Soundproofing
Customers have a positive opinion on the soundproofing ability of the earmuffs, praising their effectiveness in blocking out various noises from different environments including construction sites, woodworking areas, engine rooms, and even at home while working or watching TV. However, some customers suggest improvements such as adding a thin metal layer for better low frequency noise protection and integrating Bluetooth Hi-Fi sound.
Highlights
Quality
Well built and great at cancelling noise.
Cancels noise well (better if combined with ear plugs), soft and comfortable, easy to adjust, fairly light, quality fit and finish.
The coating on the ears got gummy and started to peel, the foam inside flaked off everywear, the coating cracked, the foam flattened.
One design problem, the holes are too small to fit ears, very un-comfortable.
Price
Believe me, you won't go wrong by buying this affordable, terrific product.
Best noise reducers i found at this price.
Well worth the price of the product.
Best 40 dollars or so i spent of my own money.

Because of the crude packaging, the unit was quite dirty (literally with dirt marks on it) on arrival.
Competitiveness
This is my third pair of ear protection muffs because my first purchase of a cheap brand was too tight.
I tried two other noise-canceling headphones somewhere else, that were more expensive.
Coming from the 3m 105 model, this is better in all aspects.
They seem to cancel out more noise than the cheaper ones did.
