Howard Leight by Honeywell Hygiene Kit for Leightning L1/L1H/L1N/L0N/L1HHV and Viking V1 Earmuffs (1011998), Black

I used these while shooting at a public range. Very comfortable: It was easy to forget I had them on. I had to be reminded to take them off a few times. Quick to put on and quick to take off: Muff style hearing protection, which is much safer than earplugs because you can put them on and take them off in a second. By comparison, to put in one earplug you have to roll it, insert into your ear, and hold it in place until it expands. Each step takes a few seconds, doesn't work well for all ear sizes, and is error prone, which leads to a false sense of security. It's also possible to forget to put on your hearing protection and expose yourself to noise levels that can cause permanent Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). With muffs, you can quickly correct your mistake before additional damage is done. Easily visible by others: At the public range I use, everyone present has to agree that the range is hot before it's time to shoot and cold when it's time to adjust and replace targets. If you use muffs, the people you're shooting with can easily see if your hearing protection is on as extra confirmation that you're ready start or stop shooting. Excellent NRR of 30: These earmuffs provided enough protection to shoot the following ammunition comfortably while still allowing me to communicate with the people around me. (I realize that the quantity of powder in each round is the relevant figure here, but I don't have that available at the moment.) * 12 gauge shotgun shells (2 3/4" - 2 3/4 dram equivalent - 1 1/8 0z. - # 7 1/2 shot) * 20 gauge shotgun shells * .45 ACP * .22 LR rimfire * .223 & 5.56mm NATO (.308 rounds were just loud enough to be slightly uncomfortable.)

I am loving these earmuffs! They are light weight and very comfortable. Wore them for 6 hours the first day and 10 hours the next while building a fence. I like wearing floppy hats with a full brim to keep the sun out of my face. This is my only behind-the-neck style of hearing protection and it works great with hats. I also like that they don't squeeze my head as tight as my 3M X2A's or my Walkers (I'm not at all a fan of the Walkers, too tight and the pads are uncomfortable). These LN1's are almost as comfortable as my old Howard Leight Leightning L3s with the headband. If you want excellent comfort and good hearing protection, I would pick Howard Leight hearing protection over any others. For me, they do a fine job of muffling sounds from power tools and they are my go-to choice for working around the house. For maximum hearing protection, I prefer the 3M Peltor series. My 3M X2As are not rated as high as these L1n's, but they seal around my ears better and create a noticeably quieter environment. The 3M's are nice, but they will not be used as often because they are only comfortable for the first 1-2 hours of wear.

If you're looking at these you already know that the options for behind the neck earmuffs are limited. The biggest advantage I'm aware of is that behind the neck earmuffs can be worn with a full brim hat. These work fine for that purpose, if a little tight on my giant head. They lost one star for durability. The first pair got ripped off my head while bushhogging under some low branches. One of the wires came out of the ear cup, and when I tried to push it back in it snapped where the wire is crimped. If you're ever in the same boat use some pliers and push the wire back in from in front of the crimp. Where these shine as far as I'm concerned is as headphones when I'm using power equipment. I thought I'd have to modify them, or the headphones, but both pairs of on-ear donor headphones I tried worked easily- the only modification being snapping the headphone earpieces off of the headband. This is super easy with the highly regarded (and cheap) JVC "Flats" on-ear headphones. In fact, mine were pre-snapped on one side where the earpiece swivels, which prompted this experiment... Simply slip the headphone earpieces into the earmuff cups at a angle, and once they're in and straightened the foam in the cups holds them perfectly in place. The wires run out the ear cup cushion. I used some spiral wire keeper wrap to make the headphone wires on each side run to the middle of the back of the earmuffs. Now I can comfortably listen to music or an audio book while I mow.

Super liegt angenehm am kopf an geräusche werden super gedämmt

Genial producto, lo uso para trabajar en una seccionadora de tablero en un ambiente industrial con mucho ruido y aíslan fenomenalmente. Cabe la oreja entera dentro sin hacer daño ni tocar con la esponja, deja un margen para transpirar. Almohadillas de piel y cómodas. Llevo gafas puestas y no molestan con las patillas. Buena compra muy recomendable, después de los peltor son los mejores que tuve. Sobre todo por la diadema, que también lleva un pequeño almohadillado y las costuras redondeando la propia diadema lo que facilita quitarlos un momento al cuello sin que te deje marca, ni te haga daño.

Excellent quality. Ideal sounding blocking headphones for a classroom. Purchased for a 10 year old strong academic achiever. Not embarrassing, other classmates express interest in using. Compact for school desks.

Bought for using with a new chainsaw as my old work around the neck jobbies were getting a bit tatty, Amazing difference in noise cancelletion against my old pair and more comfortable to boot. Bought another set for work and a few of my workmates have picked up a pair after trying them - suprisingly good for the price

Excelente producto, rapidez en el envío y todo perfecto.
