So good I bought a second pair
on July 2, 2018
Posted by: vthyng
from Des Moines, WA
I got a pair to try at work in our noisy computer lab, so I wasn't haven't to constantly reinsert foam ear plugs. It worked so well that I got a pair for my home garage. The only thing I would like to see improved is adding a non plastic padding option. I sweat while wearing these, which makes putting them back on momentarily uncomfortable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good tunes while you work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent a pair of these headphones to try out and they sound great. My only complaint is no radio in them. Some places I work I can not get a cell phone signal so the radio would be nice.

Happy so far.. but what is the voice saying?
on August 6, 2018

It reduces the riding mower noise sufficiently and BT works well. FM station I listen to has occasional static, which has no static at or near my home in my car. The station is clear on my car for another 15 or so miles away from here, so FM reception could be improved. I can't figure out what the voice is saying that sounds like "satellit low". The first word does not sound like battery, the second word is clearly low.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great except for...

These work great especially when listening to music. I use it primary in Bluetooth mode and I have one complaint about it. I like to listen to podcasts at times. When I do and I'm using one of my machines (landscaper), podcasts are really difficult to fully hear. The volume is very low and it make the audio barely understandable. I have to use earbuds under the work tunes if I want to listen to podcasts. I'm not sure if the fault of the phone or the headset.

Hello! 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. The only thing we can think of is that you may have it on the lower set dB (limiter), rather than the default Safe Volume Control (Dosimeter). To see if that is it, please use the following steps to set your unit in to the Safe Volume Control (Dosimeter) mode:
1 Unit needs to be off
2 Press and hold Power Button and Center of Tuning Dial together
3 Voice Assist will say, “Settings Menu”
4 Press Center Dial to toggle between menu items.
5 Stop when you hear either, “Dosimeter” or “Limiter” (not “Dosimeter Default Setting”)
6 Turn Scroll Wheel to toggle between “Dosimeter” and “Limiter”
7 “Dosimeter” is the “Safe Volume Control” technology
8 “Limiter” is to be used if the user wants to keep the max limit set at 82 decibels
9 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.

Awesome product
on August 8, 2018
Posted by: merlin27316
from Coleridge, NC
I've had this for about three weeks and have not had to recharge it. I use it mowing, trimming the lawn, using a chain saw, basically anything that makes noise. I can still hear the low roar of the mower, but it's a big mower. I'm able to keep the volume on my music at a lower volume and can still hear it clearly thus protecting my hearing from noisy power equipment and from turning up the music too loud. Purchased when on a "daily special" from our local hardware but wonder why I waited now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely poor bluetooth
on August 14, 2018
Posted by: Maxxxxx
I don't seem to have the same volume problems that a lot of other reviewers have, but the bluetooth is horrible. This product claims to have a range of approximately 25 feet, however with my iPod on my belt about 2 feet away from the headset there are constant issues with the headset cutting out for a second or two. I have other bluetooth speakers that I use with the same iPod with no issues whatsoever even on the other side of the house. I find this product to be very overpriced for the sub-par quality of the bluetooth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great but...

Run a variety of gear and these block the unwanted but the bluetooth drops as others have indicated. My iPhone sits in my back pocket definitely not out of range but the BT drops intermittently.
