radio and mp3 eardefenders

[arbormonkey]

looking at getting a pair of ear defenders with built in radio to use while splitting log processing etc any recommendations budget prepared to pay for quality

I have a pair of husqi ones.

Radio is great and with good batteries lasts ages. It has mp3 socket. The volume from mp3 is less than the radio, and can be hard to hear with the louder machines running.

You can have your phone connected and it will cut out the radio to let you know it's ringing.

I've got peltor ones, their quite good but i also bought a couple of pairs from Aldi or Lidl the other day £29 each they are quite good for the price

I had the husky ones, thought they were badly made (cheap nasty feeling plastic, rough finish etc) but they worked ok.

Got some of the lidl ones, they worked ok too, seemed a bit better constructed than the husky ones.... Battery door keeps falling off but a bit of tape soon sorted that

 

Now I'm on Bluetooth headsets from evilbay. Sounds great, good functionality (intercom, plays music, handsfree phone, really good noise suppression on the mike, intercom works between vehicles driving in convoy) don't know how well they'll last but happy so far.

I want a pair, but unsure if to get head band ones or ones to go on the helmet?

i have the red peltor ones, they are pretty good, had them a few years and ok so far. easy to leave them switched on, and volume can be knocked by high collar jackets.

i like them but i havent tried any others?
