## Description

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 X1A is a lightweight, low-profile earmuff designed for protection against low-level industrial noise and other loud sounds. It features an electrically insulated wire headband, often referred to as “dielectric”. - The wire headband offers consistent pressure over prolonged wearing periods - Earcup pivot points tilt for optimum comfort and efficiency - Replaceable ear cushions and foam liners (hygiene kit HYX1) - Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)b 22 dB. CSA Class A 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 any hazards other than noise for which this product is tested. *The NRR may overestimate the hearing protection provided during typical use. 3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% for estimating the amount of noise reduction provided. Hearing Protection Solutions Made Innovatively Easy.

Review: Comfortable, Fantastic Seal, Unbeatable Price - These are my first set of earmuffs so I really have nothing else to compare to, except a pair of Bose QC25 active noise canceling headphones (which I'm now returning because these earmuffs are so good!). That said, these earmuffs are fantastic. Absolutely unbelievable sound isolation for the asking price, which was just under $12 at time of purchase. The earpads, and pretty much everything else about the muffs, is built like a tank and definitely feels like it's built to last. That is not to say they are not comfortable, because they are! The ear pads provide a smooth seal around your ear, so long as you have medium to small ears. It is possible that they might overlap with ears on larger heads. The adjustable band makes it easy to find a great fit, too, though I must also point out this is probably designed for smaller heads, as I have to use them fully extended for my most comfortable fit and I have a medium-large size head. In terms of noise isolation, these beat the Bose QC 25, which were $300 headphones, for a fraction of the price. I guess the moral of the story is if you want noise isolation, get earmuffs and not headphones! And if you still need music in your life, just pop some in ear buds underneath. I use a pair of in ear buds under these muffs and the noise isolation improved even more. I could stick my head right next to a window air conditioner on full blast and I couldn't even hear a whisper - even with no music playing! These also look great and I feel no shame or embarrassment wearing them out in public with earbuds underneath. I think they blend right in, especially these days when pretty much half the people on the streets are walking around with their enormous over ear headphones. Fantastic product. Will order more in the future, almost definitely!
Review: Great for drum practice - We have a couple drummers in our family. These earmuffs work great for a drumming student when practicing. They fit over the ear and seal around the ear without pressing on the ear, so they are quite comfortable. They block out enough of the acoustic drum kit to play without damaging your ears and it is still possible to speak with the person next to you. I have also tried them with my Etymotic Research ER7-MC3-BLACK-I-A MC3 Noise Isolating In-Ear Headset and Earphones for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch - Black earphones underneath them. I use the Etymotics almost every day and I love them, but I don't like the way they feel under these earmuffs. I know some drummers play this way, but it didn't work for me. I do not like them for playing along to music. (That is what I was trying to solve it the Etymotics under them.) If I play music through my stereo, then I really need to crank it up to play along. If the volume is too low, I can't hear it well enough to stay in sync with the song. I use Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones. when I want to play along to music. They to not fit over the ear like these and they put a bit of pressure on the ear when wearing them. When I turn from side to side, the seal opens up a bit and I can hear the volume of the drums get much louder in that ear. They are adjustable and they fit our 8 year old as well as my wife and I. For the price, you can't go wrong with these earmuffs. They are great for practicing on an acoustic drum kit. I can't comment on how they work for outdoor equipment as ours re used only for drumming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for extreme wind protection.
*by P***R on March 11, 2025*

I did not buy these muffs for noise-reduction. I have a sports car that creates a lot of turbulence on the freeway. They work great for protecting my eardrums from the buffeting, and also keep my baseball cap from flying off. I actually removed the foam from the inside. I can hear car horns and sirens. The low profile of the muffs is great in this application. The muffs are well-made and seem durable. If you are looking for MAXIMUM noise reduction for working with very loud tools or firearms, these are not for you.
