Comfortable+ Great sound quality!
Super easy to use, comfortable on my big head, heard details on some of my favorite music that I didn’t know was even there (due to the excellent sound). Tired of having to pause my music when I needed to use the saw, drill press, or shop vac. I learned about these on Stumpy Nubs woodworking videos on You-Tube. Got them a few weeks ago and spent all weekend wearing them listening to music while building cabinets. One review commented the sound wasn’t loud enough ( my experience was the opposite) I listened to my favorite Iron Maiden albums at the lowest setting and it was crystal clear! Maybe I bumped it up a Notch while using the shop vac, but plenty loud. The battery lasts well too (pro tip: at the end of the day turn them off while wearing them and you’ll hear a friendly voice say “power off”, that way your earphones aren’t trying to connect with your phone all night. (It’s just going to help keep the charge). If you’re going to use them on the weekend, just charge them overnight on Friday and you’ll be set. Of course if you walk away from your phone (like maybe the other side of the house or somewhere far, they’ll disconnect, so just pause the song or pick up your phone. Great product, super glad I bought them!

Very comfortable, good sound quality, decent isolation and battery life
These are VERY comfortable earmuffs and the sound quality is quite good compared to the Etymotics that I usually listen to. The isolation is decent - comparable to 3M Peltor Optime 98, but actually even more comfortable - and the Optime 98 are already regarded as one of the most-comfortable earmuffs on the market.The 3.5mm input jack also permits these to operate as passive headphones.I also bought IsoTunes Link (not 2.0) earmuffs. In comparison:The Air Defender is far more comfortable and has much better sound quality, plus a 3.5mm input, but doesn't fold.The Link folds more compact, can use AAA batteries, is lower profile, and provides better isolation while moving around, whereas the Air Defenders can sometimes let sound leak in while I'm moving.Overall, the IsoTunes Air Defender is what I now reach for when I just want to listen to music or podcasts with some sound isolation. They're great for the gym.When I'm mowing the lawn, I still use in-ear Etymotic headphones with foam tips and Howard Leight L3 ear muffs over top for better isolation.

No Noise
I do a lot of woodworking and I get a lot of loud noise from my equipment. These are great for noise deduction and being able to listen to music while using the equipment. They also allow me to hear my phone ring since I am Bluetooth through my phone for the music l am listening to. Down side is that although I can answer my phone by simply pushing a button on the side of the headphones you have make sure you turn off the machines to be able to talk to who has called you. The headphones are comfortable but at a certain point I do have to remove them for a while because eventually they will become uncomfortable do to weight.

Best fit and connectivity so far.
Love these when mowing and working in my wood shop! I have tried a couple of the other ISO tune in ear devices but I can't get them to stay in my ear for true noise reduction. I have also used other brands that could not maintain bluetooth connectivity.

Poor quality and volume higher than 90+ dB
I wanted to love these, but had to return them. The sound quality is poor ... and it will allow you to increase the volume of the music/static to over 90+ dB levels.I am a safety professional who wanted to wear while cutting grass. I will just keep increasing the sound to drown out the mower noise ... which I know is dangerous so I bought these. Total fail. I only tried inside.I may have to try another brand or ISOtunes verision.

Works great
Very comfortable, much better than the other construction-style ear protection. Even with me having poor hearing, the volume limit is not a problem as I don't even need to go near the max to hear over power tools. I would recommend to anyone.

Really Disappointed
Great quality and super lite weight. Fit and comfort are top notch. Unfortunately the sound quality is really bad. Even at low volume the sound was distorted almost like the speakers were blown. At full volume, it was horrible. I purchased these right away because I already have two other Isotunes products. I've had the original Link headphones and the Link 2.0 for the past several years and they have been flawless. I wanted something more lite weight with top padding so I figured these would fit the bill. I ended up returning and I'll use what I have for this season.

Decent hearing protection but not very durable
I've had these for less than 2 months now. They work well. They limit outside noise better than most ear muffs I've had. The Bluetooth pairs quickly with my phone and the sound quality is not bad. For working in my wood-shop they get loud enough to hear the music over any of the tools.They just don't seem all the durable. I just dropped them for the first time. Both of the foam muffs popped off and there is now something lose and rattling around inside them. It wasn't much of a drop, less than 3 feet. For something that is supposed to be used in a work shop I would expect more durability. I have dropped my last set of ear muffs countless times and nothing has fallen off or broken. I was able to pop the foam parts back on and they haven't fallen off again.
