    Abstract: A hat incorporates an audio system configured to externally broadcast audio stored by the audio system. The hat includes a digital audio player such as an MP3 player or the like that is connected to speakers of the audio system. The speakers are mounted in pivoting flaps of the hat such that the flaps and thus the speakers are movable into an open position and a closed position. In the open position the speakers are positioned to externally broadcast audio and in the closed position the speakers are positioned to internally play audio for the wearer or not play audio at all. The hat also incorporates user controls for the digital audio player in the brim of the hat. The hat may also include a light system that is controlled by an integral light controller for various light effects with a user control incorporated in the brim of the hat. The light system preferably includes one or more LEDs that are mounted on a front of the hat and connected to the light controller.
