 Much better than I thought October 9, 2008
Marine (Wash DC)
I read all the reviews on this item and was a little skeptical----but bought it anyways. The reception is excellent---much better than my other ear muff radio. Additionally, I saw complaints that the earmuffs were tight and uncomfortable. I found it you just bend it out a little---its fine. This was a great buy!
Does the Job! October 5, 2008
James C. Buie Sr. (Tarboro, NC USA)
Bought these for work--we use hammer drills, vacuums, and other loud tools. They work great for this application. Like all products that have vinyl to skin contact, you will have to periodically stop and wipe the sweat off of the ear cover. Right after I purchased these, a friend invited me to a NASCAR race--they worked great for this application as well. They kept the noise bearable and I could listen to the race while watching. Service was prompt and they arrived as promised.
Worth it..... August 12, 2008
Wesley Lavigne (Maine)
I bought the Peltor Worktunes in July of 2006 and have used it year-round since then. When I bought it, it was 59.99, now that the price is 35.00 it is a no brainer. I would buy this model again before purchasing one of the more exspensive ones that are getting poorer reviews. I use it to reduce noise and listen to the radio while snowblowing, lawn mowing, cutting down tree's, using sanders...... I love it. It is comfortable and saves your hearing. I must have dropped it 50 times and it is still working strong, it's covered in paint and drywall mud.... batteries are longlasting. My only complaint is that the radio reception is limited roughly to stations emitting a stronger signal. I only listen to 3 local FM stations though and all 3 come in very clear so it is not a problem for me. Dont bother with the more exspensive ones, for the price this is a great deal.
Great Headphones June 29, 2008
Nicholas J. Derevyanik (moonachie,nj)
Great headphones Excellent quality and really reduces noise when using with my leafblower and weeder. Also use for walking while listening to Radio. The only negative is
the weak station signals especially on AM Band. Would purchase another pair in a heartbeat.
Good product May 15, 2008
Achmed Kasium (Eek, AK)
This product works fine as a radio. I haven't tried plugging in an MP3 player yet. Some people complained about reception. I don't have any problems. In live in a rural area but on top of a mountain. I get many stations with this unit. I use it on my tractor to mow the lawn. I can still hear the tractor, but it is muffled enough where I do not need to raise the volume very high on my Peltor Racetunes. I haven't used the AM function since I don't really have much use for AM. The FM signal does not fade in and out. Once I have the station of my choice set, it works fine. Don't forget to turn the unit off when you are done. And make sure you make a good seal around your ears. I press mine on to make sure.
Any gap will only bring louder noise from outside the headset.
One more thing. I don't suggest listening to "talk radio" with this headset if you are using equipment that is loud. Talking is somewhat unclear over the noise.
