Peltor H10A Professional Noise Canceling Earmuff

Much better than earplugs
The amount of sound these things block without the aid of electronics is remarkable, and while they may look goofy, I greatly prefer them to those fiddly little foam earplugs that invariably get lost and exacerbate wax build up. They're definitely snug, but if they weren't they wouldn't work. I've seen dudes with much bigger heads than mine wear them all day long without a problem, so I think all but the most sensitive folks should be able to adapt. Even if you can't, your hearing is probably worth an occasional headache.

Great product at a great price.

Get these and wear them
I've had these for 10 years. They're very comfortable and have held up well. They adjust nicely to any head size. They make any environment pleasantly peaceful.

It's absolutely worth wearing these with loud power tools and hammering. You're going to be old someday. Why add bad hearing to the mix?

Get these and wear them.

Comfortable, silent, and a great price
I quickly graduated from the cheap plastic headband version to a pair similar to these for gun enthusiasts that I found at the local sporting goods store. The current sale price of $16 is less than half what I paid for that pair and as good or better quality. These are comfortable against the ears, lightweight, and really cut the noise level down. I use them in my woodshop and while doing metalworking and have taken to using them while mowing the lawn, running the weedeater, or any other loud powertool.

These work very well
These work well, seem fairly comfortable, and the price is reasonable. I got these because my planer is uncomfortably loud and I found that my hearing took several hours to recover after planing.... I'm afraid of permanent damage so I got these. They really make a huge difference. However, despite the words in the decription, these are NOT active noise cancelling type hearing protectors. They are just passive earmuffs. Nothing wrong with that... I have Bose active true noise cancelling earphones at work -- these Peltors cost 1/10th as much and do more or less the same job as far as I am concerned. If you are around loud tools, I highly recommend ear protection. So far, these seem to do the trick for me.
