Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've owned and used (heavily) both 3M Peltor's Optime 105 and Ultimate 10 earmuffs. Those both do an equally great job and have a high rating for protection that is proven. After 3 years of using those two, I was ecstatic to see the X-Series X5A on the market as an upgrade in their ear protection line. These earmuffs are very well designed and constructed with premium materials compared to the Optime 105 and Ultimate 10's construction. They are more snug, more comfortable and most importantly, they provide a higher level of protection that is seriously noticeable. I'll never go back, as this pair of earmuffs is unquestionably worth its salt. Experience: Full-time major airline Ramp Agent. Very highly recommended!
