I am looking for a good active hearing protection with Bluetooth designed for a continuous noise environment. I have tried a few without BT. Corded ones don't co-exist with tractor work. Passive noise reduction is too dangerous for me - i am legally blind and must hear ambient sounds (...screams). Given the option - I'd accept lower noise reduction to allow greater ambient awareness.
I like hearing music, podcasts, and notifications. I don't care about speaking into a phone with the machine running. I can shut it off. I don't really want an FM radio as none have actually worked and just add bulk - especially the rubber duck antenna.
I'd rather it cost less - but needs to hold up well. There are lots of junk options. But, I have had other operators lose expensive Peltor Alerts and Elvex Aware sets while mowing. As in, they were shredded.
If needed, I could add bluetooth listening to a set if it has an audio input. I will probably make a tether setup to keep them from flying off under the mower. I would consider either over-ear muffs or good in-ears.
Any ideas what would work? Thanks!
