Peltor H7A Optime 101 Over-the-Head Earmuff

The Peltor Optime 101 earmuff is recommended for very high noise level environments. Safe, comfortable and economical for all day protection. Note, this is the over the head model.
Customer Review: These work great with or without earbuds
Hi. I have a couple of Peltor Optimes: these 101's and also a pair of 105's. (I thought I'd lost the 105's so I got these, and even though the 105's reappeared I like these somewhat better.) I didn't get these because I shoot guns on a rifle range. I got them because I ride the New York subway every day. These give me peace, quiet, serenity and bliss. And, when I combine these with a pair of earbuds (I really like the Bose Triports) and an MP3 player, I get music I can actually hear (unlike all the other people on the train, who try to compensate for the train's noise by turning their music up really loud - poor things! They still can't hear the music and they're ruining their hearing). Even on a fast moving train I can hear not only the quiet violin parts of a Vivaldi concerto, but also the ECHO of the violin notes. Fantastic. You can pay $300 for a pair of noise cancelling headphones that will sorely tempt every petty thief who sees you, or you can get these, and be left alone by everyone. 'Nuff said. I like both the 101 and 105's. The 101's are slightly lighter and slightly more comfortable. They might let in a little more ambient sound, but when you're walking down a New York street you probably want a little of that anyway. I think the 101's (these earmuffs) look a little cooler becuase of the dark color (it's actually a very dark olive green, not black). The 105's have red trim that makes these already dorky looking headphones look even dorkier. I realize these make me look like a mega-nerd (although some people seem to think I'm wearing industrial sized DJ headphones, which I guess they think is cool). Well, I AM a mega-nerd, so I don't really care what people think, but if you do, you might not want these. If what you care about is actually being able to hear your music, and not having your ears ruined by howling subway trains, then these are great, with or without earbuds. Added bonus: you no longer have to be annoyed by other people's insipid conversations. For that alone, these are more than worth the money. Protect your ears. Have some peace and quiet. Be able to actually hear your music. These earmuffs are a good idea. PS I have a very fat head and these fit OK. If you have a normal head they will probably be quite comfortable. I feel a tiny bit squeezed by them, but I still think it's worth it to wear them.
Customer Review: Comfy, good for target practice
I use these for target practice. They are light and comfy, and well priced.
