An earmuff assembly is adapted to be secured to a wearer's head in order to cover the wearer's ears. The earmuff assembly comprises a pair of earmuff elements, a band member and a joining means. Each of the earmuff elements has a pair of spaced-apart sleeve structures disposed thereon. The band member has opposite ends and includes a pair of strap portions. A first one of strap portions is slidably received in a first one of the sleeve structures of each earmuff element and a second one of the strap portions is slidably received in a second one of the sleeve structures of each earmuff element so that the earmuff element may be selectably positioned along the band member between the strap portions. The joining means interconnects the opposite ends of the band member so that the band member may be placed around and retained by the head of the wearer with the earmuff elements oriented to cover the ears. Another embodiment includes a pair of elastic strap elements which are connected to each other at respective first and second ends to form a pair of coupled ends and a continuous band member. A respective one of a matable pair of fastening devices is connected to a respective one of the coupled ends. Yet another embodiment includes an elastic continous band member having a pair of loop portions that are interlinked to each other.
