Modifying the New Klein Tools Situational Awareness Earmuffs for Hard Hat Use

Klein Tools recently came out with an impressive addition to their line of hearing protection, a pair of Bluetooth-enabled Situational Awareness Earmuffs (AESEM1S). These are amazing and have a ton of useful applications on noisy job sites, but what I wondered is, why can't we modify these for use on hard hats? Klein already has a cap style Hard Hat Earmuff (60532), but the features on the new Situational Awareness hearing protection can't be beat, so I decided to make a few modifications in the shop and adapt the product for a hard hat.

I modified a set of 3M Worktunes Connect to my hard hat. I found it much better to rout the wire between the wire arms and up over the liner inside the hat. Its totaly out of the way without adding anything else to the hard hat.

If I did not already have a headlamp on my hard hat that gave an easy way to route the cable around, I would have likely done it the way you did going over the top of the liner. How did you modify yours? Does 3M have a hard hat set of ear muffs you could swap parts with like we did with the Klein in this video?

So how well do they function with outside noise now that you’ve had them for a while?

They work pretty well. It seems like the loud noises get canceled. That being said, you still can hear them if you have the volume low. It seems as you turn up the volume to hear voices, the loud noises start to cancel as they essentially overdrive the system. Hopefully, that makes sense. I will say you can't play music super loud with these, and phone calls aren't bad, but they aren't crystal clear. I've not tried a phone call in a loud environment they may or may not do well with that.
