An ear warming article that can be comprised of a C-shaped resilient band, an
outer sleeve and a speaker or other electronic device is described. The outer sleeve
is dimensioned to contain the resilient band, and includes two insulating, ear-receiving
portions as well as a first opening through which the resilient band can be inserted
or removed to yield an assembled or disassembled article, respectively. In a preferred
embodiment, the article includes an electronic device having one or more speakers
located at the ends of the resilient band; additional openings in the outer sleeve
may exist for any control functionality associated with the electronic device(s).
The outer sleeve can be comprised of a washable fabric material, particularly suitable
as a means for interchangeable advertising (team logo, branding, etc.). In other
embodiments, the ear warming article includes additional advertising and/or securing features.
