Earmuffs & Ear Warmers
Soft earmuffs and ear warmer headbands that keep the chill off on frosty mornings and windy walks, in plush, padded, faux fur and foldable styles.
Earmuffs and ear warmers buying guide
Cold ears can make a winter walk miserable, and a hat isn't always practical if you wear your hair up, use headphones or don't want to flatten your hairstyle. Earmuffs and ear warmer headbands keep your ears warm without covering your whole head.
Earmuffs or ear warmer headband?
Earmuffs have two padded cups on a band that goes over or behind your head. They give the most warmth and block wind best. See the windproof faux fur earmuffs, the fluffy padded earmuffs and the foldable plush earmuffs, which fold small enough for a coat pocket.
Ear warmer headbands wrap around your head like a wide band. They're lighter, work well for running and walking, and sit neatly with a ponytail. Try the faux fur ear warmer headband, the padded ear warmer headband or the rex rabbit fur ear warmer.
What to look for
- Wind protection: thick, dense padding blocks cold wind best.
- Fit: an adjustable band stops earmuffs pressing too hard or slipping.
- Foldability: foldable designs fit in a pocket or bag when you go indoors.
- Glasses and headphones: behind-the-head bands are more comfortable with glasses.
When to wear them
School runs, dog walks, winter markets, skiing and frosty commutes. Pair them with heated gloves and a warm winter coat for the coldest days.
Frequently asked questions
Are earmuffs warmer than a hat?
For your ears, often yes, because the padded cups seal around them and block wind. A hat keeps your whole head warm.
Can you wear earmuffs with glasses?
Yes. Behind-the-head styles and soft headbands sit comfortably with glasses.
Do earmuffs work for running?
An ear warmer headband usually works better for running because it stays put and is lighter.
How do I clean earmuffs?
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let them air dry. Check the care label first.
