Review on Vanderfields Grey Wolf Shooting Ear Muffs - Ultimate Noise Cancelling Protection for Safety Hearing - Adult Headphones for Lawn Mowing, DIY, Construction, Woodworking by Wilbert Luoma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with my small head and earbuds - lovely quiet!

I purchased these earmuffs to deal with working from home and sharing an office with my hubby. When he talks, I listen, and then I don't get any work done. I looked for a pair that would fit my deceptively small head, be comfortable, work with my earbuds, and be cute. These hit 3 out of 4!I have a small head - I generally have to buy teen or "small" labeled hats and sunglasses. These earmuffs fit me perfectly. They have enough tension to seal tightly (can sometimes feel like I have a pressurized cup on my ears) without squishing my head. I am kinda sensitive to pressure on my head, I can get headaches from having my hair tied back too tightly, so the right amount of tension was important to me. I can wear these for hours without getting a headache from the tension. There is sufficient padding around the ears and the band over the head has a nice moveable pad (more on that later). So for, comfort-wise 5/5.These earmuffs definitely muffle the sound. They are not noise-canceling, there are no electronics or speakers, just foam and good design. With them on, I cannot hear my husband speaking other than a low mumble (6 ish ft away and him not trying to be quiet at all; not loud enough to distract me) and I cannot hear my dogs barking or "talking" to me. I have a pair of Siberian Huskies and they love to talk to us and each other. They also want to have "howl time" at least twice per day, where they howl together for no apparent reason other than it is fun. We joke that our younger Siberian Husky has a "doppler attack" because his bark can hurt your ears when he wants something. I see his Husky mouth move, but I don't hear him. So quiet! Muffling function - 5/5.I also use earbuds to listen to music/white noise when I'm working. The earbuds fit into my ears and the earmuffs go right over them. I don't notice the cord from the earbuds that connects to their Bluetooth neck rest - again the tension is perfect for that. I can hear the music/white noise and that removes any lingering distracting sounds that make it through the earmuffs. Works with my earbuds - 5/5Fits my tiny head - check!Are comfortable and I can wear them for extended periods of time - check!Can be used comfortably with earbuds - check!Are cute - not so much - 2/5 for cuteness. They come in various colors, so that counts for something.I couldn't find any earmuffs that would serve my purposes and be cute, so I had to improvise. I ordered a set of Hair Clip Cat Ears (also from Revain $6 -->ASIN: B0894PXJG1) thinking I would superglue them onto the earmuffs. To my delight, the padded band on the top of the earmuffs had enough room to slide the clips on without needing the glue. The clips attach on top and stay put phenomenally. The padded top part fits around the headband part without being attached. It won't come off without completely removing the ear cups, but it slides around on the band to adjust the fit. When the earmuffs are on, the padding stays put. Slide on cat ear clips and viola! cute noise-muffling earmuffs.To sum up, these earmuffs work great for my needs and with a small additional purpose are cute to wear.

Pros
  • Provides superior noise reduction than other earmuffs on the market
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with certain types of glasses, like bifocals or progressives
