Built well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set of headphones is well built to last in a unforgiving environment. I have used them while working on a sawmill and they have held up well to being dropped and covered with sawdust. They are comfortable to wear and with the built in radio, they are a much better option than a cheaper set without the radio. The noise reduction feature works great and is a must for anyone that works in a noisy occupation.

Wonderful item

I have been using the older model for years now and absolutely love them.. the only problem I am now having is finding the earpad replacements as mine have worn out and the black coating has all flaked away. Without this coating the sponge pieces keep falling out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Great

I bought the Worktunes last year and they are my favorite hearing protectors. The voice that tells me the station is awesome and saves a lot of time finding new stations. Have had good battery life and I run them hours at a time. I should have bought these years ago.

Comfort and tunes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I selected these headphones for use when I do yard work and cutting the grass or using the weedeater. While it doesn't seem like it at the time, both of these machines can cause hearing loss over time or at least cause an unnecessary annoyance. Upon receiving this item, I was actually surprised at how comfortable they were and how much they muted the outside noise. They really feel like a quality item and produce some pretty good sound from the AM / FM radio. When I am doing the yard work now, I can almost get lost listening to the radio and forget that I am using these power tools. I haven't yet used the MP3 function via external device, so I can't comment on that part. I use rechargeable batteries and the device also has an auto-shut off feature if you forget to turn it off. I did remove a star, as I wish that switching between the channels / modes / presets was more immediate, instead of waiting for the "voice" to tell you what channel / mode you are on. There are times that I switch to something I didn't want because I forgot I had to wait for the voice to finish first. Not really an issue if you use it often, but during the winter I've only had to use it every few weeks or so. Perhaps in the summer, I will get the hang of it. I received this product for free in order to test / use it under the condition of writing an unbiased review afterwards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound was good and reception! Even in places I normally don't get reception! They were comfortable! They only reason I gave it 4 stars is it was a little heavy but I wore them for a few hours..

A good upgrade to a basic piece of safety gear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received a pair of these from 3M in exchange for a honest review which follows. Lets start with the good, the fit was quite nice even while wearing glasses, the volume levels were also with in a tolerable range while operating equipment. What will take getting used to is the controls. I kept reaching up and missing the knobs only to end up bumping the wrong one and changing stations or the volume by mistake. Now that was when wearing gloves and I'm sure as time goes on you get familiar with the locations and can make adjustments without thinking about it.
Reception was fair, not great but not terrible. While the addition of the line in jack has served well for years I do believe that within a couple years from now it will be obsolete as more and more cellphones drop the jack in favor of a USB-C style of connector.
Overall the head set works well for a basic upgrade to just plain hearing protection.
Pack your ipod and cable and get to work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved these headphones to try, and I love them. They have am/fm, which comes in clearly, plus you can hook you phone to it. They are also really comfortable.
