Tools and Hardware Reviews of Peltor M2RX7A Alert AM/FM Radio Headset
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this set to be very impressive. The noise blocking is outstanding to say the least. Along with the built in radio sure makes yard work a pleasure while running landscaping equipment a couple hours per week.
What I found very impressive is the active surround sound. When turned off, you are completely isolated from all sounds around you. When you turn on the surround sound, you actually hear everything as if you were not wearing this unit and actually louder as it will amplify slightly, but you you have full volume control for that as well.
I find the radio to perform very well. I believe those that complained in other reviews around the web were probably in areas with a lot of buildings or structures which would tend to cause that. Out in the open, I never experience static once a station is tuned in.
Now If radio commercials drive you mad, then here's a simple fix. I purchased the audio cable that allows attachment of other audio devices such as a scanner or external mp3 player, etc and I also purchased a Create Labs Stone mp3 player. this is a very tiny mp3 player which holds 2 gig of data. I then took some velcro and attached it to the outside of these ear protectors over the battery cover.
Since the player is only 2 inches long and .5 inches wide and weighs just over 1/2 ounce, its not intrusive at all. The cable can then be bundled up and out of the way.
I highly recommend this headset. Even if you don't run power equipment much or work in a noisy environment that long, they are still a pleasure to wear just for the radio (and mp3 player attached)
Just a side note: This does not come with the audio cable (FL6N) I purchased mine from [...] for the best pricing I could find, $[...] at the time I write this.
UPDATE:
I ordered the FL6N audio cable in order to use my mp3 player. This worked fine but the plug on the headset didn't seem to provide a solid connection. With no way to avoid the static and interruption due to the poor connection, I requested a replacement and hope it was a simple defect on this particular item. I will update my findings when I receive the replacement.
Replacement Received:
Just got the replacement from Amazon. Outstanding customer support to say the least. Anyway, this copy has no issues with the external audio jack connection and all is wonderful!
