Additionally, one of the earpieces is fixedly attached to an end of the headband while the second earpiece is removable to allow for the removal and replacement of a fitted cotton sleeve which covers the headband. The headband washable cotton sleeve prevents hair entanglement, provides protection related to health and sanitary issues and also provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition to the removable cotton sleeve for the headband, each of the earpieces is also provided with a removable fitted cotton cover. Each earpiece has a rigid support member that includes an attachment ring and an extension portion that is secured to the outer surface of the layer of silicone, on the opposite side of the layer of silicone, at its center, there is a spongy, sound-dampening foam layer adjacent thereto and covered with one of the fitted cotton sleeves referred to above.
