Review: Listen to tunes while Chainsawing! - 3M WorkTunes Connect + AM/FM Updated, see notes below. AA batteries last four months and still going using FM radio! Excellent hearing protection with radio! I hate proprietary lithium battery packs along with the unique charging adapters. AA batteries are cheap, and last adequate amount of time and more so then expected. Better than listening to the lawnmower! However, I still prefer to listen to the whine of my chainsaw versus Mozart! PROS 1) Sound quality appears adequate, especially while using a chainsaw or lawnmower. (See CONS notes.) 2) Battery life so far seems adequate. Used 2-3 times at lengthy intervals, still going, however mostly using FM/AM reception, without bluetooth. 3) AM/FM tuner and reception strength appears adequate. (See CONS notes.) 4) Weight seems acceptable, no apparent neck problems yet. Albeit, they'll likely hear from my lawyer first if the weight breaks my neck while listening to heavy metal music. 5) I've heard of complaints here about the volume dial not allowing louder volumes. I think these complaints are pretty much false, unless my unit has been modified after the complaints, or there's something going on with the reception and sound pressure level amplification. Seems adequate to me. Any louder with the music and I might as well listen to the lawnmower or chainsaw further ruin my hearing! Cons 1) Audio quality. Although adequate, could likely be much better! For somebody or a company that cares about our hearing, should also care just as much about the sound quality of the noise we want to listen to! (While using a chainsaw, I tend to also turn my garage 1000 watt stereo/radio on alongside using the headset with chainsaw... great to sing along while using a chainsaw or splitting wood!) 2) Slight learning curve for operating, requires at least 15-30 minutes, reading the manual's diagram and operating the buttons, in order to learn the work flow of the button operations. 3) Initially, the voice prompts were clipped short and inaudible. After reading the manual, or learning the manual's diagram, I now understand the voice prompts. (Likely clipped short due to memory constraints and weight requirements.) 4) I strongly prefer radio FM or AM reception, rather than listening to prerecorded music, unless the media is an audio book or audio lecture. Go figure, think it's due to randomness of songs and the large database of varying songs over FM radio or AM variety. However, I'm in a rural area, requiring better tuners to pickup the more distant strong AM/FM broadcast stations. I would judge the tuner on this headset adequate, only able receive your strongest local ~15 mile FM stations, and ~30-60 mile AM distant stations with barely audible AM quality sound. FM sounds pretty good, while the chainsaw or lawnmower are running. I think, either a better tuner or more antenna would be desirable. On the flip, most manufacturers would have provided much weaker reception. The quality is good, but can always be better. 5) During the Summer or within warm areas, the rubber padding does get wet and sweaty. I think the 3M headset with gel cushions are going to get just as wet. The only reason the gel cushions are not as hot & sweaty, due to the likely weaker seal around the eardrum, and also reflected in the ~1db less protection rating. Fact of life when wearing headgear during Summer heat, it's going to get hot & sweaty. 6) I keep bumping the darn tuning dial on the side, and might require a stiffer more durable large rotating dial? 7) The Bluetooth works, however I'm not a fan of Bluetooth devices. The sound quality has always been lacking and the ease of use is not easy after so many years of existence. I think 3M should continue with two separate devices, one headset for over the air reception of music, another for Bluetooth/cellular service. 2021.10.02 WOW! Original AA batteries last a very long time, using only the FM radio and not using Bluetooth, four months so far on the original Energizer AA batteries! Thank God I didn't purchase one having the pain in the arse proprietary lithium battery! I wish they doubled the length of the radio antenna, and included a tie down to your belt or arse. Review: 4.5 Years Later - Still one of my best purchases - I've been using my WorkTunes since August of 2018, and they have remained a rock-solid choice for hearing protection. These headphones have stood up to extreme weather in the Northeast US; I've used these while snowblowing my driveway in sub-zero windchills in driving snow, and I've used them while mowing my yard in 100+ degree heat index and high humidity in the summer. They've gotten wet, been dropped on hard surfaces, been drenched in sweat and still keep chugging along. The battery life on the WorkTunes are the stuff of legend. I use these very frequently, and am always amazed by how long I can go without having to replace the AA batteries. Even with near-daily use, I can generally get a couple of months of battery life on the WorkTunes. The noise cancellation is also top-tier. These can block out most of the noise from a loud engine of a lawnmower or snowblower, or an air compressor in use, loud power tools, the list goes on. These are my preferred headphones when I run on my treadmill, as they do a great job of blocking out the sound of the pounding of my feet on the treadmill belt. I prefer using these even over my more significantly more expensive Bose headphones for noise cancellation. I estimate that these block out 80-85% of ambient noise. