 Helps control my environment February 26, 2010
Brad Teare (Providence, Utah, USA)
I suppose I am one of those people who needs quiet in order to create. The people next to my office frequently listen to music while working or have loud office meetings. I bought these ear muffs to control my environment. I would say that it cuts out 99% of the sounds. If there is someone talking I can hear a distant muffled garble, very indistinct and generally not bothersome at all. Occasionally I will hear a distant bass note or a drum beat depending on the type of music he is listening to.
I would guess that these muffs would significantly reduce music you might hear in an apartment situation although I haven't tested them in that environment yet. My only complaint is that after an hour or so the muffs can start to seem a bit tight (even though initially they are extremely comfortable). I occasionally have to take a break for 10 minutes or so before I put them back on. I would imagine that if I were walking around it would keep the circulation going better (I sit at a computer). If I were going to study at a loud library or other public space these would definitely allow improved concentration.
Well worth the money and much better than the extremely uncomfortable brand I bought at my local box store.
They work February 13, 2010
History buff
The community I live in always has some racket, be it trucks, car stereos, hammering, doors slamming. These do the trick and are reasonably priced. I suppose the noise-canceling variety would be even better, but if you have a modest budget these will even block out the phone ringing.
You will occasionally need to take these off to let loose some suction pressure and get them comfortable again, but I have taken many a nap with them on so the comfort level is great if you sleep on your back.
Great value.
Great noise reduction for lots of uses February 6, 2010
BAM (San Diego, CA USA)
I originally bought these to reduce machine noise while I was mowing the lawn or using the leaf blower. When my daughter left for college she complained about dorm noise keeping her awake at night so she brought these along with her. Now she sleeps with them every night! I know it sounds a bit crazy but it really seems to work for her and lets her fall asleep even when it is very loud. In addition she says the slight pressure on her temples from these has a calming, soothing effect,,,kind of like a gentle massage. Who would of thought....
GREAT! February 4, 2010

Peltor Hearing Protection February 3, 2010
Jerry L. Coffey (Fort Worth, TX USA)
The Peltor H10A Optime 105 Over-the-Head Earmuff is very well-made. Quality material and easily adjustable for perfect fit and they remain where you set them without constant readjustment. Noise reduction is very good and overall, they are much better than the 'muffs found at most firing ranges.
