Blue Tooth hearing protection

Topic tags/keywords: resource tip question trick

I’m on the hunt for a good bluetooth capable hearing protection so I can wear them while running the planer, and sturdy enough to work in the shop with,... in Texas summer heat. The reviews for every set on amazon are so polarizing I can’t seem to get a good handle on which ones are actually worth the money. I’d be sweating with them, and they’ll probably get knocked around a little bit. Noise cancellation would be nice but not necessary, and with a rechargeable battery. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

I have these: https://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0723CYHPZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1529724948&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=3m+bluetooth+hearing+protection&dpPl=1&dpID=517t8cqrkyL&ref=plSrch I’m very happy with them. The sound quality is good and they block a ton of noise. Just the other day, my wife was calling my name from about 10ft away and I had no idea. I use them in the SC heat (lots of sweat) and haven’t had any problems. -- Joe \| Spartanburg, SC \| "To give anything less than your best is to sacrafice the gift." - Steve Prefontaine

If you’re considering an earbud style there are these ISOTunes that I’ve heard good things about. A worthwhile video review can be found here. -- "You know, I'm such a great driver, it's incomprehensible that they took my license away." --Vince Ricardo

George Vondriska, with WWGOA, recommended them in a class I took at Weekend with WOOD. He’s got a review on the WWGOA site here. -- Gary, Wisconsin
