200 vs. 250 Series: Which High-Noise Headset Is Right for Your Factory Floor?
200 vs. 250 Series: Which High-Noise Headset Is Right for Your Factory Floor?
When machinery makes ordinary conversation difficult, the right headset can make all the difference.
Plant-Tours.com 200 and 250 Series high-noise headsets are designed for industrial tours,
training, and team communication.
So which level of noise reduction is right for your facility? Watch the video below to see
the 200 and 250 Series in action.
200 Series vs. 250 Series High-Noise Headsets
The primary difference between the two headset series is their
Noise Reduction Rating (NRR).
200 Series High-Noise Headsets 14 NRR
The 200 Series provides around-the-ear coverage to reduce surrounding noise while allowing
audio from your Plant-Tours.com communication system to come through clearly.
The 200 Series may be a good fit when:
- Machinery makes ordinary conversation difficult
- You need clearer communication during tours or training
- Your facility requires noise reduction, but not the higher 24 NRR of the 250 Series
- You want an over-the-ear headset designed for industrial environments
250 Series High-Noise Headsets
24 NRR
The 250 Series provides a greater level of noise reduction for louder industrial environments
where machinery and production equipment create significant competing noise.
The 250 Series may be a good fit when:
- Your facility has very loud machinery or production equipment
- You need greater noise reduction on the plant floor
- Employees or visitors struggle to hear communication around operating equipment
- You operate in heavy manufacturing, processing, energy, mining, or similar environments
