3M Pro-Protect + Gel Cushions Electronic Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, NRR 26 dB

Wanted to wait a while before writing a review and i have now owned these for close to 2 years. I like the double aa batteries because if I’m working and they get low i can just put new ones in instead of charging the headphones. Highly recommend rechargeable double a’s if it makes sense for your use case. They still work great. I get many hours on the double a batteries. Never had a problem with bluetooth and I listen to music probably every other time i wear them. I probably use them 4 days a week for reference on how much abuse they get. They've survived several falls at around 6 feet over the last year and a half. The head strap has nicely sized cutouts if you wear a ballcap while you work and i find the ear muffs comfy. The noise amplification is nice, i can hear what sounds my tools are making or people talking to me when i need to and then switch the setting to make everything go away when i don’t need it. I live and work in a warm climate- they get pretty sweaty but the ear pads havent gotten gross yet. It is not an excessive amount of heat compared to other over ear headphones, but i feel that the cooling pads don’t really make a difference unless the air temperature is pretty cool (~60f or lower). Sound quality is super good enough and, honestly, I wouldnt change much. It’d be cool if they were a little lighter and folded for storage but otherwise they are great. Just remember to turn them off so you don’t waste your batteries.

Great product, after its broken in they get more comfortable. With the glasses I have they can push a little to hard and leave a sore behind my ear but after some adjustment it gets better. I paired these with enloop Panasonic rechargeable batteries and I dont know what kind of magic this headset and battery combo do but I have gone 7 days 8 hrs of connection to my phone with not constant noise but frequent sound either listening to music or watching videos but I have yet to charge the batteries I also dont run the mic since its so loud at my job I really dont need them on. Anyways great product hopefully they last a long time

I've had these headphones for almost a year and I love them. I highly recommend this product, though it does have a few warts that prevent it from getting a 5-star review.Pros:* extremely long battery life (most of a year for my hobby weekend usage)* comfortable to wear for extended periods of time* decent audio quality (I mostly listen to podcasts)* reliable connectivity* the external sound amplification works well. when it's quiet in the shop, it's totally possible to have a conversation as if you're not wearing hearing protection at all. when it's loud, well, nothing can help that.Cons:* the threshold at which the headphones consider outside noise to be "too loud" and cut out the amplification is a bit higher than my preference, i.e. it allows the noise to be louder than I'd like it to be. Sometimes, if I'm running my shop vac, that isn't loud enough to cut off the mic and so I'm getting blasted by the sound. For most of my other tools, it works as expected.* sometimes when first powered on, it will set the phone's volume control to maximum without warning. this is _way too loud_ and very startling, since it happens 5-10 seconds after the audio starts playing! I think it happens only when there's already something playing on the phone when it connects. This is a silly little firmware bug that 3M really should fix.* the external sound amplification setting defaults to the highest level when you power the device on. I wish it would remember the previous setting. I like to keep it on 1 or 2 (of 4). Anything over 2 feels louder than not wearing the headphones at all.* the mic isn't good. people on the other end of phone calls report they can't hear me well, even when there isn't background noise. this is weird, since presumably it's the same mic that is used to amplify external sounds, which sound fine.That might seem like a lot of cons, but really they're all nits. The core functionality of the product -- hearing protection, bluetooth audio, and being able to hear when there isn't background noise (so you don't have to take it on and off) all work very well. I'm happy with the product and would purchase it again. I think, at least at the time I bought this, it's the best BT hearing protection on the market.

These things are awesome I love them so long as you don’t care how u look wearing them. They are by far the best protection for your hearing. They allow sound through so you can hear coworkers or briefs and you get to pick from 4 levels. The music won’t be super loud or super clear but lets face it that’s not what they are for music is just a bonus and it’s enough to make your day a little better and go by faster. Now be aware this is super important if you are REQUIRED to wear eye pro then these will clamp down on your glasses and eventually at the end of the day or even day two you will be hurting from the glasses pressing down on your hear. By the second part of the day I find my self laying the glasses on top of the gel pads rather than having them in it’s not ideal for viewing but it helps with the pain. Also if u work looking down you will be feeling the weight of there’s and will find your self stretching your neck in some discomfort. All this said they are the best at protecting your hearing hands down and the gel pads are super comfy like the ones we use in the military I recommend them just be aware they are bulky and heavy ish.

I was skeptical about this item when I saw that I had frequent returns and some really bad reviews. I was hoping that the bad reviews were just lemons. Perhaps mine is a lemon.Pros:-comfortable on the ears and head even with a hat and eye protection.(my head is probably about average sized or maybe a little small smaller)Cons:-the biggest issue I had is that the Bluetooth would randomly disconnect and then reconnect. I had other issues that I was willing to look past if this thing could at least serve. It’s primary function of playing Bluetooth audio uninterrupted. Unfortunately, that is not the case.-forget about wearing eye protection or a hat with these headphones because if there’s not a perfect seal, it won’t even come close to blocking out a sufficient amount of sound to be able to hear what is being played over Bluetooth.-volume output is incredibly low with my AirPods I have the volume one notch over half nowhere near maximum volume. These headphones on the other hand, I had to turn the volume to max and still could only just barely hear what was being played whilst mowing lawns with my zero turn mower.-the transparency mode, although technically useful isn’t very good, it’s very jarring, even on the different modes when the audio of the environment goes up and down. Fortunately, you can just turn off transparency mode by holding the modes button.I was willing to look past most of these cons because I figured being able to hear a little bit of the music that I’m listening to is at least something and I wanted to protect my hearing which something like the noise canceling AirPods don’t necessarily do to the same extent. I have had these two days day one I didn’t run into any issues with Bluetooth connectivity. On day two just within two hours of working the Bluetooth would disconnect randomly and sometimes reconnect. This is very annoying when you’re trying to listen to a podcast or song because it’s being interrupted randomly.I’m very disappointed that after paying $75 after shipping that this product is unable to achieve its basic function.I’m not sure if there’s a better alternative, but I figured going with a no manufacturer like 3M would be a no-brainer.Unfortunately, I think I’m just going to save my money and go back to using my AirPods with regular earmuffs over them.If you do decide to give this product a try, I hope your experience is better than mine, but if I could say anything to anybody who was in my position before buying this product, I would say go with something else.

