good sound and protection

My third pair and they are used for yard work or for radio when movement around the property is required. They all have the same issue. After a few months the stereo part no longer works. Sound only comes out of one speaker/muff.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice features, looses reception when moving and button fell off

I really like the features, but mine may be defective. A station may be tuned perfectly at one moment, but no signal the next. Also, the volume button kept falling off, and finally it dropped into the wood chipper.
I would recommend this to a friend!

second pair of ear muffs. first pair was poor so foolishly I bought a new pair. Can't get but 3 local stations and I am in a metropolition area. When I do get a station, for some reason the other memory saved stations all bleed together so I can't hear anything. Poor quality, not what one expects from such a company.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product just stopped working for no apparent reason

I have had these ear phones for about 3 years and used them only in the summer months for ear protection while mowing my lawn on my lawn tractor. One day they just stopped working. They had not been physically damaged or abused and the batteries were fresh and fully charged. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product.

Did the Trick
on September 27, 2015

I received this product free from 3M and wanted to try it as I work from home and transcribe all day. I was interested to know if they would reduce city noise along with my music while I transcribed. Sure enough I didn't notice trucks and buses driving by as much as I usually do and even missed hearing the phone ring. I mainly used the MP3 option, but did find the AM/FM radio programming easy. I had hoped I could wear the hearing protection for my whole shift, but after 4 hours they had become too tight. I noticed that the easy to follow printed instructions were in English and Spanish, but did not notice a Spanish option while using the voice assist when programming the head set.

AM tunning trouble
on March 11, 2014
Posted by: Izosmo

I just bought this product to listen to the radio while I mow my lawn. It does a great job of reducing the noise from the lawn mower, but I haven't been able to tune into many AM radio stations. It keeps jumping over stations. I need to program it to 840, but it jumps from 837 to 846. The FM tuner and clarity was great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy with the performance of this product.

I work in lawn maintenance and am using loud machines all day every day. I love to listen to music (even better, sports radio!) while I work, but the volume has to be so loud that I was worried about damaging my hearing... Until now! What a great product!! Hearing is protected from the sounds of my machines allowing me to keep the volume of the music down and I can even listen to sports radio! If I get tired of the talk radio, I switch over to my iPod. Makes the day fly by!
