3M WorkTunes Hearing Protector

These earphones are excellent. I have used these quite a bit now. They work great with using my cell phone they are so clear its just awesome how it cancels out the outside noises. I was really pleased when I used them as headphones to listen to music it was very pleasant and all I could hear was the music playing no outside noises around me. When you don't have music on or you are not on the phone, just wearing the earphones for peace and quiet is amazing. I could not hear a thing they are really cushioned well. Now what really impressed me is when my husband tried them on, he is retired now but he was a welder for many years. And when he put them on I done thought I lost them. He really likes them. He said they were really comf...

They were great, now useless.

Loved them until the charging port fell out. I got them for Father's Day a few years back and used them for all sorts of projects. Now the battery is dead and I cannot charge them. I would recommend you look elsewhere. Great while they lasted, but under my light use they quit way too early to get a decent review.

    Outstanding Bluetooth Headset

    I received this product as a member of the walmart sparkreviewer program. This headset is OUTSTANDING!!! When I first received it I did not realize that it was also a headset. I ordered it as ear muffs particularly due to the focus on noise cancelling. To my surprise, it wa able to connect to my MacBook and iPhone seamlessly. The audio quality is great, plus the soft padding and construction of the headset makes it perfect when it comes to noise cancelling and keeping sound out. While transcribing some documents, this was a go to part of my routine. I was able to easily focus at the airport, cafeteria area, lounge, etc. Even without the music coming through it served as a great ear muff. I often combine it with some ear plugs, when both are...

    Sounds like Expensive Headsets

    This Headset fits very snug. But it is still very soft and comfortable. The noise reduction is a 24 decibels. I can be in my living room with my tv on and my dog barking right beside me and I can't hear either one of them. The stereo sound is fantastic. It sounds like it is from my more expensive set that I already have at home. This set even looks expensive. There is one button on the headset. The volume is controlled by the device you are using. Press the button on the headset (about three seconds, until the Lady voice say's "Power On, Battery ?." After she says "Battery", she will state if it is high, medium or low. When it is getting low she will say "Battery Low" every 20 minutes. The final warning she will say "Battery Empty." The hea...

    Great Noise Blocking with Good Speakers

    3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Technology work perfectly in blocking noise while hearing your incoming calls and listening to music. The noise reduction rating is 24 decibels. I have to admit that I do not work in a career where hearing protection is a necessity. I do however enjoy noise blocking headphones since I work from home and need to tune out my family while concentrating. As an added use, I do enjoy having these on while vacuuming the house so I can listen to music clearly. I can see many other home uses for these also, such as while mowing the lawn or working with home power tools. I already own noise blocking headphones that I was using around the house when needed. However, I really enjoy the added functio...

    GREAT HEARING PROTECTION

    The 3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Technology is a great work/home tool. It is very easy to connect it to your bluetooth device (phone/MP3 player). I wore them while using the snow blower and was able to enjoy relaxing music while clearing the snow. I wore them inside during a noisy windstorm and was able to hear phone calls clearly. They really do protect you from the outside noises and help you to be able to concentrate on the work at hand. I would recommend these to anyone who does work in a noisy environment.

    EASY to use & great sound!

    This is probably the easiest device I have ever connected. My 82-year-old mother could pair these. One of the greatest thing about these Worktune earphones is that there is ONE button that does everything! Simple, easy, paring to your phone. Just press the button on the rt ear and your iPhone will recognize, you tell it to connect and abracadabra! You are connected! The earphones are also hearing protectors and as I am reviewing, I am listening to my iTunes while the TV is on medium volume the same room. While the music is playing, I do not hear any background noise. In between songs, I can hear the TV softly in the background. The wireless connection range is pretty good -approximately 25 feet. The Worktunes are snug, comfortable, and ...

    Hearing Protector

    The headphone/hearing protection are well made and includes a usb cable for charging. I used them in blue tooth configuration and just as straight hearing protection and found the item to provide very good protection as well as excellent head phones for music. The padding that is fitted around the ears is especially comfortable to me. There are some caveats, however; in that the product is a bit on the heavy side and they do induce sweating. It is not noticeable at first, but as time passes, your ears start warming up and sweating. Additionally, you start to notice the weight more and more. Around the 20-30 minute limit, it was necessary to take the hearing protection off and wipe it off with a towel. Overall, I would recommend the product ...

    Works well enough

    The direct in port for 1/8” audio mini plugs is a little bit loose, however bluetooth seems fairly reliable. Does well enough either for music listening or as a set of headphones for a work radio (with use of a separate bluetooth transmitter) in an environment that requires hearing protection (think like working around heavy machinery). In my experience using these as both ear protection and as a (bluetooth) set of earphones for my work radio, these have performed fairly well and they do last a full 8 hour shift for me with room to spare. Not advertised, but these are compatible with hard hat ear muff brackets from other 3M ear muffs. Talk it over with your employer before you try this though, the wire connecting the cans may or may not b...

    Unable to connect to iPhone 14 Plus

    The hearing protection is excellent however I've been unable to connect to my iPhone 14 Plus. I don't know why. My iPhone is scanning and finding other devices around me, including my neighbor's LG tv, so I know that's working. Can someone help me please

    Excellent hearing protector/headphones

    I received the 3M™ WorkTunes™ Connect Wireless Hearing Protector with Bluetooth® Technology through the Walmart Spark Reviewer Program free for my honest opinion review. It is said to be the next generation in WorkTunes™ hearing protection and entertainment. Equipped with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology that I find very convenient, these ear-protective headphones allow you to stream the entertainment of your choice from your smart phone or other mobile device, while providing ear protection in noisy environments, like at work. You should be sure to read the instructions before you set up the FM radio settings as it really helps to get all the stations on it. It combines a modern, comfortable design with hi-fi sound quality and also lets you ...

