10 Best Ear Protection Radios
for September 2023

The ProTear Digital Radio Earmuffs combine great sound quality and Bluetooth technology in a pair of earmuffs that really are comfortable to wear. The earmuffs are a good fit, and their simple, intuitive controls work well. And construction of the earmuffs is solid. The earmuffs come with an FM transmitter and an adapter for connecting a Bluetooth device, but almost no other accessories are included. Also, the fact that the earmuffs come with no carrying case is a bit of a disappointment. Although they're relatively expensive for a pair of earmuffs, the ProTear Digital Radio Earmuffs deliver excellent sound quality and come with an FM transmitter and Bluetooth adapter, making them a good buy.

These FM MP3 Bluetooth Radio Headphones are well-designed and have all the features you need to listen to music on your radio or a podcast, listen to some music from your phone, or even make phone calls. The headphones are very comfortable to wear, and the adjustable headband and padded ear cups provide good comfort. The sound quality is good, and the volume is loud enough so you can listen to music outdoors without worrying about it being too loud. The headphones are also IPX4 waterproof, so you can use them in the rain, and the ear cups are padded, and the sound is muffled, so you won't hear everything around you. The headphones include 4GB of memory, so you can store up to 4000 songs on the 4GB storage card, and you can also store up to 50 radio stations on the 4GB storage card. The headphones also include a 3-5 hour battery, and the headphones charge in 3 hours. The speakers on the headphones are fairly good, but they won't match the sound from a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones. The headphones are Bluetooth, so you don't need a wire to connect your phone to the headphones. The headphones include a standard stereo cable, so you can connect an MP3 player to the headphones. The headphones also include a standard 3.5mm audio cable, so you can connect the headphones to a computer.

The Smoostart AM/FM Radio Hearing Protector is a very useful hearing protector for mowing, snowblowing, construction, and other noisy environments. The earmuffs feature 30 decibels of noise reduction, so they're effective for shielding loud noises. The earmuffs also have 4 different sound channels, so you can adjust the volume to your preferences. The earmuffs also have a digital screen that displays the time and channel, and there's also an auxiliary input jack for connecting additional devices (such as an MP3 player). The earmuffs come with a USB charging cable, so you can power them using a computer. Unfortunately, the Smoostart AM/FM Radio Hearing Protector lacks a headphone jack, so you can't listen to music while you work. We also wish that the earmuffs came with a carrying case, but the earmuffs weigh 4.2 ounces and are small enough to comfortably wear while mowing or working outside.

The PROTEAR Bluetooth Radio Headphones certainly aren't our favorite headphones, but they're the best Bluetooth headphones for mowing lawns or working on construction sites. They're comfortable enough to wear for a few hours, and while the sound quality isn't as good as some models we tested, it's good enough to listen to radio or music. The controls are on the left side, and the audio controls are on the right side. The headphone cord is removable, and there's a pocket inside that stores the included USB cable. The PROTEAR is lightweight, which is nice on a hot day, and the battery lasts for about 4 hours. The headphones are comfortable to wear, and because they're designed to sit over your ears, they don't leak sound. The PROTEAR Bluetooth Radio Headphones are lightweight, comfortable, and easy-to-use, and they offer good sound quality. They're also reasonably inexpensive.

These ear muffs are the best we've seen when it comes to comfort and sound quality; they block out virtually all noise, including wind noise and engine noise, and they're comfortable to wear for even long listening sessions. They sound great, with crisp, clear sound. They'll also stream music from your phone, and with 8 preset FM stations and a digital memory function, they'll store even more of your favorite stations. They're also easy to use, with a multifunctional button to answer calls, change the volume, and pause/play music. The Bluetooth and radio frequency noise reduction functions work great, and we found that they were more responsive to our voice commands than similar models. The ear muffs are wireless, and the batteries last about 30 hours. The ear cups are a bit small, so they're a little uncomfortable for larger heads, but most people should have no issues.

The 3M WorkTunes Digital AM/FM/MP3 Radio Headphones are lightweight, comfortable, and portable, but they've got one big downside: their sound is improved significantly if you plug the headphone cable into your computer. These WorkTunes headphones are more like a Bluetooth headset than an MP3 player, and 3M's software lets you connect to a computer, tablet, or smartphone and play audio files straight from your library. The sound quality is a bit better than what you'd get from a pair of earbuds or headphones, but not as good as what you'd get from a good set of earbuds or headphones. (The best earbuds and headphones have top-notch audio quality, and 3M's earbuds and headphones don't quite match those, though they do sound good enough.) The WorkTunes headphones also lack noise canceling or active noise cancellation, so they're not ideal for loud environments. The WorkTunes headphones have 3M's HearThrough technology, which lets sound (such as a radio station) play through your ears, but blocks outside noise from reaching your ears. The WorkTunes headphones also have Voice Assist, which lets you learn which radio station you're on without having to remove WorkTunes from your ears. The WorkTunes headphones also have 3M's Sound Guard technology, which blocks out sound above 80 dB. The WorkTunes headphones are comfortable to wear, and noise-canceling earbuds and headphones tend to be uncomfortable. The WorkTunes headphones are portable, but you won't be able to carry them in your pocket. The WorkTunes headphones come with a three-year warranty.

The preset function allows you to store up to 8 radio stations in memory, so you can keep your favorite stations within easy reach.

The headphone's NRR rating of 25dB makes it an excellent option for gardeners, landscapers, and anyone who works outside. The earmuffs have padded ear pieces and an adjustable headband, so they're comfortable to wear. The FM Radio Headphone with Digital Display is lightweight and compact, so it's easy to take with you when you're working outdoors. The headphone comes with 2 AA batteries, but you'll need to supply your own AAA batteries. The headphone works reasonably well, but it's missing a few features that would bump it to the top of our list, such as volume controls and an on/off switch.

The ZOHAN EM042 AM/FM radio headset is an inexpensive, comfortable, and durable pair of earmuffs that perform very well. The earmuffs block 85% of noise, and the sound quality is clear and loud. The EM042's metal ear cups fit snugly over your ears, and the bands are adjustable to make sure there's enough give for even large heads.

The EM042's rechargeable battery lasts about 10 hours, though if it's being actively used, the battery will last much longer. The EM042's ear cups easily detach, and the bands are adjustable, so they're easy to take on and off. And the wires themselves are long, so they don't get in the way while you're mowing. The only drawback is that the EM042's ear cups aren't completely waterproof, so you can't use them while mowing in the rain.
