Overview

The Maxi Muff is a class 5 earmuff rated at 29dB, built with a shock resistant and lightweight construction for all day comfort. The soft foam ear cushions provide a comfortable, secure fit, and the slide and swivel cups adjust to sit right over the ears. The muff can be worn behind the head, which is the position that works with a hard hat.

On a building site the earmuff has to cope with two things at once: loud noise and being worn under or with a hard hat. The Maxi Muff is rated to class 5, the top hearing protection class, and the behind-head wear position means the headband sits clear of the helmet straps while the cups stay sealed over the ears.

The slide and swivel cups let you adjust the muff so the cushions sit squarely over the ears, which is what keeps the seal effective through the shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear this earmuff with a hard hat?

Yes. The muff can be worn behind the head, which keeps the headband clear of the hard hat straps while the cups stay sealed over the ears. That is the position most workers use when hearing protection and a helmet are both required.

What is the noise rating?

The muff is rated class 5 at 29dB to AS/NZ 1270. Class 5 is the top hearing protection class in the standard, and the 29dB rating is the attenuation figure stated on the listing, which suits loud site and machinery noise.

Is it heavy to wear?

No, the listing describes the construction as extremely lightweight, which is the point of the design. The light build, soft foam cushions and slide and swivel cups work together to keep the muff comfortable through a full shift.
