3M PELTOR X Series Black Earmuffs (X5A / X5P3) – Maximum Attenuation Hearing Protection

Product Overview

The 3M PELTOR X Series Black Earmuffs (X5A / X5P3) are premium high-attenuation hearing protection solutions designed for extremely noisy industrial environments. As the highest protection level within the 3M PELTOR X Series, the X5 earmuffs deliver maximum noise reduction while maintaining comfort for extended wear.

Available in both headband (X5A) and helmet-mounted (X5P3) configurations, these earmuffs are engineered for demanding applications where superior noise attenuation is critical. Their advanced dual-cup design technology helps minimise resonance and improve low-frequency noise reduction.

Colour-coded in black to represent the highest attenuation level in the X Series, the X5 earmuffs are ideal for extreme noise environments such as airports, heavy manufacturing, and mining operations.
