Good, not great.

I had an older pair of Worktunes bluetooth headphones for when I’m on my commercial lawn mower. They finally died and I decided to upgrade to these thinking they would better at reducing sound along with good quality audio. When the mower is on an the blades are turning I have to turn up the volume to max on my phone and it’s still hard to even listen to a podcast or anything that has someone speaking. The sound reduction is not that great for these even being osha certified. For the money I paid shouldn’t have to put the phone at max volume which then keeps telling me I need to turn it down because I’ve had it maxed out for so long. I really wanted these to work but for $160 I may be returning these for something better.

quality product

Solidly built. Good fit over glasses, good adjustment range. Easy to adjust noise cancellation. We began using these in a loud convertible car after we grew tired of yelling over the wind noise. Pairs easily with smart phone. They do not pair with each other or blue tooth radio.

I expected too much

I love my ISOtunes. I wear them 10 hours a day (with breaks). I work in a machine shop that is at a constant 80db. I need to talk to coworkers and have trouble hearing them over the noise. I tried using shooting headphones (that block out handgun reports while allowing conversation) but the background noise was overwhelming. I hoped that the adjustable background noise deadening would allow me to hear coworker voices over the din, but they did not. That is the only reason I gave them 4 of 5 stars, because I expected too much. I like how easily and solid the bluetooth connection is, how comfortable they are to wear, how they have the ability to add AAA batteries should the rechargeable battery wear out. I have also used them in the woods while camping to amplify the noises around me so I could better hear birds, deer, opossums, insects, etc... I will likely upgrade them with the gel pads once the current ear pads wear out.
