Our employer purchased the IsoTunes Pro 2.0 for all of us as an alternative to the loud stand alone speakers we currently use. I thoroughly appreciate this review. From small town Kansas, thank you...
Much appreciated. I had a out 14 hours in the editing on this one alone. 🤣 Funny enough I spotted one error that some folks may never notice but it bugged me that I didn't catch it until the video was up. Oh well.
There is an error in this video, can you spot it? (Hint it is a Videography/Editing Error.) Want your own ISOTunes? isotunesaudio.com/?rfsn=3708873.201458
Glad to be of help. I used to prefer over ear protection but with the ISOTunes I can put them in and leave them in. When I put on a grinding face shield, respirator, or welding helmet they don't get in the way. 👍
Great timing for me, Alan. I'm in the process of looking into this sort of thing. Surely some different pieces could be made to fit your ear canal by someone in the hearing aid industry or something like that. I know what you mean about the silence of no sound making the tinnitus worse. No joy at all. Thanks for a good, honest review.
Thank you. 👍 I can actually install the longer tips onto the FREEs and they don't hurt anymore. However they then won't fit into the charging case. So I'd have to remove the tips everytime I charged. I'll figure out what is right for me eventually.
@@HotRodHippie Good that it works but that would be an inconvenience for sure. Maybe your review will prompt them to make some sort of adjustment or change.
I have not observed any different distance on these (I have both) compared to other bluetooth headphones or earbuds. I also noticed that the Frees do not have the same volume of sound as the Pros...for me the Frees are useless if I am driving my tractor or using a weedeater...even at max volume they are barely audible. With the Pros- they always end up getting tugged out of my ears. Same here with the irritation in my ear canal. Tech support tried to help with fit suggestions. Ultimately they did offer to reimburse me the full cost.
In reference to what you said about the pro 2.0 being weighted to the side whenever you're taking them off and letting them hang on your neck.... what you're supposed to do is when you take them off to hang on your neck, hook them to each other! Use the ear hooks and just as you take them off and put them on your chest hook them together and then when you are ready to use it again unhook it and put it back in your ears and they stay put! This is actually why I went with the pro 2.0 instead of the wireless version... If you need to take the wireless ones off to talk or something then you have nowhere to put them except back in a case! With the 2.0 you just let them hang there for the minute or two you don't need them and then put them back in!
That is exactly what I have taken to doing and it works well. The lopsided nature bothers me more in general use while they are in my ears. However I've gotten used it and rarely think about it now. 👍👍 Coming from the Xtras which magnetized together and were well balanced this took some getting used to is all.
I really don't like the Free for a few reasons: -Ear bud foam is really hard, even after warming them in your hands or your pockets, so puts a lot of pressure on your ear canal and makes them hurt. -The white noise on the buds is very loud compared to most other wireless headphones. It also cuts in and out when scrolling through RUclips if you have the preview option enabled, and between videos in a playlist. I would have preferred if it just stayed on. -The blinking light on them reflects off of my welding hood when it's down, which is a deal breaker for me. They're all minor issues, but together they're enough to make my job more annoying, rather than less. I'll stick with regular ear plugs/muffs and just hum to myself lol.
Absolutely is. I should have said that. I think headphones of any kind is. I did it because I just didn't have enough hours in the day to get this review done, and only did so on the highway when it doesn't seem like as large of an issue imo. I should have put a disclaimer on that part though. ,👍👍
I prefer over the ear but I may have to look into something like this for the warmer weather plus I do get quite sweaty so over the ear does restrict air flow.
One thing, bubba... I sought out a review because I wanted to know how I could tell when the Pro 2.0's fully charged for the first time out of the box. As I was watching your review, the red charging light turned blue. Does that mean they are fully charged? Yours is the best review, btw. Again, thank you sir.
@@HotRodHippie Very cool. Thank you. I'm currently using the 2.0's. I'm digging them. They'll be great for work. (Iron Foundry). A lot of loud noise. I'll be using the silicone tips. They sound clear and loud enough. I'll know more after I use them at work. Great job on your video. I shared it with a few co workers.
