Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor 97044 Tactical 6S Active Volume Hearing Protector
Customer Review: Not as good as advertised
Summary: 1 Stars
Got the hearing protector and read the instructions to install the batteries. What a PITA to get apart. Installed the batteries on each side and the left side is fair but the right side does not work. I emailed the comapny and have not heard back. Save you money and get something else.Customer Review: Not bad for the price.
Summary: 3 Stars
They work as described but get hot after a while. Also the batteries are pain to put in/change out.Customer Review: Not for long term use
Summary: 3 Stars
These muffs work great for shooting and other short term uses. The electronics work well, allowing you to hear conversations and other low volume sounds while blocking loud noises. The spring steel headband holds the earpieces tightly, perhaps too tightly. After wearing them for a day of working with a chain saw it felt like I had had my head in a vice. I tried them again a week later with the same resulting headache. I don't use them now for anything that requires more than about 15 minutes of continuous wear.Customer Review: OK but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
The fit and function is OK but the electronics are open to moisture if you sweat.Customer Review: One large flaw in the design
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like the Peltor hearing protectors and they work great. They fit better than some other brand that I have. However the one bad drawback to the design is that the batteries are very difficult to get into. One must pry off the ear pad then replace the batteries underneat. I cannot do it with my fingers alone because the flange nearly cuts into my skin. I must use a screw driver. Surely there is a better design. I hate this about them. If one has arthritis, you can't do it. I have lost some muscle strength after taking statins for cholesterol and I cannot do it with my fingers.
