Average to below average
Durable with possibly the worst sound you could get. If you love music this thing will let you down and is probably only good for audiobooks. Its tinny, has little to no bass and isn't loud enough. I listen to metal, rock and funk music and I can't stand how bad everything sounds.
Bluetooth connects well.
While these are really only hearing protection I would say that only thing they drown out is other peoples music when on a construction site when playing music.
They are not effective as earmuffs either and don't really stop loud noises such as dropsaw's and hammers as effectively as regular earmuffs although they feel well built.
Battery life is good.
Comfortable? Yeah nah not too bad ...Read more

Better than airpods in earmuffs!
I love these! For years I would use corded headphones under earmuffs and then my airpods under my earmuffs while mowing the lawn and it was always painful as they would never sit right.
This connect perfectly to my iphone and allow me to listen to podcasts while mowing and I can leave my phone on the patio! I don't have a massive yard so I can't comment on the range but I would say it would work at least 10 meters away from my phone. In terms of sound quality I can't really comment as I only use them for podcasts not music but they are perfect ...Read more
for what I need them for. In terms of battery life it takes me about 1 hour to mow my lawn and they last fine, I have not tested them to see how long they would actually last for. Good value for money in my opinion and solved a problem that I continuously had. Love them!

Soild performance, but some major design issues
Have been using these in a warehouse environment. Sound isolation is good. However, the band on the head has no cushion or foam, so you have a hard plastic band that sits on your head, and starts to hurt after 30mins.
These also weigh a lot for headphones, so again without the cushion, you can't have these on for long. I did a little DIY and added own rubber cushion, but you should not have to.
Connectivity is easy, the sound is 4/10, lacking in bass.
No AM radio option.
Call volume is ok, but the microphones pick up everything around you,...Read more
so it is almost impossible to take the call without stepping to a quiet place. The press to listen button also sucks. As it distorts everything, so basically not the best. Better off using some in-ear monitors.Purchased in March 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for A$70.00.

Brilliant for the price
I bought these after many years of basic AM/FM radio ear muffs.
The Bluetooth and price were what sold them for me.
My first pair were great until i dropped them one too many times which caused one side to occasionally malfunction so they're in my locker as a back up.
The newest ones i bought had much better quality, Better functions and controls and seemed to work better in general.
The radio doesn't work too well in certain places like sheds or the cabin of a vehicle but i have only ever used it a couple of times when my phone went flat.

Waste of money
It’s incredibly hard to use it, once you have machinery working around you, no chance of being able to hear the music, if some one calls and you answer they can’t hear you as it keeps cutting off, so you look like stupid yelling to your self.

Chinese garbage, wish I never bought them
When you turn them on for the first time, you're greeted by a voice sounding very familiar, if you live in Springvale, the sound is quite disappointing, but then again they only cost a 3rd the price of a quality set, I guess I kinda hoped the rest of the functions would work better, not really, in Bluetooth mode the connection keeps dropping out, FM radio very bad, it's like you're listening to radio free Eourope back in the 70' crackly and lots of static interference, I couldn't return them because I hung on to them too long, outside the grace period, so in other words, Pathetic

Horrible. Buttons get stuck, the entire unit malfunctions
Wireless range is unsatisfactory
Doesn’t work properly
Buttons get stuck
The entire unit malfunctions
The audio that plays through the earmuffs is what the microphone picks up. So I can hear everything around me 10 times louder than normal.

Does more than I expected.
I bought these for the noise reduction and Bluetooth, both of which it excels at.
The FM radio works well though is obstructed by metal shielding (sheds etc).
What surprised me was the 'hold to talk' function button. It reduces all sounds down to a base level meaning even loud sounds come down to the level of talking. Even though there is a microphone, meaning you hear your footsteps, clapping
or banging right next to the microphone brings the noise down to a low level.
Bluetooth range is about 20 plus metres and is very clear.
I wear these on the mower for hours. Very comfortable.

This is a game changer
After wearing earmuffs with no sound, this is seriously a game changer. I link the headphones to my bluetooth instantly by turning the headset on and connects it to spotify with my created playlist. The day runs faster now as I mow lawns for a living. I have had only one problem with the connection dropping out in deadspots other than that its fine. Im used to having to turn off my equipment and reach for my phone to answer, now it tells me when a phone call is coming and all I have to do is press the pause button on the side. Charging it is so easy as it uses the same cable for my playstation 4 controller. I would make this five stars if the sound was a little bit louder and it was waterproof. Now that the weather is good it is perfect.

Does what it says on the box
It's not super well built but more then adequate if you look after your stuff/tools. I've had it for 6 months used for a few big projects and they are holding up great. Sound quality is not amazing but it would be silly to expect it to sound like a Bose head set for this price. But don't get me wrong - they sound good, and heaps better then listening to a brick cutter all day long. I only use the Bluetooth and have had no issues with sygnal/reception. I do find that if I have the volume on the phone up too high then it might clip/cut out so I put the volume to 80% and the problem goes away.

