Tool Review: ISOtunes Free Bluetooth Hearing Protection
Barry Dima takes a look at (and a listen to) Isotunes' new truly wireless bluetooth earbuds.
Hearing protection for the shop is catching up with those fancy, cord-free Bluetooth headphones. ISOtunes’ latest offering, the Free, offers in-ear Bluetooth-capable hearing protection without any wires to tie you up.
Most importantly, the Free earbuds, with a 22-db. noise reduction rating, are fantastic at blocking out shop sounds. Even the screams of a job-site tablesaw and lunchbox planer didn’t faze me. The audio quality for music was solid, and the Free even takes phone calls. The earbuds are rather comfortable too. I often forgot they were in until I was well back at the bench doing handwork, and their water resistance let them stand up to my sweat in a garage shop in Florida.
Their connection never broke, even with a few interior walls between them and my phone. The controls, like adjusting volume or skipping tracks, proved easy to learn.

In what country are these made?
Haven Technologies is "based" in Carmel, Indiana, but the website does not say nor imply that the product is made in America.
