Peltor 90541 WorkTunes AM/FM Hearing Protector with Digital Tuning

Rating: - Good for noise reduction I purchased the Peltor AM/FM Hearing Protector at Amazon primarily for use while riding my lawn tractor. I found it to be very comfortable and superb at reducing the engine's noise. Where it is lacking is in radio reception. I live in an area where strong radio signals are customarily available and the unit does pick up several stations. The problem is that all exhibit poor sound quality and considerable static. I have resorted to using ear phones (ear buds) that run off a small portable radio in my pocket. I wear the Peltor over the ear buds and the sound is perfect. If I were to purchase again, I would buy the model without the radio. Rating: - Sound good and look cool These work great and really block the noise. Plus they make me look like a really cool guy mowing the lawn. Rating: - Don't last I have purchased over 20 pairs of these headphones for my employees. They have a specific defect related to the crimped wires that travel between the headphones (At one point in my life I was a quality manager for a power electronics company). They always fail in the end 3 months to 14months of normal use can be expected. I have spoken with Peltor at length about this defect they give you a run around. Rating: - Does the job I purchased these to use while mowing the yard and doing noisy tasks around the house. I use them mostly with my iPod connected to the auxilliary input jack. This works ok, but the lack of a volume control on the Aux input is a bit of a disappointment. Instead I have to use the volume adjustment on the iPod which is not as convenient. The FM tuner works quite well even in areas where signal is weak. This may be due in part to the large antenna. Which is my only other complaint. The antenna does get in the way when I am mowing under trees and such> But it does seem to be very sturdy. After several encounters with low hanging limbs, it shows no signs of damage.