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is acceptable for my uses. Listening to music or a podcast/audiobook has never left me wanting more. Sure, they aren't up to Bose-level sound quality, but at this price point, the audio quality is perfectly good; I don't necessarily care about having a perfect audio experience when I'm working. Overall, I am incredibly pleased at the WorkTunes overall performance and durability, and they fill a need for hearing protection as a DIY'er around my home and property. Edit 4.15.26 - I'm here to update my review to state that my Worktunes are still working strong 7.5 years after purchase. One detail I forgot to add in my original edit in 2023 is that my Worktunes were actually purchased "Used" on desertcart via an desertcart Warehouse deal. So, in my case, my Worktunes have been working perfect for longer than the 7.5 years I've had them. Recently, the foam "earmuffs" that came on my Worktunes finally disintegrated into shreds. However, I wear these very regularly in all weather conditions, so the earmuffs were bound to fall apart sooner or later. I was glad to find out that 3M makes gel earmuffs, and while they do not advertise it on the product page, the gel earmuffs are a perfect, tight fit for these Worktunes (you have to take off the entire earmuff assembly to snap them on, but they DO fit). The gel earmuffs are an order of magnitude more comfortable than the foam ones that came with the unit and provide a better seal around my ears which equates to better noise cancellation from mower/snowblower/etc. engines. If I were to buy these again, I would buy the gel earmuffs on day 1. But, I mainly wanted to provide this detail as I was unsure if the gel earmuffs would fit, as it wasn't advertised on that product's page. Earmuffs aside, my Worktunes still work as good as they did on the first day I received them. My ears thank me every time I use them. ## Features - Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) 24 dB* - BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY lets you seamlessly stream entertainment from your mobile phone and any other Bluetooth enabled device - INTEGRATED MICROPHONE lets you make and take phone calls without removing the ear protection - EXCELLENT AM/FM RADIO performance with clear sound and bass boost option for great listening - AUDIO ASSIST TECHNOLOGY provides operational and set-up guidance­–without having to take off the headset - AUDIO ASSIST TECHNOLOGY helps you program up to 50 AM/FM radio stations and lets you know when your battery is running low ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0146A4SWA | | ASIN | B0F899V25V | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Batteries | 2 Nonstandard Battery batteries required.

I bought a huge packet of HEAVY DUTY no-name batteries (not alkaline) from a hardware store. It takes 2 batteries and I probably mow the pasture 3 or 4 times before I have to replace them and it takes me 6 hours to mow, so doing the math, you will get about 24 hours of music off a couple of cheap batteries before you'll need to replace. I would assume you will get much more if you use alkaline. An outstanding feature is that long before the batteries go dead, a woman's voice comes over the radio and says LOW BATTERY, so you get a heads up to change them out before they die. Another feature is that after many hours of use, the unit will check to see if you are still listening and will prompt you to hit the volume button in a few seconds or it will shut off on it's own to save the battery. **Q: How long does the battery last on a full charge?** A: I can usually go about a week and a half on a full charge. I'm really good about waiting until the battery is really low and then doing a full charge before unplugging it. I listen about 7 hours out of a 9 hour day. It takes a long time to charge. **Q: Is the rechargeable battery replaceable** A: 3M ALPHA1100 Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack is replaceable. **Q: Does this have am/fm as well as bluetooth?** A: Thank you for asking. the 3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Technology, does not have am/fm capability. If you are looking for both Bluetooth and am/fm radio capability, you will want the 3M Worktunes Wireless Hearing Protection with Bluetooth Technology and AM/FM Radio, model number 90542-3DC. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M WorkTunes - 4 X Earpads - Ear Cushion Replacement Foam Ear Pads Compatible with 3M WorkTunes（(90543, 90544, 90542, 90541) ）/ Peltor Range Guard Connect Hearing Protector（EM042/033/037 Series ） --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/20838099-3m-worktunes](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/20838099-3m-worktunes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
