I listen primarily to AM radio, I can run an edger, mower and weed eater without having to turn up the volume. The only issue with these muffs is the AM radio doesn't lock into the station very good due to the dial tuning.

Cons: AM radio is not digital

These headphones met all expectations and dont compare to other similiar devices on the market.
