Older ones work better

I've had older pair for years that work better than the newer model. I bought my wife new model and they never stay clear on radio station the older style do. I tried frequency mode to get tuned in still a lot of static.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Need better reception

I work in landscaping and Cleaning businesses so tried during operations. The product worked great and was easy to set up. Like how the voice tells you what station you are on; and the AM to FM feature. The cushion pads feels great even wearing glasses and safety glasses at the same time. Reception is good but I added aluminum foil to the tip to get better reception when out in the country. There are only 2 things that I would tweak. when there are engines running in the surroundings the VOLUME need to be louder than the current settings and sometimes the antenna get in the way of branches or machinery while working so i have to tied down.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Reception

Your not gonna get reception across the world with these obviously, but they work great for local listening, especially for sports games. Wish it had a digital dialer but it does tell you the channel you are on using voice. The noise cancellation is really good, and are very comfortable.

Worked Good When New, Now Won't Turn On

Happy when I first bought these - good reception and outside noise reduction. Started having trouble turning on everytime I used last fall. Now I can't get them to turn on at all. Disappointing considering the price I paid. Hopefully I can receive a warranty replacement/repair.

They Work For Me
on June 8, 2015

I like the functionality and the hearing protection is sufficient for my yard work and woodworking. The interface took a little getting used to, but it does make sense once you get the hang of it and it is easy to make changes without taking the headphones off. My only compliant is that I don't think I could wear them all day, a little too uncomfortable for that. However, 2 or 3 hours at a stretch is fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Noise cancelling, Easy to use

The 3M Digital Worktunes Hearing Protector was sent to me for free to evaluate and this is my review. I have used the Hearing protector for a season of lawn care and other outdoor chores and have found the reduction of mower and blower noise. The pads fit comfortably over both smaller and larger ears, and I have not had issue with the adjustable head band. The FM/AM radio works as expected however the seek and scan for stations is tedious as you have to press the button and let it search. I usually connect to a device, it is much easier to manage the music selection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Guidance System speaks in Spanish

I recently bought this item, and seems to work fine, but would be nice if the Guidance system spoke in English, wondering if there is a way to switch it? I don't speak Spanish.

Great at hearing protection and comfort but poor reception

My wife bought these for me as a gift to replace my analog ones. I get poor reception on stations that are strong on other portable radios I own. I rated this two stars as a great hearing protection device and for comfort. With an external antenna and the 3M name I was expecting better reception. I can't even cut the lawn without it cutting in and out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
