I have had several pair of these and other Peltor Optime earmuffs. I love the headband style as I use it on other 3M and Peltor products. The comfort is top of the line.
These Earmuffs are what really got me hooked on 3M Peltor. I love the size and how they just totally encapsulate my ears. Gives that sense of security and protection. Plenty room for your ears and the headband fits many head sizes. I use it on other hearing protection as well
I've been using this hearing protection daily in my cabinet shop for probably five years. Not only do they reduce the noise levels of all the various machines I use during the day (some of them are very loud) but they've also held up to the rigor of being knocked around the shop much better than other sets I've used. Hearing damage is irreversible, folks: don't compromise on your hearing protection.
These 3M earmuffs definitely attenuates the noise level to a greater extent than did my Stihl ones. I have been using those with a wood splitter. They feel comfortable and do their job.
Most comfortable hearing protection I have found. Bought three, just so I can always find one when I want it. (I lay things down and forget where I put them. I'm sure no one else does this.)
