Radio ear defenders

Posted by Craig Downey on August 26, 2012 at 10:39pm
Hi, I am after a little point in the right direction, I am looking to get a set of radion ear defenders, buhave no idea what is a good make. I want them comfortable but also with good radio reception, if they linked up with mobile phone that would be a bonus. And ever better would be two-way communication so we could talk to each other, but the main thing is the fm radio.I know some people don't agree with radio or even music while you work, but with all respect that's not what I am asking.Cheers guys

    thanks Martin, i had found them on ebay, wanted to double check before i purchased them.  Looks like it will be the Husqvarna ones.

    I've found these are by far the best.
    Bought some of ebay but they were rubbish.
    Peltor conform to all legal requirements.

    Hi Craig

    I am on my second set of Peltor and one of the reasons I was attracted to them was the sturdy little battery compartment fastened with a s/steel knurled nut and not just a plastic clip affair that could break.

    Not a deal breaker but as it happens it has proved very useful as the on/off/volume control pot is rubbish. In a short time the pot fails to turn on every time and with the fear that one day it just wont turn on at all I have resorted to removing the battery to turn it off. This has happened to both sets

    Every thing else has been good but its a bit of pain with the on/off pot so I wont be buying again and for this reason could not recommend  the Peltor brand.

    Are they were turning off FM in 2015?

    Are there any radio ear defenders that pick up DAB? Sadly some of the best stations (Well Radio 4x anyway) can only be heard on digital.

    Anyone looking for a cheap portable DAB/FM, I got this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007YXMKFY/ref=oh_details_o01_s0...

    last week and it seems ok for £22, although unlike my previous portable you have to remove batteries to recharge. Works off mains too.
