As an example, imagine someone banging on aluminum pots with a metal spoon. Would this helmet protect my hearing compared to a motorcycle helmet, thanks.

It depends on the Motorcycle helmet. Full head that completely covers the ears, no - the ear area is open so you can hear what's going on around you. As for a helmet that does not cover the ears or uses a soft cover, it's probably about the same. Bottom line- This helmet is designed to allow the user to hear.

The sound is not affected by speed except for the fact that you will observe increased wind noise. Just crank it up a bit louder - the sound quality is ok, it beats dealing with headphone wires fighting with your helmet and safer than wearing headphones too.

Comfortable. Didn't use in a motorcycle helmet but I can' see a reason why this wouldn't be fine. I used mine doing construction work -all I could hear was music. The cord which connects the two buds wrapped over behind the ears and back around to the front of my neck. The fit was adjusted by tieing a poachers knot in the middle. If you are going to talk, you probably should wear a full helmet with sheild. Otherwise, should work great. I used to ride.

Dont ride motorcycles, so not sure if theyll block the motor noise, but they do totally seal your ear cavity and block most sound. For this reason I DONT use em while bicycling. Theyre real nice sound though.

Nothting is for sure, but logically from my engineering background anything that slows the rate of deceleration (any type of cushioning will work) will result in less force to the head, whether that is enough to prevent a concussion is unknown to me and has not been proven as far as I know.

I have not tested it with a decibel meter but it is not so loud as to be uncomfortable without hearing protection. I typically wear earplugs and safety glasses just to be on the safe side.

Not really. There is plenty of place to get hit. This armor is designed to protect parts like shoulder, chest, spine and elbows that usually get hurt in a motorcycle accident.

Yes it may. The kind thet is inserted would be no probleb at all.If you use the kind with a band & covers the ear the band would need to go aroundthe back of the head not over the top of the head. My shield works very well but I do not use hearing protection.At 82 it went some time ago.

I rode cross country on a HD Road glide using a modular helmet, flipped up, and had no problem talking to my wife. She liked it because the mike would pick up the music coming from my radio, and made it sound better.

Yes...I wear small metal frame glasses and they conform to the frames, w/o pushing them noticeably to your head. The soft ear muffs rest gently on the frames.

I used velcro to attach them inside a 3/4 face motorcycle helmet with no problem. I've also found using a small Fiio headphone amplifier makes quite a difference in the quality of the sound.

We use the mask to spar with training weapons, mostly shinai (bamboo "swords"). It protects well but I have thought of wearing earplugs because the head strikes make my ears ring. We do not strike at full strength. We do not do open hand or gloved sparring with it (I referred to it as a "grater" once when I made incidental skin contact).

I would email Fagor. My personal reaction is No. I do not use metal implements in microwave. Metal is a wave shield and sparking raises my blood-pressure.

Yes. I wear them on motorcycle to protect hearing more and also to cut out wind noise. I have Not tried gold filters yet but the silver filters do well. I even wear these when I have on a full face (modular helmet) on very windy days for longer trips and at the gas stops I can still carry on conversation but can't tell if other riders at pump 20' behind are talking about me or not. :) LOL!

Shooting ranges might not know these provide adequate hearing protection. They may want you to wear more familiar mufflers or plugs. The same way they will put magnet to check a bimetal hollow point. Then claim it cannot be fired there due to have iron or steel in the bullet. Even though its a hollow point and won't damage the targets. A combination of ignorance and inflexibility.

Sure. Helmets made for equestrian use cover more of the head's surface, so they are actually better than bike-riding helmets. Just don't wear a bicycle helmet while riding a horse.

Yes, it will do a great job even without helmet. But, isn't it dangerous since you can't hear the traffic and horns?
