Rating:  - Works Great
Ordered a Peltor Work Tunes...and will say it works great...I like the digital tuning...preset your favorites and tune in with the push of a botton...sound quality is good...and seems to stay tuned in...no fading...for the price...it's a great buy.
Rating:  - Keeps you Safe, and Entertained
I always liked the idea of this product and was surprised at how well it works. I work in a steel building 20 miles from Philadelphia's radio towers yet I get good reception with these. Powered off they are good hearing protection. When I use a FM transmitter on my laptop I can receive the signal even outside of the building. The input for the MP3 etc works well, just turn off the power to the radio. The earphones are passive and will work without batteries and do not turn off the radio signal when plugged in so you can get two sound sources at the time. I am very happy with these.
Rating:  - Poor quality FM reception and uncomfortable
I bought these even after reading the mixed reviews because I figured that the people writing about poor quality FM reception lived out in the sticks. However, I live in a fairly urban area and even the strongest FM stations still had poor sound quality and tended to have a lot of interference.
I believe that part of the problem with these is the poor quality 'speakers' themselves because even MP3s sounded muddy like I was under water. It didn't bother me much when the tractor was running, but when I turned it off, the sound quality bothered me enough that I would rather work in silence.
Lastly, after an hour with these headphones on, I had a headache and my jaw was sore; I believe it was due to the weight and the overall fit.
If you're hoping to get an acceptable pair of headphones for $50, well this isn't them.
Rating:  - great FM very poor AM
Hearing protection effectiveness and comfort is very good. FM radio sound and reception very good. AM radio reception extremely poor. Like all earmuff systems these are very hot and sweaty in warm weather.
Rating: - Not satisfied
This item did not receive good reception at our home at O.H.Ivie. We have sent it to the Peltor repair to see what can be done for better reception.
