Are any of you using something like this ?
I have always just used my earbuds to keep out harmful noises with the knowledge that it doesn’t really do my ears or hearing much good.
Just riding my lawn mower makes me need hearing protection.
I always seem to do loud things like work with metal or process firewood.
Even when I’m out shooting I constantly have to keep removing my ear plugs to communicate with others and then quickly slap them back in before the next bang and that isn’t always perfectly timed to say the least.
So I went down the hearing protection rabbit hole and got a nice set of Peltos.
They just came in last night so I haven’t fully tested or learned them but they are pretty amazing so far.
I’m digging the technology these have.
They seem to know how to differentiate speech from noise.
I can set them up to act as hearing aids if I want.
They say that you can dial them up all the way while you’re hunting a trail and you can hear every tiny noise but they will eliminate a gun blast.
Mine has Bluetooth for music and audiobooks too (I dig audiobooks when I’m cooking or building something.
The Bluetooth volume is separate from the noise reduction system.
It’s operated from your iPhone or what ever that way you can crank up your noise reduction and dial in your music to your liking.
The one I ended up getting is called the Peltor sport tactical 500 model.
It cost $132 on Amazon with an extra set of gel muff pads.
I think they go for $112 with out the extra pads.
Anyhow I’m new to this but I think I’m going to like these.
Do any of you know any tips or hacks for using something like these?
Thanks.
