3M PELTOR Ear Muff Hearing Protection, Cap Style Hard Hat Attachment, X Series X1P3E, NRR 21 dB, 1 Pair, Construction, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Automotive, Woodworking, Black/Green

These are my first set of earmuffs so I really have nothing else to compare to, except a pair of Bose QC25 active noise canceling headphones (which I'm now returning because these earmuffs are so good!). That said, these earmuffs are fantastic. Absolutely unbelievable sound isolation for the asking price, which was just under $12 at time of purchase. The earpads, and pretty much everything else about the muffs, is built like a tank and definitely feels like it's built to last. That is not to say they are not comfortable, because they are! The ear pads provide a smooth seal around your ear, so long as you have medium to small ears. It is possible that they might overlap with ears on larger heads. The adjustable band makes it easy to find a great fit, too, though I must also point out this is probably designed for smaller heads, as I have to use them fully extended for my most comfortable fit and I have a medium-large size head. In terms of noise isolation, these beat the Bose QC 25, which were $300 headphones, for a fraction of the price. I guess the moral of the story is if you want noise isolation, get earmuffs and not headphones! And if you still need music in your life, just pop some in ear buds underneath. I use a pair of in ear buds under these muffs and the noise isolation improved even more. I could stick my head right next to a window air conditioner on full blast and I couldn't even hear a whisper - even with no music playing! These also look great and I feel no shame or embarrassment wearing them out in public with earbuds underneath. I think they blend right in, especially these days when pretty much half the people on the streets are walking around with their enormous over ear headphones. Fantastic product. Will order more in the future, almost definitely!

We have a couple drummers in our family. These earmuffs work great for a drumming student when practicing. They fit over the ear and seal around the ear without pressing on the ear, so they are quite comfortable. They block out enough of the acoustic drum kit to play without damaging your ears and it is still possible to speak with the person next to you. I have also tried them with my Etymotic Research ER7-MC3-BLACK-I-A MC3 Noise Isolating In-Ear Headset and Earphones for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch - Black earphones underneath them. I use the Etymotics almost every day and I love them, but I don't like the way they feel under these earmuffs. I know some drummers play this way, but it didn't work for me. I do not like them for playing along to music. (That is what I was trying to solve it the Etymotics under them.) If I play music through my stereo, then I really need to crank it up to play along. If the volume is too low, I can't hear it well enough to stay in sync with the song. I use Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones. when I want to play along to music. They to not fit over the ear like these and they put a bit of pressure on the ear when wearing them. When I turn from side to side, the seal opens up a bit and I can hear the volume of the drums get much louder in that ear. They are adjustable and they fit our 8 year old as well as my wife and I. For the price, you can't go wrong with these earmuffs. They are great for practicing on an acoustic drum kit. I can't comment on how they work for outdoor equipment as ours re used only for drumming.

Item arrived promptly in factory box, was clean and undamaged. Installed on an ERB industries Americana hard hat. Box instructions not very clear and in one case wrong. To install rotate tab away from ear muff and shove through har hat slot until it clicks. Consider it a permanent install as fit is very tight. Rotation to back of head storage position works well but takes a lot of pull to get ear muff over hard hat edge and onto ear. Fit on ear is tight but this might considered good as ear muff pad is soft. Fit is tight enough that hard hat does not fall off looking down even without chin strap so found useful for attic crawlspaces, etc. As best can tell the standby position shown on the box does not exist so if doing a lot of on off work this may not be the one. A Bluetooth version (not tried) might minimize need for frequent on/offs. Worked well over standard eye glass frames but have not tried with heavy safety glasses.

World’s greatest headphone for children with autism. Lightweight and provides just enough pressure to satisfy the need for pressure as well. For my fellow parents who have a child with autism you know exactly what I mean. Also the padding comes out easily if needed. Very easy to clean as well. One size does seem to fit all. It’s made very well and can survive being thrown across the room. 😆

I did not buy these muffs for noise-reduction. I have a sports car that creates a lot of turbulence on the freeway. They work great for protecting my eardrums from the buffeting, and also keep my baseball cap from flying off. I actually removed the foam from the inside. I can hear car horns and sirens. The low profile of the muffs is great in this application. The muffs are well-made and seem durable. If you are looking for MAXIMUM noise reduction for working with very loud tools or firearms, these are not for you.

If you’re a heavy machine operator, just go ahead and purchase one for yourself. Easy to lower and raise the ear muffler, you can also just raise one so you can talk to someone and put it back. Very comfortable as well.

I bought a rather loud leaf blower. Great performance but left me with ringing ears. These hearing protectors were the perfect solution - comfortable, effective, and affordable. I highly recommend buying them - but before buying your leaf blower.

Good protection, light, and comfortable.

En mi opinión aprietan mucho, demasiado...

I kept this in my van as a spare. When it was time to use it fell apart almost straight away, the outer foam fell off and couldn't be placed back. The customer representative wasn't very helpful. Complete waste of money, will never buy this again.

DIYでの作業時に装着しています。 驚いたことに、締め切ったガレージの中で集塵機と丸鋸を使用してもストレスをほぼ感じることなく作業をすることができます。本当にお勧めできます。 イヤーマフは、高い製品になればなるほど遮音性も向上しますが、その分大きく重くなるので、満足できるならば安く小さい製品で、必要なスペックを満たすことをお勧めします。 完全な無音を求めるのであれば上位製品をお勧めしますが、日常生活の話声や隣人のノイズといったものから、作業時の高音や機械音を低減するといった使い方であればまずはこちらの製品から試してみることをお勧めします。 耳へのあたりはソフトで使用感も悪くはありませんが、若干締め付けは強めなので、そちらが過度に気になるようであれば注意が必要です。 ヘッドフォンにありがちな頭頂部の痛みなどはほぼありません。

カッコ良く装着でき防音性もバッチリ👍
