Yes. Same batteries in mine for 2 years. Left in unheated garage in ontarios snow belt. Used prob 2 times a week for 20 mins on average throughout the year. Great product

Sony XM6 are the best headphones out there and are made for long wear time. I have the XM5’s which are excellent. However, when I want true hearing protection, I go to my 3M Worktunes.

I have a pair of these and they’re great. I particularly like the water resistant feature and will use them when snow blowing rather than my Bose QC. Both noise cancellers work well so the decision really boils down to the possibility of moisture while I work.

Mine hold up just fine. I charge them sporadically and then hang them on the snowblower in a heated garage. The Bose generally live in the center console of my truck. Both hold up to the cold without issue. I usually do my driveway, sidewalks, hit a nice track in the backyard so the dogs can run around and chase each other, then head over to a neighbor’s house to do her driveway and sidewalks. I also make a nice path down the side of each house so a service tech can easily get to the exterior gas meter in case of emergency.

Interesting. I haven’t had an issue with mine and have owned them for multiple years. Perhaps a particular model was suspect? Glad you found something that works for you though. Having a connection constantly drop would be frustrating.

I've had the 3M Worktunes for a few years. I think I've only charged them a handful of times. It takes me 1-2 hours to do yardwork about once per week.

I second! Ive had mine for 3 or 4 years now. Have about 6 hours of life. I run chainsaw, I mow, I run a tractor, pressure wash, I wear them. Keeps enough sound out that I can listen to an audiobook at a decent level im sure their are higher tier ones, but for the cost, worth it. If you are using them for that long, might be worth it to grab 2 pair, so you can swap out if the batteries run out or you forgot to charge. Then you can always have a fresh one and one charging.

i use 3M work tune and they are pretty good. battery life is amazing but the max volume is a little low imo.

I have IsoTunes cans and WorkTunes cans. They both work well, but the IsoTunes have had a foam failure that is tough to fix without purchasing replacement foam.
