| I need to ask Santa for ear muffs to wear while mowing. I hope he'll bring me something with good hearing protection and audio input, preferably blue tooth, that I can actually hear over the noise of the tractor. Any suggestions for me to pass along? Thanks! |

I had a set of the Howard Leights. They have a headphone jack so I thought I'd give them a try on the mower. I found that anytime they cut loud noises (i.e. all the time on a mower) they cut the audio volume as well. They eventually died and I picked up a set of the Peltor Tac 100s last year when Home Despot had them cheap. I finally got around to trying them out with music sometime this year and found that they do not compress the audio input as the HLs did. If they do I can't tell. They are working for me. -J |

Shooting muffs are really passive protection with mikes and speakers so you can hear people talk. The hearing protection is the same, whether they're on or off. I have a noise canceling aviation headset that works quite well. It's just got too much cord. |
