PRO Aware 2.0

Isotunes makes the best longest lasting units according to everyone I know who uses them daily. Pro Aware 2.0 is the best currently, just picked up a set myself. Aware allows you to hear people while also providing a 26db reduction. If you don't want the 'Aware' you can save money.

I like my isotune PROs a lot. Amazon says mine are 3 years old now, no complaints at all.

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. 

I also use isotunes 2. I tried bone conducting but the sound quality was bad. Isotunes protect hearing, sound good, and last 2 shifts off one charge. 

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.
