Ear Muffs over Air Pods

First world problem for sure here…I like to listen to books, podcasts, music, etc. while mowing lawn or cutting brush. I use Air Pods and the opening in my muffs is a little too small to wear them comfortably for an extended period of time. Has anyone found a brand that has a larger ear opening, thus not pinching the ear between the muff and headphone. Bonus points if they can be ordered online…My old Bose ones were just fine, but they have seen better days with only one side working now and the battery functioning at 30% of brand new.

I bought a pair of earmuffs with the built in radio this spring from Menards. They were Yellow & Black, don’t know the brand. They worked fine for mowing.

I used to battle the same problem and hated it. Eventually I pulled the trigger on some bluetooth/AM/FM earmuffs. They work great for mowing, snowblowing, plowing with the SxS and everything else in-between.

I have the Bluetooth shooting muffs made by Walkers.

I have a pair of muffs if anyone needs them. I don’t seem to use them as much now that the X is gone.

You are still fishing the same pond…..you will need them again.

I have been using these while chainsaw carving.. I do like them. So far so good. I have only had them for 2 months so not sure how long they will go.

I bought them at Fleet Farm but they are online also. 3M brand.

Huh? I can’t hear you. Maybe that’s because I use my Airpod Pro’s as hearing protection…What’s this muff you speak of?

So true. The sweet honey stage will be behind you before you know it.

Get the ones buschman posted, gitchi ones don’t have as good of sound quality.

Best ones out there that I’ve found, we use them every day for work. Good mic as well can just press the button and take calls

I have a few different ear muffs that I wear over my air/earpods when playing drums and they fit just fine in all of them. I guess just try a few different ones til u find one that fits?

Take a look at these OKG earbuds. Best 20 bucks I have ever spent!

I had the issue with my Galaxy buds being turned off by my muffs. I was able to just turn off touch controls for them and now I can listen while I work!

I have these also. Sometimes on hikes etc I just wear my earbuds (actually bluetooth hearing aids for me) and I wear a head band over my ears to keep them warm, but for real work etc I use the above ear muffs.

I have the 3M work tunes and really like them. It’s nice to be able to just press a button and the saved radio station starts playing.

The 3m work tunes have their place. I like ear buds because you can take/make phone calls with most of them out there today.

Now THAT is FUNNY

Thanks all for the information. I stepped away from IDO for a few weeks and totally forgot I had posted this question.
