Hi there.

Ooops! No I haven't. I was using a normal set of headphones for log splitting but they weren't ideal. I foolishly thought the leap from headphones to ear defenders wouldn't be too bad. I was wrong. £400+ Even Husky at £200 is well beyond me.

I'll stick with ear plugs.

 

Sorry I should have done my research before launching a thread.

How are they a distraction? Music keeps me focused.

 

Why do you need BlueTooth? Get a pair of these for £38:

Run the lead down to your phone under your jumper in the winter. I use a cable with a mic/answer button halfway up that clips to my collar, and play tunes from the phone if I'm not talking on it. Sound quality excellent. They also do a pair with a built in radio:

Whatever you get, make sure it's Howard Leight/Pulsafe/Sperian/Bilsom (it's a complicated distributor network!) You can get helmet mounts for them too if you look hard enough, let me know if you struggle. They knock the spots off Peltor etc, and are cheaper to boot.
