In regards to the Java colored Warmers: This item was purchased as a gift. When the item was worn and stayed in place it did it's job quite well. The item slipped frequently and wouldn't stay in place on the person's ear whom they were for. I'm ordering a different pair for whom these were a gift for and hope that those stay in place. Based on the receiver of this gift these get 3 stars. These are the first pair the gift receiver has ever owned.In regards to the Blueprint colored Warmers: I really like these ear warmers they do an awesome job in keeping my ears warm. They don't keep out high winds as they are not designed for that purpose; I'll most likely purchase the one's that are designed for wind resistance in the near future. These do fit quite comfortably for my personal taste. I give these 5 stars for doing what they are designed to do. These are the second pair I've owned had the first pair about 5 years so they are a very excellent product based on my personal experience. I hope this pair lasts just as long if not longer.*You can tell the wind resistant ear warmers by the ribbed looked on the inside; if it's smooth then the ear warmers probably aren't going to block much wind. When purchasing this product please consider your personal taste and the purpose/conditions that the item will be used for.

Perfect for a Minnesota winter
I bought these to replace the ones my husband lost. He's been using a set exactly like these for probably 5 years now, and they have never worn out or stretched out of shape. They hug the head snugly but not too tightly, and they stay in place. They fold up to fit neatly in your pocket, purse, or glove compartment. They'll keep your ears warm, even in the subzero temperatures we have up here in northern Minnesota. Because they're worn across the back of the head, they don't get in the way of a hat or hood.I ordered the grey color this time, because my husband kept misplacing his black ones. They always turned up, but I guess they're gone for good this time. Hope this slightly lighter color will make them easier to keep track of.

Closest to The Quality of the Original 180s I Purchased 10 Years Ago Maybe
Closest to The Quality of the Original 180s I Purchased 10 Years Ago Maybe, But Still No Where Near as Great , I lost my Original 180s and was Forced to Get New ones. My old ones I took for granted in the sense that I thought I could always buy them again and they would be just the same, because they are not the same quality anymore, in terms of the fit and material and snug fitting. The old ones were sturdy, fit much more compact on the ears without being too noticeable in an annoying 'hey look i'm wearing earmuffs!' sort of way, and the fabric and design and fit was more quality and perfect (they hugged your ears like a secure compact thin but warm blanket). This feels like the down-graded minimal version of those, but still seems like legit 180s brand ear warmers, and get the job done, I went through purchasing a few on here but they were either fake not original or just not the same quality. So I would say if you're reading this around when I wrote it these are the ones to get and the price is fair enough. My old ones felt high quality like they would last forever and more sturdy (the adjustable back and structure), these feel more weak in quality, but they have somewhat the original feel and structure of 180s to be satisfied enough. Compared to the ones I had it should really be 3 stars, but because this is the closest to what I had and I can finally comfortably wear ear muffs again, i'm going to give it 4 stars.

Great Warmth and Stay Put
I am a female and I walk dogs for the ASPCA. These ear warmers are fantastic. I got the men's pair because i wanted to make sure they were big enough. I can hear fine, and even with some dogs tugging and pulling, they stay in place and keep my ears warm. I live In the Midwest and wind chill and weather can be brutal but dogs still have to be walked. These allow me to do that in comfort and warmth. They fold small enough to keep in with my walking gear and adjust to several widths. I would absolutely buy these again

Comfortable and Warm
I bought these 180s to replace a pair that I'd owned for many years and that has finally worn out. I bought 180s specifically because I liked the ones I had before so much. I wear a 7.5 in a fitted ball cap and these ear muffs fit me perfectly using about 2 notches of expansion. They can expand quite a bit more than I need. They're snug but not too snug. I wear them for my thirty-minute commute in Chicago and they keep my ears toasty warm, even in the wind. The interior fleece is soft--sort of feels like a flannel sheet. I'm pleased with my ear muffs and have no issue recommending them to those looking for an alternative to a hat.

Serve my needs great! May not be for everyone size wise
I had these before and lost them. They are good for me, but I don't see how they could be one-size because my head is small and they just fit. If this helps I used a tape measure (metal not cloth, so not as accurate but good enough) and measured myself from ear to ear. I measured 11 inches. Tht should give a sense of what the fit will be. So while they are adjustable, the range is not that wide. As I said, when I pull them full out, they fit me just right. Do love these because they keep my ears warm like nothing else. I get severe ear pain in winter if cold wind goes into the ear canal and hats and hoods don't cut it. These provide complete blockage. I also bought the ones with the faux fur inside. Have not worn them too much yet, but seem good too. Not as cushy as I would have liked though. I would like a pair that a softer and cushy against ear. Nonetheless, both pairs are highly functional and not uncomfortable. Overall, these products are excellent for my needs.but I agree that there are too many to choose from and there is room for improvement by 180 in the fit and comfort department. I may be developing an earmuff fetish!!!

Keep your ears warm without having to wear an itchy beanie hat
It's surprising how cold you ears get even if you feel warm enough not to wear a hat.These ear muffs are kind of spring loaded to fit snugly on your ears like wearing headphones. They are worn with the band behind the head and not over the top of the head making it possible to wear a flat cap at the same time as wearing the ear muffs.These ear muffs are not the cheapest on the market but they do hold gentle tension on the ear at all times and are very comfortable to wear. You certainly notice the difference when you take them off how cold it is without them.I've never owned a pair of ear muffs before and can't think why I have not bought some before now but I'm glad I decided to pay a little extra to get these particular ones. Having read the other reviews I think I made the right choice and thoroughly recommend them.

The best cold weather warmer...and yes even manly too.
I have used 180s for over a decade now and could not consider getting through a winter without them.From frigid -30C temps in Northern Sweden, to brisk British winter winds, I find them almost always perfect for any degree of cold weather.If you have never owned 180s, do not confuse them for earmuffs. I am a man. And as a man, it is only ever my ears/back of neck which get cold. The 180s with Windstopper technology really do the trick.Being a year round cyclist, yes even through Swedish winters, they work perfectly and very comfortably with my helmet, not interfering with the fit or comfort.I am not entirely convinced 180s are comfortable when worn with eyeglasses/sunglasses, but that could just be me.All in all, get them. You will never go back to that ridiculously looking beanie. (I promise you'll come round to thinking the look of 180 suits you too when you're warm and toasty in the bleak of winter)

Most comfortable ear warmers I've tried.
I have a big head and have tried multiple brands. This one fits best.
