when i ski with my hat I can just rock my skullcandys but I need something for the rest of the time when i have my helmet. Something that will stay in cause im fucking tired of the apple ones coming out every 5 minutes, plus the sound quality is pretty shitty. I'll get them on ebay but theres so many I have no idea what to get..

it depends on the helmet, but you can also get the standard style head phones that wrap around the back of your neck.

Sony has good earbuds.I have them and ide rate them an 9.They dont let out alot of bass which is good cause I hate headphones with alot of bass cause u cant head the words to the song.The only reason I rated them a 9 was cause I always loose my rubber pieces to my earbuds. I wish they would come attached.

I have the Skullcandy Smokin Buds. My only complaint is that they work too well and cancel out surrounding noise. Other than that, they're the most comfortable ones i've ever used, and they sounds amazing.

There's 2 versions of the smokin buds though. the Version 1 has one earphone longer than the other so they're gay and annoying. Version 2 has them both the same length, also the volume button doesn't slide as easily so it's easier to keep your volume at the right level.

Try buying some tuneups for a Nine.Nine, and then have someone sew them onto the straps of your helmet. I did that with my Protec and could not be happier. The mute button is great for when you actually have to listen to people, and the bass is fine.
