• k) the first aperture and the gap allowing the threading and storage of the common set of wires between the interior layer and the exterior layer, as a method of containment of the common set of wires, up to the gap of interrupted stitching at the pocket;
• l) the audio device and the earphone or headphone assembly all being contained securely within the headgear or hat during use;
• m) the audio device being accessible from the exterior pocket of the headgear or hat while the headgear or hat is worn by for the removal, control, use, and manipulation of the audio device without removing the headgear or hat from a head of the user;
• n) the securing means having at least one top hanger, at least one left hanger and at least one right hanger;
• o) the interior layer having the at least one top hanger to receive a left wire set of the earphone or headphone assembly at a from a terminal end of the common wire set;
• p) the interior layer having the at least one left hanger to receive and secure the left wire set at a left side thereof;
• g) the interior layer having the at least one right hanger to receive and secure a right wire set at a right side thereof;
• and
• r) a left speaker and a right speaker being secured to the left wire set and the right wire set and being secured directly against or within a respective ear of the user when in use without interference from the interior layer or the exterior layer to impede enjoyment of a listening experience.
