Hearing protection headphones NEO tools 97-564 280 g 1 pc

The NEO tools 97-564 hearing protection headphones are ear muffs designed to reduce industrial and environmental noise with an SNR of 32 dB. Weighing 280 g and supplied as a single unit, these CE-certified ear defenders comply with EN352-1:2002 and are intended for professional and DIY use where effective attenuation and extended wearing comfort are required. The product features soft, wide ear pads, large ear shells and an adjustable headstrap, and is offered in orange.

Advantages

These ear muffs combine a high noise reduction rating (SNR 32 dB) with a lightweight construction (280 g) to limit user fatigue during prolonged wear. Soft, wide ear pads reduce localised pressure around the ears and improve comfort, while large ear shells reduce moisture condensation and overheating. The adjustable headstrap allows a secure, customised fit for different head sizes. CE certification for EN352-1:2002 confirms suitability for use in regulated work environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial workshops and manufacturing lines
• Construction sites and outdoor noisy tasks

• Maintenance, assembly and machine operation
• Shooting ranges and other high-noise recreational activities

How to use

Place the headband over the top of the head and position the ear shells so they fully cover the ears and create a seal against the head. Adjust the headstrap until the ear pads sit snugly without excessive pressure. Ensure hair, glasses or other obstructions do not break the seal between the ear pads and the skin. Use the ear muffs whenever exposed to hazardous or prolonged noise levels; check the fit periodically and re-adjust as needed during long shifts.

Usage recommendations

Inspect ear pads and the headband before each use; replace the ear pads if they are cracked, torn or no longer provide an effective seal. Store the ear muffs in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. For environments with fluctuating noise levels consider combining these ear muffs with other hearing protection strategies (administrative controls, quieter equipment or periodic breaks) to maintain safe exposure limits.
