Howard Leightby Honeywell Sync Hi-Visibility Digital AM/FM Radio Earmuff (1030390),Bright Yellow/Green, Unisex

I haven't worn them yet for long periods of time. I'll have to come back with an edit, but here's my initial reaction...- They fit tight, I'm thinking they may "possibly" be too tight, but we'll see and I'll comment later...- the pads are not real comfortable, but they are tolerable in the short term... (they definitely seal though)- sound quality is "OK" - there's bass but it"s only "just enough" to (again) be OK- there seems "enough volume" (but it certainly won't be "uncomfortably LOUD" by any means) still, I'm going to call it "adequate" for most environments or applications- controls are VERY clearly defined (if you read the manual) and worked perfectly- I liked the ten possible stored stations (I only used three and they rotate cleanly)- the compartment for the two AA cells was a little difficult to open - on the other hand, I think it will stay closed during use- I didn't like the tuning method too much (having to scan up or down thru each (every) station on the way to the upper or lower end of the frequency depending on where you start - but, you really only rarely need to do this if you program your "favorites" in one or more of the 10 memory locations...- seems to be good sensitivity (strong solid reception)- antenna is more compact (more out of the way) than my last pair of these, but by another mfg.- I don't think the volume control will be hit (changed) as frequently, accidentally, as my last pair - My initial though is that it's in a better position than my last set of these by another mfg.- the volume control isn't as smooth and has a "hitch" point (takes more pressure to change at one point to move the volume control) this shouldn't be that much of a problem, I mention it only because it's very noticeable- I guess we'll see how they hold up, but their are points that seem a little fragile, but then again, I haven't had an issue of any kind yet...- I'm definitely going to keep them - if they'll just "hold up" in use, I'd say they are "good enough"That's how I see them so far...U P D A T E 2/9/2021- They've been reliable- They are more comfortable than I first thought they'd be- hearing protection has been "good"- I wear glasses - This unit doesn't bother me with the glasses- changed my rating to 5 stars for those that care about that rating- battery life has been good- I would buy the exact brand again if I need these againon edit 8/18/22- still working fine - still wear them frequently, mainly during the summer- one negative...It's way too easy to have the volume control hit and moved with your shoulder or coat during typical "work movements." Most of the time the volume is moved UP (way up) I can't tell you how many times I've hit that danged control...I still think they are worth the price, but I will try to find some other suitable replacement. I also wear these often while planting, pulling weeds, but again, mostly while mowing or weed eating. This "issue" though, is "wearing on me" over time... Just thought I'd add this "irritation" to my review...

We live out in the Boondocks in the Heartland. The nearest cities with radio stations are respectively thirty-five minutes away and forty-five minutes away. The farmland around us is quite hilly and can make radio reception a real challenge. I purchased a different set of radio/mp3 headphones for me to use at the gym while I work out and I can't raise a single station, not even a country music station - however I can play my mp3 files so I'm good to go. My boyfriend is not tech savvy when it comes to mp3 files and tf cards so I wanted a set of radio headphones with the best reception possible for him to use while he's out on the tractor or he's in the shed "tinkering". After sifting through all the reviews on Amazon I finally settled on these headphones - the Howard Leight Honeywell AM/FM radio headphones and I'm thrilled that I did. What an excellent product!Now let me start by saying that I'm legally blind and I'm the tech savvy one so reading the instructions was a wee bit of a challenge. I would urge the manufacturer to make the text a bit bigger for the visually impaired or for older consumers who are losing the edge on their vision. Although the instructions were difficult for me to see they were easy to follow and understand. The *moment* we put the batteries in the unit and turned it on my boyfriend found a local radio station *immediately*. He was thrilled with the reception. I was relieved and overjoyed. He absolutely loves the headphones! I tried them on with a radio station on and off and I have to say they really do block out noise. I could barely hear the t.v. that was on in the living room where we were sitting. The headphones provide a snug, comfortable fit too. My boyfriend thinks he'll be able to wear his farm cap under the headset very comfortably as well. One note... he said he did notice a bleed or station fade in stations when listening to the AM setting. When he moved or tilted his head the AM station he had on would fade out, then it would come back when he titled or moved his head back in the opposite direction. I'd noticed this problem on other reviews. However there was NO station fading whatsoever on the FM setting. I HIGHLY recommend these amazing headphones to anyone who lives in a remote area where radio reception is a problem. These bad boys get five stars in my book. I'll probably end up buying a set for myself in the future just to wear around the house. You guys rock in the Boondocks Honeywell!!!!UPDATE: My boyfriend used the headphones for the first time the other day to mow the property. He cuts the grass using an old Farmall tractor he restored. (Not sure of the year but I think it might be a 1930's model). He noticed an electrical interference and thinks it might be coming from either the spark plugs or the spark plug wires. The static starts as you get near the tractor and fades when you walk away... it is (obviously) constant while you're sitting on the tractor operating it. He has not experienced this problem anywhere else on the property... just near the tractor when it's running. He was able to compensate for the static by turning down the volume on the headset and used them the entire time to mow the property so the problem isn't so bad you can't continue to enjoy the radio. He thinks he should be able to resolve the issue by changing out the type of plugs he's using (changing over to resistor plugs). I know nothing about machinery... I'm quoting him from memory. I thought I would post this development for anyone else out there who might be considering these headphones who might be running older equipment. Make sure you're using resistor spark plugs on your machinery or you'll get electric, static interference. Just an FYI.

I’m very pleased with the earmuffs great reception and blocks out noise very well highly recommend this item

Es la segunda vez que compro este producto. Los primeros hace ocho años y aún funcionan, solo que están un poco deteriorados estéticamente . Los uso prácticamente a diario y trabajo en la construcción. Duros como un tanque.

Produit robuste, bonne qualité de réception son et radio, et bonne protection anti-bruit.Je recommande.À voir bien sûr à l'usage et dans le temps. La radio de mes précédents casques d'autres marques à moins de 100 € n'ont pas tenus 1 an.

Actualización (2023): Después de tres años los sigo usando, no se han roto o desgastado, son muy buenos, los volvería a comprar!!!PROS:* Aislan bien el ruido* La calidad del audio es buena* No necesitan baterías* El material es bueno* El cable para conectarlo al dispositivo se puede cambiarCONTRAS:* Quedan muy ajustados, a alguien con la cabeza grande no le servirán* El cable para conectarlos al dispositivo es muy corto, tuve que comprar uno nuevo

This is one of the BEST purchases I've made on amazon. I was actually looking for just a plain noise blocking earmuff and came upon this. I actually bought both and returned the earmuff. So comparing the two, I noticed the sound blocking qualities were the same. However these were definitely more tight, given it is heavier and so it needs more grip on your ears.The Pros:Wearing these on the airplane. I wore these on the plane and watched some movies. The background drone was cut down significantlyWearing these playing video games. Now i can play video games on the computer and my partner can watch TV in the same room. Even not plugged in, i barely hear the TV.Wearing these on the transit and gym. Again, silence.These actually look like normal headphones, Not some hideous neon yellow earmuffs with huge logos on themCons:The speaker level is a bit low. You can compensate by turning the volume up.A bit tight at the beginning. It took some stretching of the headband, but it stretched and now I can wear it for hours.Overall 5 stars. because the Pros greatly out weighted the Cons for my daily use.