Thanks for the review! How's the mic quality on both of them? I work outdoors next to a lot of chainsaws and loud heavy equipment and have to take calls. My boss uses a blue parrott headset which is unparalleled in mic sensitivity and isolation, but they only make headsets and really only the mic is good
The mistake in the video is actually your explanation of NRR. The number of decibels reduced by a NRR of 27 is 10. The equation goes like this. (NRR-7)/2. Rating minus seven divided by 2. Not sure why it’s like that or why it’s not as straight forward like it seems it should be. Good video and thanks for the review it was very helpful.
I’m torn between the both of them and I’m leaning towards the pros but I wear glasses and I don’t know if they would be comfortable with the over ear design.
The only relevant experience I have is with safety glasses and sunglasses. And I never notice anything different with glasses on (and the Pro 2.0s). I like the Frees well enough but I’d recommend the Pro 2.0 basically every time if you are deciding between the two.
I have absolutely used the Free longer than 4 hours straight. Have you considered emailing support and complaining about the poor battery life? I completely agree they aren't as loud as the Pros, as I said in the video.
Thanks for the feedback dude, Just ordered a set of these, looking forward to trying them out . Have been using Mil-spec Peltor Comtacs up till now jut found them bulky to use when using a face sheild etc. and been looking for a alternative. Ordered the Pro 2.0's
I prefer over ear protection, but like you it just doesn't work with the face shield or welding helmet. The Pro 2.0s let me just keep working AND listening to whatever I was. Hope you like them. 👍
@@HotRodHippie I am sure i will, often if i am porting an engine i have my Comtacs on with a set of regular iPhone in ear buds underneath rocking out to whatever keeps me in the mood. Be it Pendulum, The Prodigy, or lately its been Rammstein and Aesthetic Perfection (the latter two i blame my long term girlfriend for) I always seem to prefer something heavier in the way of music when doing that kind of work.... oops i seem to have gotten totally sidetracked. anyway i always find those in ear buds tend to get pulled out from under the defenders when moving. So looking forward to trying these.
HotRodHippie arrived in yesterday evening, did some porting with them and love them, the bass is heaps better that the Apple earphones I have been using. I find they work really well and are comfortable to the point I did not feel the need to remove them as soon as I was finished
Essex Rotary How are you liking the pro 2.0’s? Does the over ear loop get in the way when wearing sunglasses? Also, any reason you didn’t go for the all wireless Free version?
It's likely that the louder pair is more sensitive (ie. less power needed to reach a given volume), or they may present an easier load to your phone. Maybe both. They look like nice products. Wish I could have music in my ears. Makes me feel paranoid. Here's the irony - I run a headphone forum.
Haha, that is ironic. I'd bet they are a different driver, so you are likely correct. Possible that the increased battery power of the Pro 2.0 has something to do with it I'd guess. Who knows, it didn't bother me I just felt it something I should mention.
Yeah I work in a noisy high decibal environment I've used hesh 2s for years they dont keep the noise out that great and I have to use max volume on them. I just bought the scull candy venues. $129.00 but I still dont think they are safe enough to keep the noise out
Awesome review, thank you! Do the buds lower outside noise to 22/27 dbs or just lower outside noise by 22/27 dbs. ie circular saw use does it lower the noise to 27 dbs going from 100dbs to 27 or lower saw noise by 27 going from 100 to 73dbs? Thanks again
The NRR means they reduce the noise by that value. So with sufficiently loud ambient sounds you could still be in danger of hearing damage. Thank you 👍👍
Is the true wireless works with independent use, or which earbuds, left or right is the main? For normal use outside loud environments, I want to use it as normal buds and single use if possible.
I liked the Xtras but the Pros are better. The Xtras are better balanced when you are wearing them, but I got used to the imbalance on the Pros and it doesn't bother me anymore. The Pros get louder, sound better, and I like the controls on the Pros better. The only thing I miss about the Xtras is the magnets they had so when they were in my ears they didn't fall off my neck. But I've taken to looping the loops of the Pros together when hanging around my neck and that solves that. Overall I'd recommend the Pros over the Xtras. I haven't used the Xtras since I completed this review and started using the Pros everyday.
