My wife has informed me that my father-in-law would like a set of ear muffs
that combine hearing protection with the ability to listen to a game while
he mows the lawn, runs his tractors, splits wood, etc. Seems like a good
Christmas gift, so I started Googling. It looks as though I have a bunch of
options, and I can't remember a time in the last half-dozen years this list
was stumped...
For ~$80 I can get an Elvex Com-660. AM/FM, takes AA batteries. For about
$100, Elvex sells an FM-only model that is rechargeable. I don't yet know
whether or not he would want AM (And I can only hope that my MIL will
know). I like the rechargeable idea (no batteries to remove/install, just
plug it in when he's not using it). Peltor (a brand I like) also sells some
similar to the Com-660's for ~$85.
Does anybody have any experience with any of these? Is there a model that
you guys like? Anything to stay away from? If I were your son-in-law,
which would you want me to buy you?
