Testimonials

Real people, real ears, real talk

Studio-tested

I spend 12 hours a day mixing tracks and honestly thought my ears were invincible. Spoiler: they're not. Bloop keeps me in check so I can still hear my own music at 60.

Athlete-approved

When you're crushing a workout, it's way too easy to crank up the volume. Bloop taps me on the shoulder before I accidentally blast my eardrums into retirement. My forehand is still mid, but at least I can hear the ball.

City-proof

Between subway screeches and honking cabs, my headphones were working overtime just to compete. Turns out I was slowly becoming the guy who yells into his phone. Bloop saved my ears—and my dignity.

FAQ

Common questions

Bloop reads your headphone audio levels from Apple HealthKit. This data is collected by iOS whenever you use headphones. The tracking is most accurate with AirPods and Beats, which provide actual measured levels. Other headphones use volume-based estimates.
