Elvex COM-655 Electronic Non-Foldable Ear Muffs with Impulse Filter & 3.5mm Audio Input Jack, 25 dB NRR, Weight: 12.8 oz.

by Elvex

Product Features

• The communications features allow you to have close range communications in select continuous noise environments. The microphones on the outside of the ear muffs "listen to" the environment and can amplify weak sounds, and the gain limiter suppresses sounds exceeding 82 dB.
• Frequencies below 400 Hz and above 4,000 Hz are not processed and therefore the speech to noise ratio can be improved in many continuous noise environments.
• An impulse (or impact) filter electronically eliminates impulse sounds by closing down the circuitry in four milliseconds, and opening the circuitry againin about 1/4 second (in order to prevent echo effect). The gun shots are eliminated, but the shooting instructor can still be heard.
• An audio jack (3.5 mm jack) for connection of MP3 players and radios is standard. This jack willprovide listen-only capability (not two way communications). You can hear both the auxiliary device and Com-655.
• Com-655 uses two 1.5 Volt AAA batteries. Batteries are included. The headset will operate for approximately 175 hours on one set of batteries, under normal circumstances. Reception is stereophonic.

Product Description

Elvex Level Dependent muff uses the same technical components and features (including impulse filter) as Elvex Com-550, but the electronics is tuned for continuous industrial noise, and the muff is a non foldable construction

I am very impressed with these muffs. I like to shoot. I have used inexpensive muffs and found that they did not provide adequite protection. So that even though their electronics did what they were designed to do, my ears still took a beating. I have also used high end muffs that cost twice as much as these, and found that they really did nothing more for me than the Elvex muffs. They are comfortable, the sound reproduction is good, the electronics produce no background noise (hiss), and they have the audio plug. They are a good value for the money.

I'm very disappointed in this product. My 50 cent earplugs are far superior in blocking outside noise. I actually bought these to listen to music while on the mower. I thought that with the audio jack it would be perfect. The audio jack is absolutely horrible. With no outside noise, I can barely hear the music, even with my iPod's volume up all the way. When I plug in my cheap $2 headphones into my iPod, the music is loud and clear with the volume up only halfway. So, I know it's this product's audio jack that's worthless. All in all, a really bad deal. I had high hopes for this too.
