I really need background music when I'm working. Unfortunately, once I put hearing protection on to save my ears from shop noise, the only thing I can hear is myself thinking. And that's not always pretty. QuieTunes AM/FM Radio Earmuffs, $74.50, are a real lifesaver.
They're ear protecting muffs that reduce sound by 22 decibels, ample protection to save you from the damaging affects of shop noise, and they're also an AM/FM radio with an MP3 input port. Now I can listen to the radio while I work, or plug an MP3 player full of my favorite music into the muffs.
Sound quality from this product is excellent, and they're comfortable to wear for long periods. My only complaint is that the radio turner doesn't have any stations marked out on it. It's just a dial with a pointer. I got around this by marking out the locations of a couple of my favorite stations using a felt tip.
QuieTunes run on two AA batteries which, according to the manufacturer, will operate the muffs for up to 150 hours. A bonus feature that my forgetful brain really appreciates is that the device automatically shuts off after 4 hours.

Posted August 05, 2009 // 3:37 PM I have the A/O Safety version of these. I LOVE them for mowing & raking outside. I quit using in my woodshop the day I removed them, heard something running, turned around and saw my tablesaw spinning away.
