3M PELTOR Optime 98 Earmuffs H9A
The 3M PELTOR Optime 98 H9A is an over-the-head earmuff with a stainless steel headband. It is rated NRR 25 dB and recommended for time-weighted average noise up to 98 dBA, which covers most machine shops, assembly lines and maintenance work.
The cups have liquid and foam filled cushions that seal well over a full shift, and the pivot points tilt to fit different head shapes. The steel band resists bending and warping. 3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% when estimating real-world noise reduction. See all 3M ear protection.
