hearing protection can improve work quality. no joke #garage #openlab

I got the AirPods Pro. I couldn’t go back to non noise canceling.

I use isotunes most of the time when working. A lot of times without any music playing, the silence helps me focus and really hone in on what i’m doing

3M make worktunes which are proper ear defenders that are also Bluetooth headphones. I love mine!

For sure
100% agree. If its too loud, i dont like it and want to hurry. I have the between pros and they work great. Thanks for making this❤

That’s like listening to a Tesla as opposed to a Camaro no contest😅

I will agree. You block out unwanted sound, your mind will relax and the focus will increase. You can hear yourself breathe and control your heart rate. Sometimes slow and smooth is faster.

Please take this video down. Don't recommend ANC headphones as an alternative to hearing protection.

I have noticed this too, I wear my AirPods pros, and operate a lathe. It’s surprisingly good! It’s equal if not better than those squeezy ones

Hey, I promise you, look into the 3M WorkTunes Bluetooth with the Gel Pads. The Gel Pads are critical. I work for a certain big blue DoD contractor and occasionally need to vibrate large components with Unholtz Dickie equipment. The 3M WorkTunes with the GELpads, did I mention the gel pad ear cups? They are the best, most comfortable hearing protection with Bluetooth built in.

ANC is NOT PPE the sound pressure is still there

Apple AirPods are fantastic ear protection. They have several noise cancelling modes. And you can listen to podcasts casts or tunes while you work

Yes, you’d need proper ppe at a workplace, but for us home gamers I’ve found this or Airpod Pros adequate and preferable to the isotunes for lower noise applications (vacuums, smaller tools).

Real ppe is necessary when it gets proper loud of course.

Turning on the router, while upside down, could indicate leading dumb dumbs into hurting themselves, please hear word of caution, lots of dumb dumbs watching

Highly recommend ear plugs underneath ANC as others have mentioned, or dedicated hearing protection headphones (iirc isotunes makes them??) that have PPE ratings.

This trick is also very effective on planes and trains for sleeping or listening to media.

Noise cancellation headphones are not a substitution for proper hearing protection.

I recommend using ear plugs and ANC headphones. ANC does not reduce all frequencies and some types of noise like wind buffeting will increase the noise levels.

Noise fatigue is real!
