proxlamus© Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I just bought a nicely priced set of Peltor A/O Safety ear muffs/hearing protection for $49 at Home Depot that has a built in AM/FM digital tuner and AUX input!! I will highly recommend them for working on and fabricating on a car!! Cuts out 22 db and has great music input. The AM/FM radio uses batteries.. but the AUX input from your iPod or MP3 doesnt require any batteries. The radio sucks flat out.. needs a better antenna. Combine this headset with your blackberry and pandora radio.. and its perfect. With my car on the rotisserie and working 3-4 hours at a time with a air chisel and 4 1/2" angle grinder it makes life a lot more relaxing. ** I'm not trying to sell this.. but if anyone is looking for a nice headset with hearing protection, its awesome ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I need that. My others broke + I can have some tunes, great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Can you turn them up really really loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 lol, I just put my headphones in and turn it up louder then the grinder/cutting device. If I'm gonna go deaf, I might as well be enjoying what I'm listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I will highly recommend them for working on and fabricating on a car!! Not me. I do use ear plugs to reduce the noise level and I do keep a stereo running at a medium volume in the shop, but playing music through headphones would mask too much noise. You need to hear what's going on when you're cutting, grinding, sanding, welding, etc. Sound gives you important information about what's going on.

proxlamus© Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 John, I agree to an extent.. but knocking off undercoating for hours and hours at a time.. there is nothing I want to hear about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You don't like the screech of the scraper or the buzz of the wire wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
