What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the 3M WorkTunes Connect is the go-to Bluetooth hearing protector for shop work and mowing. The high-trust source protoolreviews.com notes it's 'incredibly popular thanks to their built-in audio connection and certified 24dB noise reduction rating' (the v2 is rated 26 dB per noisyworld.org), and high-trust r/Tools posters call them comfortable with surprisingly good battery life for shop and mowing use. popularwoodworking.com adds that built-in audio makes them easy to wear for hours.

Where it falls short

The high-trust criticism is specific and worth heeding. r/headphones reviewers describe the audio as bass-light with exaggerated highs, one r/woodworking user complained of 'low Bluetooth volume' and a cord that works itself tight, and another r/Tools thread flags Bluetooth pairing and charging-port failures over time. Comfort is debated: one r/headphones poster managed 'just under an hour' before ear irritation.
The synthesis: as hearing protection with music, this is the most-recommended option for woodworking and yard work, valued for connectivity and all-day wear, but reviewers are candid that the sound signature is mediocre and long-term reliability of the charging and Bluetooth has tripped up some buyers.
