Howard Leight By Honeywell Over-the-Head Electronic Ear Muffs, 25 dB Noise Reduction Rating NRR, Dielectric No, Black

Communication headsets and earpieces combine hearing protection with the ability to connect to a radio network for hands-free communication between compatible devices. They also prevent those nearby from overhearing incoming communications to maintain privacy and avoid distraction. Listen-only devices allow the user to receive voice and audio messages while two-way devices allow the user to give and receive messages. These headsets and earpieces are ideal for maintaining communication between different areas of a workplace and coordinating teamwork at construction sites, emergency scenes, refineries, airports, and other loud settings.

Listen-only headsets connect to an external radio, walkie-talkie, or personal audio device to give users the ability to receive messages or listen to music or other audio. When used with a walkie-talkie, they also allow users to transmit messages. They have ear muffs that fit over the ears to insulate against outside noise and a cord for plugging into a compatible device. Compared to ear plugs, ear muffs provide a longer life and a more consistent fit for reaching their optimal noise reduction rating (NRR). They're also more visible than ear plugs for confirming that workers are complying with hearing safety rules.
