3M PELTOR Hearing Protection Optime 95 Earmuffs, Adjustable Earcups, E-A-Rfit Compatible, Stainless Steel

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Peltor delivers again with a quality product. I am a hobbyist woodworker and metalworker. I chose this style of hearing protection because I needed to wear a face shield and a traditional style ear protection would not work. These fit great and are comfortable. The sound reduction is terrific and makes using a saw or grinder much more enjoyable. I was skeptical about the design but they stay in place with no issues, no sliding off and are comfortable. I’m very pleased and will purchase these again if needed.

I love these for hearing protection. They are light, comfortable and easy to get on around my glasses. I use them in my wood shop and have actually ordered two so that I can keep them near my noisy equipment and not forget to protect my hearing.

Low profile and comfortable enough for all day use. Doesn’t block out too much sound but protects my ears from small engines and loud power tools with extended use.

I use these for drumming. They honestly work exceptionally well. They block out just enough to not give yourself hearing damage but still let enough pass through so that you can clearly hear what you're doing. They're not too tight, I do have a large head and even on me they don't feel uncomfortable for long sessions (30-40 minutes) super light weight. excuse the poor quality in the video. Would be better if the ear pads where replaceable

Despite the fact the guy that delivered the package just nonchalantly tossed it by my door and you could hear it hit the concrete which annoyed me a bit with how careless he seemed. The fact that my security camera is further away from the front door and you could still hear it hit the ground is kinda of ridiculous. Watching him just let it drop made me cringe, I got worried seeing how the box was damaged. Grateful nothing broke - Now, the product itself? - Definitely worth the money. These don't completely end surrounding noise which is great, it reduces everything to a highly manageable level allowing me to still be aware of my noisey surroundings, they fit comfortably which is a definite plus. Even my 2 year old likes them. It's easy to transition from a fitting comfortable to him and then switch back to where it's comfortable for me. Wondering how much I like these? I ordered the behind the neck and over the head ones. Same thing just a different wear and they're both great.

Trap shooter and lawn mowing... Both need hearing protection, and this is a fine product. I use ear plugs under them also.

I had no idea how much I would like the behind the head style earmuffs. My wife and I occasionally get our muffs mixed up, but because these don't need to be adjusted, we don't mess up each others' fit. They slip easily on and off even if I am wearing a hat and goggles. They reduce sound enough to use power tools safely, but they don't block out the whole environment like ones designed for shooting. These are also extremely lite.

I use these when sleeping, so they've got to be comfortable. These are low-profile, so I can sleep on my side as well as on my back, and they're OK for a while, but after a couple of months the seals start to flatten out. This reduces the acoustic effectiveness, and the shells press on my head -- I often wake up with a headache from the pressure. Replacement seals are available, but they're usually sold in bulk only, and cost about 1/2 the price of a new set. Going to try the H9A Optime 98, which claims to have a broader seal and "Soft seal liquid/foam filled cushions" which may be more comfortable and last longer. Update: I spoke with Peltor tech support, which comes in 2 flavors: support for passive headsets like the Optime series, and active-electronics headsets, like the Tactical Pro and others. The passive side said they thought the most comfortable headset was the Optime 98; the active side offers lots of options, mostly bulky, with electronics I don't need, and all pretty expensive. They both suggested the best solution for my particular problem would be to keep my Optime 95, but replace the seals with Peltor's HY80 Gel Ear Seals. (These fit a lot of their headsets, but DON'T fit on the Optime 98.) That way I could keep the low-profile ear cups, but add the extremely comfortable (but pricey) gel ear seals. They should be here in a couple of days; I'll update further in a week or two. Another update: I used them last night with the new seals, and they're now the perfect solution for sleeping in a noisy environment. Very effective noise reduction, and very comfortable. We'll see how long they last. I wore them all night and woke up only when my wife shook me awake, concerned about a barking dog outside. I guess that's one downside of sleeping with these things -- if the alarm (clock or burglar) goes off, I'll never hear it. All I have to do now is add a wireless receiver in the headset and transmitters on the alarms to pipe the alarms' audio in.

Good Quality 👍

Excelente producto

Son las mejores para dormir (las que van detrás de la cabeza). Se pueden usar junto con tapones de oídos. Para dormir de lado se puede usar una almohada rígida (o el propio brazo por debajo, yo personalmente siempre uso unas 8 playeras revueltas como almohada) para la parte superior de la cabeza y listo. Ayudar a reducir muy bien el ruido y no estorban. Para hacerlas más frescas se les puede poner cinta micropore o papel, en las donas, es cuestión de ingenio.

makes me not able to hear things... good job

Perfect for big head. Dont forget this are ajustable ! Not everyone know this in comments I use it for outdoor mowing.
