[Shop-talk] BT headphones

[Brian and Wendy Warrick]

I second Tom on the Axil GS Extreme 2.0. Same experience. I use them for shooting, no experience with sustained noise like mowing the lawn.

Moose,

I use these for shooting and really like them.  GS Extreme 2.0 Earbuds for Shooting – AXIL (goaxil.com)<https://goaxil.com/products/gx-extreme>  They connect to my phone via Bluetooth, so I get all of the audio capability of the phone delivered to them, including music, if you want, and phone ringing and text notifications.  These also amplify sound when not cancelling noise so you can hear what's going on around you without taking them out.  The one caveat I will point out is while they are really good at quickly reacting to periodic loud noises, like gunshots, I have never used them to reduce stained noise and I don't know how they would handle that.  I have an old school pair of 3M muffs for sustained noise like yard work that work well, but mine are older and do not connect to my phone.

Braintrust-

I am looking for a pair of heading protection that can link to a cell phone.

Here is what I am looking for.  If I am weed wacking or running a mower, I want something to protect what is left of my hearing, HOWEVER, will ring if I get a phone call.

Note, I don't need to be able to answer or talk on the phone with them on, just something that will let me know if I'm getting a phone call.  Playing music from my phone isn't needed, but I guess it would be possible once connected.

The problem is that every headphone I see is made to play music, I just want to make sure it will ring if I get a call.  None of the ads mention if they can or not.

I don't care if they are muff types or buds (I would prefer buds if they work as good as muffs.)

Active noise canceling is highly preferred.

So, does anyone have any suggestions?  Any thing you are happy with?

Note, I'll pay whatever price for a good set.

Thanks.

Moose
