Unlike traditional passive-only earmuffs Earmuffs are objects designed to cover a person's ears for protection. They consist of a thermoplastic or metal head-band, that fits over the top of the head, and a pad at each end, to cover the external ears.  and earplugs, the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff provides more complete protection from a wider range of noise frequencies, particularly the low frequency noise generated by engines, motors and fans that is prevalent in many industrial settings. The passive component of the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff has a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR NRR National Research Register

) of 26dB (when worn over-the-head) and 25db (when worn behind-the-head) and the ENC component provides as much as 20dB of added noise reduction within the low-frequency bandwidth of 20-800 Hz. The earmuff is priced at $149.

The NoiseBuster's audio input feature also makes it an excellent choice for do-it-yourself users of power tools, lawnmowers and other equipment who want to listen to music, as well as for motor sports fans when used in conjunction with scanners (devices that allow fans to hear the radio communications of race car drivers and pit crews). For audio to be heard in the presence of noise it must be overamplified above the noise thereby creating a possible hearing hazard. The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff cancels noise so that music can be enjoyed at safer volume levels. The product delivers excellent audio quality, comparable to that of higher-priced, noise canceling audio headphones Head-mounted speakers. Headphones have a strap that rests on top of the head, positioning a pair of speakers over both ears. For listening to music or monitoring live performances and audio tracks, both left and right channels are required.  currently on the market.

"We believe the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is a true breakthrough in industrial hearing protection," said Richard Hennessey, President, Pro Tech. "Passive earplugs and earmuffs are effective against mid- and high- frequency noise, but they lose their effectiveness at 500 hertz and below. Electronic low frequency noise cancellation (1) The elimination of unwanted signals in an electronic circuit. See noise and dynamic noise reduction.

(2) The elimination of unwanted noise in the environment using noise cancelling headphones.
 delivers an additional level of protection and enables workers to hear crucial sounds such as speech and warning signals."

Mr. Hennessey continued, "Additionally, we know that many light industrial workers and do-it-yourselfers enjoy listening to music while working, and there are a number of music-playing earmuffs with built-in radios on the market today. At the NoiseBuster's attractive price point, consumers can use this technologically-advanced product to listen to any music source at safe volume levels."

The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is powered with a single AA battery that provides 65 hours of use. The unit is resistant to water, moisture, contaminants, mechanical shock and vibration. The product features soft, pliable ear cushions and an adjustable, extra-wide headband that can be worn over-the-head or behind-the-head. The unit is warrantied for one year.
