Peltor Optime III construction ear protection

I find noice very distracting when I work

Not only when I work but also when I read, and sometimes when I live. Instead of spending thousands sound proofing a room, just sound proof your ears! It's portable too, you can bring them on vacation or into a coffee shop to do some work there.

Which ones should I get?

If you think this is a good idea, you should get the EM Peltor Optime III. They should cost you about 20 USD on Amazon (24 EUR do to VAT). There are a lot of off brand versions on Amazon, I have only bought one and the comfort on the 3M is much higher than the off brand version I tried.

In terms of confort, there are a lot of factors to get right:

  • Pressure on your head
  • How soft the cushions are
  • Whether you get pressure on your inner ear

3M has dialed these things in, for a cheap price. Use that to your advantage and get their product.
