Would these be effective (and safe) when mowing ? Would these be effective (and safe) when mowing ? (or using other noisy powered tools)Thanks,aPriceAlert.com

I used these while driving a very noisy vehicle. They took out the motor noise and road rumble, but left me the frequencies above 1.5 kHz, so I could still hear sirens, horns, and even the person talking next to me. I would think they'd be safe for power tool use as well.

If you r real sweaty, they might move around a bit. I use mine when mowing on riding or with push mower. I do like the way they block (not totally) sound from engine. I can't wear the in-the-ear phones do to piercing.

I use mine while riding my motorcycle. They do an excellent job of muffling the wind noise which is substantial (I ride a Honda, not a Harley). I think they will work well for what you are asking of them, just be careful about not turning the music up too loud, it is easy to do in a noisy environment. I suggest adjusting the volume to an uncomfortable level first, then back off to a comfortable level, then turn on the machinery.

Yes, I use for Mowing on my "zero turn" mower. Work very well. Plug size- same size plug as on my Iphone, I listen to music on my phone as I mow. I have been very inpressed with "ear muffs", work very well for noise reduction or you can turn volumn up if you need to hear something. With volumn turned up, they still stop loud noises as a gunshot would be.

The noise you speak of was background noise including wind or even leaves. The real problem for me.was not verifying they shut off when a loud noise such as a gun goes off and of course they do not. If you wear glasses you can forget it. I purchased a Peltor ear muff type with a wire around the back for those who wear hats and I like them.

Mine work perfectly rain, snow, sleet. You should have enhanced hearing and gunshots should be muffled. Have you ever used regular ones or is this the first time you have used a product like this? If so, have someone else try them. If still to loud and sharp, something may be defective.

I have some audio technica noise cancelling headphones that are better at blocking out noise, even without the active noise canceling turned on. My head isn't XL size, so I cant answer the size question, but I will say that they are pretty heavy, and I find them sliding off my head sometimes. You probably don't want that while driving a tractor.

These may not keep out the lawn mower noise as these are not designed for noise cancelling. If you are going to use them outdoors you may avoid these as any moisture from weather or sweat will damage the wires pretty fast.

Yes, they could be used while mowing, but they do not muffle outside noise.The headphones are absoutely great though...music never sounded so great.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.

If they fit you well, they may help. They do not fit my ear canals well, so I notice minimal noise reduction. My husband uses them on the tractor and says they work well for him.

Bass frequencies are probably it's weakest point, but- let me say- these are MORE than adequate for any mowing or equipment work. They cancel out the head killing sonic vibration of slightly out of balance blades, and I personally use them on my extremely loud Husqvarna zero turn mower all the time. They destroy noise fatigue, and I can't recommend them enough.

I would think so. They are the most comfortable and quality functioning I have used by far. I have only used them on a range with my students but we can always talk and communicate comfortably. I have used them while mowing with the head phone jack and they were great as well. They can actually amplify normal volume levels while keeping out the harmful ones. I couldn't be happier with them. Two people have seen and used them and went and bought their own for the trap range now.

They would be the easiest tool you could use for trimming grass in my opinion. There is even a little set of wheels they roll on so you don't have to hold them up off the ground. You won't be disappointed.

I use them for range shooting and power tool use. They work well for those. I don't know how close you intend to be to the fireworks or how sensitive the wearer is to noise, but I can imagine they would do a fairly decent job muffling the sound.

I don't believe there is any claim made. These are not "foolproof", and their effectiveness would be governed by correct or incorrect usage. These are primarily for sleeping - snoring of a partner, traffic, and the like, and are excellent for that use. I would not use them for gunfire, jet engines, or loud machinery. I use electronic muffs for these sounds.

I personally would say they are OK for light physical activity. I work out with them sometimes, but nothing heavy really. I believe they said they are water resistant in the description, and I have gotten them slightly wet. They were fine. I don't know about yard work, again and again. I keep mine fairly well protected all the time, my impression is that they wouldn't stand up to much impact. I really like them though and have been happy with the sound quality.
