3MPELTOR Ear Muff Hearing Protection, X5 Series, Noise Protection NRR 21 dB, Construction, Manufacturing, Automotive

These seem to be very well made and do attenuate noise very well. I only wish that since they are higher end hearing protection that they would come with the higher end gel pads. I had to buy and install those separately.

These will not work with a full brim hard hat, as in most MSA hardhats that you’ll get on wind or solar projects this will not work.LUCKILY for those of you who have a normal MSA hardhat, the swivel mounts on the side of the earmuffs will also fit the same behind the ear adapter as other models. As I had some older ones laying around, switching them out makes it work perfectly, however they will function a little different as they’re not attached to your hard hat as the product is sold.Keep in mind these are meant to be mounted, so if you’re using this method to make them work with a bigger hard hat, the weight from these and extra width and be a little awkward if you don’t have them SITUATED. Also given that they’re gonna have different amounts of pressure applied to your head, this could potentially change its effectiveness but I have not noticed. + I may already have hearing damage lol

I work in a mill. To put it simply, it's deafening 24/7, to the point where you're hoarse every day from trying to communicate with people. I bought these muffs because the foam plugs hurt my ears after a while. To be honest, I think these particular muffs reduced decibels more than the 3M plugs that the mill had available to use. I rated noise cancellation on these muffs 3 stars due to the fact that they greatly reduce noise, not cancel it. If noise was cancelled, this would be a safety risk. For a 12 hour shift, these muffs are super comfortable and actually aid with holding my hard hat on my head. With this being said, in warmer weather you will perspire more with these. I definitely never put these muffs up on my hardhat as it makes the hat too top heavy and unstable. When I don't need the muffs, I kick the springs out so they still hang down and away from my ears. All in all these are a great buy. I highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. This product is an affordable substitute for the Trend Airshield Pro earmuffs.Lightweight and very effective in continued use with durability and adjustment.

A little heavy to balance on helmet when folded up but work well.

New vacuum equipment installed at work directly across from work line. Was already using 24 dbm rated earmuffs and that was bad. Had to start using earplugs at same time. That got annoying, so I ordered this. They perform better than previous, but the nature of how the equipment was set up is still aggravating. So it does work, but it is not outstanding by any means.That been said, for price/performance point of view, I would had purchased this as my primary earmuffs 5 years ago instead of a 24 dbm rated one, something to consider, as most of them are priced about the same regardless of their protection rating.

Package looked open, outside looked dirty, but it looked new inside, I have been using for two weeks and they are very good. Comfortable, noise cancelation is very nice.

They attach easily to a hard hat and offer good hearing protection. They rotate out of the way on the helmet when not in use.
