3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs

Me han servido mucho en los últimos años para proteger la audición en una zona de trabajo. También para aislar parte del ruido, aunque no lo anulan completamente, si llega a reducirlo bastante (excepto con ruidos muy fuertes cercanos).

Many ear muffs have Noise Rating Reductions of 31 decibels. However this 3M X5A is quieter than other brands which advertise NRRs of 31 db. The fit is great and the ear cups are particularly comfortable. Other brands use a solid head band fastener. This one uses an open centre fastener with scalloped or chamfered sides. Solid bands may exert excessive force on the ears making them uncomfortable. The X5A is a comfortable fit without excessive clamping force on the head. I highly recommend it. I am mainly using it to reduce ambient noise and sounds when I am doing focused work on the computer. My only issue is that the unit arrived with smudges and had streaks which could be wiped off suggesting it was previously opened and used.

atenuan muy bien el ruido (hasta 50 decibeles) ; son un poco cansados despues de un buen rato de traerlos puestos pues aprientan las orejas

Funcionan tal cual lo prometen bloquean el ruido sin problemas personalmente lo utilizo para estudiar y trabajar y me aísla del resto del mundo y son bastante cómodos

Cuando recién compré este articulo no pensé que fuera a bloquear el sonido tan bien como lo hace, he de decir que los sonidos cercanos a menos de 2 metros siguen escuchandose pero muy bajo, mientras que sonidos a mas de dos o tres metros de distancia son prácticamente eliminados en su totalidad. Definitivamente recomendado para quien quiera cuidar sus oidos y trabaje en un ambiente de mucho ruido. Lo único que no me gustó es que después de usarlos un rato siento que presionan demasiado los laterales de la cabeza y pueden crear un effecto de "presión" sobre los oidos, lo que hago es usar primero tapones en los oidos (o in-ear earplugs) y luego sobre de estos me pongo los earmuffs, usando los tapones prácticamente estas en total silencio y no se siente la presión sobre los oidos, aun así solo son para usarse por periodos de máximo 1 hora, por que cansan, estan ligeros pero es la presión lo que hace que cansen.

muy útiles, puedo estar con maquinaria durante horas sin ningun problema

Me cuesta mucho trabajo dormir debido al ruido de la calle. No es la opción más cómoda (a veces tengo que removerlos a la mitad de la noche) pero la reducción de ruido es extrema. El ruido de ambiente se reduce a un murmullo apenas perceptible.No los he usado para otras aplicaciones.

仕事で3個購入しました。私は耳が悪く仕事も騒音があるので取り付け外しなどマフで重宝してます。遮断性も問題ありません！

Soy estudiante de Maestría y necesito mucha concentración; tengo una hermana que está estudiando piano en el conservatorio, cuando practica como el piano es acústico se escucha en toda la casa, aunado a esto, la colonia es ruidosa ya que pasan vendedores con sus bocinas. Estos protectores me ayudaron mucho a poder concentrarme y estudiar, los uso en los momentos más críticos, no se perciben los sonidos y son muy cómodos, se pueden usar por dos horas seguidas y luego descansar. Ahora puedo avanzar en mis estudios y estoy menos irritable y estresado.

Best ear defenders I've ever bought. Comfortable and they block out more sound than I've ever experienced.

I like working in silence and have 2 pairs of these - one for home and one for the office. It muffles sound nicely and really helps me concentrate. I have a largish head for a female but unlike others who have reviewed this, I have found them really comfortable and they fit perfectly.

Los uso cuando el vecino de abajo toca la batería y necesito estudiar. El ruido se reduce bastante. Diría que se reduce en un 70% usando solo estos protectores, pero si debajo de ellos me pongo además unos tapones de esponja el ruido de su batería es ya prácticamente imperceptible. La calidad de los materiales con los que están hechos es muy buena y se ven duraderos. Son cómodos pero si se usan por periodos de tiempo largos pueden llegar a cansar.

These are absolutely not the first headphones I've used to try to block out noise.But they're the first ones to fit somewhat comfortably, without squeezing my head like a vice. They are still a little tight, but very secure, and the pressure seems more widely distributed, which is positive. I think with time, I'll be more comfortable. But as far as comfort goes, this is really not bad at all.Other earmuffs (whatever you may call them) are either super cheap, broken, or incredibly tight and painful on my ears and head. One set I even struggled to open apart to put on my head at all. They folded up and took a minute to unfold as well.When I first put these earmuffs on, the world absolutely fell silent. I heard nothing for the first time ever. It was beautiful. I'm impressed in that regard. It actually does what it's supposed to, and it's designed well also. I feel that the design is remarkable.The earmuffs are adjustable in size, but they pretty much fit me perfectly from out of the box. The earpieces are really big and wide in profile.And that is the one sacrifice. I honestly think I might be too embarassed to wear such a big contraption on my head, in public, unless I had no other choice.. actually, I guess it's not that bad. I'm already used to being stared at.And I'm living for myself, and no one else. So who cares? I sure as hell shouldn't. I'd be happy at least.I'm ordering another pair, but in a lesser decimal protection unfortunately. But they look cooler- skinnier, and with some neon yellow flash.I don't shoot guns and I never will. Nor do I work around noisy construction sites. I need to be protected around everyday life, including people, their voices and places.I'm usually pretty fashion-forward. But I also value and need to protect my health at the moment. Health is my number 1 priority. Without it, I have nothing.Besides, because of the even distribution of weight, the Princess Leia look is lighter than it appears.I need these earmuffs to block out sound. I suffer from sensory sensitivity to the point where I'm now in almost complete isolation. Misophonia. Fibromyalgia. Etc.It makes life really difficult when I can't handle normal smells, sounds and lights, or anything rapid in movement. It gets a lot deeper than just that.This is on top of much grief and chronic pain.So these 3M Peltor headphones are the first step to finding some peace in this increasingly noisy world.Oh and another thing.. this won't concern everyone. But the inside of the earpieces are oval and hollow to allow my ears to fit comfortably inside.They fit right around my ears, thus protecting my left triple ear cartilage piercing. It always feels sore if I touch the area around the piercings.But the earmuff earpieces are a really nice fit, and I appreciate that. There isn't great pressure against my ears, and that's vital.So yeah I'm gonna give this 5 stars now. It's not perfect, and it doesn't particularly feel like a snuggly fur scarf. But this is a huge improvement from my past attempts to block out noise.I admit, I will have to get used to these, and they will irritate me sometimes, if I have to wear them for a long period of time.But it's a great start regardless.If you want good sound protection, there is no doubt that these will do it for you.I'm a petite woman, just so you know. I can see how these can fit almost anybody. Women and men alike. Teens as well.I'm pretty happy with this purchase. I just hope that one day the protection can be slimmer in profile, and softer and more comfortable as a whole, without sacrificing the noise blocking ability.Get this. It works. Well.
