## Description

Portwest Classic Ear Protector, Size: One Size, Colour: Red, PW40RER : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Perfect for strimming - I bought myself a really noisy Stihl petrol strimmer recently and the first time I used it I thought I was going to need a paracetamol the size of Wales to get rid of my pounding headache. I could barely hear anything after using it for about 2 hours. I got serious tinnitus, and had to lie down with the pain in my head. So I got these. Putting them on, the world goes very muted. They cut down the bass-y noise of engines really well, but you can still hear higher-pitched sounds a little better, like people talking to you. They're still very muted, but with the strimmer running, I can almost make out what someone's shouting at me, which is far better than if I wasn't wearing them. They're comfortable and adjustable (to a degree), and they look pretty good too. If you're strimming, grass bits fly everywhere, so it's important that these have a nice glossy plastic finish, easy to wipe down after tackling a large garden. Pretty good value for money too. I've paid more for ear defenders before, and I'd give these a 4 star rating for blocking noise compared to seriously high-end ear defenders. But then, these are a fifth of the price of high-end ear defenders. If you really want to cut the noise level to zero, pop in a set of ear plugs as well as wearing these. You see builders doing this on site all the time, as it's a great way of completely nullifying pneumatic drill noise.
Review: Used for gardening - I use ear defenders for gardening, often in combination with ear 'buds' and a radio/iPod for listening. The defenders stop the buds falling out but also reduce noise when mowing, trimming and chainsaw cutting. I have them for an additional reason, though. Here in rural Britain there too many barking dogs, left unattended and bored in gardens, and I don't want hear them either. Also, it is considered manly to have 100db petrol-driven garden tools. My wife also has a pair because, on one occasion the kitchen smoke alarm went off and she couldn't reach the smoke alarm cancellation button. No, the kitchen wasn't burning down!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the fold up?**
A: No

**Q: Does the headband swivel on the ear muffs. As I wear a shield also with a headband as well I  need to have the headband to the rear of my head**
A: Yes the ear muffs both swivel 360 degrees and slide up and down independently about 2 inches each. I wear them over a face shield without any problems when I am strimming.

**Q: It says snr 28db but what is the nrr so i can compare to other makes? how fully do they block birds, traffic, talking, tv, power tools?**
A: They are very effective with power tools. Grinder, slab cutter, hammer drill, big hedge trimmer, strimmer etc. I cant measure the dB reduction, but they are good at dampening the loud, damaging, deafening sound levels I would be exposed to without them.
A great buy & reasonable price, easy to use & adjust for fit.

**Q: I need noise-cancelling headphones of some description to use in the cinema as I find it far too loud. Would these do the job?**
A: These are ear defenders.  Designed to protect your ears from excessive noises like power tools or chainsaw or very loud machines or working beside a loud rock band. I have found them to be very effective.  They are not noise cancelling headphones.
As for your question about using them in the cinema, they will make it very much more quiet to the point where you won't hear lower volume level sounds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Ear Muffs!
*by G***D on 30 October 2021*

These Ear Muffs are Great! I have personally found the ear muffs to help defend or protect my ears from sounds that can naturally be annoying, irritating or agitating, and to lower the background noises in the atmosphere. They may be ideal if you want to lower noises, but at the same time hear your colleagues so that you can work more effectively, for example, or read a book with more quiet, being able to concentrate better. They are relatively or fairly comfortable, and are very practical for partially blocking out sounds in general.
