User questions & answers

Question:	Will these work with a safari brum hard hat
Answer:	The can has a very heavy thick band of synthetic material sealing the can (not shown in the picture). I tried prying it off, cutting it off, sawing it off. I gave up. I was going to injure myself in the process. I bought Dry Lock at Home Depot and this unopened paint is in my garage. Ridiculous packaging. Grrrrr
Question:	These are listed as Active Noise Reduction, how is that possible without batteries
Answer:	It is a Latex (water based) product therefore, if the wall is very wet the product will simply wash off before drying. I would recommend correcting the severe water impingement prior to coating the walls. Once dry this is an excellent product and covers very well.
Question:	Will these cancel any music from really noisy neighbors? like neighbors having a party
Answer:	It stops small leaks and seepage in basement walls extremely well. I don't know how it would react on a swimming pool. Wish I could have been more help to you. Good Luck
Question:	It says the dimensions are 8x8x8. Can it really be true that they are 8" deep front to back? Aren't they 8x6x
Answer:	Covers 75 to 125 sq. ft per gallon depending on surface porosity.

User questions & answers

Question:	Using these in a machine shop setting, can you still converse with shop mates as needed
Answer:	Not unless it is far away. It blocks enough noise so that your hearing isn't damaged if you use power tools, etc., but you can still hear what people are saying when you have them on. If the idea is to wear them when sleeping to block out noise, it might mostly do that but would be really uncomfortable. If that's the objective, I'd get a noise machine or a loud fan.
Question:	Are these made in the USA
Answer:	Short answer is yes. It will block out 20 dB of the sound. 80 dB is about as loud as an average vacuum cleaner. Take off 28 dB and you would still hear the equivalent of loud speech. Hope this helps.
Question:	Is the wire on earmuffs stainless steel
Answer:	Good question, i use them in my workshop all the time. It is important to hear how a saw or router is running while you are using it, with these i can still hear them running but they dampen the harsh piercing volume and pitch. Hope this helps.
Question:	Replacement inserts for the earmuffs 3m 90 565 4dc -ps
Answer:	Dear friend, this product can be used various occasions. Such as Industry - Construction Work - Steel - Hardware - Manufacturing - Shooting - Hunting - Indoor Gun Range - Racing - Oil Drilling and more. So it be suitable for chainsaw use and reduce the noise quite a bit.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these good for an 8 yr old to wear to a monster truck show
Answer:	These seem to be mislabeled on Amazon. They are not active noise reduction, these would be passive noise reduction. Thank you for considering 3M products.
Question:	is there a set of mounts i can buy to mount to a helmet that does not have mounts
Answer:	These will attenuate noise up to 110db. The level of attenuation varies across the frequency spectrum. These are not noise cancelling head phones. I wear these standing next to a noisy 10hp chipper/shredder which I can still hear the engine whilst running. In your situation depending on distance from the source of music/volume level/physical barriers between you and the source/your own hearing capacity will all determine if these earmuffs will attenuate the noise to an acceptable level for you. I have seen our Australian Military using this model whilst operating artillery guns so rest assured that these earmuffs do block out a lot of noise! Perhaps an anonymous phone call to the relevant law & order folk asking to pay a visit to your inconsiderate neighbours may just persuade them to use headphones instead. Good luck
Question:	I have a noise phobia and need to block people eating, clearing their throat and coughing. Please help
Answer:	They are not 8" deep Front to back. More like 4 is correct. But I have a huge head and they fit well on my head.
Question:	Are these good for college students? I mean I'm now living in the dorm with very thin wall, and I've got a neighbor next door who love parties
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. On previously coated masonry, you should have all peeling and scaling paint removed by a mechanical grinder, high pressure washer equipment or sandblasting. Surface must then be cleaned. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before painting. The surface must be dull, clean and dry before application. We hope this answers your question. If we can assist further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The X-Series earmuffs are 3M’s latest advancement in hearing conservation. New technologies in comfort, design and protection all come together in this groundbreaking earmuff line. The X3A earmuffs offer a NRR (28 dB) which makes them ideal for moderate to high noise situations. The X3A features a newly designed spacer to help improve attenuation without the need for a much larger cup or double cup design. This lightweight earmuff is designed for protection against high H-level industrial noise and other loud sounds. It features an electrically insulated wire headband, often referred to as “dielectric”. When correctly selected and worn, these products help reduce exposure to hazardous levels of noise. 3M PELTOR HYX3 Hygiene Kit offer replaceable ear cushions and foam liners to help keep your earmuffs clean and extend the service life. The 3M PELTOR X Series earmuffs are ideal for protection against noise arising from a wide range of applications in the workplace. Examples of typical applications include: metal processing, automotive, airports, construction, textile manufacturing, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, cement manufacturing, printing, woodworking, heavy engineering, foundry, steelworks, and mining and quarrying. Also available in hard hat attachment model: 3M PELTOR XSeries CapMount Ear Muffs X3P3E. NOTE: The X-Series (over-the-head) headband version is electrically insulated -sometimes referred to as “dielectric”. The metal components of the headband have been covered by non-conductive material for use in a low voltage electrical hazard (less than 440 V ac). As there are no applicable standards for testing ear muffs against electrical insulating properties, the product has been evaluated at an external laboratory against a modified test method based on EN397: 1995. During assessment, the leakage current did not exceed 1. 2mA when the external surface of the product made contact with an electrical source. The user must determine the overall suitability of this product for the intended application taking into account all relevant hazards.

