Thanks to the use of a cleverly designed spacer, the X3 ear defenders are capable of delivering a greater level of noise reduction without a significant increase in bulk or weight. As such, these ear defenders are relatively lightweight for their performance. Like the majority of the PELTOR X Series , these earmuffs are recommended for the food processing industry by their manufacturer. 3M™ PELTOR™ X Series Earmuff X4 The cushions and foam inserts, available as Hygiene Kits, are easy to replace if they become worn or damaged, extending the life of the product. Get lightweight hearing protection that combines excellently with other safety equipment with 3M™ PELTOR™ Optime™ I Earmuffs. The PELTOR X1s are an ultra slimline product designed for comfort in relatively low noise level work environments. 3M recommends these products for use in the food processing industry, though they should be more than suited to any similar noise level environment. 3M™ PELTOR™ X Series Earmuff X2 For high performance hearing protection against moderate to high noise levels, use 3M™ PELTOR™ X4 Earmuffs.

The Peltor Optime II ear muffs have been designed to provide moderate to heavy levels of hearing protection, particularly in environments dominated by low to medium frequencies. Thankfully we’re all much more aware of the need to protect ourself today because a shoot day can be very noisy. Most 12-bore gunshots produce a sound of around 150 to 160 decibels (db), while a .30-06 rifle with a 24in barrel produces around the same. Consistent exposure to sounds of more than 95db is bad, and noises of more than 120db can cause permanent damage to your hearing in seconds. Read our piece on why you should always wear ear defenders when shooting.PELTOR’s Optime Series is designed for long exposure to industrial noise, with a range of products covering a range of 8-hour TWA (Time Weighted Average) noise exposures from 95 dB (belt sander) up to 105 dB (table saw). If high-performance long-term industrial noise protection is what you’re looking for, then the Optime series might be for you. Product Name Name Tested in accordance with EN 352:2020, our earmuffs reduce noise levels up to 27 dB. They’re ideal for moderate industrial noise, such as workshops, sheet-metal shops and printing works, and for outdoor activities, including lawn mowing or hedge trimming. In this article, we’ll be rounding up and covering a few of the key product families across the PELTOR range to help you figure out which product is best for you.
