indoor cycling classes without diminishing their ability to hear the beat or follow the instructor's cues.

Loop Earplugs' Experience 2 model provides over 17 decibels of protection while using acoustic filtering to reduce volume evenly. This works to preserve clarity and allow participants to stay fully immersed in the rhythm-led choreography that defines SoulCycle's appeal.

Loop Earplugs' Experience 2 model offers black and gold finishes. The partnership also normalizes hearing protection as part of holistic wellness, similar to wearing sunscreen outdoors or using proper footwear to prevent joint stress.

Trend Themes
1. Acoustic-preserving Hearing Protection - Products that reduce harmful decibels while maintaining sound clarity create opportunities for designs that integrate audio fidelity with physical protection in noisy communal environments.
2. Wellness-normalization of Protective Gear - As protective items become framed as routine wellness tools, there is space for products and services that reposition safety equipment as fashionable, everyday health essentials.
3. Branded Functional Accessories - Collaborations between lifestyle brands and functional accessory makers open pathways for co-branded items that extend brand loyalty through utility-driven merchandise.
Industry Implications
1. Fitness Studios - High-decibel, music-forward exercise venues present openings for integrated hearing-protection solutions and studio-level sound management offerings that enhance participant comfort without altering the core experience.
2. Consumer Electronics - Wearables - Wearable audio and personal-protection devices can converge into hybrid products that balance effective noise attenuation with seamless connectivity and aesthetic customization.
3. Health and Wellness Retail - Retailers focused on holistic health could expand assortments to include stylish protective accessories positioned alongside skincare and recovery products to normalize preventive care.
