Peltor MT15H7B SV Tactical Pro Behind the Ear Hearing Protector

The Tactical Pro Hearing Protector provides a unique response amplification and impulse noise suppresion to 82 dB. Ergonomic controls and padded headband. Behind the neck headband feature allows for hats and helmets to be worn.
Customer Review: Non standard mono audio jack
Turning on the electronics requires pressing and holding the on/off button. Do this while wearing the hearing protectors and you'll be punished with an incredibly loud and annoying BEEP. The on BEEP is different than the off BEEP, there is no way to reduce the volume of these BEEPS. The volume controls are on the same side as the on/off button. Fortunately they are slightly different shapes. There is an audio in jack, but it isn't a standard 1/8" mini plug or even a 3/32" sub mini plug. You will need a special adapter to plug into a radio or iPod. The input jack is incapable of providing true stereo listening. There are only two not the required three poles for stereo. The optional (not included) "stereo" cable just mixes the channels to both ears. I found the not included "Stereo Cable for Peltor Electronic Muffs-FL6N (3.5mm plug)" available from other web sellers for twenty five dollars! Headphones are capable of amplifying normal sounds above ambient levels, in quiet environments you'll be able to hear things that normally go unnoticed. The microphones do work in stereo to allow for directional hearing. The manual lists the attenuation dB values as H 31, M 29, L 25. The ISO 4869-1 EN 352-4 grade is A, and unit meets 89/336/EEC. These specs puts these headphones near the top of available headphones. Overkill for mowing the yard, more suitable for indoor shooting ranges. AA batteries are included. Substitute Lithium AA for lighter weight and corrosive leak protection.

Peltor WorkTunes AM/FM Radio Headset with 22 dB Reduction Hearing Protector #90545

Protect your hearing and listen to music at the same time. Whether you are at the job site, in the workshop, or mowing the lawn, you may be putting your hearing at risk, or at the very least putting up with irritating noise. Regular earplugs are uncomfortable and prevent you from listening to music while you work. WorkTunes' hearing protectors offer a high level of hearing defense as well as let you replace the irritating noise with your favorite AM or FM radio station. And while many stereo headsets have volume levels that can damage hearing, this set has a maximum volume level of 85 decibels, lower than the threshold of danger.
Customer Review: Great sound
These ear protectors do a great job of blocking out the unwanted noise and allowing clear music in the headphones.
Customer Review: Mr.

Customer Review: Got these for my father's 60th Bday
These are perfect for my father who needs to protect his hearing, but still needs to be able to hear his brothers talking when they go shooting. It's quite amazing the sounds that it picks up, in fact you can probably hear animals rustling around in the woods if you are a hunter. This review is based on the initial experience and does not reflect a long-term ownership review, but so far so good!
Customer Review: Excellent electronic hearing protection at a great price
Bought the Peltor Tactical Pros to replace a Peltor Tactical 6S electronic muff which I gave to my brother. My primary use for this product is for hearing protection at the gun range. From the moment I first tried on the tactical pros, all I can say is "WOW". The earcups are bigger than those on my tactical 6s. With that being said, everything else is significantly better. The tactical pro is very comfortable. The gel cups provide a good comfortable seal. I can wear these muffs for hours without the slightest discomfort. Once or twice I have actually left the range and had forgotten to take them off. The muffs are incredibly easy to use. Just hold down the middle button, wait for the beep, and voila... you can hear everything. Repeat the procedure to turn them off, and if you happen to forget they will turn off automatically. A convenience I did not have with my tactical 6s. You don't want to know how many times I've replaced the batteries on those things. The batteries are very easy to change and can be done without having to take off the hearing protection... a real convienience. There is also a port to connect a music device or to use for communications. I havn't used this feature, so I can't really comment on it. The higher NRR rating is what I really like best about these muffs. Protecting your hearing is always a worthwhile investment. While not as highly rated as some of the ProEars (with a maximum NRR rating of 33), the tactical pro doesn't cost nearly as much either. I've contemplated purchasing a set of ProEars in the past, but just couldn't justify their high cost. Peltor is world renowned for their hearing protection products and is used by just about every police and military unit around the globe. For its balance of price, quality, and features; I haven't found anything better than the Peltor Tactical Pro. I have been very satisfied with this product.

Customer Review: good noise reduction
The only thing I noticed is that the back colored ear cap can come off.
Customer Review: Best loud noise protection for precious little ears
We bought a pair of these for our now five year old when he was two. He hated amplified music and fire engines, but with these on he could enjoy outdoor rock concerts and parades. They also allowed him to experience his first fireworks without fear. His little brother is now super-sensitive to sirens and truck horns, so we knew we'd need these for his summer fun.

Advanced dual lens design combined with air seal for comfort, protection and impact absorption make this a safe and fashion forward way to protect your eyesight. Excellent orbital eye coverage and wide field of vision. Protection from sun, dust and wind.
Customer Review: Nice....
I received this item as a goldbox discount for an incredible price... by far the best safety glasses I've ever owned (I use them around the shop), but I believe you can wear them for shooting as well. You can use the headband or they do come with regular arms to make them like normal glasses.
Customer Review: Big head? Big pain!
My hat size is XL, and to say these are uncomfortable would be an understatement; they press painfully against my facial bones. No amount of tightening or loosening the elastic band worked (well, other than so loose they didn't seal). The goggles themselves are not built for this someone with an extra large head and hence, extra large face. So much for one size fits all. Don't buy these unless you have a small(er) head.

Customer Review: Good Service - Good Product
The first product I received was defective. I called Amazon and they could not have been more helpful in getting me a replacement extremely quickly. The second product I received was fine. I have now used the Peltor unit and found that it did everything it claimed to do well and was extremely comfortable to wear.
Customer Review: Best thing i have ever bought
Great for the range or hunting, very comfortable you can hear the Deer before you see them. And at the range they are great, very quite and still be able to talk with them on between shoots

Peltor 90541 WorkTunes AM/FM Hearing Protector with Digital Tuning

AM/FM radio headset and hearing protector all in one. Digital readout for easier usage. Noise reduction rating of 22dB.
Customer Review: OK Headset
Not as good as my old Radio Shack Optimus headset. Is not as lout in loud environments (like auto races) as I would like. Disappointed, especially for the price.
Customer Review: very poor reception
I recently received this product and was anxiously waiting for it since so many reviews were positive. However, when I received it I got absolutely no reception in my home and outdoors I had to be physically turned to the right spot to receive the signal without a lot of static. I live in an area with VERY strong signals so that is not the issue. I now have to search again for a product that actually does what it says. I own an iPod classic and it did not work at all with that either. The only good thing is that Amazon is great about returns and I did not have to pay return postage.
