Protects as promised

This product protects as promised. Battery cover breaks easily does not work well with safety glasses. Needs better sound protection when running a blower. Radio is easily broken and station memory is lost at times for no reason.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor Reception of AM and especially FM
on June 26, 2013

I bought 2 pair to replace Old standard AM/FM radio headphones by the same company. The old ones are 6 years old but finally stopped working but actually picked up stations better. The new ones sound good but the reception especially of FM is awful. Sounds great for 1 second then static then a loud beep like weather signal keeps going off. Very expensive for this type of quality headset. I like the ability to hook Ipod up to headset but I don't always want to use that function. I would not reccomend this product unless they can fix the reception. Hearing Protection is pretty good eventhough the radio is not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor quality and workmanship

I purchased this pair in October 2013 and have only used them about 4 times. The on/off switch does not work any more. In addition, like others, the radio reception is lousy. They are very expensive for the poor quality and reception.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

STILL NEEDS WORK
on January 10, 2016
Posted by: jdb1
from Columbus, OH
I've owned three models of this headset, and all three had multiple serious problems. Reception issues on AM have been consistent with all three as well. The AM antenna is extremely directional, so if you're mowing or doing anything that causes your body to change directions, most AM signals will fade out. The latest set I have also does that, but in addition it turned "sticky". All the black area (painted) became very sticky like wet paint, leaving your fingers sticky after handling the headset. Sometime soon I plan to replace them, but not with anything 3M.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointing performance
on July 18, 2013

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
from Lexington, KY, USA

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.

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.
