The X-Series earmuffs are 3M’s latest advancement in hearing conservation. New technologies in comfort, design and protection all come together in this groundbreaking earmuff line. The X3A features a newly designed spacer to help improve attenuation without the need for a much larger cup or double cup design. This lightweight earmuff is designed for protection against high-level industrial noise and other loud sounds. It features an electrically insulated wire headband, often referred to as “dielectric”•The wire headband offers consistent pressure over prolonged wearing periods.•Earcup pivot points tilt for optimum comfort and efficiency.•Replaceable ear cushions and foam liners (hygiene kit HYX3).•Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)b 28 dB. CSA Class AL.NOTE: The X-Series (over-the-head) headband version is electrically insulated - sometimes referred to as ”dielectric”. The metal components of the headband have been covered by non-conductive material for use in a low voltage electrical hazard (less than 440 V ac). As there are no applicable standards for testing ear muffs against electrical insulating properties, the product has been evaluated at an external laboratory against a modified test method based on EN397:1995. During assessment, the leakage current did not exceed 1.2mA when the external surface of the product made contact with an electrical source. The user must determine the overall suitability of this product for the intended application taking into account any hazards other than noise for which this product is tested.*The NRR may overestimate the hearing protection provided during typical use. 3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% for estimating the amount of noise reduction provided.Hearing Protection Solutions Made Innovatively Easy™.
For high performance hearing protection against moderate to high noise levels, use 3M™ PELTOR™ X3 Earmuffs. Our X3 earmuffs are colour-coded red, making it simple to select the correct level of protection from the X series range. Combining 3M's legendary hearing protection knowledge with advanced technology, our earmuffs include a specially designed spacer which improves noise reduction without the excess bulk and weight. This means the X3 is lightweight and streamlined whilst reducing noise up to 33 dB. The electrically insulated, twin headband design helps reduce heat build-up on top of the head, and the stainless steel wire, coated with plastic makes the headband the most robust 3M has to offer. It is both strong and comfortable as the flat wide headband has a soft plastic coating providing stable pressure on top of the head. No exposed metal means the product is 'dielectric', providing electrical resistance for those applications with risk of spark or charge. Carefully moulded sliders ensure the earmuffs are easy to adjust when on the head. Wide, soft foam ear cushions help workers stay comfortable, while the slim cups offer improved compatibility with other safety equipment. The cushions and foam inserts, available as Hygiene Kits, are easy to replace if they become worn or damaged, helping extend the life of the product. They're also available as helmet mounted or neckband models.
