3M Safety Band Style Hearing Protector, Orange

I have used these for years. They pop in quick, even one handed. They're good for intermittent and immediate need. They stay out of the way on my neck until I need them. No they're not strong protection in dangerous noise areas but for average everyday use like lawnmower, dog barking and other sharp sounds that over time rob you of hearing they are great and ready. They're washable and replaceable too.

I engage in a variety of activities that call for the use of ear plugs. For me this item is about convenience. The ability to hang ear plugs around your neck while not in use. Then, when needed, they are right there to put on. After I put them on I wait a couple minutes for the plugs to seal. The nose cancellation is great. The material is smooth and spongy. The item is very lightweight.

Kind of small and I have a small head. I remember these fitting much better 20 years ago.

These are the best. A little wiggling when you insert them into your ear and you are good to go for blowing, mowing, or any other noisy chore.

I am used to renting muffs at the range but wanted my own and something more portable. These were obviously a little more involved to get equipped properly, and I was concerned with the noise level when I entered the indoor range. It definitely was louder than muffs, and one side was poorly inserted and needed adjustment. Well, I kind of got used to it and didn’t worry about the noise - it wasn’t hurting my ears or anything like that, they stayed in better than I thought they would, and when I left my ears weren’t ringing or otherwise impacted at all, so I guess they are fine. I don’t think they are my ultimate solution though - I’d like to find a pair that are more secure, better insulating, and have a cable rather than the band (which is slightly awkward).

These hearing protectors work very well. They are great at the shooting range when firing a rifle because they do not touch the stock of the rifle and therefore do not transfer noise into the shooter's ears. They are easily stored and transported and can be cleaned with a wet and soapy cloth. They certainly do as well as very expensive ear-plugs! However, they can become uncomfortable if one wears them for a long period of time. Also, stick with "earmuff" style protection when firing a pistol. These are really good for use when firing a rifle!

I question the design. I have a typical head size and a bit thick on the neck, but I cannot even wear these without discomfort. The design is very flawed. 3M?

I use these hearing protectors often. I keep them handy in my purse for concerts & clubs with live music, causing me to be envied on numerous occasions.

Practical and effective

Lo uso para trabajar con herramientas eléctricas para carpintería/albañilería y cancela muy bien el sonido; también reduce de forma muy efectiva el ruido del compresor de aire. LO MEJOR es que, por su diseño, NO SE COLOCA EN LA CABEZA, sino en el cuello para no interferir con el uso de careta, lentes protectores y/o casco de seguridad. Para quienes quieren usar esta pieza como diadema sobre la cabeza: ahí no va, así es el diseño. Los recomiendo mucho.

Buen material, si se oye un poco cuando rozas la diadema pero lo usé en plataforma de aeropuerto y en comparación es nada, está un poco corto por los que de cabeza grande lo terminamos usando con la diadema hacia atrás o hacia abajo para que lo tengan en cuenta, ojalá hubiera un modelo con plástico más flexible pero por el precio está bien,

This ear plug just suits me at my work place. Easy to remove and put on cause of the blue plastic holder and the plug just sits comfortably in my ears. Thank you.

Para ser producto 3M su calidad es muy baja tuve que lijar el plástico ya que lastima en cuello es x defecto de molde .Es el primer producto 3M de baja calidad pensé que será mejor que la marca EAR fue comprada x 3M pero bajo la calidad en estos productos
