3M Peltor Optime I Earmuff H510A; Lightweight Ear Defender with soft cushions, Hearing Protection against noise levels in the range of 87-98 dB (SNR: 27dB), yellow, Pack of 1

Really great quality with superb adjustment ability. You just pull down on the ear muffs and fit comfortably on your ears. They give amazing ear protection and are nice and light weight. I use mine for sleeping as my husband snores. They give amazing noise reduction and are brilliant value for money.

Brought these ear defenders specifically to see Taylor Swift at Wembley, as I previously had a much older pair from the same brand that my Dad gave me. These were exactly what I was looking for, as they reduced the noise from screaming fans to a significantly more tolerable level but I could still hear Taylor perfectly!! These are also very well made for the price, easy to adjust and stayed on without an issue for the whole evening. Would definetely recommend them.

I bought these 3M Peltor Optime I ear defenders for general DIY and shed work where I wanted something reliable without being too heavy or intrusive. They’re good value for money and they really help reduce the chances of hearing damage, you notice a significant difference around noisy tools. You’re getting a well-known brand and solid performance without paying for anything unnecessary. Build quality is very good. They feel durable and well put together, and they’ve held up well so far without any signs of wear or loosening. They don’t feel like something you’ll need to replace quickly. Comfort and bulk are well balanced. They’re lightweight and not overly bulky, which makes them easy to wear for longer periods without getting uncomfortable. The fit is secure and seals well without excessive pressure. Appearance is simple and functional. Nothing flashy, but they look clean and professional, which is exactly what you want for workshop gear. Overall, a high-quality, durable set of ear defenders that offer good protection without being bulky. Great value and easy to recommend.

Used for home power tools / mowing, work well

I'm currently re-wiring/renovating our new house and needed to protect my ears from the noise of drilling and chasing in the hard brick. I started off using my old pair of musician's ear plugs, which worked well enough. These things are clearly much better for the purpose though as the reduction in sound levels is very substantial indeed. Whilst wearing these I have been using a wall chasing machine and SDS drill with electrical box sinking kit (hardly the quietest of products) and my hearing has remained unaffected. I find them comfortable enough to wear, even with dust mask and safety glasses added in, although I have to put the safety glasses on last, or the ear defenders squash my ears against the arms of the glasses. I can't blame the product for this, as this is more likely down to the shape of my bonce rather than any design flaw. Nonetheless, it's worth bearing in mind especially if you're a glasses wearer. I've used these for countless hours now and am still happy with them. I wouldn't normally go for anything yellow, but at least that makes it obvious to the wife that I'm wearing them so she doesn't get too angry when I don't respond to her inane questions...

These work great, I use them whilst operating woodwork machinery. My daughter likes to wear them to firework displays. They effectively reduce noise to comfortable and safe levels. They are comfortable and fit age age 9+ to adult.

My 5 year old couldn't pull on the folding ear defenders by himself leading to frustration. I started buying these and they are amazing for him. He can get them on himself and they do the trick. I also saw a smaller version from this brand marketed for kids but these were too small (suitable for 3 year olds). My son is 5 and these are a great fit.

Good fit and quality, excellent noise attenuation, must have for workshop jobs, when using a lawn mower / brush cutter, adjustable head-rest, but could have been better, coming from a brand like 3M. I would have preferred an all-black colour, however that is only a personal choice.
