Peltor X1 Headband Ear Protectors SNR 27dB for Reliable Hearing Protection

Peltor X1 Headband: Advanced Hearing Protection for Low-Level Noise

Effective Noise Reduction
The Peltor X1 Headband earmuffs provide a Single Number Rating (SNR) of 27 dB, ensuring reliable attenuation of low-level industrial noise. With detailed attenuation ratings, the earmuffs effectively cover a wide range of frequencies:

• Noise Reduction Rating (NRR): 22 dB
• CSA Class A

These ratings demonstrate the earmuffs' capability to reduce noise exposure, making them suitable for various industrial environments.

Innovative Design and Comfort
The X1A earmuffs feature an electrically insulated wire headband, commonly referred to as "dielectric." This design ensures consistent pressure over extended wearing periods, enhancing comfort and usability. The headband's dielectric properties provide added safety when working in low voltage electrical environments (less than 440 V AC), as the metal components are covered with non-conductive material.

The earmuffs also incorporate earcup pivot points that tilt for optimal comfort and efficiency. This feature allows for a customized fit, reducing pressure points and ensuring prolonged comfort, even during extended use.

Lightweight and Low-Profile
The Peltor X1A is designed with a low-profile and lightweight structure, making it ideal for continuous use without causing discomfort. This design ensures compatibility with other personal protective equipment (PPE), allowing users to maintain comprehensive protection without compromising on ease of use.

Safety and Compliance
While there are no specific standards for testing earmuffs against electrical insulating properties, the Peltor X1A has been evaluated by an external laboratory using a modified test method. During assessment, the leakage current did not exceed 1.2mA when the earmuffs' external surface contacted an electrical source. Users should assess the overall suitability of this product for their intended applications, considering any hazards beyond noise for which the product is tested.

It's important to note that the NRR may overestimate the actual hearing protection provided during typical use. 3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% for a more accurate estimate of noise reduction.

Conclusion
The 3M Peltor X1 Headband earmuffs offer a state-of-the-art solution for protecting against low-level industrial noise. With advanced design features, including a dielectric wire headband and pivoting earcups, these earmuffs ensure optimal comfort and efficiency. Their lightweight, low-profile design makes them a practical choice for various industrial applications, while their reliable noise reduction capabilities help maintain a safe and productive work environment. By choosing the Peltor X1A, users can experience enhanced hearing protection without sacrificing comfort or safety.
