Worktunes AM-FM Radio ear protection

Post by ryanbp01 »

This headset will receive both AM and FM stations. You can preset the radio to your favorite stations. There is also a jack for you to plug in an MP3 player. The ear muffs are extremely comfortable and do a fine job reducing outside noise. I use them in both the shop and when I'm mowing the yard. I picked mine up at Lowe's for under $50. They do a fine job at reducing noise and will protect your hearing.

As far as I know it is the only model they make. I do know it uses digital tuning so you can then preset to the stations you want.

I have an older model without digital tuning. About the only complaint is the antenna for AM. If you don't have a strong station and face the wrong direction you lose the signal.

I was in HD and noticed a RYOBI display. They had radio headphones for about $60. It comes with a big battery and auto power shut off. Also you can hook up a ipod to it.
