Ear Defenders

[Ianw6522]

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice and guidance on purchasing ear defenders with built in radio/mp 3 player etc. Are they any good and if so any suggestions for make and model.

 

Many thanks

Ian

Hi i have tried them all and the cheaper ones don't last two minuets radio reception is awful unless you stand still and the aux sockets play up. But i would highly recommend these. I know there not the cheapest but they last.

Thanks arbmonkey, I have just looked at them on Amazon and like you say it will be worth paying a bit more for the reliability ...... Many thanks

Allways thought its funny to wear ear defender's to block out noise then have music thumping away instead. Just get some small nice fitting ear plugs for mp3 player to wear in ear defender's job done then wear them with any ear defender's.

I agree with above comment the cheap do not last, I use clearing saw all day and I find peltor good

Lidl ones are great. Had a pair for a couple of years now for wood processing which is rough work and they are still fine.

I have had some venitex ones for a couple of years. About £30 I think!

 

Don't have any issues with reception and are lasting pretty well, I am just careful not to wear them in rain.

 

Downside they are rather on the large size!
