What a great video. I saw these at a gun show and what really came to mind is using these in my Polaris side by side. My wife lost hearing in her left ear years ago. With the wind noise, engine noise and being seated to her left, I have to pretty much scream at her so she can hear me. I see these as a win win for us. Not only will it protect her good ear, but will allow us to talk while riding without breaking the bank. The other benefit is of course now I will have 2 more shooting muffs for the range. Thank you so much for doing this video. I really appreciate it.

David , you can also purchase handheld ham radios that are easily programed to these same FRS channels and extend the range of these Muffs to 5 miles or more in open country. They sell the handheld UV9R-Plus " waterproof and rugged " for around $35-$40.00. software is free .

Have you used these with tractors? Same thing I was interested in them for, but I was worried about the engine noise not being sharp enough to engage the noise cancelling. Pretty pointless in they just end up amplifying the ambient noise instead.
