I've been using harbor freight cheapos. Looking for something with better noise blocking power. Also kinda interested in a Bluetooth so I can listen to music. What does everybody else use?
Best over ear ear protection.

Isotunes Pro headphones. They are wireless and Bluetooth. 27 NRR and OSHA compliant. I get 10hrs plus on the battery life. I’m in Florida so I sweat like crazy during the summer; these hold up the the sweat very well and not as hot as over the ear ear muffs

The best setup is using the Bose Noise cancelling earphones coupled with 3M Classic Superfit 33 earplugs.
It will compensate for both high and low frequencies, while offering some of your favorite music. When I mow with my SCAG it's virtually noiseless.
When I use my cabbed Kubota B2650 , that has an irritating hydro whine to it, the plugs really help. Together, the engine is muffled as well. It offers the best of both worlds imho.
I also wear glasses and the best type of found so far that works well with my muffs are "TitanFlex." Thin and lightweight it doesn't allow any sound infiltration and you can wear them for hours comfortably.

Id recommend 3m. They seem to be the standard. Most 3m headphones are super quiet.Im talking about yhe speakers inside them. After many years and about 6 different Pairs of different 3m models. Id reccomend this pair over any others.https://www.amazon.com/3M-WorkTunes-Protector-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0723CYHPZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=51488433090&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuZDtBRDvARIsAPXFx3BmTPloP16E2-pWKXOB3t1ZMCg2QLOeaE-IZSl6N96OBDYRJd1SsOMaAkK-EALw_wcB&hvadid=274671964737&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9015118&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6354717216881284576&hvtargid=aud-648454669636:kwd-310888345864&hydadcr=3706_9647561&keywords=3m+bluetooth+headphones&qid=1571053538&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVDhZNERUOERJRjhFJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjI0NDc1MUJXQUlUOTNEVVozUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzY1NjUwMlQyS01ZMzg0QkdYSCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
$50at Walmart. Also you find they have better protection then other over yhe ear hearing protection.
Back when I was working in factories they taught us that. Over the ear headphones were actually designed to be used in addition to the foam plugs. Without the foam plugs sound waves just bounce around inside the earmuffs. So even if things sound more quiet with only the earmuffs. Damage is still being done. But due to the design of most speaker having headphones. The hearing ptotecrion ones. They are actually better protection then plain old ear muffs.

$177 on amazon. I go the wired ones last year from best buy during xmas. I paid $180. Your hearing is worth it!
I used to work for commercial printers and those machines tore up my ears after years of exposure. Now I have permanent high frequency hearing loss and aggravated tinnitus.

The Bose devices all offer ZERO NRR. They are NOT designed to protect your hearing whatsoever, and will not meet any OSHA requirements for PPE.
Noise cancellation is NOT the same as NRR attenuation. Noise cancellation is better than nothing, because it allows you to turn down your music volume rather than turning up the volume to overcome the background noise causing even more hearing damage, but noise cancellation itself is not protective to your hearing.
