Let’s face it, wearing headphones under your beanie or cap can get annoying, if they fall out you have to take everything off and put them back (which means putting your ears in the cold, brrr). Enter the speaker beanie. A cap with built in headphones that can plug into almost anything! It’s warm, plays music and the top five best gadgets for winter list wouldn’t be complete without it!

Models vary in style, color and price but can usually be found in the price range of $3 – $8.
