The opportunity

In the hustle and bustle of life, anything can happen. Whether you’re attending a dance festival or moving through a crowded subway station, you don’t want to lose your earplugs. That’s why Loop wanted to develop a new accessory: the Loop Link. Like any Loop product, it had to be functional, stylish, and fit the Loop DNA. They asked Equals Three to do the heavy lifting.

The approach

The project involved two main challenges. Firstly, we had to find a solution that didn’t transmit contact noises (from the cord touching your clothes or skin) to your ears. Through extensive material research, multiple design explorations, and iterative finetuning of the prototype, we arrived at a final product that had all the necessary functionalities and looked the part too.

The result

The Loop Link was officially launched in time for Tomorrowland 2023 and the first reactions couldn’t have been more stellar. Just check out the reviews on Loop’s website. But these rave reviews didn’t come as too big of a shock, really. After all, the accessory was born out of the invaluable feedback of their fans. Kudos to Loop Earplugs for listening to their community and thanks for letting us be a part of this awesome ride.

Style meets functionality

Keep your Loops close wherever life takes you with Loop Link. Magnetic. Functional. Stylish. This tug-resistant connector cord keeps your Loop earplugs safe and sound so you can run, dance and move around knowing your earplugs are always within reach.

Necklace function

The Loop Link doesn’t just prevent you dropping your earplugs during use. When they’re not in your ears, the magnets on both ends of the cord snap together, forming a necklace you won’t easily lose.

Future-proof design

Besides being highly functional as well as fashionable, the Loop Link offers countless possibilities to adapt and customize the design in the future. A perfect fit with the Loop Earplugs product line.

"Equals Three helped us with the development of a new accessory. They challenged the initial product idea, verified it through customer insights and showed the necessary engineering and design power to translate it into a manufacturable product. We are very excited to see this product go to market."
