Hey guys, my old headphones are just about worn out. Looking for a new ones, just trying to find ones not too tight as I am a big guy, and most fit too tight. I am not a fan of ear buds for hearing protection.

Any ideas?

I wear these...

3M Worktunes Connect

I wear a hat with sunglasses and these do not pinch or get tight at all.

I wear a size 7 1/4" hat if that helps.

I use these for mowing:

Soundcore Life Q20

I need to get me some as well. Any of these have active noise canceling options? Like shooting headphones?

The Soundcore does. Works pretty good.

I do not prefer noise cancelling headphones.
My head is on a swivel at all times.

Tye active ones used for shooting are good for that, they can actually amplify your surrounding noises while cutting out the sounds that are loud enough to hurt your hearing .


I am aware you know this…

I’ll look into those

Yes, I am either earplugs for situations like that, or the enclosure type ear sound protectors.

But, for listening to music, noise cancelling headphones.....That's a no from me dawg.

I have Beats, both types. I prefer the noise canceling muffs to work in.

I have to turn the music up loud because, I've always turned the music up loud.

Sony has some with ambient sound. A lot more expensive. I don't care for the sound quality for the $$$.

What if I want to mow my lawn and not look like a complete goober while doing it?

we know what rj suggests.

I am on my second pair of ZVOX,first pair flew away without me,best noise cancelling blue tooth head phones I have had,I work in a very high noise environment and they just make everything flat,I can be one gate away from a running aircraft and hear my tunes just fine.

Over the ear or ear buds? I seen the earbuds on amazon for $20

I use ISOTunes Link. Over the ear with built in hearing protection.

They are over the ear head phones,they run a couple of hundred new but you can find refurb for 60-70 dollars.I have tried the Bose and like the ZVOX better,but I already have severe hearing loss.

I had some Bose Sport ear buds that were great. Sounded awesome and never fell out of my ears. My wife lost them so I just bought a pair of $50 Amazon earbuds. Seem to do okay.

Bose noise - canceling over the ear rechargeable (USB cable) are what I have used since I purchased them almost 10 years ago.

Transatlantic flights, lawn tractor, and indoor shooting range they work. I already have moderate to severe hearing loss and I enjoy my Bose

These? Heckuva deal right now

Wear the headphones only, no safety glasses and hard hat.

^^^IEMs

Be careful though—the drivers are right next to your ear canal; so risk of tinnitus and other hearing damage increases.

They do sound glorious though…you get precision, accuracy, and individual instrument separation for $50 you don’t see until you get into the $400 headphone range.
