Bluetooth headphones/earbuds

[Caver Dave]

I have 2 different sets for 2 different jobs. I use these for work (answering phone when driving and working)

Amazon product ASIN B07DMDD776
And these for when I'm mowing or operating equipment

Amazon product ASIN B0723CYHPZ

I skipped all the replies.

But I love my 3M WorkTunes Bluetooth. They are amazing.

I wear them all the time.

I have the 3m work tunes also. Battery seems to last a really long damn time. And they are really comfortable

Put me down as another WorkTunes fanboi... a little warm in the summer,but fit over my toboggans/caps in the winter.
Have logged several hundred hours with them. IIRC, I've changed the batteries (AA) 2-3 times...
First couple of times my wife called while I was mowing/music interrupted/started beeping freaked me out

Mine are rechargable, I didn't even know they made one with a battery

How long does a typical charge last?

Usually 12 hrs or so, it'll last a full days work plus till about lunch the next day. I generally charge them in my truck over night though. Pretty sure they're rated at 14 hrs or some where in that realm. That was the biggest selling point to me because most only have 4-6 hrs of battery life and that would be annoying af come lunch time.

I ordered a set of these today because of this thread.....hoping if the safety guy ask I can pass them as safety rated. Otherwise our company prohibits ear buds for the production floor. Being maintenance we sorta may bend a few rules, mostly operating anything and everything and spewing specific profanity. Wondering if ear buds fall in the same category of asking if an operator is brain dead or stupid after crashing a machine.


Questions specifically. Can't get in trouble if it's a question instead of a accusation.

They are osha rated ear plugs I pulled the same thing at my old work, if you break rules with enough conviction and confidence it usually isn't questioned.

They are osha rated rear plugs I pulled the same thing at my old work

Wow, glad I don't work where you did if they required osha rated rear plugs.

rear plugs

I use these for mowing and mildly loud stuff at home. The noise cancelling sorta works and they hold a charge for a good while for a cheap pair. The only thing I don't like is the noise cancelling stays on when you switch it on. Even when they are off.

These things came in today. I just got home from a 14hr. day. These things seem pretty dang decent. Van Morrison sounds pretty good in em right now.

My old iPhone 6 has gotten to where it won’t connect to LTE at times while my wife’s 6plus will have 3 bars. I ordered a nice used 8 and as I understand it, it has no 1/8th jack. This one comes with Apple ear buds so I will have to get used to them and not lose them.

I have a set of BT buds my wife bought me a couple of years ago that go around the ear, I may have to dig them up. The Apple buds look like they could easily join my Knipex long side cutters and be lost in the woods or a pasture never to be seen again.

no 1/8th jack

They make a-dapters for that, fyi

Ahhhh! I see, I prefer wired so I will get Amazon to work pulling me one.

Ahhhh! I see, I prefer wired so I will get Amazon to work pulling me one.

FWIW they work just fine as long as you dont have to charge at the same time.

If you just want normal apple ear buds witht he lightening end, we probably have 6 or 7 sets in junk drawers around here.
