A stretchy fabric headband with flat speakers sewn in, so you can run or do yoga with music and calls and no earbuds in your ears. It pairs over Bluetooth and has inline-style controls on the band for volume, tracks and calls, plus a built-in mic. The catch is the wireless: Bluetooth 3.0 is old, working time is about 5 hours, and the mic only reaches about 3 ft, so calls work best with the phone close. It suits people who dislike earbuds or want their hair held back while training; for sound quality and battery life, modern bone-conduction and open-ear headsets beat it.

Owners of this type of speaker headband like the comfort and the no-earbuds feel for running and yoga, but complain about short battery life, weak bass and call quality. Many treat it as a convenience item rather than serious audio gear.
The Wireless Bluetooth Sports Headband has speakers built into a soft, stretchy, sweat-resistant fabric band. It plays music and handles calls without wires. The snug fit is meant to stay in place during runs, yoga and gym workouts, and it keeps hair back.
Discreet integrated speakers sit at the ears. Controls adjust volume, change tracks and manage calls. A built-in microphone allows hands-free calls.
The speakers and electronic components can be removed from the fabric before washing.
