Honeywell Howard Leight Sync Wireless protective earmuffs

Honeywell Industrial Safety has announced a protective headset designed to allow workers to stay connected while continuing to protect hearing on noisy job sites.

The Honeywell Howard Leight Sync Wireless protective earmuffs integrate Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing workers to talk on the phone, connect with co-workers, get instructions and perform tasks without sacrificing hearing protection in noisy or dangerously loud environments. The headsets can block out up to 80% of background noise.

The headsets connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to most smartphones and features a boom microphone that enables workers to answer calls and carry on clear phone conversations while keeping the phone safely in a pocket. The wireless format eliminates the need for cords or cabling that can pose trip, slip or hand hazards.

Features of the headset include Bluetooth 4.1 for improved connectivity and reliability of data transfer and use with 4G mobile phones, a rechargeable battery supporting 16 h of use and an ergonomic design for simple operation, with volume control buttons and flashing coloured lights to indicate different settings.

Volume management technology limits output volume from portable audio devices to 82 dB, while airflow control technology provides optimal noise reduction across all frequencies to SLC₈₀ 31 dB.
