hi, anyone use safety earmuffs with audio input?

i've tried to put earmuffs over the stereo earplugs, but it just doesn't work

or can i get some good headphones from jb hifi which will cut blower/mower noise and let me hear the radio

cheers, johnny

I have the same, from the same guy. Had one pair stop working after about 4 weeks. Sent them back and they sent new ones. I actually bought an extra pair to save shipping.

If Im listening to tunes off my iphone, the call mutes the tunes, then volume comes back after hanging up. Same with message notifications.

I love the iphone. Id be lost without it. I have Macs so easy to pair everything, keep contacts and Calendar all sorted. Cal and Contact changes done on the phone out in the field get sent to home Mac automatically. I love that! I dont carry my phone with me all the time, just on larger properties where reception is poor on the Muffs. Otherwise I leave it in the ute.

I was just in an Optus shop today finding out about upgrading. They said if you have 3 mths or less left on the contract, I can get the new iPhone 4 for free. But I want to downgrade my contract so would have to pay something like $250. I'll look more into that at some stage and evaluate the costs/savings. Im not in any hurry but not a bad deal I reckon. They told me 6 to 8 weeks wait on the iphone anyway.

Have a look at these two sites.
www.bigearinc.com and www.earmold.com.au
I have a pair of the Earmold plugs and they are terrific. I originally got them for when I go Mortorcycle riding but now use them for work as well.

They can be expensive but seem to last. I have had mine now for about 2 years. :megaphone

I wouldn't mind using mine with that too but the missus would probably cut sick

Glenn was nice enough to reply

Thanks for contacting me.
No this is the price.
It is for our OZ product.
It has 2 transducers with a passive crossover and electronic hearing protection that you can turn up the out side sound 30 times to hear whispers or game a distance away.
It is a great product.


Thank you,
Well that just blew my ears off
