I use the same setup except my headphones aren't so nice but instead of music I just put a few podcasts I want to hear on the shuffle.
I'm not comfortable with ear plugs which eliminate all sound. You can't hear if something is going wrong. The beauty of these headphones is that it eliminates the noises that can harm your hearing, but still lets you hear, for example, if a person is yelling at you to stop. You can also hear the engine running in a very muffled tone, and would know if something was wrong. Hard to explain exactly, but once you try them, you will never go back to ear plugs or headsets that eliminate all sound.
This is one of the many reasons that I love my heated and cooled cab (it also has a stereo system but I rarely turn it on) Noise is reduced to a level that doesnt require hearing protection but I can still hear noises that might indicate a problem.
Folks that run around with earbuds blasting in their ears for 18 hours a day are doing more damage to their hearing than any loud noise from an engine. I am afraid that we are going to have a generation of deaf people when todays youngsters grow up.
Thanks for the response this way I wouldn't know how to retrieve the info from a direct response anyway. I are just barely computer literate. The photos will be helpful.View attachment 288880View attachment 288881View attachment 288882
