I know it's a little weird. BUT can I use it as "ear warmers" or to protect my ears during the cold winter months or cold windy days?

Yes. They fit into the ear canal, completely blocking wind. I have a friend who uses them for that purpose...he is prone to ear infections. If you jiggle them a little, you can slightly dislodge the seal so you can hear a little better.

hmmmm good question. I def feel a slight sense of warmth on my inner ear when wearing it for prolonged times. So when you put these on, it makes a seal that would theoretically prevent cold air from going in your ear. I haven't had cold enough weather to test out those conditions sorry! But I think it would work because the seal these things make within your ear canal is very tight.

I've had no problems with these muffs since I bought them. In the rain you can wear them over the ears or around the neck without any trouble, however, before storing them wipe them off with a dry clean cloth, especially, in the inner ears.When not in use, you can wear them around your neck

It can but they have some extra hooks not shown in the photo that help prevent that from happening. If I remember right....the hooks wrap around your ear

I wear ear plugs with the face shield. Ear muffs might be tough. You might be able to do it if they were the type that you could turn the head band down on, say to the back of the head, if they the band wasn't tight.

I have not found that it does well outside in windy situations. It doesn't feel that secure on my ear and I would be concerned that it would fall off if I were running or jogging.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

No, only for facing in. When it's really cold, facing out straight into the wind/cold isn't the best idea anyway.

I use mine for running, biking and cross country skiing with no problems. They fit well under a helmet or watch cap. I live in interior Alaska and have to keep them in a warm place before putting them on as the metal in the frame can give contact frostbite (like a burn blister) if I leave it exposed to outside temps too long and put it straight on. As long as you don't turn the volume up too loud, you should be able to hear cars or other people just fine. It will never be as safe as exercising on the road without them on, but I really enjoy having music or audio books while I exercise.

The wind noise canceling is effective. But it won't work against stronger winds. It's still great for normal breezes and the like. Just keep expectations realistic.

I guess you could, but they are very thin and wouldn't provide much warmth. They really didn't even work for what I needed them for, but they are pretty cheap, so its not a big cost to try them.

No to be quite honest, I want to try and wear it during the winter time but it just doesn't give you the warmth of a sweater. Quite wind resistant though would recommend for climate for 50 degrees and up but anything below and it'll have you shivering.

I'm not sure. I think there is a wire in there so when you squeeze one way it opens and then the other way it closes. I just know they stay on and are wonderful. They keep your ears warm. The weather they are having back east right now I think you'll need a hat and scarf too.

I have never used them that way, I have winter sleeves :-), my guess is no, because they dont block the wind, which in my opinion is what cools your arms, the fabric technology along with the wind creates a cooling affect I can feel. I use them for long windy hot summer rides and they work great.

sure you can wear them as earplugs if you wanted , they do eliminate a substantial amount of outside sound , but cheap disposable earplugs do a better job

If you mean, will it keep you warm when the temperature is below freezing, the answer is yes. Wear them under your regular clothing and use appropriate cold weather gear when outdoors.

It was useless to me. It's a small piece of Velcro. I guess you could use it to wrap around your earbuds...which I personally do not see the purpose.

The earbuds do not get warrm. I have not worn them and felt warm ears but I can imagine in a hot summer day perhaps. Nothing I noticed.
