3M PELTOR EEP-100 Ear Plug Kit, Rechargeable, Noise Reduction, Construction, Manufacturing, Maintenance

My ears damage more easily than most peoples. Loud noises that don't bother other people will cause my ears to ring. Unfortunately I ended up as a heavy duty mechanic, so I work in an environment that can get loud very quickly and without warning. Compressed air, large engines, power/air tools are commonplace in my work environment, and I hate the inconvenience of taking on/off ear protection, plus sometimes a colleague will start making noise without giving any warning. I have worn these 3M earplugs for 5 full 8 hour work days. The first day I noticed a lot whenever the attenuation kicked in for loud noises. The more I wore them, the less I noticed it and adapted. Some noises like outside wind can be bothersome occasionally, but the vast majority of the time these work as intended. I'll just have to be careful about not losing/damaging them. I can now go into work without fearing that my hearing will be damaged. I highly recommend these to anyone with sensitive hearing who works in an industrial environment.

No son nada baratos, sin embargo, son la solución perfecta para quienes tienen algún tipo de padecimiento auditivo o no lo quieren tener... personalmente tengo hiperacusia y acufenos los cuáles se ven siempre afectados por el exceso de ruido, como en fiestas eventos, lugares con mucho ruido. Poder tener le capacidad de escuchar bien clarito y que automáticamente si hay algún ruido peligroso sea eliminado es maravilloso, pues ningún otro dispositivo hace lo que estos hacen y personalmente tengo una amplia colección, no los uso siempre, sólo cuando tengo algún evento que requiera de una gran protección. Tiene su chiste ponerlos de la manera correcta, pero practicando un poco es posible notar como el ruido exterior es eliminado hasta que se encienden los dispositivos. los he utilizado durante largas jornadas con poca incomodidad pero hay que acostumbrarse un poco.

I have been using these for 3 years of shooting at the range, in club competitions and all-day firearm training classes. Probably something on the order of 500 hours. Hands-down, this is the best gun-related purchase I ever made. These protected my ears perfectly well in these situations: - Pistol, rifle or shotgun - Up to 20 other people shooting on the same line next with me - Outdoors in the open - Outdoors under an awning - Indoors IF the range is well designed and built (surfaces have good sound absorbing material) These did NOT protect adequately (hurt my ears) in these environments: - In any indoor space which is not specifically designed to absorb gunshot sound (this was an indoor range, but not very well designed/built) - Shooting from inside a vehicle In those two situations, you should probably double up with foam earplugs and big earmuffs anyway. These come with small, medium and large rubber eartips, as well as the foam ones. The foam ones worked well, but wore out quickly. You can buy the "Skull Screws", but don't bother unless you are using the large eartips. I could not fit them in my ear canals. The battery on these lasts a LONG time. After 3 years, I can still use them for a 8-9 hour day and they have never gone dead on me. There is no battery in the case, but you can get yourself a little portable battery pack (like for cell phones) or use any USB charger. I am not complaining, I love how tough the case is, I am pretty sure it would hold my weight if I stood on it. The electronics have 3 volume settings: low, med and high. I find that the low setting is slightly below my normal hearing level and the medium allows me to hear slightly better than normal. For ear safety, it does not really matter which you have selected, the amplifier simply shuts off if a loud noise is detected. The electronics are OK, but not great. They are a little too eager to clamp down on the noise, in my opinion anyway. It gets annoying when you are trying to hear the instructor and they are shooting on a nearby range. That level of sound would not normally be a problem, but your volume level is constantly jumping up and down because the earbuds are trying to protect you. I DO love these things. - I can comfortably wear them all afternoon for a class and generally hear the instructor perfectly while everyone else is taking their hot earmuffs off every chance they get. - I don't have to worry about earmuffs not getting a good seal around my ears due to my hat, hair or safety glasses, earbuds just bypass all that. - I don't have to fight with them when trying to get a good cheek weld, they are tucked in nicely. - They stay in place very well, I have never had them loosen or fall out. I just wish they were not so pricey.

El costo es bastante alto, pero vale la pena. Fui a un festival y mis oídos no terminaron lastimados, al contrario. La batería dura mucho. Los recomiendo mucho si tienen dañado el oído.

These took a little getting used to. In order for the noise cancelling and the microphone to work properly, they have to form a tight seal with your ear canal, and none of the provided tips did the job without hurting like crazy after an hour. I ordered the "skull screw" replacement tips (costs extra), and the difference is extreme. They took a few days to get used to with the new tips, but they work incredibly well and I can wear them for extended hours around heavy machinery with very little discomfort. I usually don't even bother taking them out when I'm in the cab of the truck. Talking with coworkers with them in isn't an issue. All in all, very happy with em, but It would sure be nice if the "skull screw" tips were included, rather than buying them separately in the hope they work better than what's provided.
