Pretty Impressed, but not completely awestruck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item free from 3M to evaluate. Initially I was a little skeptical about how well these would actually be as hearing protection, but was very impressed at how well they reduce outside noise levels.
That being said, there is an issue I have when they're connected to an audio source. The issue is that these don't employ volume limiting in any way, and I was able to play music from my cellphone at levels well beyond what is considered safe levels to protect hearing; as well as making it almost impossible to hear anyone that tried to talk to me. Plus lacking any type of volume control, and relying on the connected device to control the volume, doesn't seem to practical.
Battery life is excellent, as I got them to work continuously for an entire 8 hour shift on a single charge.
Due to the lack of volume control, or limiting capabilities, as hearing protection I'd have to grade these around a C- when audio is played through them. Without audio, easily an A.

So far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only have used them once so far and they worked very well. I used them while mowing my lawn and streaming music from the Internet via my cell phone. I have a half acre and I never lost connection as I was mostly connected to my phone was connected to my wireless router a majority of the time. The only time I heard a "click" was when it switched from my router to the cellular network. The Bluetooth never lost connection with my phone. The outside noise from my tractor and mower was suppressed sufficiently and I had no trouble hearing the music.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate the feedback. This product is first and foremost designed for hearing protection. The audio volume will only increase to safe levels. The volume should be able to be controlled through your connected device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When 3M sent me these to test I knew that was just what I needed at work. Sometimes job sites can be to noisey to field a call. Theses headphones block out the background noise and with the bluetooth link I can hear when a call comes in.
