180s Ear Warmers

180s Ear Warmers

The Bottom Line

These earwarmers hold behind the head rather than over the head, making it more appealing to men than traditional earmuffs. It goes well with hats and helmets. You can slip earphones into them and enjoy your tunes or audiobooks while keeping your ears warm.

Guide Review - 180s Ear Warmers

Wearing traditional ear muffs, you have to decide whether to wear them over a hat or under one. 180s eliminates that problem with the adjustable band going behind the head. This design also makes them easier to use with earphones - you can slip the earphones into each ear warmer pad, and the cord will hang conveniently at the base of your neck. These hold securely and comfortably and are windproof. I think the design also appeals to those who think traditional ear muffs are for girls.

Worst ear muffs ever, Member Silly_Quiet

You can only ware these if you have no hair or your hair in an updo. Why would I wear these in that situation? I'd just wear a hat in that situation, or traditional ear muffs. NO, if you have long hair or you don't want your hair disturbed this is a poor choice at best because this goes right over your hair underneath so the weight of your hair takes it off or worse.
