POOR RECEPTION
on September 12, 2012
Posted by: RADIOHEAD
from Boston, MA, USA
Gender:Male
Purchased set about 6 months ago. From the beginning they had poor AM reception and sound quality. What I found more troubling was they had poor FM reception as well. They have been used so little I have only used 2 sets of batteries and had just installed a third set. I now have no FM reception at all and AM reception that is so poor you can't listen to it. VERY DISAPOINTING !
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The reception was fair worked good for about 6 months shut them off after wok the next day turned on and wouldn't work Replaced batteries still would not work. For the cost of the product it was a lot of money to pay for the quality.

Good protection, bad FM reception
on November 11, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous

This is my second pair of work tunes. First pair is at work. Working great. My new pair has the digital screen (like my old ones) but the reception is poor with these. If I am listening to a station and move around the yard, it goes to static and then I am listening to another station or stations. Then it goes back to the preset. This happens constantly and makes this unit worthless except for hearing protection. But thats not why I bought them. I was going to buy another new pair but someone at work bought the "new" version and says that the tuner button changes the station if you are wearing a hoodie. Not not what I would want. I use 3M products all the time, but this one is a disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High quality, great features, works as intended

I bought this last year and I'm very happy with the performance. I like that there are no cords. Tuning and presets are easy to use. Noise attenuation is perfect for my uses: mowing the lawn, running the leaf blower, using the string trimmer, operating the snowplow. Presets are preserved when changing batteries. I have nothing bad to say about this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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
on October 19, 2015
Posted by: jessi24
from Gahanna, OH, United States
Gender:Female
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
