3M Peltor Optime 105 Over-the-Head Earmuff, NRR 30 dB

3M Peltor

Twin-cup design achieves higher high- and low-frequency attenuation than a standard single-cup earmuff

  • NRR 30 dB, twin-cup design
  • Rated for the loudest tasks
  • Pairs with foam earplugs for double protection
  • Padded steel headband

Pros

  • Twin-cup design achieves higher high- and low-frequency attenuation than a standard single-cup earmuff
  • Worn over foam earplugs, adds approximately 5 dB of additional attenuation for the loudest shop operations
  • The correct protection for chainsaw milling, angle grinding, and large thickness planers
  • Some routers and thickness planers exceed 100 dB -- double protection with this earmuff is appropriate

Cons

  • Earplugs worn under this earmuff are less comfortable than either alone
  • Additional attenuation from double protection is less than the sum of both NRR values
