B3200 w/loader, Woods RC5 brush hog, 4' box blade, tooth bar, B1700 MMM,
I had been using a pair of my over the ear shooting earmuffs to drown out the noise of hogging. They have the capability to hook up music via a cable but the sound was not that good and I kept snagging the cable on stuff pulling them off or disconnecting the cable. In addition after a couple hours, they would always start to make my ears hurt. I'm not a big fan of the in the ear foam protectors for extended periods. They are good for going out and plinking, but for me that is about it.
I upgraded to a set of noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones, Sony XB950N1. They are over the ear and for me do a good job sealing out the outside world. I found them on sale at Best Buy a few weeks back so I picked them up to try them out.
After a couple mowing sessions wearing them, they are comfortable, with thicker ear pads and they go around my ears, not pinching or bending them. They sound great and do a good job blocking out the continuous drone of the tractor. They have a fair app that allows you to adjust the sound to what suits you (almost an EQ). No more worries about snagging a cable and flinging my phone somewhere, plus if someone calls I can stop and chat without fumbling for my phone.
