The Peltor H10A Hearing Protector ear muffs really do the job! I ordered them to help eliminate the annoying whine of my computer tower. You know the kind of sound...very slight, but so high-pitched it goes straight to your ear drums and drills a hole til you can't STAND it anymore!! Why am I SHOUTING!? Well, you can see how I had to do something to preserve my sanity. I received the Peltor set and man, oh man, does it eliminate sound!! What pc whine? What pc! This headset completely elimates those little sounds that drive you crazy. I recommend it for those who have noisy neighbors or roommates, barking dogs, drippy faucets, etc. It is amazing. Loud noises can still be heard, so the headset does not interfere with normal life and is not a safety hazard. They are comfortable on the ears, are fairly lightweight, and fit very(!) snugly. If you can't concentrate due to small, annoying noises, you would probably benefit from using this headset. The price is very reasonable, considering the benefits.

Put these on and turn on your shop vac and you will be amazed how much noise reduction these earmuffs provides. In addition, the ear pieces are very soft and extremely comfortable. Wear them to be near any machinery or mowing your lawn and your ears will thank you.

Peltor Earmuffs # H10A
I own several brands of earmuff hearing protectors, including a Smith & Wesson brand for shooting. The Peltor's are the best in every category. The soft ear pieces are the most comfortable, they are light, they are high quality, they block almost all sound, and they are adjustable for head size. They were so good, I bought several more. I wear them when breaking a pool rack (e.g., eight ball), because in a wooden room, that's really LOUD. I use them in the yard when running lawn equipment and put them on every time I use a loud shop tool (e.g., a table saw). The real test is that they are effective on the shooting range with high-powered target rifles. Unquestionably a 5-star product!
 Noise Canceling?? May 12, 2007

You might get the idea from the product name that these are somehow "noise canceling" earmuffs. Well, they certainly aren't any kind of active noise canceling, but for the price you might have guessed that. Anyway, this is a simple product, just a couple of pieces of foam inside a plastic shell. It does attenuate outside noise, but I doubt any noise canceling is possible with foam. Note that wearing the product for more than about 1/2 hour will cause irritation. The material that covers your ears is a vinyl/plastic, without much padding. So basically, the plastic part of the earmuff sits against the skin, making them uncomfortable except for short durations. I've seen another pair that have leather covers, which would probably make them more comfortable.

These earmuffs are extremely comfortable. They are fully adjustable and I even can wear them over a baseball cap. You won't believe how quiet it is with these on. My air compressor is the loudest in my shop. With these on it is only a whisper. I order the best because I wanted to want to use them. I am very satisfied.
