Not sure if it’s really worth its price point

I’ve owned these for well over a year. I use them anytime I’m shooting and doing lawn work (weedeating, leaf blower, etc.).
Pros:
- Excellent dynamic noise suppression
- Comfortable (after you put the gel cups on)
- Great quality
- Bluetooth

I just recieved these and man are they good! Love the talking feature where you can hear when people are talking to you at the range then blocks out all of the loud sounds.

So far, so good

I love the fit and the quality..so far. BUT>>> This is an expensive piece of equipment. You would think that Peltor would market a decent hard case to carry and protect them, rather than a simple cloth bag. Yes, there are several after market hard cases, all with little bitty straps. Come on, these are shooting earmuffs. Something with a real hand strap and/or maybe some molle webbing to attach it to range bag. I know that sporting muffs are not 3M's primary focus but a real case for all their earmuff would be nice

Excellent ear pro, worth the price

I shoot firearms frequently and have ear pro on for a long duration when I shoot. I've gone through at least 8 different sets of electronic ears and this is by far the best.
Pros: very comfortable, excellent noise reduction, great clarity of non-muted sounds, rechargeable battery holds charge for long periods and operates for long periods while in use. Simple, easy to use controls. The bluetooth feature is just gravy.
Cons: on the bulky side. If you have problems shooting rifles with large ear pro this wont be for you. If you are using ear pro for tactical shooting/ops this is probably too bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent for shooting indoors or out

My GF gave me these for Christmas. have been using now for about 5 months, and really like how the headphones suppress gunshots while allowing a conversation to happen when not shooting without removing the headset. Excellent quality product.

Fell apart in 3 months
on May 3, 2020

from DFW Tx
These worked great for 3 months and then they fell apart. I'm a USAF retired veteran (AFSC 2A617A "Jet Engine Specialist") who has used aIl kinds of hearing protection throughout my career. I bought these for my current job testing Jet Engines at a test facility that requires hearing protection. I thought these were a major upgrade with the new technology that we currently have but I was wrong. I have the same issue that everyone else is having. Mine broke around the earpiece on both side These things break way too easy for a 3M product. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Power button failure
on May 2, 2020
Posted by: PaulD
from Laurel, MD
I wouldn't have expected this one. They work fine, when they can be turned on. They've decided to now turn on intermittently.. Not really acceptable at the range. I've been using these with my MantisX with great success at the range, then.. the headphones have decided that they only want to turn on some of the time. Not good..

Awesome product that does what it needs to do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These hearing protectors do exactly what they need to do by protecting my hearing at the gun range. They are comfortable to wear for the short term (I have not worn them longer than an hour or so) and effective. I did not use the bluetooth to stream music or make calls at the range, because frankly, I don't want to be distracted, but it is a cool feature to have on these hearing protectors.
I would recommend this to a friend!
