Too many weird bugs
on February 10, 2018
Posted by: baldynyc
from New York, NY
Pros:
- Good sound quality
- Decent sound isolation saves me from ear-bleeding pain of NYC subway brakes, bus air-release, old-siren ambulences
- Feature that repeats mic input automatically activates in phonecalls

Cons:
- Might have the weakest bluetooth antenna in universe. Walking around, music will stutter or even completely stop with a distance of literally 3-FEET, from the top of my thigh (cell phone sending bluetooth from my pocket) to the middle of my head (these headphones)

- Volume Limiter "Feature" CANNOT BE DISABLED. Especially annoying when listening to music with a high dynamic range - everything will artificially cut off above a certain volume, replacing loud segments of a classical symphony with a jumbled mess that sounds more like passing gas
- The amount of noise these headphones make while walking is staggering. Aside from simple and brushing of plastic on plastic, some internal *knock* can be heard inside when the headphones tilt back a certain way?? I thought it was part of a music track the first time it happened until i investigated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked maybe 6 times
on February 12, 2018
Posted by: NateG
from Western Mass
Thought they were great. Volume could've been louder but they were good. Keyword: WERE. After using them maybe 6-8 times, they no longer pair with anything. I've tried to pair them on 5 different devices. Will be returning. Which sucks because they were exactly what I wanted for working in the yard.

Good/Not Good
on May 15, 2018

from Hopkinsville, KY
Have owned these for close to two months. Loved them out of the box, but noticed that they kept dropping the Bluetooth connection. Now they won't even pair with any device I own. Great source for noise reduction, but pretty expensive just for earmuffs.

Frustrating
on May 31, 2018
Posted by: Snearl
from Blacksburg, VA
Bluetooth frequently skips on ipod and galaxy s7, audio quality is below expectations for "hi-fi" and the headset is quite tight, to the point of discomfort after about an hour. Good and reducing noise from saws and mowing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not working as described on the box
on June 2, 2018
Posted by: RSmith12573
from Homerville, OH
I bought these new about a week ago. I intended to use them while mowing , doing other chores around the house, and even to help block out noise while playing games, watching videos, or entertaining myself in other ways. They have a major problem with the audio not being in sync with the video and any audio skipping or cutting out constantly. This occured even while holding the desired device in my hand. The only time it would "stream audio seamlessly" as advertised and printed on the box was if I tucked my phone under the head band or held the phone next to my ear. This is not what I nor any consumer should expect to be the intended meaning of the words "stream audio seamlessly" and "HiFi quality." I read the reviews and saw that there were many of them complaining of this defect in the product. I simply did not expect to have the same experience as everyone else. I was hoping I would receive an updated version without the same issues. I was wrong, just as 3M might've been wrong to venture into the consumer electronics channel. Maybe they would do better to stick to adhesives and insulation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bluetooth skips
on June 25, 2018
Posted by: Dudds123
from Canada
Bluetooth drops in and out with phone in my pocket or anywhere more than 1 foot from the headphones with galaxy s5 and s7.
Not loud which I did expect but sound quality is very poor.
Very sturdy and not bad at blocking noise, otherwise useless
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Audio Quality is Abismal Static & LowLevel Cutout
on June 30, 2018
Posted by: Benjamin
from SW MO
Works as hearing protection without the bluetooth audio portion.
Cannot pair with phone that I use as an audiobook player LG VS425 (which uses bluetooth 4.1)
Pairs with a laptop; but the audio is filled with static inter spaced with silence between words (audio low level cutout) when playing audiobooks; painful. Whitenoise/static is continuous when playing video or cds.
Did not meet my expectations.
Haven't tried to use them to make a phone call but the thing is called work_Tunes_, it shouldn't be suitable for music?