@@timfagan816 I actually really like them. They work well. I found myself adjusting them alot but my ears are smaller. They do a fantastic job around everything super loud. They don't completely take the noise away but they do the job. They do tend to pull to the one side because of the mic. My hair is always in a ponytail so I hung it on that and then put them in my ears. Talking on them is impossible. The person on the other line cannot hear you at all. They don't noise cancel as they should. Even when I'm in the loader and the cb is going off the person on the other line with get the cb really loud. I use them every day and am really hard on them and even in the dust and rain they still work great. Hope that helps
@@ShellbieeLou4 wow yeah that really helped thanks. Sweet I just wanted something that I can use when getting in and out of the cab, cos its annoying changing from standard head phones to ear plug ans back again, when I'm back in the cab, so they sound like they'd do a great job, when I'm crushing, in the digger with the door closed and these pro 2.0s on. That's what im after. Not so much worried about the call quality. Thanks for your reply, just the $189.99 nz price tag is putting me off, how much did you pay for your ones? I suppose I should just bite the bullet, cant really put a price on hearing innit
Which one would be best for someone who works in a noisy work space who wants to listen to music but has to be away of his or her surroundings like for someone who works in a factory but needs to be aware when a forklift driver is heading there way or another example someone who likes to take long walks but needs to be aware of traffic?
Neither of these. They just don’t offer ambient noise awareness as they are first and foremost hearing protection. IsoTunes announced TODAY, new hearing protection (not yet available) that does offer that awareness but protects your hearing when noises get louder. I have not tested them yet to make any statements. All I know is I got an email today about the new products coming soon.
It's a stainless rigging plate. Used for rope rigging as a connection point. You can hook carabineers, shackles, and rope to it for rigging needs. It was just collecting dust on the shelf when I realized it would make a cool display piece.
They will protect your hearing but don’t function as a “sport” hearing protection. By that I mean they don’t allow in outside noise until shooting starts like others do. These are meant for work so all they do is protect your hearing all the time. They have a new line called their “Aware” line for sports purposes but I haven’t tested those personally.
eFasser they protrude more from the ears than I’d say would be comfortable in a helmet. Also as they are intended for noise isolation, I would highly recommend against using these on a bike. Awareness of surroundings is too important in my experience.
Free’s are not loud enough. I own a lawn care business and you can not hear the music over a mower, trimmer and blower. Pro 2s are amazing though. Definitely block out a lot more noise and are noticeably louder. Free’s do hurt your years and I agree it’s because the smaller tips. They do offer a 30 day money back guarantee but be prepared to pay for the return shipping! Overall the free’s were unusable. The pro 2’s are amazing! Highly recommend the pro 2’s!
Solid input. 👍👍 I used the Free's for most of yesterday and still quite like them, unfortunately they hurt my ears by the end of the day. I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me that found the Free's quiet. I have to wonder which is truly at the 85dba safe level?
I have a few projects planned that should start soon. The biggest hurdle currently is to make the content people want is going to require more space than I have. Kind of a "Cart before the Horse" problem. I need a larger shop space to make more in depth metal videos, but I can't afford that until the channel grows more. I've been working for some months on making arrangements to get something lined up, but nothing happens quickly enough.
I made a 15 minute review full of the detailed explanation of both the Positives and Negatives of this product. I used them for weeks to form my opinions. This took two days of work to edit, was filmed with thousands of dollars in camera gear, and edited on a custom built computer to produce the best quality I could manage. All that said, why WOULDN’T I use an affiliate link? IF people are going to buy the product anyway after seeing this review, why shouldn’t I make a small percentage off of that? No one HAS to use the link. They choose to, with clearly disclosed knowledge of what it is. So maybe, just maybe, they actually WANT to support what I do and help me continue to do it? While also getting a product that they have decided is worth it for them. I list Affiliate Links for products I think are complete garbage and flat out tell people “NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT” because, if they are going to anyway, why not? Producing a quality RUclips channel is expensive, time consuming, and RUclips Adsense does NOT pay the bills. And if I sound angry, I am. This is insulting my ethics on a deep level. I pride myself on producing quality and honest reviews, and I never pull punches. To the level that I know for a fact I piss off companies when I speak about their products. Some people value my opinion as a result, and some companies (like IsoTunes) see the value in that as well.
@@HotRodHippie Hi. Sorry about getting you all upset. You made a small disclaimer in the beginning of the video, where you say you are not getting payed in anyway... I don't find that 100% correct, considering the affiliate link. I would add "but, if you desided to purchase any of the products please consider using the affiliate link below, as it helps my channel".
