During an episode, headphones or earmuffs are a great strategy to try to help your child with autism to calm down in a safe, quiet space. Final Thoughts The X5a perform better than the 105 against low-frequency noise, but they have smaller ear pad openings than the Optime 105. I am not sure how that would affect your speaker setup. to remove the ear pads just put your fingers inside the muffs underneath the spacer (the hard plastic ring) and pull outwards. For comparison, I have tried the X-series headband together with these cups: with that headband, they stay in place. So for the time being, I will also not consider using them as safety earmuffs when working in a high noise environment in a private setting.

Noise Reduction Rating: These earmuffs have a noise reduction rating of 22db. This means that they reduce external noises by 22 decibels to dull outside sounds. But because they are large, depending on your technique and the rifle, they may or may not work well for rifle shooting. Quality, Durability and Maintenance The Optime 98 have the same steel-wire headband as the Optime 105 and the cups are made of a durable hard-plastic. If you look at the comparison chart, in this range, the NRR-25 Optime 98 perform as well as the NRR-30 Leightning L3. And, this is also the subjective feeling I get wearing them.However, tf you are looking to protect your hearing on the job while listening to music or taking phone calls, Bluetooth earmuffs can do that. On the plus-side, I like the large cushion openings. If your head is small enough they would perhaps be as comfortable as the 3M Peltor Optime 105. I also highly recommend wearing the G & F 12010 Safety Earmuff, which, I think, delivers pretty good performance when it comes to protecting your hearing. It can supply superior hearing protection at 34 decibels. With its high noise reduction rating, expect it to defend you from harmful noise at work, during sports events, or when you are shooting and in festivals and concerts. A case for the Optime 105 is also available to prolong their life and keep them clean. Howard Leight Leightning L3 earmuffs, NRR 30 detailed review The headband is adjustable to fit a large range of head sizes. It conforms perfectly to my head, and I don’t feel any pressure points. With 350 grams, the X5A are relatively heavy earmuffs, but the headband and cups don’t slide down.

I use the 3M Peltor Optime 105 as a reference here because the physical characteristics of the Mpow and the Optime earmuffs are very similar (size, cup depth, and weight). Cup Size and Design They may be referring to the SNR, the Single Number Rating, which is, for example, used in Europe. The SNR is almost always a few decibels higher but it is not the number to be used on the EPA label. If you have to continue wearing earmuffs on top of earplugs, get earmuffs with built-in speakers such as the 3M Worktunes Connect. ( I have reviewed the Worktunes in this article.) The Peltor X4A are the most effective low-profile earmuffs I know off. They are noticeably quieter and flatter than the Optime 98. But, if you want to use the Optime 105 for rifle shooting, their somewhat shallower design may be an advantage. Quality, Durability and MaintenanceIf your little one has a tiny head or struggles with large earmuffs, these might not be the best for you. The ear cup is quite large. 7.
