Is there any reason why these pneumatic same ears can't be used for woodwork? Seems like all the reviewers do body work. The electric version cost $$$

I have a Dynabrade used for woodwork for years and now use the Mirka for wood and metal work with no issues. the Mirka is quieter and fits in the hand better than the Dyna.

I have used these sanders for a several years & use them for everything from finish sanding of metal and/or wood. All I can say is "they work great & for the $ they simply can't be beat". If one ever goes down I'll replace it with one just like it.

No they can be used for woodworking I use this sander in my cabinet shop daily and it does a great job

Sure can! I use mine for wood work. The only thing to think about is water getting through your air hose and dripping on your wood. Most times it doesn't matter.

They are overkill for lawn mowing, but since they are not expensive it doesn't matter. The only thing you want to consider is they do get hot if you mow in hot climate. For only lawn mowing I would use an ear plug instead. These are more for heavy duty use like shooting, where a high dBa noise reduction is needed & the entire ear needs covering (to prevent pressure transmission through ear bones).

I had the same problem. I telephoned TV Ears and they said that the battery was probably dead. The battery for the older TV Ears is no longer available at any retail store. They could send a new one for approx $65. Instead I ordered a new set of ears (I think it is a 5) for approx $90.

Howdy again, try this 1 as well?? http://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/accessories/148331.html; hopefully this is helpful...

I'd say don't waste your money. These don't fit well and therefore won't block noise well. You would be better off buying silicone accordion style earplugs like those used in industrial/factory settings. As least you can get those to fit tightly in the ear canal and are easy to remove.

Ah, I see. Thank you. I did buy the e2cs, and unfortunately I cannot get any of the pads to fit my ears, so any idea what prices run on the ear molds and where I can get them??Thanks!

I use these for a snoring s/o, but most of the people I see on riding lawnmowers use the headphone style ones. These would probably do just fine, but you may be better off with a non-disposable pair that also does music or some other feature. After all, these generate a lot of waste (you have both the plastic bag and the ear plug to throw away) and they will cost you more in the long run than a pair of headphone style hearing protection. But the headphones are heavier and hotter. Just something to think about.

You might find it a bit noisy to be right at your workspace. It is powerful, but it's primary design is to catch woodworking dust. Not sure what you are planning to build, but for soldering fumes and the like, this might not be the best solution.

10 forget it. Try before you buy. See if a friend has a pair you can try of which ever brand, to find something that is not this. Chainsaw comes to mind. Shocking. There hAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE ON THE MARKET. Regards.

Yeah, I bought the plans from this guy I found on the web. http://woodgears.ca/pantorouter/plans/index.html (I don't remember the price - but it's ALOT of information he gleaned from trial and error.) I guess I'm not the only guy who thinks machinery is way over priced... He and the guys on this site have all kinds of cool ideas for various woodworking tools- and in my opinion his plans are well worth every penny. Was tempted to "tip" him some more.

Are you kidding me? Everyone I've talked to says the earbuds are horrible. For 300 hundred dollars you think they could include the ac power adapter and some in ear buds. Its not much to ask. These things hurt your ears and are only comfortable if you only use them maybe an hour a day. Past that, severe pain.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

I'm afraid there seems to be no simple answer. I read all the warnings about large ones and got standard: they were way too small. Maybe my ears are bit big (I'm an adult man) or maybe standard is really small (as they used to label it). I suppose one unsatisfying answer is that they're cheap for what you get: try one of each and give away (after cleaning) the one that doesn't fit.

I personally hate the isolation of standard in-ears, so because you can still hear those around you and don't get the "isolation" feeling that standard in ears provide, they would in theory be great for this...Unfortunately the sound they provide is all treble. There is almost no bass response, so most instruments will sound thin and tinny. No serious musician will want to hear his or herself sounding like that. The concept is amazing and they are incredibly light weight and comfortable, but the price is far too high for the sound quality. If they ever improve the frequency response, they will be a fantastic product.
