Once You Try Them - You Can't Live Without Them

I have a set of ear muffs/protection which let me hear people talk yet muffle “tooling” sounds, they are perfect because the little dial on the side of the ear muff is adjustable in that if another person talks too much I can turn them off. In the event of an accident which sometimes can and does cause serious and potentially pernament hearing loss…................the ear phones automatically shut out that noise.

If I was ever a boss in a shop that was attempting to make a “go” at making money in that used serious power tools and required people to “pay attention” then cell phones and Ipods are left in their locker…....some acceptions reviewed.

I have never heard a radio/CD etc blaring in a libraery. and woodworking requires people to pay attention in the event they are being paid.

I believe that the brand is peltor and not worktunes. I have the noise thingie like roman with the AM/FM and it is great. I think that the noise enhancement/cancellation is worth every cent, as working without hearing your environment while woodworking is really dangerous.

Great review – glad you are enjoying your new purchase!

ya like i said above for most things with the table saw and tools where you are paying attention i don’t really even turn it on but for sanding its great.

I have a set of plain old ear muff protectors, no sound. I like to put the ear buds in from my mp3 player and then the ear muffs over it. Works great. Only on sanding though.

ya i did that before Bill but that was uncomfortable a bit for me so i got these. like you i use it for the majority on sanding but it does work good on other tasks to. I don’t blast the music or anything i just have it on. nothing that takes my mind off pf the task at hand I’m still fully focused on what I’m doing just its nice to hear the radio in the background. almost like how they did a study with athletes that when they are focused it doesn’t matter whats around them its only the task at hand and that is how they so so well and stay so focused even with all the pressure and noise around them.

I’ve got the AO Safety Worktunes. It limits the music or radio to 80dbs. I use them even when I’m using the gas powered weedeater and can hear my iPod fine.
