For proper use, see user instructions or call 3M Technical Service toll free at 1-800-494-3552. In Canada, call 1-800-267-4414. *CAUTION: 3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing protectors.

Update 4/12/16 Also,the stereo sound is way better than the communications headsets in some cases.
Update 4/30/16 Keep in mind the newest Wired work tunes are not digital and the Tekk logo is no longer under the 3M logo. They are better than they ever were .
Update 5/1/16 Purchased both Wired and Wireless sets for McKenzie Westmore-Tatopoulos. She seems pretty ecstatic to get them.
Update, 12/26/16 back in October gave away several older models and finally bought a pair of the first set they ever came out with. Just recently bought a set for a lady under me at work and she loves hers . Haven't yet to see the celebrity with hers on yet, although she said she loves them and wore them.
Update 9/3/17 Bought these yet again...( I must be crazy) and a Bluetooth set at an outstanding price on eBay and gave some away. Always falling back on these when I have the money and I see someone who can't afford them needs a set for outside chores , work , home, pleasure etc.
One way to give God the glory...I literally lost count how many sets I've had.
Update 11/17/18 Not able to get as many as I have...I'm more of a WorkTunes Connect guy now.
Also waiting on the upgrade of the 90542, the wireless bluetooth, (Black and Gray earmuffs) which will put them on par with the Worktunes Connect, having Hi Fi speakers and receiving calls. a combination of all the WorkTunes in one.
Can hardly wait til black friday.
6/19/22.
3M has done better... But the padded headband that Zohan and Prohear have is a copy of the 3M WorkTunes that old on the Regular , non Bluetooth version. They need to put it back on the connect versions even if an option like they do with the gels... which is a great improvement by 3M. Also to get rid of ear pain , and I've seen a lot of reviews on this...it's really easy to go to your auto parts store and get a Sheepskin seatbelt cover, find the softest one you think your like and cut it to fit in the ear cup ( pop it out, it's easy with a butter knife) and put the Sheepskin in. The ear pain won't be there and your ears will be pretty comfy, and no sound changes ...that I can tell anyway. Actually feels very nice. If you work outside in the heat, well they may get warm on you, so just depends...but you can always have them on standby. The gels allow more room for your ears and that added with sheet "fleece" makes a very comfortable headphone earmuff. I used Sherpa fleece but I find Sheepskin with it's healing properties is far better. A thin soft medical Sheepskin would likely be better for your inserts if any cuts or Knicks on your ears or soreness. Does great for me, but we are all picky about one thing or another.
The sound quality is fine for casual listening and as good or better than most headphones in this price range. Be sure to adjust the bass boost to the level you like and for the fidelity you want. I listen to news, classical music, rock, hip-hop, folk, and pop on these.
The voice assist station announcer helps a lot and saves me from having to fiddle around making sure I have the right station. A problem is that it announces the station at too high a volume. I wish it would announce at the same volume I have the radio set at. My work-around is that I turn it on and wait for the voice assist to announce before putting them on. But if I change the station while I'm wearing them, or I need help with knowing the station, I have to listen to it.
The hearing protection is the same as most decent quality sets of ear covers. They work well, making a good seal -- and I have pretty big ears.
Overall, I'm really glad I bought these.
Update after using these for a month:
The battery life is excellent.
A design flaw is that the volume knob is often turned up by any collar I'm wearing rubbing against it. I either have to zip jackets all the way up to my chin or tuck the collar in -- not always a comfortable solution. I wish the volume knob were higher up and not toward the bottom.
Like most ear covers of this design, I am unable to wear any kind of glasses or eye protection, that have temples, for more than 20 minutes without experiencing discomfort in my temples or headaches from the added pressure. I can use goggles that have elastic straps okay. And without glasses this headset can be worn for hours comfortably.
I wore these shoveling snow in a windy snowstorm and they held up great despite getting pretty wet and icy.
Overall, I'm even happier I bought this now that I've used it for a while.
Top reviews from other countries
I was looking for something for bus and (especially) airplane rides. I find my ears numbed by noisy engines - particularly on the small planes - and figure I'm better safe than sorry.
I have a more expensive pair of noise blocking headphones and wish I'd found these first. These cushions fit better over my ears (I have trouble finding a good fit) which makes the noise blocking is more effective. I didn't want blutooth or any fancy features - I use the other pair every day and they get beat up in transit - so was looking for a price point where I could afford to buy a new pair.
First impressions are that they are sturdy, comfortable, and do a good job blocking outside noise. They greatly reduce engine noise when you are sitting over the wing, and listening to the news during bus rides is handy.
For practicality, these get full points.
I can't speak to power consumption but a fully charged set of AAs have lasted over 24 hours and, honestly, that will probably depend on the type and age of the batteries. What I do like is that they use AA batteries that can be replaced easily and you can carry spares to swap out if you run out of power on the road. Unlike devices with built-in batteries, these might still be usable 3 years from now. Not really fair comparing these to ipods, but these have some serious advantages.
Furthermore, they have detachable cables to reduce clutter (I replaced the one that came with it for a retractable pair), and well mounted radio controls that can be reached without having to take them off.
Some folks have complained about the tuner. I thought it was good - you turn the knob and a voice reads out the current frequency. If you are far off the station that you want, give it a few full turns; if you are close to the station that you want, just give it a few clicks.
One unexpected bonus - they are pretty warm while standing at the bus stop on 5C mornings. That may backfire in the summer but since we are moving towards winter, I'm looking forward to using them as earmuffs!
Two complaints:
1) if you plug anything into the headphone jack, the radio switches over - even if you turn off the player. It would be better if the "MODE" button let you toggle between sources. Having to disconnect and store the headphone cable somewhere is a nuisance.
2) The yellow colour works great if you are in construction, but is a bit too visible for casual day wear. Some styling other colour options (even plain black or grey) would open these up to a wider market.
Overall, these fit my needs and price point really well. Unless they turn out to break easily or stop working for no reason, I'll give these 5 stars!
