Ear protection headband 3M Peltor X4A-OR, noise reduction 28 dB, over-the-head earmuffs

3M Peltor X4A-OR ear protection headband are over-the-head earmuffs designed to reduce hazardous noise in industrial and construction environments. With an SNR of 28 dB, these earmuffs combine sealed ear cushions and a padded headband to deliver effective attenuation and a comfortable fit during extended use. The bright orange finish improves visibility while the robust construction ensures reliable performance in routine work situations and on job sites.

Advantages

The 3M Peltor X4A-OR provides high attenuation for a compact, low-profile design, making it suitable where space and compatibility with other PPE are considerations. Soft, sealed ear cushions create a consistent acoustic seal to help maintain rated noise reduction. The padded headband distributes pressure evenly across the head for reduced fatigue during prolonged wear. The shell material resists impact and is easy to wipe clean for maintenance.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing and processing facilities
• Construction sites and renovation work
• Woodworking, metalworking and machining operations
• DIY, home improvement and garden machinery use
• Equipment maintenance and machine operation

How to use

Select the correct position of the headband and lower the ear cups over the ears so the cushions fully surround the ear canal to create an effective seal. Adjust the headband until the ear cushions sit comfortably without excessive pressure. Before entering noisy areas, check the fit by ensuring no gaps exist between the cushions and the head. Clean the surfaces regularly and replace cushions if they become damaged or lose elasticity to maintain performance.

Recommendations

Use the 3M Peltor X4A-OR when exposed to sustained or intermittent hazardous noise levels. Combine with other compatible personal protective equipment as required, ensuring that helmets, glasses or respirators do not compromise the ear cushion seal. Inspect the earmuffs before each use, store in a dry place away from direct sunlight, and replace ear cushions periodically to preserve noise reduction properties.
