Title: Hearing protection
Post by: Dakota Saw Dust on January 22, 2017, 03:19:54 pm
I like to listen to music when I scroll but the problem is the competing noise from my shop vac & the scroll saw itself. I've had my eye on ear protection which allows for both protection and music. Normally in the $77 plus price range, I haven't taken the plunge.  HOWEVER, Rockler.com ran a special after the first of the year and again today for "work tunes digital tune/MP3 head set (#25873) for 29.99 plus 7.99 shipping. I bought mine Dec.'16 and think they're GREAT.  I haven't hooked up my MP3 to it yet. MP3 player not included.They do included the required cable though. If this is of interest check them out.  Cheers Brian

Brian give us a good run down on them.  I have a whole shop air system that is not nearly as noisy as the shop vac however some of my other tools can be a bit overpowering at times.
