How does one wear a summer sun hat (battery, ATT, opera)

[JohnPBailey]

along with a bluetooth headset?

Is a baseball hat the only thing that works here?

The attached image is exactly how I wear my headset with my hat.

You could always get an in-the-ear pair and wear any hat you want.

Ditch the headset. Do you really want to look like a telephone operator, anyway?

No, but a helicopter pilot look might be cool!

Does this man look like the Ma Bell type?

In the ear types bother my ears. Causes sores. I like the classic Sony Walkman headset type with foam cushion ear pads, but these do not sport wireless technology. I have a pair like these that are panasonic with the cord. I can position them on my head with the headband behind my neck so it's out of the way of the brim and crown of my sun hat. They are so light and compact that stay securely over my ears when worn in this fashion even. The typical over the ear headset with Bluetooth is a big, heavy clunk device (much like classic 1970's studio headphones with the big plug) that needs the headband directly over the top of the head to hold in place securely. Putting the headband behind my neck, no SEE-gar, here.

I wish sun hat designers and headset engineers would meet minds up on the fifth floor.

I use a Bluetooth over the ear headset and don't have to worry about a cord getting in the way. My headset has a built-in microphone (not a boom microphone) and I can accept incoming calls directly to the headset. The manufacturer of my headset states it has about a 30 hour battery and have yet to have the headset battery die on me.

You are thinking about the padded headphones with a boom microphone (not over the ear). I did that for almost 9 years as a cellphone customer service rep.

I want to see your summer sun hat.

Well, if you use the kind of "summer sun hat" worn by people who actually work out in the hot sun all day, I think you can make it work.


1) Go to Tractor Supply and buy a cheap straw white cowboy hat, somewhat oversize.


2) Cut slots on either side for the top strap of the headset. The straw hat is rigid enough that it ought to stay together and keep its shape.


3) Enjoy tunes and phone calls while working outside in the hot sun.
