they reduce noise well enough but the volume is far too low. I tried using these at work and found the music and call audio too low to be useful. the biggest hit against them however is the lack of cap mount. there is almost no place on a jobsite these can be worn as they will not mount to a standard hard hat.
Increase the speaker volume and give us a cap mount variant and I will buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Major flaw when working.
on February 11, 2018
Posted by: Droel
from Buffalo, ny
I received these for Christmas and they work pretty well except one major flaw. The knob on the bottom is a push button for power and twist for volume and they make it big enough to use with gloves. The problem is it is very large and in a bad location as it gets hit by my shoulder whenever I raise arms or bend over and reach, turning it off or changing the volume. It's hard trying not to work with the worktunes. Also, I too was wondering where the recharegeable battery was. It really should be included.

I have had this product for years now and use them all thru out the day in the house and out doing all kinds of yard work. At night,due to my husbands PAP machine noise,I put these on and go right to sleep ! With this much use, my ear protectors REALLY needed to be replaced. Called 3M to purchase some and was pleasantly surprised with their offer to send a free pair. I greatly appreciate your customer service 3M!!!

No PC Drivers, No Compatibility.

Spent about a week attempting to pair these headphones with a Windows 7 laptop without any success, unable to find the appropriate drivers and your site lists none so these are absolutely useless.

It works with my Samsung S8 But, so far hasnt been able to find a driver to work with Windows 7 I play Drums, and is essential to protect my hearing and that I can play music from my phone while I play.

Works great

I got a pair of these last summer and they really help with mowing the grass, a multi hour task. Only downside is the knobs tend to fall off and get lost. Wish there was an easy way to find replacement knobs or even better that they were attached much better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WorkTunes worked for 1 year, now audio issues
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: bbarry42
from Pleasant Valley, NY
Work well for 1 year, although wished the volume would go higher during bluetooth operations (source volume not the issue). The audio is now at a whisper quiet on all sources. This is homeowner use, not commercial use. This turned me off to 3M as a brand if its indicative of the current quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
