Another thing about the x5's is that they allow for airpords. So with the airpod pros, I have noise cancellation active, along with the protection of the x5.

Your airpods pros fit fine inside the X5's? I've got the regular Apple earpods with the cord, and on my Champion earmuffs, the stem of the earpods goes into the foam. Been thinking of getting a smaller earpod like something small with a tiny cord that goes around the back of your neck like Beats. Thanks.

@@colt5189 yeah. It does compress the foam a little but they do fit. Samsung makes smaller earpieces too, but I don’t know if their noise canceling works on an apple device.

Good review, thanks!

thanks you helped me a lot

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at differences between the 3M earmuffs. You mention the 105 have a "double wall design". Are the 105 supposed to be newer than the X5A? I really wish it was easy to see which are the newer models. But based on your review, I'll probably just go with the X5A since I want as much noise blocked as possible.

for large ears, should I choose Optime 105 or Optime 95? or the size is the same?. I can't find Optime 98 in my country, I also read X5A is not suitable for large ears, so my left option is Optime 105 and Optime 95. Thank you.

Thank you!!!!!

Thanks 👍

This is extremely useful. Thank you. I was lent some ear muffs last year. I am hyperaesthesic with eyesight and hearing. They were great for close sounds, but paradoxically I still could hear further away sounds (like 50m upwards away) too loudly, so I'm trying to find protection that defends me from both close and far-away sounds as much.

How to use with glass?

You can either put the glass on and then the earmuffs, which hurts if the glass' sticks aren't flat; or put the earmuffs on and then slide the glass into the muffs (they won't be sitting on your ears, but the pression of the muffs will hold them), which will possibly hurt but less. Specifically for the X5A, you could also purchase very expensive gel cups (HY80; or you could buy unofficial ones, but at your own risk for compatibility issues) which have better sealing and make wearing glass more comfortable. The H10A 105 is not compatible with the HY80 gel cups even if some people found workarounds.

Do you think I could block the neighbor's dogs who keep barking all the time if I wear any of those?

Yes. I use h10a 105 at work (heavy machinery operator) and it works great. :)

You need a 9mm for your neighbours dog.

105 has prop 65 warning which might be why it's cheaper. "3M does not label the Peltor X5A Over-the-Head Earmuffs with a California Proposition 65 warning and does not believe it is appropriate for this product. To the best of 3M Personal Safety Division’s knowledge, the 3M PELTOR X5A Earmuffs are in compliance with Proposition 65, and reasonably anticipated use of the product will not result in exposure to any Proposition 65 chemicals that would require a Proposition 65 warning."
