Great Product! August 18, 2008
This a a great upgrade to my original Peltors. They are quite comfortable and the FM works fine. The AM is a little weak but I live out in the sticks so I guess it's not unusually so. Overall it's a good bargain.
 Pretty good headset August 17, 2008
I got these hoping for the best of all worlds. I'm usually the cut guy, so I need to hear what's being shouted at me, but its a pain to take off a headset between cuts...
That said, the quality of what you hear from the outside mic is ok at best. You can hear what other people say, but there is a sort of low background static.
Also the radio jack is not for your typical mp3 player, it is for a 2way radio, I think. Anyway, I thought it would accept my player, but needed to buy a $30 adapter cable to connect. Boo. My mis understanding, but they could have mentioned the jack type. you also can't change the volume of the input from the radio on the headset(only on the player, again probably not what these were designed for).
The radio works well, and also the sound reduction.
The Skinny-
Hearing protection,and radio = great
Outside mics = ok
connect to mp3 player = poor
 microphones and comfort excellent..but the worst radio of all my peltors.... August 6, 2008
I enjoyed these for the first two months. But noticed that the FM reception was as bad or worse than my much cheaper previous Peltor am/fm headphones. The AM reception was non existent but since I didn't listen to AM I didn't care. I probably should have as it was an indication of where FM was going. I'd rate this item higher for the excellent ability to hear outside sounds while around noise but the radio was very important to me.
FM reception had been getting worse and after a wasp stung me on my head, my end of the dial station disappeared as maybe when I took them off quickly (not dropping it) the FM receptor and dial seemed to get worse. As someone said here, the station's wandered on the dial from out of the box. After the above wasp sting, I couldn't find my favorite NPR station and instead only now I get the worst stations: ClearChannel and Rush Limbaugh crap. I even bought the overpriced cable for a possible Ipod, cd player hook up but being a tradesman it's hard to see myself dealing with that all day. Now the radio seems to be toast. I'll have to look into sending them back. I'd debated that maybe I should get the digital version as station wandering might not be a problem but heard their FM reception was likewise mediocre and the construction of the battery container is much better on this top of the line model. (the yellow and black ones invariably open up and fall apart at the battery holder. I've had two of them and other tradesmen report the same thing..)
All the Peltors are excellent feeling and the best in ear protection but at this price (a bargain if they worked) the radio should at least pull in the most common stations. And wandering on the dial seems to be a problem from day one. Peltor seems to have a monopoly on these types of item. Perhaps all personal tiny radios are going the way of the dinosaur? I note that radio technology seems to be getting less important. Do I have to get a satellite radio to keep my mind entertained during the work day? How about blue tooth, Peltor?
am reception very poor, sound excellent July 26, 2008
The sound reduction system with a dial to allow conversation but still stop the noise is excellent. Highly recommended. However, the AM station I listen to, which has an antenna close to me, and reaches 90 miles to the West and about 35 miles to the East, is very in and out. On a lawn mower it is horrible as every time you turn, the sound level goes up or even totally silent. You wind up cocking your head for best reception as you mow. Not sure why the am reception is so poor. I have other radio that I use to garden and it maintains volume no matter which way I face. I have not tried the FM as I don't listen to it.
 Can you hear me now? Yes, because I've got microphones! July 5, 2008

These babies are fantastic. I use them while I'm working on projects and when I'm doing yard work. They are comfortable, not too hot, strong, and resistant to rain (so far). The sound quality is excellent, too.
Also, the surround microphones cut out when sound is greater than 85 dB (peaking), while the radio stays on.
Volume knob for surround microphones
Volume knob for radio
Tuning knob for radio stations
Toggle switch for AM/FM (this switch is inset, so as not to bump it easily)
