Terrible Audio Compatability with Windows 11
on June 9, 2025
Posted by: dude2111
Not very happy with theses headphones right now.......The audio does not work at all with a Windows 11 computer, and it's really frustrating. I am not going to consider buying any other bluetooth headphone related product from you as I have lost faith that the money spent was a good investment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great hearing protection
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: KeithArgh
from Texas
These are fantastic for music in loud spaces. And while I enjoy them and have a pair for work, and a second pair for yard work (Mowing and weed-eating), man... they are HOT. Wearing them for any leanghth of time is a chore. I feel as though I could dmp sweat out of them after any significant period of use. Maybe a non-plastic ear pad would help?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost Great
on May 4, 2018

I operate two punch presses that create a lot of noise. These hearing protectors work well at reducing the noise to a bearable level - and I can play Pandora for two 10-hour shifts without recharging! Unfortunately, the bluetooth wont connect to my laptop, but this is a limitation of the particular bluetooth chipset my laptop employs.
Also, Its hot at work, so it would be nice if the padding and headband were made of a more breathable material.
Overall, this is still a great product and I would recommend it to friends and coworkers.

Bluetooth is very subpar
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: Tim2020
from Charleston, SC
Like other reviewers, the comfort is great, volume is good as well. The Bluetooth technology is severely lacking, especially for such a large company like 3M. The Bluetooth stutters constantly, and that is with phone right next to it. I have a pair of 20.00 Bluetooth headphones that have never skipped.
It seems 3M should get this figured out as it such a large company with the resources to do it, Bluetooth is not a new technology, so it seems as this is being packaged and sent out knowing it’s limitations.

Fits Well, Very low volume.
on November 8, 2017
Posted by: Hellfish
from Durham, NC, United States
I like how these fit and they are comfortable, but the volume level is horrible. When riding my mover I can hardly hear my music. There is a limiter that won't let the volume go to loud and it is way to low. Hopefully the store will take them back.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will be sure to forward your comments. The unit is first and foremost a hearing protector and will only get to a certain level of dB. However, with the Safe Volume Control feature on this design, it actually has a higher dB limit on it than our previous model. To change these modes, please use the following steps:
• Unit needs to be off
• Press and hold Power Button and Center of Tuning Dial together
• Voice Assist will say, “Settings Menu”
• Press Center Dial to toggle between menu items.
• Stop when you hear either, “Dosimeter” or “Limiter” (not “Dosimeter Default Setting”)
• Turn Scroll Wheel to toggle between “Dosimeter” and “Limiter”
• “Dosimeter” is the “Safe Volume Control” technology
• “Limiter” is to be used if the user wants to keep the max limit set at 82 decibels
• Press “Function” key to exit once the desired setting is chosen
If you have any questions or concerns please contact our support team at 1-800-494-3552 M-F 8am-5pm CT.

Not Loud Enough!
on November 15, 2017
Posted by: x77x
from Escanaba, MI, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i work in a ship's engine room, and with my mp3 player all the way up, i can barely hear it... probably good enough for around the house, but these are not for noisy industrial situations. even in a quiet room they really arent that loud, makes you wonder if they would stand up to lawnmower or snowblower noise. otherwise... the product is a tad heavy, and really not much bass, so if you like rap and hip-hop music these arent for you. also, the wires a kind of annoying, what they should do is put them inside the adjustment band. 3m should let me design a functional industrial pair =)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

worked well until they stay on for 6 seconds
on February 4, 2022
Posted by: TinkerJackie
from Columbus OH
I was happy with them for a year even though the battery had problems. Got replacement battery--it was defective on arrival.
Now they stay on for 6 seconds and then go silent, not off, the blue power light is still on. There is no sound-zero! When I turn them off, I do hear 'power off.' The blue stays on till I power down.
