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

I work as an aircraft mechanic in a high-operations tempo environment... meaning I do a lot of running around, a lot of tumbling around, and get a lot of jets fixed to do a lot of flying. I've used numerous other forms of hearing protection: Peltor Shotgunners, Peltor H10 Optime, Bilsom Thunder, from what I can recall. I'll go over the various qualities of this product: -Slim design Not quite as slim as the Shotgunners, but definitely not as obstructive as the H10 Optime or Bilsom Thunder. For my line of work this is very nice, as we often work in tight spaces in or around the jets. Also, when running/tumbling around they aren't as prone to wriggle off your head. -Comfort These offer a decent amount of comfort. They only started to get painful to wear after about three hours. They don't get to being uncomfortable/annoying until about an hour. The H10 Optime and Thunder has slightly more padding, but because they are bigger and heavier it makes them less comfortable overall to wear and gets irritating to wear very quickly... a general consensus among my workmates who vary by height, build, headshapes, earshapes etc. The Shotgunners have minimal padding... which is a key part of their slim design. Needless to say they aren't very comfortable either. -Affordable Less pricey compared to the Shotgunners, H10 Optime or Thunder. Yet this doesn't sacrifice much (if at all) in build quality or protection. -Protection These offer slightly more protection than the Shotgunners, but not as much as the H10 Optime or Thunder. The difference is noticeable, but for an industrial area where jet engines reach over 100 dB, the protection is good. For this type of environment the Shotgunners provide an acceptable amount of protection. -Rugged I typically see Shotgunners last 6-12 months (they're not meant for this type of work environment anyway). The H10 Optime and Thunder are fairly rugged, but I think they last as long as they do because most of my people try not to wear them unless they really need to. My H6 Optime has lasted me four years, and was a hand-me-down. While they aren't meant to be tossed about or otherwise abused, I'm pleasantly surprised they lasted in my work environment. For folks who work as car mechanics, in woodshops, or otherwise low-operations tempo environments (where you aren't running around like a madman trying to get things done) these will last you at least twice as long.

bought this item to muffle the loud music played at my gym. Did exactly that. Fit snugly on my average size head and padded ear covers made for comfortable wear. Highly recommend this product.

Comfortable and very effective at blocking sounds. I like these particularly for working/studying and wearing while taking exams. They are also useful if one is not a fan of loud appliance noises (eg, vacuum cleaner, food processor, etc.).

Update (4 months later) I've moved since the last review and these still work great. I use them to study for hours at a time, and they are very comfortable, just make sure your adjust them so they fit correctly. It feels like they don't weigh anything after you've had them on for a few minutes and at times I forget that I'm even wearing them. It'll take a day or two to get use to the pressure though, if you're going to be wearing these for long periods of time. ----- This product was great for cancelling out or reducing ambient noise since it only reduces the noise level by 21dB. If you're in a room and no one is next to you holding a conversation, then these are great for studying and cancelling the ticks of the clock, the squeaks of the table or chair, or the shouting from you Italian neighbor yelling at his indolent, defiant son. If your roommate is throwing a party and you have to study, the addition of 32 dB earplugs along with these completely over the ears, earmuff will do wonders in canceling out the noise, but nothing against the rattling of the bass or the urge to sneak out to have a peak. Adjusting the size was difficult at first because the earpieces wouldn't move, but it eventually budged. Not sure how the guy working with airplanes did it, but if you're trying to make your place a more quiet place for studying, then these may come in handy.

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.

LOVE THESE hearing protection ear muffs. They are adjustable and have a tight grip on the ear which creates a good seal.

Good Quality 👍

イヤマフはじめての購入でしたが、 全体的にとても気に入っているので星5です。 １枚目の写真を見て色合いがオシャレだと思い購入しました。 しかし届いたものはパット部分、上部の頭あての部分が茶色ではなく黒でした。 ３枚目の頭につけている写真の色が正確です。参考にしてください。 色に関してはほんの少し残念でしたが、 装着感、遮音性、軽さ、が気に入っているので気にしていません。 まず軽さですがかなり軽いです。重さで苦になることは絶対にありません。 苦になるとしたら装着感の圧迫感ですがこれは商品の性質上、少しあります。 普通のヘッドホンより少しだけきつい程度です。 私は長時間つけていると慣れて気にならなくなります。 また、持ち運びのために折りたたんだりとかはできないですね。 折り畳めれば最高でした。 そして遮音性に関してですが、 業務用空気清浄機マックス、扇風機マックス、PCフル稼働、エアコンという部屋でつけたら イヤマフ単体で９０％ぐらい遮音されます。 風切り音でうるさくても軽い音なので遮音性が高いのでしょう。 耳栓＋イヤマフをしたら自分に喋りかけてくる人の声は殆ど聞こえません。 イヤマフだけでも何言ってるかわからないぐらいになります。 騒音の多い場所でイヤホンする方は自然と音量上げてしまって、耳への負担が大きくなるので イヤホン＋イヤマフでイヤホンの音量小さくするのも自分はありだと思います。 大きいものと比べると遮音性は劣るので、 ラフなイヤーマフがこれで、もっとしっかり遮りたい方は大きめのを買うのがいいです。

Good and cover noise...

Estoy muy conforme con este equipo de seguridad es muy cómodo se ajusta muy bien no filtra casi nada de ruido yo tengo medidor de ruido y pues siempre es bastante lo que produzco entre 70 y 65 Entonces cuando el torno está cortando metales duró se eleva hasta 90 entonces con supresión de ruido es muy seguro, buena marca calidad y precio muy buenos aceptables estoy muy conforme con mi selección

Out of the box, the earcups didn't go low enough, resulting in an overly-small/tight fit. I thought these are non-adjustable and I'd have to live with the tight fit. If all else fails, read the instructions. So it was my delight to learn the earcups can be slid a lot lower. Now a perfect fit. By using the adjustment, these will fit kids to large adults. They fit comfortably but the headband provides a bit more force than I'd like - but it makes for a good seal and it fits securely even in bumpy environments. The ear pads are soft & cushy despite not being very thick. Overall, these are very comfortable once adjusted properly. Contrary to some other comments, I find the noise reduction is more than adequate. If anything, I'd prefer a bit *less* attenuation because I use these around the house where I like to still hear a little bit of what's going on around me. I've had cheaper hearing protectors whose plastic headbands eventually broke. The stainless steel bands of this one should last many years. These are semi low-profile, so the earcups don't stick out much, giving less of a goofy look when wearing hearing protection. Also love the understated, unique off-white color - nice looking without being flashy. Good job 3M, on designing a simple but solid, professional-quality hearing protector.
