Excellent hearing protection
I purchased these Dewalt earmuffs a couple months ago and have been using them both for work (carpentry) and in the recording studio (during loud playbacks when I'm not doing critical listening, but have to be available). They're very comfortable, even for extended periods of time. And they block out more sound than any earmuff I've used in the past. I recommend them highly.

We all wear them in our shop!
Work great! Everyone in our company has been given one to wear while plaining wood and when around the table saws. Cuts out a lot of the noise and I don't believe any of our Ear Muffs have broken and we do use them daily. A person can be standing right in front of you talking and if they aren't at a mild yell, you won't be able to make out what they are telling you.

It broke before I got it on my head!
I got this ear muffs just because I love DeWalt products and try to have the Yellow gadgets around my workshop. When I got this, I wanted to see how much noise can it block. So, I got it out of the package and started to wear it on my ears when I heared "click". Yes, the band broke in half. And since I took it with my abroad, I couldn't return it to the seller. The seller, however, was very professional and prompt.
