Anyone got any experiences to share when it comes to bluetooth headsets or similar for high noise environments?

Will a normal bluetooth headset provide a better experience? Or should you go straight for a noise cancelling headset that also provides hearing protection?

Protect the ears and just use ear plugs etc. you'll be better off in the long run

And hum loudly. Don't forget the humming loudly.

Preferable a single refrain from a single, dire pop song, all day long.

That'll learn 'em to be noisy.

Negative only - never buy Kliptsch, really expensive and mine failed after about a year of regular use.

Also make sure they are light weight.

I can only second RossMW : ear plugs. Trying to cover noise with other noise is not good in the long run.

Noise cancelling is the way to go if you still are wanting to do so, but then be ready to give out some cash : the only working system are the expensive ones.

It's not about removing the noise or hearing protection in this case, just a user who needs to be able to carry on phone conversations in that environment but it seems like noise cancelling headset is a must to be able to achieve that. I'm not fotting the bill at least. $Shucks | :-\$

Here[^] you go. It also is good against bright light.

I'll get that for private use and rig it with a VR headset instead, might get play some simulators again. Smile | :)

I plan to do it the other way around. I started with simulators and model helicopters and plan to get into a real one at least once. Going all the way and making the pilot license probably would not be very smart, but why not take a lesson or two?

These[^] are the ones to use in a noisy environment.

Not sure if its the same model but got the recommendation from a coworker to use Peltor so it's leaning towards those. I'm not the end user, just the middle man tasked to find them. Smile | :)

They have many models, go to their homepage and find the ones having the functionality you want.

Based on your answer to Rage, I guess these[^] or these[^] would work.

I use the Jabra Steel BT headset - not because I really need it, but it works great. I have bounced around Jabra, Plantronics, etc. and have just about settled on Jabra as my go to BT product.

Little Johnny and his family was having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
"Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer". said his mother.
"I don't need to" the boy replied.
"Of course, you do" his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house".
"That's at OUR house". Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook!"

So Chris Evans is apparently gone.

5-Jul-16 11:10

Doubt it, but it's at least old enough to have been forgotten by most people here, judging by the fact that it took more than 24 hour before the first comment of this kind.

Yup. Just catching up with the news. Not sure that LeBlanc would be in a position to take the lead if his new sitcom takes off in the States as expected. Wouldn't be at all surprised if BBC give it up as a bad job now.

Thank God, Chris Evans[^] didn't leave. I'd be disappointed if it was like that.

Well, it would probably be better if they'd swapped the two Chris's.
But then again, Captain America would've turned into a comedy, for the wrong reasons. Smile | :)
