Lost Pup 172 #1 Posted October 24, 2018 I received these as a gift. I always used the cheapest wired buds i could find. Sony MDR 1000x cordless headphone with noise reduction. Bluetooth enabled and they connect easily to both my ipad and my cheap Tracfone cell phone. I have never tried noise reduction headphones before so i was / am schocked at their performance , comfort on my fat head and great battery life. Normally i bring my ipad to the garage when working so now tv radio and all my personal music is at hand when woking on the old horses. They also sync to my cell so i can take a phone call while wearing them. If you get a chance try a pair next time ....I will never go back to the cranked up tunes in the garage. Using my blutoothed cell phone with them I can protect my ears while working in the yard and not miss a call now. Kids are always calling for a pickup and such. Owned them 6 months now and wanted to mention it how a device actually helped woth the Horse hobby. Anyone else use NR headphones or buds ? i 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,530 #3 Posted October 24, 2018 Do they work with the TV ? I have to turn the TV up so loud. It's driving my wife crazy. I guess that's one of the hazards of working in a factory for 35 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our “smart tv” was not bluetooth enabled but there are cheap adapters on ebay and amazon to just plug into the earphone jack of the tv. Also did not mention that our cordless house phone is also Bluetooth enabled so i sync to the tv and house phone and the call would come thru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,663 #6 Posted October 24, 2018 Nobody i want to talk to or music i need badly enough for $350.00. Some old speakers and a $20 yard sale amp running off my laptop is good enough. The old land line phone also seems to still work. Guess i am just a cheap old SOB 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 5,809 #8 Posted October 25, 2018 I have one of the older worktunes models and use it all the time. The radio built into the earmuffs gives you the incentive to actually wear them. Only downfall is they are a little hot to wear mowing grass sometimes. Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
