This decrease in force could lead to the earmuffs offering less protection. 3M™ Peltor™ X-series P5 Over the Ear Earmuffs are not compatible with the following helmets: In EN352-3 standard testing, the 3M™ PELTOR™ X Series P5E Hard Hat attached earmuffs continues to meet requirements. There have been no reports of injuries, accidents, or complaints associated with this issue.
