Not Impressed

I bought your head set last fall and I am not impressed. The radio reception is terrible as is the battery life. Worse, the clip holding one of the earpieces broke (see screenshot) after a fall of about 2' onto a wooden bench and now it is essentially useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

AM reception very weak

I had a previous version of this equipment that stopped working. I was excited to find this set, especially with the digital tuner and MP3/iPOD. port. The AM reception is so poor that I took the first set back, thinking there must be something wrong with it. The second set is just as poor as the first. My excitement turned to disappointment. 3M Tekk needs to improve the AM reception. Not all of us like to listen to FM or iPODs. The old product had better (not great) AM reception. The battery access door also broke on my previous unit and was being held in place by duct tape.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like this product a lot, defiantly makes the day shorter using them. I have 3 pairs, one for me the others for my workers (sons). I do hate listing to top 40 all day though, the port for the i-pod is a must on these. My only complaint is that the battery cover is not a sturdy cover and should be redesigned to be more rugged. Two of the 3, have lost or broke off their battery covers, and now we have a peace of duct tape holding the batteries in. Though they are reasonably priced, some more thought ought to go into a battery cover. This is the only negative thing I can say about the quality of this peace of safety equipment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

non existent reception
on May 24, 2013

The product looks great and sound reduction is fine but that's where it ends. I was fully expecting to get a radio just a little better than this. So far I got only one station on am and nothing on fm. The one station I do get has lots of static. We have stations close to us but don't get any of them. The problem is with the design. If I could rate it less than poor, I would. It becomes a very expensive hearing protector. A really bad product !!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is very versatile

The Digital WorkTunes Hearing Protector and AM/FM stereo radio offers a unique and entertaining experience by allowing one to do various types of yardwork while listening to music and simultaneously protecting one's ears. The music can be heard clearly and audibly, and virtually no noise from any yard equipment (blowers, lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc.) infiltrates the barrier these headphones provide. These headphones make yardwork so enjoyable it no longer feels like drudgery, but rather even feels enjoyable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some good most important one bad

These fit very good and perform very good at outside noise reduction. I also find them proficient with my cellphone as radio or player. That being said the reception is without a doubt lack luster at best. I scoured the internet assuming i was not setting them correctly, even going to so far with a number of different sets of batteries, resetting stations a number of times and even trying different combinations of voice actuation and European vs NA attenuation setting all to no avail. It seems though a number of these are hit or miss with quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
