I bought this earmuff to block out my noisy neighbors in their pool. It really does help. The muff doesn't block out the high-pitched screams of the kids but it does muffle it and makes it seem farther away. Helps me to concentrate so I can work and read, even when the neighbors are playing. My ears do get hot, though, when wearing the muff on a hot summer day. But I'd rather have that bit of discomfort as long as I can have a little peace.

I love these things. I got them to wear while operating a new lawn tractor at my wife's request. They silence out not only the vast majority of engine noise, and provide outstanding protection, but will silence people yelling at you whom you'd just as soon ignore. Great product! A very beneficial, yet selfish, convenient item.

I bought one to block out noise while I'm studying. Even though it DID reduce the sound intensity, I could still hear the tv, chats, and so on when I wore this. I guess you're supposed to use it mainly to prevent yourself from going deaf while you're working with loud tools, or to bar very small yet annoying sounds, which can drive you nuts at times.
Moreover, I initially found the earmuff uncomfortable. Too much pressure UNDER my ears, perhaps? I got used to it though after a while. It numbed.
Yeah. I have nothing more to say right now. I'm just trying to convince myself that this earmuff is marvelous so I don't feel so upset whenever I see this earmuff.

I've had hearing loss & tinnitus since the 70's (Army vet). I've tried hard to protect what I've got left & prevent spells of increased tinnitus (ringing in the ears) caused by loud noise exposure. These earmuffs are light, comfortable and REALLY bring down the noise level! You can hear someone talking to you, but just enough to know you need to take off the muffs to carry on a decent conversation ;-}

Original Review: I'd give it zero stars if I could. It's a piece of junk that literally fell apart after just one use.
Later note: My husband was able to put the thing back together, and it works well. I still think it's ridiculous to sell a product that has to be repaired before use, but I can't complain about the noise reduction. I bought it to reduce traffic noise from a busy highway, and it makes a big difference. You do have to be careful to tuck all of your ear into the hollow part of the ear muff, or it hurts.
If I hadn't received a poorly-assembled one, I'd have given it a much higher rating.
