I like these ear muffs, but I have to stretch the band out as far as it will; go to make it fit.  I have a small head (Hat size 6 7/8) so if someone had a larger head they would not work very well.  Another thing I do not like is that they hurt my ears after an extended stay outside in the cold. I believe I would like ear muffs of the old style that has a band that fits over the top of the head and thoroughly covers the ears without mashing the ears flat against the head. I will continue to use these for short jaunts outside, but for extended stays in the cold, I will purchase a different style (over the head band).