@@mikkellund6355 I usually say exactly that in many videos. Sorry if I didn’t. I honestly cannot remember if I was a part of their affiliate program when this video went live, so it may have had different links then. It has been over a year. But the link clearly discloses it (you realized somehow obviously). A sponsored video and affiliate payments are vastly different things in my opinion. No one has to buy using the links. They can very easily just go buy via their own means or even go into a store and purchase physically. And legally affiliate programs are not considered sponsorship. I make a small amount of money when people choose to use the link. That isn’t nearly the same as being paid to make the video. I know for a fact that link is very rarely used, but why wouldn’t I put it there on the off chance someone does? This video has thousands of views and I think I my affiliate link has been used less than a dozen times, ever.
@@HotRodHippie I think we agree that it should have been declared. And that was the entire point. Thank you for the review it was most helpful. I'm outside of the US so purchasing via the link doesn't make sense for me at least.
@@mikkellund6355 I will make a point to try and clearly disclose moving forward. I have been doing so already but you are the first person to raise this point. I understand it so I will make an effort.

Solid input. 👍👍 I used the Free's for most of yesterday and still quite like them, unfortunately they hurt my ears by the end of the day. I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me that found the Free's quiet. I have to wonder which is truly at the 85dba safe level?

Thanks for stopping by. Mekare rocks. 👍
When are you going to get back to metal working? I know it takes longer to make those videos but they are far more interesting.
I have a few projects planned that should start soon. The biggest hurdle currently is to make the content people want is going to require more space than I have. Kind of a "Cart before the Horse" problem. I need a larger shop space to make more in depth metal videos, but I can't afford that until the channel grows more. I've been working for some months on making arrangements to get something lined up, but nothing happens quickly enough.

what happened to your chin?

But you are getting paid via the ISOTunes Affiliate Link !?! "This is cool product2 => more people buy it => you are getting payed more?
I made a 15 minute review full of the detailed explanation of both the Positives and Negatives of this product. I used them for weeks to form my opinions. This took two days of work to edit, was filmed with thousands of dollars in camera gear, and edited on a custom built computer to produce the best quality I could manage.
All that said, why WOULDN’T I use an affiliate link? IF people are going to buy the product anyway after seeing this review, why shouldn’t I make a small percentage off of that? No one HAS to use the link. They choose to, with clearly disclosed knowledge of what it is. So maybe, just maybe, they actually WANT to support what I do and help me continue to do it? While also getting a product that they have decided is worth it for them.
I list Affiliate Links for products I think are complete garbage and flat out tell people “NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT” because, if they are going to anyway, why not? Producing a quality RUclips channel is expensive, time consuming, and RUclips Adsense does NOT pay the bills.
And if I sound angry, I am. This is insulting my ethics on a deep level. I pride myself on producing quality and honest reviews, and I never pull punches. To the level that I know for a fact I piss off companies when I speak about their products. Some people value my opinion as a result, and some companies (like IsoTunes) see the value in that as well.

Hi. Sorry about getting you all upset.
You made a small disclaimer in the beginning of the video, where you say you are not getting payed in anyway... I don't find that 100% correct, considering the affiliate link.
I would add "but, if you desided to purchase any of the products please consider using the affiliate link below, as it helps my channel".
@@mikkellund6355 I usually say exactly that in many videos. Sorry if I didn’t. I honestly cannot remember if I was a part of their affiliate program when this video went live, so it may have had different links then. It has been over a year. But the link clearly discloses it (you realized somehow obviously).
A sponsored video and affiliate payments are vastly different things in my opinion. No one has to buy using the links. They can very easily just go buy via their own means or even go into a store and purchase physically. And legally affiliate programs are not considered sponsorship. I make a small amount of money when people choose to use the link. That isn’t nearly the same as being paid to make the video.
I know for a fact that link is very rarely used, but why wouldn’t I put it there on the off chance someone does? This video has thousands of views and I think I my affiliate link has been used less than a dozen times, ever.

I think we agree that it should have been declared. And that was the entire point.
Thank you for the review it was most helpful. I'm outside of the US so purchasing via the link doesn't make sense for me at least.
@@mikkellund6355 I will make a point to try and clearly disclose moving forward. I have been doing so already but you are the first person to raise this point. I understand it so I will make an effort.