I'm not sure about durability, I haven't had them for that long. These ears are super comfortable. I love the replaceable batteries, I don't have to worry about it losing its ability to charge over time, that has happened to others. I keep my phone mostly in my pocket so bluetooth distance isn't an issue, the few times it hasn't been in my pocket it never lost its signal. The mute feature is great, I am often in areas where its loud but not loud enough to trigger the mic to cut out, think wood shop or lawn mower rather than gun fire, but the mic does cut out with loud sharp noises.Did I mention that they are comfortable, the gel cushion is so soft I can easily wear them for hours.

Pretty good set of cans. They make it pretty easy to listen to music and podcasts while running noisy equipment. Audio quality is only okay, really flat without any real punch, and muddy highs. It's not anywhere close to good, but it is at least not too bad either.The Bluetooth range is fantastic, easily works over 100' which is nice.I had high hopes for the transparency feature, but it's really not that good. It picks up a ton of wind noise, and doesn't really pick up voices unless the person is really close or they are yelling pretty loud.I'd say they are pretty comfortable, no complaints wearing them all day.All said they are pretty good, comfortable and they get the job done, but I would really like to see an updated version with much better audio for both listening, and for the transparency feature.

I am a professional landscaper and figured I should try these out. So far, I am glad bought them. They do an excellent job at keeping out noise, but the thing I love is you can hear what is going on around you like they aren't even on. I never realized how much I cannot hear with the regular earmuffs. With these, I can hear everything going on around me, but nothing is overpowering. So yes, you can hear all the equipment, but you can also hear someone walking towards you while you are on a blower, and stop before you see them. Or before you blow clippings on them because you were not aware of them. I can even have conversations.The phone feature works for me. Just a simple push of a button and I can talk to my boss while operating a 60"mower. Sometimes it gets a little splotchy as if the software is figuring out what sounds to block, but it still works far better than trying to even hear a phone ringing on a mower. I mean, really, it's not a big deal shutting down the mower to take a call from the boss. At least now I answer the call and don't come back to the truck with 5 missed calls and a mad boss.As for music, I do not have a clue. As a foreman, I am the only one on my crew that carries a company phone. All personal phones live in the glove box while onsite, and I do not take my ear protection home. It stays in the work truck.The Bluetooth seems to be pretty good. I never had an issue connecting, and I have even forgotten my phone (in the cupholder of my bigger mower parked by the street) and still had connection in the backyard on my 32". So it seems good to me.Over all I like them.

La he utilizado durante todo un año y no se ha averiado. Alguna vez, suena muy alto ( supongo que es un error de software ) que se se soluciona regulando el volumen del sonido otra vez. Por lo demás, me ha ayudado a soportar los ruidos y las conversaciones del trabajo mientras escuchaba algún podcast.

المنتج مريح على الأذن وكذلك يحجب الازعاج بشكل ممتاز

My husband needed some noise canceling headphones for work in a loud environment and he said these are great! He can listen to his music and here any messages or calls from his phone.

They were very comfortable and could be worn all day.I liked the fact that the two AA batteries could be swapped out when they died and didn’t need to be removed or charging. (I had four rechargeable batteries.)They could be worn as normal earmuffs when off. The noice cancelation did work when turned on. I could hear conversation but when loud machinery was in operation the loud noise was lessened significantly.They connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth easily and I used Spotify to listen to music.I was able to take calls on them but the noisy environment that I was in made this difficult. However, i was aware a call was incoming so I could go and take the call instead of missing the call.There are well documented issues with white noise when they are on. Not noticeable when music is playing unless soft or quiet music is playing.Again, very well documented on the net, the triple volume mode does not work at all and did not from new. You had to adjust the volume via the phone. I was willing to put up with these two flaws but…Latterly a very loud electronic screech when turned on made them completely unusable. They were just very expensive earmuffs.I purchased these from a UK seller on Amazon.co.uk who unbeknown to me purchased them in the USA and shipped them to me. I contacted 3M about my issues but they would not help because they were an American import.These are no longer being made, I suspect due to the well documented issues which I only found out after the faults became identified.You have been warned, DO NOT BUY!

Got 3 pairs for the guys in the warehouse. Super comfortable. The only downside is they can make your ears a bit sweaty. I’m quite amazed how different the warehouse sounds in these when machines are running. Hands down a hell of a lot better than all the other ones we have tried and as a bonus they are Bluetooth so the guys can listen to podcasts or music as they work.
