Great features June 27, 2008
This product delivers as stated. Sound attenuation is excellent. Ability to adjust volume to hear important/normal sounds is great. Comfortable for short term use. Only negatives: 1. hot if worn for over 30-45" at a time. 2. tuner on radio is very sensitive, digital tuner would be nice.

I work in a high noise area and have always worn hearing protection but, would remove it to talk with co workers. These hearing protectors from peltor are a terrific product.
I was looking for hearing protection with a radio and decided to try these.I can let through enough sound to be able to understand my co- workers while not having to remove them. The radio makes time go by quickly,and the sound is much better than expected, the separate volume controls are great.
They would be better if the "surround" also had a separate on/off button instead of a combined one with the volume control,and the radio was digital, along with slightly bigger ear cups.
Overall these are a great product and are doing all the things that I purchased them to do.
A little pricey but, well worth the extra money.

I do a lot of woodworking. Sometimes the noise gets bothersome and I was starting to notice a problem with his hearing. I also enjoys listening to the radio while working. The Peltor Alert AM/FM radio headset has solved both problems. The radio headset has elimated a lot of the high pitch noises that bother hearing and still I can listen to the radio. I can still hear outside sounds. (talking, machine sounds, etc.) to make wearing them safe. It just helps elimates the bad sounds.
 Problem with headset May 29, 2008

The unit worked as advertised EXCEPT the AM radio is sensitive to direction. When I turn my head to a certain direction, while listening to the radio, the station fades. This is very annoying while working in my shop or mowing the lawn. This happens only with the AM radio not the FM radio.
Great Headphones - ridiculous cable needed for MP3 May 26, 2008

I bought these headphones to wear while woodworking and cutting the grass. I am happy to say that they do a GREAT job. They have switches on the back of the right headphone that are easy to reach while you are wearing them. The top switch is the noise cancelling/amplification switch and the bottom one is the radio on/volume. The noise cancelling/amplification is amazing. I switched it on and I heard the fountain across the street and birds chirping as if they were right in front of me. Then I picked up a hammer and slammed it down on the workbench and I heard the hammer hit, but it sounded as if I tapped the bench. That is the beauty of these headphones - you can hear everything, but not to a damaging level. You still get the feedback you need from your tools but it is at a level that is pleasant. You can even listen to the radio and still hear everything you need to provided you don't turn up the radio volume too loud - you shouldn't need to since you are blocking out the unwanted noise.
The following things keep the headphones from reaching 5 stars:
The radio tuner is not for the decision making challenged. There is no readout, analog or digital, so you have to listen to the heapdhones and wait for the DJ to say what station you are listening to. Not a big deal, I found a station I like and just leave it there. The station adjustment knob is the large and in the center of the outside of the right headphone - again easy to reach and not so sensitive that you keep skipping your station. The AM/FM toggle is right on the front of the right headphone and easy to reach. The other thing keeping these headphones from 5 stars is the fact a special cable is required to use an MP3 player or other audio device. Peltor is very careful to never show the back side of the left earphone - that is where the goofy connector is located that requires their special cable. There are a couple of websites that sell them - I have seen them for $20-$30, it is an FL6N cable. Maybe there is a good reason for this connector (2 way comm standard or something) but for $110, I want to be able to buy a $2.49 3.5 mm stereo cable and be good to go - or better yet INCLUDE IT with the headphones.
Overall - great headphones with excellent performance.
