Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bilsom 1010924 Leightning L3 Earmuff Nrr 30
Customer Review: Extremely fragile & unacceptable customer support from Bilsom
Summary: 1 Stars
Bilsom sells an ultra-fragile product and refuses to support it when it breaks. I bought the Bilsom Leightening L3 hearing protector in November 2004. In September 2005, I dropped it on a hard floor. The over-the-head piece is connected to the two ear covers with a piece of 1/4" plastic rod on each side of each ear cover. One of the plastic rods broke, making the L3 unusable. I called Bilsom customer support at 800-430-5490, and was informed that there is no warranty coverage on the L3 and that Bilsom would not supply me with a replacement part. I would have to order the part from a distributor. They gave me the number of the Fastenal Company in the 507 area code. I'm going to try to repair the L3 with a drop of super glue and a screw through the center of the plastic rod, rather than incurring expenses that will probably exceed the cost of the hearing protector. This is a nice hearing protector when new, but used in an environment other than a room with deep pile carpeting, it definitely is going to break.Customer Review: Bilsom Earmuff
Summary: 4 Stars
I use the Bilsom Leightning L3 Earmuff on our Kubota ZD-21 diesel grass mower. The earmuff is the best of several brands that I have used over the past twenty years, and is better than previous Bilsom models that I used. The quality is in the sound protection provided with an NRR of 31. I can easily detect the superior sound protection over the previous NRR 29 Bilsom that this model replaces. High sound protection is supremely important for anyone who is exposed to high noise levels for extended times.
I agree that the earmuff is slightly fragile. That may be the price of an acceptable weight and it is a secondary consideration for my use since I can avoid physical maltreatment. For my use, the earmuff has never failed me. Sound protection is not very costly. I've been using earmuffs for many years and know of no superior earmuff at any price.
Customer Review: Take the word of someone who knows what real noise is...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a USAF F-15C and F-16C aircraft mechanic for over 13 years and have tried scores of different "ear muff" type hearing protection and these are by far the most comfortable as well as effective muffs I have used. Anyone that has ever been up close to a jet engine in afterburner will probably tell you it is the loudest thing you will ever hear (and the last thing you'll ever hear if you don't use hearing protection). These are very effective in protecting my ears in my work environment as well when I take my guns to the range for some target practice.
The construction is adequate for the price and the comfort and functionality are second to none. I don't know what the naysayers are expecting from this protect at this price point, but from my years of experience these are without question the best I've used.
Customer Review: Block out office noise perfectly!
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased these headphones to block out office noise. I sit around people that sniff, cough, constantly clear their throats, and make other bodily noises that I just don't care to hear. Since our new office has very low walls, now, conversations are overheard as well. These headphones block out just about everything but the very loud talk around me. They at least reduce it to a level that I can still work without wanting to yell out, "BLOW YOUR DAMN NOSE." or "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
However, if you need complete silence, wear foam plugs AND these headphones! That will block out even the loudest talker or a crowd that congreates around your office to chat.
I gave them three stars because they are very, very snug on my head. Although, I'd rather have them that way, than too loose.
Customer Review: Bilsom Leightning L3 Earmuff works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these Bilsom Leightning L3 Earmuffs about 2-3 years ago to use in my home wood shop.I have some very noisy tools, planer,jointer,router,table saw-all major noise makers. These muffs filter out all the noise and stay snug on my head no matter what I'm doing. You want ear muffs to fit tight or they don't do the job of protecting your hearing. When I started shooting my pistols at a indoor target range here in town the ear muffs work just as well there too. Now my wife has bought the same pair I have after using mine. I have not had any problems with breaking??? They still look and work like they did 2-3 years ago.
