🎧 A few months ago my friend @rameerez brought those massive 3M construction headphones my dad would use while sawing things etc. but for working on his laptop while his gf would do calls. I wondered about the same thing. Because I've been consistently UNIMPRESSED by the noise cancelling on even the best NC headphones. My favorite ones are Sony WH's series, they're apparently one of the strongest noise cancelling in dB but to me I still hear everything, especially if I don't play any music on them. Same with Apple's Airpods, the noise cancellation is nice but it's still not dead silent. Construction headphones of course don't have electronic noise cancelling, their noise cancelling is old-fashioned, it's passive, and it works! It should work because millions of construction workers use them every day all over the world to not blast their ears out from loudness. So they should work for us right? I ordered the 3M construction headphones too and used them for a bit but then I missed listening podcasts and music. So I discovered 3M makes these with Bluetooth called: 3M WorkTunes Connect (not affiliated, not paid, just like the product) Now, big thing, when ordering them I knew the sound wouldn't be great. The predecessor of these were 3M headphones with an FM radio! So I was expecting FM quality audio. When I got them I was surprised, I'm NOT going to say the audio is great, but it's not bad either. It's by far good enough for listening podcasts, and pretty okay for listening music. It does sound a bit tinny. Again not GREAT, but it's better than I expected. And good enough for me when I'm working and want to focus. They're also way more comfortable than I expected. The regular 3M construction headphones feel quite tight around you ears, while these feels comfy. More comfy to me than the too loose Sony WH's. They're also cheap, about $95, so about 4x cheaper than Sony WH's. One thing that I checked is the dB reduction vs the electronic NC headphones, they seem to offer similar dB reductions, but in my experience that's just false, maybe cause the construction headphones are tighter but I literally hear nothing wearing them even when I'm not playing sound! The noise cancelling to me is easily 1.5x to 2x better than electronic NC headphones. It's so strong I can hear my blood flowing. Obviously they look quite rugged, but I feel that fits kinda with the time. Which guys wants to wear those girly Sony or Apple NC headphones when you can wear these manly 3M construction headphones? 😀