    Great for sport shooting

    Ive had these for probably 4 months now and they are wonderful. I use these on a regular basis, i use them when mowing the lawn, when running a chainsaw cutting fire wood, at work as a mechanic and while shooting targets in the yard. They definitely withstand what i put them through, ive dropped them quite a few times. The sound quality is decent for what they are tho i wish they had alittle more bass. When i first got them they were alittle tight for my ears but they have gotten better with use. I do see that the wires that connect the speakers will get broken because they are alittle vulnerable and ive got them snagged a couple times, they really should have made them alittle more protected. These headphone/earmuffs come with the charging...

    Pretty Cool Bluetooth Headset/ Hearing Protectors

    I think these can make a great gift for someone. Buy one for them and buy one for yourself. What I love about these are that you can mowe the lawn and listen to your playlist from your phone or mp3 player. You can make and take phone calls all through your Bluetooth devices. When you finally get your hearing protector fully charged , , just turn it on and you will hear a voice update on your battery. The sound is Hi Fi, sounds like a stereo. It has an auto shut off after 2 hrs. (It does not have a radio inside) It comes with a USB cord so you can charge the battery witch last a few hrs. It also can be connected through via a 2.5 audio cable. that is Not included. The ear pads are so soft and very comfortable. They fit snug , althoug...

    Great work-ready headset that protects hearing

    I was looking for hearing protection that also allows me to hear my phone if it rings when I am out cutting grass. I think I found it with the 3M WorkTunes headset. It was easy to connect via bluetooth with my iPhone and the audio quality is excellent for listening to music as well as talking on the phone. Each ear cup covers the entire ear and it fits snug to my head. I have a large head, and the adjustable features of the headset allowed it to expand and swivel to fit my head and ears just right. Since it is the middle of winter, I have not had a chance to really test it out as I cut my grass, but just wearing them around the house they seem to do a good job of blocking out noise. I can also see using these for when I go target shooting.

    Great for blocking ear harming sounds.

    The 3M work tunes connect hearing protector with Bluetooth technology, 1/pack. Comes with instructions and charging cord. Do read instructions carefully. When you put on the headphones and activate the Bluetooth it will tell you how much battery life is left. According to instructions you should not charge until it says is out of battery. These headphones are very sharp.i love the solid black with yellow ring around each ear piece. On each ear cover it is embossed with 3M. On the piece that goes on the top of your head it is embossed with the words Work Tunes. There is an all purpose button on one ear cover. It starts and stops music and movies ect.., turns on and off the unit, it sets up the Bluetooth pairing, and also answer and hangs up ...

    It's a noise reducer not an eliminator.

    This device is only six decimals short of a perfect rating for what is available on the market these days for noise reduction headphones. Unlike golf, the higher the score (decimals), has the greater value. The only independent feature the headphones have is noise reduction. It won't work like regular headphones hooked up to any computer. This was disappointing because my current phone doesn't have the Internet and I don't have Bluetooth on any other device except my husband's phone. My favorite place for watching TV is my desktop and was really disappointed to learn that I have to buy a Bluetooth adapter to make it work there. As for its sound reduction performance, it is true that it doesn't completely remove the noise, but reduces it to ...

    Product Defective

    These headphones arrived in a damaged box which caused me to put up a warning red flag right at the gitgo. When I took them out of the box however, they were fine, no visible damage at all and they looked great! I followed the instructions and charged them first thing. They took forever to charge and never displayed a light when finished, so after 12 hours of charging, I finally decided to turn them on and give them a try. I could hear bits and pieces of static but they just would not connect. The headphones themselves were very tight once I put them on and so uncomfortable. They were bulky and they were heavy. Just not comfortable at all. So after 5 days of trying to get them to work, I finally gave up. So because I could not get them to p...

    Whistle While You Work Seems Appropriate

    The 3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Technology, 1/Pack instructions are clear and concise. Carrying out those instructions is not the easiest to accomplish. The issue is the control button operation. Turning the headset on and off by holding down the control button on the side of the right ear protector for three seconds works easily. Activation of the Blue Tooth search mode by depressing the control button twice is kind of dicey. Simply pressing the button twice does nothing. I found that it works well by depressing the control button quickly twice works. It must be a quick click-click action to achieve the desired pairing of the hearing protector to the Blue Tooth device. The sound isolation provided by the heari...

    Impressive

    The 3M WorkTunes are really great at noise cancellation and the battery life is very impressive. The only thing I would say that needs to be improved would be the volume and clarity of the sound you play through them. Other than that they were still more impressive than what I first initially thought.

    Huh? I can't hear you... mostly!

    To start, these “hearing protectors” are awesome! They're smaller and fit my head well. They adjust easily, and are comfortable. I am on the spectrum and I easily get overwhelmed and overloaded with sounds. I leaped at the opportunity to review this product because I like the idea of having a way to muffle the sounds around me, but not having to take them off to make and receive phone calls. The headset portion works well and the sound quality is decent. They are excellent at projecting the sound around the mic. If it's loud, the person on the phobe will hear it too and pretty much as if they were right there in the room with you. For music playback, the bass frequencies aren't all that great, but it works well for a quick fix, in a noisy...
