I like my isotune PROs a lot. Amazon says mine are 3 years old now, no complaints at all.
I’m a welder in a production shop, and I’m needing a decent replacement pair of headphones. Currently I’m using Isotunes pros, but I’m sick of the wire that with me constantly moving getting yanked out of my ears. I primarily listen to Reddit readings/audiobooks, but occasionally listen to music. My needs: Noise reduction Long battery life 24hr+ / long listen time 10hr+ Preferably wireless Secure fit in my ears yet not bulky If I could get some recommendations on some decent headphones near around that criteria, that isn’t Amazon garbage recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it!
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.
I use ISOtunes Pro earphones. I’m quite happy with both the noise reduction capability and the sound quality. Not an audiophile, so it probably depends on your standards.
The downside of over the ear pro is that if used with safety glasses (you are using safety glasses, aren’t you?), sound will “leak” in around the glasses arms. I have a pair of ISOtunes Pros that work very well for noise cancelling (passive), and are fairly comfortable as well. They are passive noise cancelling though, so if you want to have a normal conversation you will need to take them out.
ISOtunes Pro Aware 2.0 I don't have the Aware model, but I have had two pairs of the Pro model for the past 4yrs and they work awesome. Legally classed as Ear Pro, with music. The new aware will let you talk to those around you. Again I can't vouch for the functionality of it so you will need to do some research. https://isotunes.ca/products/pro-aware-2-0
