3M Peltor X1A Over-Head Passive 26-27 dB NRR Earmuffs

Lightweight, comfortable protection in three formats

The PELTOR X1A earmuffs from 3M offer high-performance hearing protection against low to moderate noise levels.

X1A is ideal when over-protection is a concern. The first level of noise protection in the PELTOR X series, X1 earmuffs are color-coded green, making it simple to select and identify the correct level of protection from the range.

It provides 26-27 dB noise reduction rating (NRR), model dependent, tested to EN 352:2020.

X1A is lightweight with comfortable, soft ABS ear cushions and low-profile cups, available in headband, helmet attachment, and neckband models.

Headband provides stable pressure, reduces heat buildup

The headband model features an electrically-insulated twin headband made from plastic-coated stainless steel wire that helps reduce heat buildup on the top of the head.

It is both strong and comfortable as the wide, flat headband has a soft plastic coating providing stable pressure on top of the head.

No exposed metal means the product is dielectric, providing electrical resistance for applications with risk of spark or charge.

Adjustable, replaceable ear cushions extend product life

Carefully-molded sliders ensure the earmuffs are easy to adjust when on the head. Wide, soft foam ear cushions help workers stay comfortable, while the slim cups offer improved compatibility with other safety equipment.

The cushions and foam inserts, available as hygiene kits, are easy to replace if they become worn or damaged, helping extend the life of the product.

The P5 helmet-mounted version offers the same dielectric performance as the headband model. Alternatively, if the application does not require electrical insulation, the helmet-mounted P3 model or neckband with metal arms are available.

PELTOR X1A earmuffs are available through 3M distributors, including Amazon, DigiKey, Enviro Safety Products, EGC Supply, Zoro, Industrial Safety Products, and others.
