5 out of 5 stars Can you hear me now? Yes, because I've got microphones!   July 5, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

These babies are fantastic. I use them while I'm working on projects and when I'm doing yard work. They are comfortable, not too hot, strong, and resistant to rain (so far). The sound quality is excellent, too.

Also, the surround microphones cut out when sound is greater than 85 dB (peaking), while the radio stays on.

Tuning knob for radio stations
Toggle switch for AM/FM (this switch is inset, so as not to bump it easily)



4 out of 5 stars 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.


3 out of 5 stars Problem with headset   May 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
