Very convincing! Ordered a pair of ISOtunes headphones after listening, or shall I say, 'after paying attention'. I like the idea that their SafeMax technology lets you hear sounds (like voices) when they are below 85dB in the shop, and when sounds (like machines) are above 85dB performs noise cancelation.
When I saw what this was about, I was going to skip it. I'm glad I listened, and I learned. One of my other hobbies is riding motor cycles. I ride a quiet bike. The issue I have with mc noise is the wind rushing by my helmet. I have had hearing protectors made for me twice, and both times they quickly quit fitting my ear, so now I use foam protectors while riding. In my shop I use muffs which work better. I'll have to look into Isotunes.
