Electronic hearing protection with bluetooth?
I'm looking for something that is a little more than just the standard electronic earmuffs for shooting. I want them to do that, but I also would like bluetooth built in so I can listen to audiobooks at work in a noisy environment.
I've done some looking around, and I've found ones that look like they'll do the job, but the reviews are mixed. I was hoping to find someone here who has used one of these type units and can give an thumbs up or down on a particular model.
Units like these:

Thanks!

Re: Electronic hearing protection with bluetooth?
I've had the peltors for about a year now, they work great. I replaced a pair of walkers, and the batteries in my peltors last significantly longer. also the audio quality is much better.
I use them at all day shooting events, and if you're going to to be wearing them all day I'd strongly suggest upgrading the ear pieces to gel like these ones:

I would absolutely spend the money again on this setup.

Search YouTube for April Wilkerson. I know she uses Bluetooth earpro and has discussed them in the past.

Peltor sport tactical 500 hands down. I have them. Just be sure to upgrade the seals with gel ones for aviation headsets. Makes them comfortable for hours and hours of shooting

I did get the Peltor 500, and I've been using it for about a week. Very nice. Cheapie AA batteries lasted about 32-40 hours. I've got a better grade in them now, and I'll be getting some rechargeable ones to use so I'm not spending a ton on batteries.
Also ordered the gel rings that were recommended. But they haven't arrived yet.

Re: Electronic hearing protection with bluetooth?
I've had the rechargeables for a few weeks now. A set lasts about 2 shifts. The major issue is the headband leaves creases in my scalp and is painful.
This model headband cushion shows up when I search for a matching one to the 500s. Does anybody know if it is an actual fit for the headset?

Look at 3M Worktunes. I use them for mowing grass. They work great.

Re: Electronic hearing protection with bluetooth?
Um...I'm not sure why you are suggesting them, given I already have the Peltor Tactical 500, which has more noise reduction and it looks like a better build quality. I don't need AM/FM. And it looks like the headband on them would hurt worse over the course of an 8 to 10 hour shift.
