MotoGP™ Earmuffs

My previous protectors were so bulky...This one is does the job perfectly and it's easy to carry in my crewbag.

Very soft, lightweight, not too tight. They're easily adjustable to fit, and the headband is very soft and comfortable too. Works well to reduce noise (I wear them over foam earplugs for extra noise reduction). These aren't the highest level of noise reduction, but great for every day wear.

We had tickets to a Nascar race in September. Since I have Meniere's disease and am almost completely deaf in one ear, I am careful being around very loud noises. I bought these earmuffs and they were fantastic. I had zero problems at the race with the racing car noises bothering me or hurting my ears.

I was late diagnosed as autistic last year and since then I have looked for ways to help me deal with the very loud and distracting world around me. I’ve used ear plugs but I really don’t like how they feel in my ears. I had another pair of headphone-style ear defenders, but they didn’t really do the job and the headband made it look like I had a post-surgery headgear on — not the look I am going for. I have long been envious of Alpine’s Muffy ear protection for kids. They look like headphones and are smaller but still provide excellent ear protection. When I saw that Alpine sells these I hit Buy Now without even thinking. I have been using them for months now and I can honestly say these are my favorite, go-to ear defenders. I still carry my ear plugs just in case or for short-term use like in class, but these look and feel so good that I generally just have them with me anyway, so I pull them out. They fold up and can go in my backpack or my shoulder pack. They expand a good deal. I have a medium to large head, and they fit me fine at the smallest setting, though if I wear sunglasses then I do expand them a bit. With sunglasses on they do not hurt. I do find that if I am wearing sunglasses and I turn my head left or right I can hear more sound, but it’s not enough to cause alarm. I just have really sensitive hearing so I notice it. If I am not wearing sunglasses then this isn’t a problem. I can understand speech pretty well with them on, and especially if I am looking in the direction of the speaker. I will be taking them on a Disneyland trip this summer and I fully expect to be able to enjoy all the fun without any of the auditory sensory issues that I had last time.

While the 3M Peltor earmuffs are known for their noise attenuation, the Alpine Earmuffs do offer decent noise reduction, although it's not as high as some 3M Peltor series. However, the trade-off here is entirely expected, as the Alpine Earmuffs prioritize comfort and aesthetics without compromising on basic noise protection.One point worth noting, the band size of the Alpine Earmuffs is less adjustable compared to some 3M Peltor models. Overall still a 5 stars product.
