Dr.meter Ear Muffs for Noise Reduction Noise Cancelling Headphones

The 'Dr.meter Hearing Protection Ear Muffs, 28dB Noise Reduction Safety Earmuffs' are among the best-priced options in their segment, available for around Rs. 1200, and they deliver solid performance. They are comfortable and durable, and after two months of use, I have no complaints. While some reviews mention a smaller size, I found them to fit normally on my average-sized head. These earmuffs block about 40-45% of noise. To further enhance noise reduction by an additional 40-45%, I suggest pairing them with basic earplugs like the '3M 1100,' which cost less than Rs. 20 per pair. However, it's important to note that about 5-10% of noise will still get through, no matter the combination. For those interested in the '3M 1100' earplugs, after two months of use, I found that they reduce noise by about 40-50% and are reusable. I bought a pack of 20 pairs, and each pair lasted roughly three weeks with daily use. They are easy to clean with mild soap if they get dirty, and each pair is individually packaged, with an MRP of Rs. 18.

Value for money

I was a little hesitant on purchasing this as the promotional pictures make it look like it is child-sized, but it has a great adjustability that even large-headed adults can wear it. The adjusting option is not on the main black band (like on headphones) but on the 2 metal "arms" on the sides of each muff. I live near an area where religious processions happen on weekends and the building right next to me is undergoing construction, and this was a great relief. I purchased another one for my sister as soon as I realised how good mine was. For even more sound blocking, it can be used with those orange foam earmuffs/puffs under this. Bonus, if you want to listen to something on your device while blocking external sounds, earphones that are small can perfectly fit under it—though for wired ones, you'll have to make sure the wire won't get damaged, and for wireless ones, I'm not sure if the Bluetooth/connectivity remains unaffected by the thick muffs (I use wired ones and take care to not damage them). TL; DR—Amazing purchase, I don't regret it one bit as an adult.

Not suitable for study, It can even reduce talking noise of fellow person, Some one watching reels beside you will be very much noticable - 30-40% noise reduction. Fit is medium, for long faces is just doing job done Comfort ok Weight ok High priced

Good product but don't expect too much

IF YOUR HEAD IS BIGGER THAN A KID'S HEAD, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. I LIKE THE ISOLATION, BUT SIZE IS VERY PROBLEMATIC

Overall, it's great, but it would be even better if there was an option to resize it to a larger size. While resizing is possible, it doesn’t go far enough for people with bigger heads like mine, making it feel a bit tight. That said, it's still excellent overall.

I bought this to reduce the sound of loud drilling and hammering from next-door construction in my study room. It reduces the sound to a large extent (I won't say the construction sound is completely gone, but it's much, much lesser, and sounds like it is coming from a distance, not next door.) Other sounds like fan, AC, chair dragging on floor, doorbell, someone speaking on the phone or TV in the next room, etc are completely shut out. The downside is the pressure on the head since it is meant to be tight-fit, but I think the noise reduction is worth the temporary discomfort. I think I will get used to it after some time.
