ISOtunes - Free Aware

They're not overpriced, they're actually cheaper than the Isotunes Free Aware that I use. The passthrough audio feature is what drives the cost up. The Isotunes aware series starts at $150 for the ones connected with a lanyard. The Free Aware (closest comparison to these Milwaukee buds) are $200.

I use ISOtunes pro and ISOtunes aware earbuds because they are the only ones I’ve found that I can have in/on my ears for more than 2 hours without my ears hurting. They do a great job with decibel reduction but the quality for music isn’t great. I don’t care about great music quality, I’m working and the music isn’t background noise not something I’m actively listening too. The batter life is good, their customer service is good, and I really like that the aware ones work to filter sounds so you can hear people talking. Everyone has their opinion and mine is that I’ll actually wear ISO tunes for hours which helps me not just start using a tool “just for a quick cut” without hearing protection.

For the price of airpods, you can get isotunes.  The aware models are osha approved hearing protection and have pass-through. 

This is my setup. ISOTunes Free plugs, with Howard Leight Leightning L3 muffs over the top.

Isotunes free are decent, had a pair for three years and still going. Excellent noise reduction as ear defenders. Also good bluetooth function.

I love my iso tunes earbuds, they have passive noise cancelling I don't know if that is something you need. I've put them through the washing machine several times and they still work great for me

My Jabras are great - they’re expensive but I’ve had them for…18 months? Maybe two years?I can’t do over the ear because the cord rubs when I’m wearing glasses. I liked the isotunes buds but the batteries kept dying mid-afternoon and it drove me crazy. The 3M work tunes are great too but they make me sweaty haha
