3M Foldable Earmuff 90563E, Ear Defender with soft cushions for comfortable fit, Adjustable Headband for multiple head sizes, For noise levels range 94-105 dB, black

We go to a church that has contemporary worship. That means a modern band with guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, amplifiers mixing desk, lighting and very loud. I love this but my sensitive ears can not always cope so these ear defenders have been just the job in taking the edge off the sound. I can still hear the music, but it is no longer uncomfortable. When the music stops the ear defenders come off. Perfect. Do I feel self-conscious, well I did a bit to start with, but in a crowd of hundreds every week, I really do not mind anymore. They do the job, could look a little bit more fashionable, but I am happy with them. They are not designed to block all sound but to reduce sound and that is exactly what I needed.

The compact earmuffs unfurl easily. They snuggly fit over my ears and are comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. I have used them for an hour solid whilst garden shredding. I felt the pressure of wearing them as they are designed to maintain the seal to protect my hearing. The cushioning on the muffs made this a comfortable pressure rather than an intolerable one. The head band also has a cushioned band to protect the head and offer comfort. The noise is reduced but not illuminated. The muffs take the edge off the noise. I can still hear talking but the dull drone of the machine is reduced. I think these muffs offer good protection and are well made. They are worth the asking price of £11.92.

3M being a leading brand name in ear protection and PPE for years and years. The quality of these is easy to see even though they are very basic in their function they are extremely comfortable and will cater to a number of different size heads and fittings. Obviously these are completely passive so you can't adjust the noise attenuation but it does a fantastic job at massively reducing louder volumes far less noticeable levels. If you work in a noisy environments you will have properly specified PPE but if you just occasionally visit a noisy environment these will be ideal for protecting your hearing.

These are in some ways the standard against which other ear-defenders need measuring, given the quality associated with the 3M brand. These are a tight fit as the head-band does not extend, so the fit depends on the cups swinging into position and then being pressed in place by the metal headband. But they work very well indeed for me despite a large hat-size and they certainly give the impression of that 30dB protection claimed. They also fold small easily, again due to the swing-hinge on the cups, making them easy to fit in a site bag/box. Definitely recommended.

I’d call these noise muffleling rather than noise cancelling but they work for what that is going to be used for.They cover the ear completely and the headband stretches to size. My normal sized head fits fine!They’re quite tight but you need them to be fairly tight so they won’t fall off!Very good quality at this price (£13 at time of review) and I’m happy to recommend them. I think this is a good price for these.

My 10 year old son hates loud sounds, he’s been not comfortable with loud noises since baby. He recently started to attend football matches with his grandad and enjoyed them immensely apart from the loud noise. This ear defending headset is perfect for him. It protects his ears from loud noises and he can enjoy watching live football. This set fits him just fine (I tried it on too and it feels me too as it’s adjustable) Godsend for us. Highly recommended

3M is a brand to trust and these earmuffs are no exception. They look good, do the job and are great value for money. Ideal for anyone with sensory issues or for any, and all, ear defending needs. I'm very happy with them.

No complaints here. Great quality product that does exactly what you would expect from a 3M branded product.
