Customer Reviews

Only Adequate -- And Overpriced
First, there's nothing -- zero -- "Milwaukee" about these except the external retail repackaging. These are just Mexican-made "Howard Leight Hearing Protection" product.

These are typical sub-$10 units, though they do a decent job of actually blocking sound and are reasonably comfortable for me. The quality is poor, however. The crude headband length adjustment goes from much too tight to much too loose very quickly and the cheap plastic of the earpads quickly starts to degrade and harden after exposure to body oils. The pads are glued to the cups and this glue also begins to lose its grip very soon in prolonged use.

I have hyperacusis and wear hearing protectors for many hours at a time every day. These simply do not hold up. If you only use hearing protectors occasionally and for very brief periods, these may be entirely adequate for your purposes, but they are in no way professional grade units for daily extended use in noisy environments.

Excellent Ear Muffs
I've had these muffs for over a year and use them for every kind of noise environment. Whether a loud table saw, lawn implement, screaming router or other power tool is the reason you need muffs, this pair offers a very high degree of noise reduction. They are light weight, comfortable to wear for an extended time and come with a handy belt loop holder. Your hearing is valuable. This pair of muffs will protect it.

Pretty good esp for the price
I got these earmuffs to replace a pair of Remington shooters earmuffs that I was using for my woodworking. The Remington muffs had broken and I needed a new pair.

Pros:
Pretty lightweight
Cheap
Fairly comfortable
Lightweight


Cons:
The ear peices for safety glasses seem to interfear with the seal on the milwakees
Even without glasses the hearing protection isnt as good
The area for your ears is a bit small. I have very large ears and these earmuffs feel a bit tight.
There is no padding on the headband part

Overall:
I would probably buy these again. For this price they do an excellent job.
