I like to listen to the radio when I'm in the shop but when I put the earmuffs on the audio obviously gets muted. This is particularly irritating when I'm listening to a song I like or something on the sports / talk radio channels I'm interested in. I owned a pair of earmuffs with AM/FM built in before but I never really liked it because it was analog and you had to rotate the dial to find the station. Which meant taking them off, putting the dial close to the station, then putting the earmuffs back on and micro tuning the dial to get the exact station. Marc S (the woodwhisperer) did a review on saftey gear and in it he uses earmuffs with a headphone jack built in and plugs a bluetooth receiver. I pretty much used the same equipment but I found a receiver that was less expensive. Also he uses his phone as the only transmitter (which I do also) but I also like to listen to the radio and TV. So I also bought a BT transmitter that I hook up to either the radio or TV. This allows the audio from the device to transmit from both the speakers as well as the BT unit. Which is nice because I'll be listening to something with the earmuffs off and then when I put them on the audio continues seamlessly and vice versa when I take them off.
