Alpine Defender Adult Earmuffs for Noise Reduction - Premium Noise Protection Headphones for Study, Focus, Work & Sensory Overload - Light-Weight Design - Adjustable Headband - All Day Comfort - 22dB

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.

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.

Fits and reduces the track noise while still allowing sound to come thru. I would have preferred a bit more db reduction for the price. They are lightweight wer comfortable to wear for the two hours of the race

Not super comfortable and doesn't work in an environment that uses speakers like concerts. Seems to makes certain sounds louder.Compact and easily foldable though.

Perfect fit.Works well, me son likes it.It's a replacement by the same brand product

Excellent product. Highly recommend it.

These are great for my sound sensitive pre-teen. This is the second pair I bought just to have an extra because sometimes I forget them somewhere. He wears them to school or in the car and they look very age appropriate like any kid does listening to music but he uses it to drown out noises. I found these because I saw another mom with a son that was wearing some on the Disneyland bus back to the hotel and I stopped her to ask her if she liked them and where she got them since they look way more low profile than all the other ones on the market. She highly recommended them and I’m so glad we have them! I also love them because these are the first pair of noise cancelling headphones he has been ever been able to tolerate, ever! The more common ones I’ve ordered or he has tried at schools and therapies just have too much pressure on his head. I’ve tried SO MANY different kinds, sizes and styles and these are THE ONLY ones he has ever tolerated. He wears them so often too. These have been a huge help and I’m so grateful I found them!

I received these some months back and today I'm really glad to have them. Landscapers have been doing tree work with chainsaws and grinders all day right outside my home, and these take the edge off the noise. Like others have said, they don't block it out, but they do reduce it enough so that I can function on a day like today. And they're pretty comfortable.
