The main problem with wearing hearing protectors in a loud environment is that they are usually large and bulky on your head and when moving around can be rather inconvenient, especially if moving around in a tight environment where the tendency is to knock them loose or restrict your head movement, not to mention they can sometimes be a little too good at blocking out noise, leaving you unable to detect essential sounds and possibly compromising your safety as a result. Isotunes latest offering does away with these problems as these Bluetooth-enabled bad boys are in-ear! No more big, bulky headsets for you, time for a more streamlined hearing protector.
The sound that gets through to your ears is capped at 82dB’s max but you can adjust the amplification level to suit your needs meaning you’re still able to hear everything around you, just at a lower volume. In this respect it works in a similar way to a hearing aid, transferring outside noises to your ear at a volume that works for you and, with a transference speed of just 2 milliseconds, there is no noticeable lag. As well as this, if the noise level reaches 85dB’s or higher, the protectors just block it out, ensuring your hearing safety.
The battery life is good at about 10 hours and the charging case is good for 2 full charges before it needs recharging itself and you get 6 ear-bud tips included in the box. Fairly standard stuff but you also get a removable boom-mic that stores neatly in the charging case so you can ensure your voice is clearly heard when making calls. It does reduce the IP rating to 56 from 67 when in use but this should hardly be a problem for the short period of time you’re likely to be using it. RRP £239.99
