[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these to replace the ear buds and was not disappointed. The sound quality is outstanding. The tuning ability is much improved over previous models. So many options and possibilities.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Time To Get Some Help
on July 28, 2016
Posted by: SpringTime
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was received awhile ago to test and I needed time to figure a few things out. I did want something similar because of noise problems that needed to be silenced. When it is off and you have the TV on though –it is of course not drowned out. It seems fairly sturdy with my only issues being construction at the flap where the mp3 connection somewhat collected dust or lint and staying shut. The turn of the wheel for stations was easy, but to keep it selected has me suggest presetting what you can. I had Internet connection problems and it takes better to Bluetooth when of course you first have a strong signal to pick up. Depending on your location, the sound quality or clarity may vary as I was indoors in a normally problem area and the different days testing the radio indicated this. That is why I suggest being selective on how you decide to first use this and work with it. It has a snug fit and if you normally feel uncomfortable with things on your head, it might be good to view in person or ask someone about it. I would also consider it for construction noises, or sounds from the street to interfere, or other people noise.
The box states what it has and you need 2 AA batteries. The Bluetooth will be indicated and there is a shut off allowance time. My iPod is older so the Bluetooth had too much trouble with my weak WiFi signal, and smart phones and other mobiles probably can vary as well. It would be great to see more colors as I feel it is easier to spot both in use or storing. I feel that though it likely is more towards a five for those who need it and convenience of finding hands free use possibilities, it depends on the need. What adaptive connective mobile you want to work with it will make sense for a purchase. The wire parts are strong and I think many people who want something long term may consider this. I know that I normally break a lot of headphones from ages ago, so it depends what you consider a selling point. The sound is okay and not equal in radio quality inside a building to what one may want and the reason why I placed it at 4. I also felt my not having all the devices and means to test all the details should also be a factor. The exterior box has some details of the item and inside is a small booklet. Headband has removable padding as used for perhaps hats. The battery fit for mine was initially tight which sometimes is good so it does not move.

High Quality Noise Protection with Blue Tooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Dad is a construction worker and he wears an old set of noise protection headphones given to him by the city years ago. I was happy to receive this product to give to my dad as an early Father's Day present. He was more thrilled than I thought he would be. Now, he wears his new headphones to work every day. He can listen to music, receive phone calls and communicate with his co-workers while being completely protected from the sound of industrial machinery.

Impressive audio quality via different options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost the WorkTunes are a well constructed hearing protector. The unit has a comfortable head band and, despite their size, they aren't excessively heavy. In terms of the sound quality, the WorkTunes provide a great listening experience. Using just a few buttons, you have nice functionality. The digital radio worked great and the unit paired perfectly with my phone via Bluetooth. The controls are easy to use without looking, however, I would like to see the change in volume increments be a little smaller and several times I accidentally bumped the tuning knob. Perhaps it could be recessed slightly. I received my WorkTunes as part of 3M's customer review program.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These block out the noise and give you wire free music. Great on the noisy jobs at work and home. I have used them much more than I thought I would.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are excellent! They are a great quality, and provide great sound protection. They are also very comfortable. I was able to wear for long periods with no problem. Even in warm environments they were great. I love the radio feature and that it is built right in. It works well, seems to get good reception. The controls are easy to use. Great product to keep you safe and making working a little more entertaining and comfortable.

Nice Idea

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this product for a few months now, and I like it, but I don't. I like that it is wireless and operates on Bluetooth, but at the same time, it is a little on the bulky side and sometimes goes in and out of service. I think that may be an issue with Bluetooth, though, not necessarily the headphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones have some great features. However they don't block out a ton of noise and they are a bit bulky.
