What are the best OSHA approved AirPods for work?
I work in manufacturing, they allow us to where ear buds but they have to be OSHA Approved. Do you have any that fit the work place?

AirPods Max
The folks that work for Apple would be the best to ask for the official answer, but I don’t believe they have anything listed as OSHA approved.
OSHA does mention there is no such approval list:
https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2023-03-06
”In conclusion, while no specific OSHA regulation prohibits headphones on a construction site or any other workplace, OSHA requires employers to protect employees exposed to sound levels exceeding the set permissible noise exposure limits. The employer must evaluate the employee's exposure to noise and provide appropriate hearing protection devices. Finally, it is worth noting that some manufacturers may claim that their products are "OSHA approved" or "100% OSHA compliant." OSHA does not register, certify, approve, or otherwise endorse commercial or private sector entities, products, or services. Therefore, any such claims by a manufacturer would be misleading.”