Do you want semi decent quality? Well this is NOT it
These were dead straight out of the box. I charged them but I couldn’t even get past turning it on. Took them straight back and got my money back.
So I can’t even say that these Bluetooth headphones were crap quality. They weren’t even good enough to come up to that level.

Earmuffs too small hurt my ears
Sound is terrible not stereo and not loud enough to hear the music at work place. The earmuffs are too small for adults ears it hurt my ears every time I used it. The Bluetooth range is very bad. I only used it couple of times. Wasting money not recommended.

Works as well as expected
I bought these hoping that they would work well enough in an industrial environment as i work around noisy machinery. So far they have worked well. They pair up with my samsung 7 edge quickly then i tap mode button and the last fm station i listened to comes up. Speakers are quite "tinnie" sounding as there isn't much bass but from past experience, any descent bass and batteries go flat quickly. So overall i can receive calls, listen to the radio or music from my phone. Radio will go crackly as i move around the factory due to interference fro...Read more
m the machines but i can simply switch to bluetooth music from my phone. In this mode i can also hear when i get messages or emails as music will mute briefly while notification sound plays. It doesnt seem to do that in radio mode. Overall i am happy with them so far. Charge seems to last an 8hr shift but i dont have them up too loud. I would like them more if there was a way to program and save stations manually.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible new model
I bought 3 pairs of the first model in 18mths. All 3 ended up with the same issues - wires break of circuit board for one heaphone and the charging port comes off the circuit board. One pair just totally died. No screen or lights etc. Then the new model came out and I thought they could only be better. Nope! Completely useless! The Bluetooth and radio signal strength were absolutely disgraceful. The Bluetooth would breakup with the phone in my back pocket and the FM signal strength was also too bad to make use of. I bought 2 pairs for when the ...Read more
first ones die but after seeing how bad they are, I took them back to Bunnings. Rubbish! Not a decision I made easily either because over the past 2yrs, they've made my day a whole lot more entertaining and answering calls was easy but they've totally lost it. I could handle the lack of durability at the price but not the total lack of performance in the new model.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Does a decent job.
The bluetooth connection can be a bit flaky, had to be selective on what pocket i had my phone in to stay clear & avoid the crackles...Strange that it can crackle from my hip pocket, but leave the phone a few metres away & it’s all clear
Sound is pretty decent both bluetooth and radio
Muffles the noise decently....it’s definitley no posh noise cancelling job here, but i can easily hear audiobooks while running a lawn mower/leaf blower...don’t have to blast loud music to drown that out
My only real compliant ither than poor bluetooth reci...Read more
eving is the location of the volume knob...i tend to hit it with my shoulder when reaching up or down (depending on which side i face them) doing garden work, which can be pretty annoying sometimes...but not the end of the world For the price i can’t really complain...pretty comfy, easy to use & decent sound levels - both from speaker & outside muffleSimilar opinion?

Makes doing diy and mowing much more enjoyable
So listening to music makes my day SO much more enjoyable. I haven't looked back after getting these and highly recommend them. I’ve seen some other bad reviews, i bought mine over 12 months ago and use them when mowing, or doing anything noisy. I also just wear them when i want to listen to music when doing things that aren't noisy!!! Does take a little bit to figure out, but there are only a few buttons so all good, or read the manual! I find the sound good, picks up radio well, the phone side of things makes you sound in a tunnel, but I dont...Read more
use to talk, knowing a call is coming in is ideal, then take it. Only gripe is when listening to FM, it’s not connected via BT so no call notification :( I also found the battery to last and last, both with heaps of use, and with no use. I’d buy again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good, not great
1st set was hopeless, in line with reviews by others. Replacement set is good. Bluetooth works well, radio reception is also clear enough. They are comfortable to wear & drop noise levels pretty well. I have not been able to only set the radio stations I want, so have to jump through every pre-set station to get to the ones I listen to.

Fix your Bluetooth connection!
Was pretty happy with the purchase until I found out that you can’t switch between FM Mode and Bluetooth Mode, if there is any Bluetooth settings ON in the radius. In other words, if I’m on site with multiple workers and if one of them happened to leave their Bluetooth ON, on their phone, then I cannot switch to radio on the headset because this dummy headset is trying to pair with a Bluetooth from across the yard.
At the end of the, im pretty disappointed and will be returning the product to Bunnings.

Garbage
FM radio didn't work, wouldn't pick up anything. Bluetooth was sketchy at best, with dropouts and total loss of connectivity. Sound quality was "Granny's little tranny". Pulled them to bits (I'd lost the receipt, so no refunds) and found the cheapest mylar speakers I've seen, and the antenna wire broken off the board. Most of the components are held in with hot glue. True eBay $4.99 and free postage quality. Now landfill.
