Very poor radio reception.
on April 14, 2015

I bought this for my wife to wear while mowing the yard. I tried it out and was extremely disappointed in the radio reception. In this day and age when you can buy a pretty cheap radio and get decent reception, I was shocked how poorly this radio received stations, especially AM. Where we live I didn't expect it to pick up many FM stations but it doesn't even pick up the local AM station very well and it's a very powerful AM station with coverage over a 5 state area ie:SD, WY, MT, NE & ND.. I strongly recommend people not buy these headphones if they like the idea of having a radio too. Very expensive hearing protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Insufficient volume ! I can BARELY hear the radio. I don't expect it to blast like you're in a bar, but it should put out at least twice as loud as it does. A big waste of my hard earned money. I am very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Work great but battery life can be a problem

I have had these for a little while. They work great except I have to take the batteries out every time I use them. Even turned off the batteries are dead the next time I pick up the headphones to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great ear muffs, bad battery draw

I bought these a little over a year ago to use when on my tractor or sawmill. They will NOT cover up the sound of your equiptment. I consider that a good thing. You need to be able to listen to your equipment. They worked great until a few months ago when they seemed to develop an electrical draw even when off. If i don't remove the batteries, they are dead after 2 days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Do what they are made for.

I bought these to replace my old walkman since its volume was getting finiky and would either go full volume or nothing. I need something thats not going to blast my ears I already have hearing loss from being younger and stupid listing to radio turned full tilt. These so far have worked great, block loud noise like mowers, weedeaters, blowers and still hear the music but don't have to be loud and cause more damage to my hearing. Easy to program stations, or change stations without taking them off. Voice assist is a very nice feature.
Two drawbacks one if wearing safety glasses or sunglass the padding pushes on the glasses and starts to hurt the side of my head right above my ears, another drawback and could be me being picky when setting your own stations, they will not preset in the order I set them after a certion number of stations are stored. I like setting my stations in a order I know and in groups like country in a group, rap in a group so I know where the stations are without scrolling through every station. So I will have to delete some stations to get a order list stored.
Overall so far I like this unit, works like it suppose to, hear music over loud noises, just want to be able to store station in the order I save them in.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far so good

My Husband and I both have one each, had them for a while..... I think ours aren't Bluetooth though or voice control. But we love ours.
I do however need a part....my station control knob fell off somewhere in our 5 acres yard while I was mowing....not to be seen again since. I just want a new knob for it.
These two have been a Blessing for us while we mow and for the weed eating too
Please let me know where to acquire a new knob !
