3M 90565 4DC PS Pro Grade Earmuff Reviews Summary

Comfort

Pros:

• "These are excellent. Comfortable. Very quiet. High quality."
• "Very good noise isolation, very comfy."
• "Very comfortable."
• "They are mighty comfortable. The headrest is made in a way not to crush either your ears or the side of the head."
• "These are comfortable, affordable, and effective."
• "They are very comfortable to ware indoors and outdoors."
• "These are by far the best ear protection ear muffs I have ever worn and they’re also very comfortable!!"

Cons:

• "Only complaint is although initially comfortable when put on, they do tend to squeeze a bit tight to the head and I'm definitely ready to take them off after 45minutes/1 hour of wear."
• "These things do a great job of blocking out sound. However, I need them for work and I don't know if I just have a big head or what but these things squeeze the hell out of my head and start hurting after a couple hours."
• "One main issue is that they are small and fit very tight on a small head like mine so comfort is fair at best."
• "Because it is tight to block out sounds, it can hurt the jaw, especially when attempting to sleep with it."
• "They are comfortable at first, but after having them on for a few hours it did start to get a little uncomfortable."
• "These definitely block noise. BUT they hurt. I have a small head but these are still tight."
• "They work great, but are too tight causing discomfort after first 10-15 minutes."

Build Quality

Pros:

• "The build quality of these earmuffs is exceptional."
• "The exterior of the muffs and the headband are hard plastic; lightweight and somewhat durable."
• "These are the best noise cancelling ear muffs that I have, including Walkers and Caldwells."
• "They are a high quality set of earmuffs and I expect them to last a very long time."
• "These headphones are sturdy yet lightweight."
• "The product feels very well made."
• "Great quality plastic and construction!"

Cons:

• "The very thin black plastic material holding in the small amount of fluff within the earmuffs just started to rip apart."
• "I would not purchase either pair again due to their fragility and ultra cheap construction."
• "Just the build quality is bulky and have some sharp edge that can scratch at the bottom of your face when hanging them on your neck."
• "Haven’t dropped them nor do I treat them roughly, but I feel like they won’t handle abuse well."
• "They are cheap, they feel cheap, and likely will not be incredibly durable."
• "I understand people complaining about its flimsiness."
• "Less than a year old and already deteriorating around the ears."

Noise Cancellation

Pros:

• "The noise cancellation was great!"
• "NRR = 30 dB, which means they are capable of reducing a harmful noise of say 100 dB down to 70 dB."
• "The noise cancelation is outstanding! I highly recommend these!"
• "Totally does it's job, excellent noise blocking."
• "These really work and they are comfortable and adjustable."
• "Noise cancellation is excellent!"
• "These provide excellent noise reduction, durable, easy to put on and adjust placement over ears."

Cons:

• "They don't provide the noise cancellation once they come apart this way."
• "These are of great quality and quite comfortable but for me they are a waste of money. I wanted to use them for mowing with my zero turn and while they are great for blocking some noise, they do not block the low frequency sound of the blades."
• "These earmuffs doesn’t block the sounds. I can still hear all the noise coming from upstairs and the footsteps."
• "I could hear everything, just as I could without wearing these."
• "However, the design using a flimsy wire fastener of the headband to the muff may not hold up."
• "However they were too small for my son to wear, so we had to purchase another brand for him."
• "This kind of defect is unacceptable for a company like 3M to put their logo on."

Value

Pros:

• "Great value for a name brand product."
• "This pair was at least $10 less than what the gun range was selling it for."
• "These are great! Not only do they do a great job of protecting your ears from loud sounds but they are very comfortable."
• "Nicer than expected quality, great all around and worth the cost."
• "Don’t let the price deceive you. These are the best headphones for hearing protection."
• "Good product at fair price."
• "I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants an affordable noise cancelling solution that is comfortable and reliable."

Cons:

• "Made in China and not worth the money."
• "It DOES NOT have 'Bluetooth Wireless Technology' as stated in the description."
• "The only negative with 3M and others is that replacement parts are ridiculously priced so best to buy complete new set."
• "Don't know how they'll hold up, these are more expensive than lots of others."
• "The item arrived in a damaged box and was obviously previously opened."
• "The box and packaging was horrible, they could have easily fallen out and it looked like someone used it as a volley ball before they shipped it."
• "The quality of 3M has definitely gone downhill because this should have not happened as I've previously had 3M earmuffs."