For help with product selection and use, consult your on-site safety professional, industrial hygienist, or other subject matter expert. *3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing protectors.

If the NRR is used, 3M recommends that it be reduced by 50% or in accordance with applicable regulations. 3M PSD products are for occupational use only.

User questions & answers

Question:	i have seen different sound cancellation levels for these earmuffs and wonder which one would be best - primarily for woodworking (large table saw etc
Answer:	I would think that you would want one that supports up to 22db or higher.
Question:	Will these work for a 7 year old at a fireworks display. My child can't tolerate the noise
Answer:	Voices can still be heard wearing these. Research the decibel levels of fireworks, voice, and the level these block out. The child could wear foam earplugs inside the ear in addition to these to block out more noise. Wearing for long periods of time on a warm day makes sweat pool somewhat. They do have some weight to them. I would guess that if the 7 year old is very sensitive to sound, he or she would not like wearing them for more than a few minutes because of the slight weight, potential sweat factor, and having to wear ear plugs in the ear too.
Question:	Can pads and foam inserts be washed and reused? Instructions say wash outside only, and re-purchase new pads and foam inserts ($11.72) twice per year
Answer:	You can certainly wash the dampers/foam padding. Just use soap and water on the ear seals/ cushions. I've washed my foam padding many times. Just don't submerge the ear seals/cushions.
Question:	Would these work for a drummer
Answer:	They might work a little too well. I use mine in my shop and although they do not totally block out the noise from my machines, in my opinion they would block too much for a musician. Unless you are planted in front of an amp-stack you may not hear enough of your group to play well. On the other hand, if you are in a room alone practicing for hours on end, they might be just the ticket to save your ears.

Insert the hard hat slot adapters into the slots on each side of the hard hat until they click into place.

Figure 2

When in use, the attachment arms must be pushed inward until you hear a click on both sides, indicating a shift from “stand-by” to “usage” position. Position the ear cups over your ears so that the cushions fully enclose the ears and seal tightly against the head. Adjust the position of each ear cup while holding the helmet in place until you have a tight and comfortable fit that exerts even pressure around the ears.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these Water resistant
Answer:	Hello - Thank you for asking. These are weather resistant. If you have any additional questions please feel free to connect with us directly at 1-800-494-3552 M-F 8am-5pm CT. Thank you!
Question:	Are these good for the gun range
Answer:	Other than they are bulky and would interfere with shooting rifles, I don't see why not. You should check the decibel reduction to see if it's sufficient for gun fire.
Question:	is the gel pad worth the extra $30 over the other bluetooth version
Answer:	After buying the gel pad version, I picked up a used 3M headphone at Savers for $7.99 (!!!). This one had regular earpads, and was already charged when I took it home. One drawback of the gel version is the weight! They weigh 398 gms versus 346 gms of the one with regular pads. In comparison, my MPOW Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones weigh 266 gms. The gel pads are taller and roomier so there is more room for your ears. With the regular pad version, part of my ear touches the inside of the earmuff, but nothing major. I can confirm the gel pad version does seem to be 1 dB less NRR than the regular pads. For me, I returned the gel pad version and got a refund for $64, and will just get by with the Savers one for now (Ha Ha). If I were to buy a new one, I'd get the regular pad version.
Question:	could these be used/worn in a c1d1 facility
Answer:	C1D1 is explosion proof. I have customers who wear similar style ear muffs in their C1D1 labs without any issues.

User questions & answers

Question:	How effective are these on a gun range, specifically for trap shooting
Answer:	Competition trap shooter here. This is actually a preference. These will work very good and I would recommend them. I generally prefer the in ear plugs. Try these: http://www.amazon.com/Surefire-Defenders-Filtered-Earplugs-Medium/dp/B009T9QXXQ/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_rp_a1_3_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=0R62G96H6W0FQMJAYHXMI use these for all my shoots and I've tried many different ones and these are the best in my opinion. Good luck.
Question:	Would these block out someone talking
Answer:	Depends on how loud the person is. They are pretty good with blocking sound. I have to yell for my son to hear me if he's wearing them. Normal talk is pretty hard to hear.
Question:	snoring
Answer:	Everyone who snores should consider whether they could have obstructive sleep apnea. It's easily treatable, but dangerous to ignore. Have you listened to their breathing even they've been asleep for a few hours? If you hear several seconds of silence in the snoring, they need an evaluation.
Question:	I want to get this for use in the office. I hear everything from birds, keyboarding to footsteps. Earplugs are a pain. Would you recommend a pair
Answer:	Nope - They are designed to cut out noise at higher levels. Solid earplugs are best to cut out noise from birds, footsteps, keyboards (even loud breathing). With these earmuffs you will likely still hear these "quiet sounds". Now if you are around leaf blowers, lawn tractors, heavy machinery, .50 caliber guns, or the like you will be happy with the comfort level that these muffs provide!
