Is NRR 33 the highest level of noise-blocking available?

Yes. We have seen some people using both earplugs and ear muffs together for ultimate silence. However that means that you can't hear anything at all and that can be dangerous all by itself. C2CSAFETY ships same day with the fastest delivery.

I would say they block about 90% of outside noise. However when listening to it loud people next to you will hear your music. For the money you can't beat these headphones.

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)

It helps, not total blockage, I have it coming from my utility room to the kitchen it softens the noise. better than nothing. I wish it were made better

There are three different protection levels.When I am rıding motorcycle I am usıng high protection level.İt's blocking too much external sounds.

I have used these many times on airplanes. They block out a significant amount of the noise. I put on soft music at a very low volume and sleep soundly...or just turn on the noise cancellation circuitry and block out the constant whoosh of the aircraft flying through the air. I gave a pair to one of my sons who travels a lot and he now swears by them.

Here's a discussion of A,B,C weighting. C is best for high noise levels. http://www.hearforever.org/tools-to-learn/sound-source-a-and-c-weighted-noise-measurements

The loudest setting may block it out. Guess it depends on how loud the construction noise is?

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

I use the SMH10 which uses similar ear speakers and mic. My bike is a softail standard with windshield. A lot of wind noise is more the issue then the loud pipes. My best results are obtained with a helmet that has a face shield. With that setup all functions were significantly better then usable. With the face shield up on the helmet then wind noise became the issue at hwy speeds.

The frequencies that can penetrate barriers are low frequencies like trucks, stomping, bass drum. Crickets are rather mid-high-frequency and will probably be blocked out very effectively.

Yes! There are three noise level settings and also a real time and a delay time

The noise blocking is absolutely superb. They work great in even the noisiest of environments.

The Syllable G08 does an excellent job of noise suppression. Overall it is a good value. The only negative is the excessive bass.But that is tolerable.

I don't live close enough to an airport to know for sure, but I can tell you that it absolutely blocks out the noise of a fleet of snowploughs and snowblowers clearing the street in front of my house, so my best guess would be "yes". Not all settings would work well for this, of course. I find the "rainfall" and "brook" settings best for blocking out random noises, while other settings like "train" or "meadow" seem better for situations where you just need soothing sounds to help you relax. I have not tried other noise machines (other than our summertime, window-mounted air conditioner), so I can't offer a meaningful comparison with other products. I hope this helps with your decision.

One side is good for total noise cancellation to a point, I think this is 33 DB. The other side is good for sudden noises, like gunfire.
