View Full Version : Question on Ear Muffs
Where should I buy ear muffs that have a radio built into them and protect your ears from all the noise? I have noticed that my hearing is becoming slightly worst than it was before I started doing this business.

Does anyone know if there is any out there that allow you to plug in a ipod, but act as a earmuff like you guys are talking. Or if not are the radios on them digital or analog as far as setting the settings. I am looking at getting some instead of just using my ipod earbuds. Thanks

I have the Stihl radio headphones. I like them, but wish they had the digital tuner. I believe I paid around $70 about a year ago. Husqvarna makes the digital version, but from what I hear they are very salty!

Post Mowing, can you post a link to where you can get the ones you got if they do have the ipod connection? Thanks!, If you do not have the radio or anything on, are they pretty sound? Thanks

Salty= $$$ ??
Must be cause everyone else on here has had good things to say about them (except the high prices)

The ones I got also have a plug in for your ipod.

you see ear muffs only block out certain amount of the sound for example a 25 dp rating means that 25 dp is reduced for a machine that has 75 dp making the sound that comes in your ear 50 dp. If you have a radio or ipod the sound would be greater and might damage your hearing be safe not sorry.:)
