Noise Reduction Earmuffs for Adults - 35 dB (2K Hz) Protection Headphones

I purchased these earmuffs to deal with working from home and sharing an office with my hubby. When he talks, I listen, and then I don't get any work done. I looked for a pair that would fit my deceptively small head, be comfortable, work with my earbuds, and be cute. These hit 3 out of 4! I have a small head - I generally have to buy teen or "small" labeled hats and sunglasses. These earmuffs fit me perfectly. They have enough tension to seal tightly (can sometimes feel like I have a pressurized cup on my ears) without squishing my head. I am kinda sensitive to pressure on my head, I can get headaches from having my hair tied back too tightly, so the right amount of tension was important to me. I can wear these for hours without getting a headache from the tension. There is sufficient padding around the ears and the band over the head has a nice moveable pad (more on that later). So for, comfort-wise 5/5. These earmuffs definitely muffle the sound. They are not noise-canceling, there are no electronics or speakers, just foam and good design. With them on, I cannot hear my husband speaking other than a low mumble (6 ish ft away and him not trying to be quiet at all; not loud enough to distract me) and I cannot hear my dogs barking or "talking" to me. I have a pair of Siberian Huskies and they love to talk to us and each other. They also want to have "howl time" at least twice per day, where they howl together for no apparent reason other than it is fun. We joke that our younger Siberian Husky has a "doppler attack" because his bark can hurt your ears when he wants something. I see his Husky mouth move, but I don't hear him. So quiet! Muffling function - 5/5. I also use earbuds to listen to music/white noise when I'm working. The earbuds fit into my ears and the earmuffs go right over them. I don't notice the cord from the earbuds that connects to their Bluetooth neck rest - again the tension is perfect for that. I can hear the music/white noise and that removes any lingering distracting sounds that make it through the earmuffs. Works with my earbuds - 5/5 Fits my tiny head - check! Are comfortable and I can wear them for extended periods of time - check! Can be used comfortably with earbuds - check! Are cute - not so much - 2/5 for cuteness. They come in various colors, so that counts for something. I couldn't find any earmuffs that would serve my purposes and be cute, so I had to improvise. I ordered a set of Hair Clip Cat Ears (also from Amazon ~$6 -->ASIN: B0894PXJG1) thinking I would superglue them onto the earmuffs. To my delight, the padded band on the top of the earmuffs had enough room to slide the clips on without needing the glue. The clips attach on top and stay put phenomenally. The padded top part fits around the headband part without being attached. It won't come off without completely removing the ear cups, but it slides around on the band to adjust the fit. When the earmuffs are on, the padding stays put. Slide on cat ear clips and viola! cute noise-muffling earmuffs. To sum up, these earmuffs work great for my needs and with a small additional purpose are cute to wear.

Works great.

I'm on the spectrum, so I have super hearing and these are AMAZING! I was shocked! I only got these as something funny, but very much needed for the shuttle I take home, the music is always awful, and I'm coming from work, so I'm already annoyed. BUY THESE! Almost absolutely silent, there's barely anything I can hear; it's fantastic! They are as tight as necessary and very comfortable, fitted.

As an adult with autism, I bought these to help deal with my sensory issues with sound. For the positives, if you are sensitive to sound, these headphones work wonders. The noise cancellation is really good. It dulls loud noises and significantly removes quiet ones. You can still hear talking, but it’s much quieter and easy on the ears. As for the negatives, unfortunately, they don’t have a lot of nice looking ones for adults, so I put some stickers on mine. (I recommend Etsy for cute sticker sheets!) Additionally, if you are sensitive to touch, these headphones are definitely uncomfortable at first. I think I have an average sized female head, and these are tight when I put them on. However, over time they get slightly less tight, plus wearing them over a hat (strangely enough) helps the pressure significantly. Overall, I would recommend this to my sensory sensitive friends, with caution. The noise cancellation is amazing, but the comfort is lacking a little. If you’re not sure, I’d say give them a try for a little bit and if they don’t work, you can return them. Thanks for reading, have a great day, friends! 🌼

Do you see others reading while jamming to music and have no idea how they pull it off? Do you feel a quiet environment is optimal for focus? If so, the Vanderfields DBPRO44 earmuffs are a great way to carve out your own little bubble of tranquility in whatever environment you find yourself. The earmuffs are light and well padded; the foam pads provide sufficient cushioning such that I can wear the earmuffs for a couple hours before noticing any tugging or pressure around my ears. They're also well made: I'm confident these will hold up over time with normal, gentle use. Of course, performance is what you really care about with these, and having never owned a pair of earmuffs before, I had no frame of reference for their 26 decibel noise reduction rating. They'll totally block out the whirring of an overhead fan, the clicking and clacking of a keyboard, or nearby conversational speech. Anything louder will likely be heard but significantly muffled. Overall, these are a great value for the price and work exactly as I had hoped. I highly recommend them to any bibliophile on a quest for quiet or the student seeking a somewhat silent study situation.

so far my favorite ear muffs, comfortable and protects my hearing well

Companies love to play games with noise reduction ratings. Vanderfields appear to be no different. They vaguely put 33db certified in the title, but not which standard they are measuring by. Worse, in the description they dishonestly state, "The ear protection for noise reduction ... has been thoroughly tested and proven to reduce noise levels to 33dB, meeting the highest standards set by US regulations." - implying that the 33db noise reduction is the US rating. It is not. Or even that it's the "highest standard", which it is also not. The noise reduction rating system in the USA is called NRR and is regulated by the EPA. A similar but different European rating system is called SNR and is regulated by the EU. Due to differing testing methodologies the SNR rating is always considerably higher than the NRR rating. Companies love to muddle the waters by not telling you which system they are talking about, so that you don't know how much noise reduction their product actually gives you, compared to other products. These companies also notably don't add any charts or ratings in either the pictures or descriptions to clarify things. So I have, so that you know. The 33 is for the much higher SNR rating. The NRR rating is only 26. By comparison, 3M's "Pro Grade" ear muffs are 30 NRR, and their "Peltor X5" ear muffs are 31 NRR. Also note that every 10 db increase in scale means a TENFOLD increase in sound pressure. So yes there is a real difference between 26 and 31. I'm not saying these are bad ear muffs, they are fine, but the description is - at best - vaguely worded. At least know what they're actually offering here before you buy.

Well, I just ordered a more expensive pair of Earmuffs to replace these muffs, after 6 years of use, multiple hours at a time with commercial zero-turn, circular and table saws, chainsaw, etc. That's excellent longevity, but I wanted just a little better sound attenuation than these can provide. These are an excellent product for the price point.

Ich trage acht Stunden am Tag Gehörschutz . Lieferung war unglaublich schnell . Insgesamt eine super Sache. Langzeit Qualität werden wir sehen . Gemessen am Preis super. Lautstärke schutz ist auch wirklich gut.

Muy buena calidad. Aíslan muy bien del ruido.

Great value for the price.

Bra funktion. Sitter stabilt över öronen med något för högt tryck enligt mitt tycke.

Really good! I bought this to use at home when studying and it does the job. It doesn’t make me completely unable to hear but noises around the house are very muted and very low in volume. I am also not able to hear any YouTube video noise or any noise in general coming from a device, not sure if that helps. But would highly recommend this to anyone.
