ST. PAUL, Minn. – 3M is introducing a wireless hearing protector with high fidelity speakers and an integrated microphone to enable two-way phone calls.
The new 3M WorkTunes Connect Wireless Hearing Protector helps provide hearing protection for lawn and landscape professionals. It keeps users connected with its integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, allows them to make and take phone calls on-the-job. High fidelity speakers can stream users’ entertainment of choice.
The hearing protector utilizes Bluetooth wireless technology to stream music from mobile phones or other Bluetooth wireless technology- enabled devices. The 40 mm high-fidelity speakers and integrated microphone allow users to make and take phone calls hands-free, and the protection features a 24-decibel noise reduction rating.
The product has a built-in rechargeable battery with auto-shut off capabilities.
“It’s important for lawn and landscape workers to protect their hearing when on the job. They are often exposed to loud and constant noise for much or all of their work day,” said Lindsay Adams of the 3M Construction and Home Improvement Markets Division. “Wearing hearing protection isn’t always top of mind, but we’ve designed a product to help meet the protection needs yet add function and fun making it more desirable to wear.”
The new 3M WorkTunes Connect Wireless Hearing Protector with Bluetooth wireless technology is available online and at home centers, hardware and mass retailers nationwide.
