Husqvarna Professional Headband Hearing Protectors 25dB(A) NRR, Lightweight Ear Protectors with Padded Headband and Clamshell Design for Hearing Protection, Black

I grew up around fireworks, firearms and generally loud environments. We always think nothing will happen to our ears right? Well I took a hearing test and the results weren't A+. Doctor guessed correctly I'd been around loud noises often given the upper ranges I can't hear/very well. I changed my life from this day, and now always wear hearing protection when I operate equipment, shoot or am around loud noises.I own the Husqvarna helmet with similar hearing protection for operating my chainsaw. I really like that setup, so I decided to try these. I'm equally impressed. They fit comfortably with supple padding that's not stiff like other hearing protection. Most importantly, they do a great job in reducing noise to a safe level. Also, I like soft rubber/silicone earplugs, too, as my ears don't sweat with those. Typically I use the ear muffs for quick tasks like operating a table saw and go with plugs if I'm going to be wearing them all day. Regardless go with what works and is most comfortable. I have cheaper $10 muffs and these Husqvarna muffs are more comfortable even though I doubt they provide much more if any hearing protection. So to those not familiar with hearing muffs, yes, they have to fit well. (NOTE: If these feel too tight or loose, check the adjustments on the side...yes, there are some "+/-" sliders to adjust tension.) As I take these on off repeatedly, I'm not sure how they'd feel wearing them all day long as really I don't need to wear them all day...I doubt I ever will. If I'm wearing anything all day like this, it'd be my IPod with Shure headphones as I get fantastic sound (music) plus hearing protection.Bottom-line is when safety gear fits well and performs well, I'll wear it all the time. That's what you have here: gear that works, protects you and you want to use it. 5-stars for these.

I bought one a few years ago and found they stop most sound. Recently I started building a work shop in our basement and the noise was bothersome even upstairs. I bought my wife a pair and she keeps them beside her when I start working. She agrees that they work very well.

They are lightweight and fit exceptionally well. They fit snug around the ear and block out a significant amount of noise. Well made and very comfortable.

These are high quality hearing protectors. Perfect to use while running tractor, heavy equipment. They are easy to adjust and comfortable.

Bought these to use in a noisy lab at work. They definitely do a great job of reducing noise. The headband is soft on top of my head (which is important for me, since the top of my head has misplaced its hair). The ear pieces fit quite well, but they're a bit tight on the ears. The headset has the ability to adjust tightness, but in my opinion they are too tight to start with, and the max tightness setting makes my large head scream "Take it off!" They might be better for people with average to smaller diameter heads. On the other hand, if you're moving around a lot at work, they will certainly stay on your head.If I could improve this product, I would make the tightness setting start out less tight than it is. Other than that, this is a nice headset.

Great product that I should have purchased years ago. Lightweight, tight seal, simple design, and just stiff enough for a snug fit.

For the price these are great hearing protectors. Comfortable with very good noise attenuation.

Great product
