3M X2AC1 hearing protection 105 dB

3M Peltor Comfort Earmuff X2A (model X2AC1) is a slim-line, dual-moulded cup earmuff designed to provide reliable hearing protection for adults in noisy environments. Engineered for compatibility with other personal protective equipment, the ear defenders feature soft wide cushions, an electrically insulated wire headband and a large internal cup space to reduce heat and moisture build-up. They are intended for noise exposure up to 94–105 dB and offer noise reduction of up to 31 dB.

Advantages

The 3M X2AC1 delivers effective noise reduction up to 31 dB while maintaining a lightweight, low-profile shape that improves compatibility with 3M eyewear and respirators. Soft wide ear cushions reduce pressure around the ears for extended comfort, and the electrically insulated wire headband distributes even pressure across the head. The larger internal cup volume helps reduce heat and moisture build-up during prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Industrial and manufacturing environments with noise exposure
• Construction sites and outdoor machinery operation
• Workshops and maintenance tasks
• Any situation requiring compatibility with eyewear and respirators
