Disappointing performance
on July 18, 2013
Posted by: DaveP
from Ohio
Gender:Male
This was my second pair of 3M radio earmuffs. The first was an older analog tuning pair that stopped working. I was excited with the improvements of digital tuning. I was quickly disappointed in the AM/FM tuning. Turn you head, move and the reception drifts in and out on ANY station. 2 months old and at this price. I will NOT recommend this product to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very poor FM reception
on August 9, 2013
Posted by: PBworktunes

I have used the older analog version for several years. Great reception, good audio, rugged, easy to use, good battery life. Recently purchase the "improved" model with digital tuning. Reception is lousy. Will not pick up 25% of the stations that the old set gets. My favorite station drops out every minute or so, and then it sometimes re-tunes itself to the strongest station in the area, one that I really do not want to hear. Is there any way I can exchange this set for the older model? Unless you live very near a strong station that you like, I would not recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No Power

Bought these about two - three months ago, worked great but now even after putting several new batteries in no power. Bummed that for the cost they only lasted a few months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received this product for free from 3M and I love them! These hearing protectors are comfy on my head, easy to use, have clear sound and should be in everyone's tool box!
I would recommend this to a friend!

horrible reception quality
on November 15, 2013
Posted by: lrow32
Gender:Male
I recently purchased the newer improved version and I am extremely disappointed in the reception.I had an older pair that had the digital screen and they worked perfect but they eventually broke after two years of good service. The newer ones can only pick up one fm station clearly. The only good improvement is the battery cover.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my third and most difficult tuning / reception pair
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: Madcity
from Wisconsin
Gender:Male
I primarily use these on AM. This is my 3rd pair of work tunes the first analog pair was easily tuned and had pretty good reception, at least I could fine tune them. The second pair was the ones with the digital tuning screen and worked ok but removed my ability to fine tune within .5 of a station. This third pair only allows me to set within 1.0 of each station readings. So now while trying to listen to my local AM news station (which is not at all out of range) while mowing or blowing snow I get a constant high pitched ringing or tone with the actual radio in the background. This cannot be good for my hearing. I wish I could tune these with more control, and this is NOT a battery issue. Don't know what to do with them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked OK for a short time and then would not turn on
on April 28, 2014
Posted by: ohmslaw
Gender:Male
My pair of 3M tekk Protection WORKTUNES worked OK for a short while and then, suddenly, would only turn on without a display and no channels could be tuned (just a rushing noise). The price was rather high but I trusted the 3M name and expected them to be worth the investment. The concept is great but the quality and reliability is less than expected from a 3M product. I tried new batteries but still have the same problem. Please contact me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
