Overview

When noise is a constant on the job, the 3M Peltor X5A earmuffs deliver a thoughtful blend of protection and comfort. Built around a dielectric wire headband, these over‑the‑head earmuffs are designed for environments where electrical considerations matter, while the earcups tilt to dial in your preferred fit.
