Tools and Hardware Reviews of AO Safety 90541 WorkTunes AM/FM Hearing Protector with Digital Tuning and MP3 Input
Customer Review: semi-acceptable, to tight
Summary: 2 Stars
too tight on head. It hurts my jaw bone after an hour. It does block surrounding noise , but then I can't here my phone or people sneaking up on me, even when they are not sneaking. Because of the tight fit, I can hear and feel every step I take.Customer Review: Christmas gift

Customer Review: Controls poorly designed
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with the majority of the reviewers about the quality of the FM receiver -- it's dismal. However I'm fortunate in that there's one tolerable station with a very strong signal nearby, so I get reception (on that one station) with very little static. All other stations are hopeless however.
The product wasn't designed with a great deal of thought as to the controls. The on-off volume control is located so that if you wear the headphones with the volume control on the right (as most right-handed people will do) it will hit your shoulder or collar as you work, changing the volume unpredictably. This is pretty dangerous as your instinct is to immediately correct the volume, not necessarily a good thing if you're working power tools. The solution it to flip the headphones so that the controls are on the left. I don't think the stereo quality of these headphones is such that flipping the left/right channels is going to make much difference to the listening experience.
A third and final note -- when the batteries get low, the earphones give off an earsplitting beep at random intervals. Given that these headphones are intended as HEARING PROTECTION, what designer thought it would be appropriate to generate a 90 decibel tone in the user's ear?
Customer Review: Digital Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the older model for several years. This newer digital model is great. You can set favorite stations and click between them. No more dialing for stations.
