Peltor X2 Headband Ear Protectors SNR 31dB for Superior Hearing Protection

Peltor X2 Headband: Advanced Hearing Protection with Superior Comfort

Superior Noise Attenuation
The Peltor X2A earmuffs are designed to offer robust noise attenuation with an SNR of 31 dB, making them suitable for a range of industrial settings. Whether working in manufacturing, construction, or other noisy environments, these earmuffs ensure that users' hearing is adequately protected. The earmuffs provide specific attenuation ratings as follows:

• High (H): 33 dB
• Medium (M): 28 dB
• Low (L): 19 dB

These ratings demonstrate the earmuffs' ability to protect against a variety of noise levels, making them versatile for different applications.

Ergonomic and Lightweight Design
One of the standout features of the Peltor X2A is its ergonomic design. The wire headband offers consistent pressure, ensuring a secure fit even during prolonged use. The headband is electrically insulated, also known as "dielectric," to enhance safety in low voltage environments (less than 440 V AC). Additionally, the earcup pivot points tilt, allowing for optimal comfort and efficiency. This thoughtful design reduces fatigue and enhances the overall user experience, making it easier to wear the earmuffs for extended periods.

Electrically Insulated for Enhanced Safety
The dielectric design of the Peltor X2A headband earmuffs is particularly important for users working in environments with electrical hazards. The metal components are covered with non-conductive material, providing protection against low voltage electrical hazards. The earmuffs have been evaluated in an external laboratory, where the leakage current did not exceed 1.2mA when in contact with an electrical source. Users should assess the product's suitability for their specific applications, considering any additional hazards.

Practical Considerations for Noise Reduction
While the Peltor X2A provides significant noise reduction, it is important to note that the NRR may overestimate the actual hearing protection in typical use. 3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% for a more accurate estimate of the protection provided. This adjustment helps ensure that users achieve the desired level of noise attenuation in real-world conditions.

Conclusion
The 3M Peltor X2 Headband earmuffs offer a unique combination of high-level noise attenuation, ergonomic design, and enhanced safety features. Ideal for low-to-moderate industrial noise environments, these earmuffs provide reliable hearing protection without compromising comfort. By choosing the Peltor X2A, professionals can ensure their hearing is protected, allowing them to focus on their tasks with confidence and comfort.
