3M PELTOR Ear Muffs, X1, Hearing Protection, Construction, Manufacturing, Maintenance

Comfortable, Fantastic Seal, Unbeatable Price
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!

Great for noisy construction areas
I mainly purchased it for when I am working with a loud tool, like a grinder or a table saw. Really love how my hearing is protected! I work a lot more comfortable wearing these!

Great for drum practice
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.

They are comfy, noise reduction is good to the point where I can hear people call my name but when I bring out the air tools my ears don’t want to cry afterwards. I would buy again

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。
