Ski Hats with Headphones

Taking a cue from the great bard Shakespeare himself, a ski hat by any other name or design functions just as good as any other ski hat. But a ski hat with headphones is certainly the coolest thing to come out these days!

Ski hats with headphones are also popularly called "headphone beanies," “ski cap headphones,” or simply “headphone hats.” They come with built-in headphones and jack plug to connect directly into the skier's portable music device like an iPod or an MP3 player.

Headphone beanies are undeniably cool, funky and functional. With this innovation, skiing becomes more fun, as one is able to carry along his or her own personal music playlist, much like what joggers often do. With portable music, sports and recreational activities become even more enjoyable and relaxing.

Unlike conventional earplugs and earphones commonly seen on joggers, cyclists and gym enthusiasts, headphones offer a better listening quality than earplugs because of its more sensitive micro-speakers. The design of headsets enables it to concentrate the sound to the ears, and block the noise and sound waves away from the listener, which could be prevalent in a ski camp. Most of all, it is more convenient and comfortable to be used while skiing, because there is no lingering pressure on the ear buds that would be a great discomfort when one is skiing at the same time.

A number of beanie headphone designs have come out in the market to suit the varied preferences of skiers in terms of comfort, portability and mobility. The design variation is often seen in the jack plug attachment.

The standard ski hats with headphones are constructed like a helmet, with the built-in headphones hidden underneath. These ski hats usually have folded brims and are thicker because of the protective layer of foam that supports the headset.

Some ski hats with headphones have an extended flap where the earpiece of the headphone is hidden. Both ends of the jack flaps are usually extended so that it can be tied together around the neck. Some have innovative MP3 device docks like pockets for continued music play.
