Review on 🎧 3M PELTOR E-A-R buds Noise Isolating Headphones EARbud2600N,Black: Enhanced Audio Experience in Stylish Black Design by Crystal Spicer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good for work, also for everyday use.

I bought these headphones about four months ago for listening to music at work and they are one of the few approved headphones. So far they've been great and have held up really well considering I use them 40-56 hours a week. I honestly can't complain about the sound quality, it's not as good as my Samsung headphones but definitely better than the standard $20 headphones. As long as you don't twist or bend the tips (because that muffles the sound) the sound is pretty good, I have to be careful not to accidentally lift them too much most of the time because they can get loud (at least on my phone). I like that they have a separate volume control and clip. It works really well for getting the extra cable out of the way and keeping the controls in place until I can turn the volume up or down without even looking, which is very useful. Ear protection wise they work really well, I use a triple flange (diffusers actually block too much noise, I don't want to get run over by a forklift cause I can't hear them honking) and they definitely work. better than the standard headphones we otherwise have to wear. The only thing I've noticed is that the triple flange lugs have started to wrinkle and break in the last week or two, but considering I've been wearing them almost constantly for the past four months, it really isn't terrible. The headphones themselves have held up very well, I keep the plug cord under my shirt trying to keep it from snagging, which also helps protect the plug. With the exception of the attachments, they basically still look and work like new, and several of my colleagues I've asked used them for 2-3 years (one had them for 5+ years) before they died. So really not a bad deal at $45. Edit: After a year my first one ran out, though more my fault. I dropped my phone while it was plugged in and pulled the cord too hard and the audio is really shaky. But I definitely got my money's worth and will buy more. My only issue is that I wish they would make a version with a USB-C connector so I don't have to use a headphone jack or a bluetooth converter to use it with my phone.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
