wow lotsa stuff. i always feel like cramped with all that.  but i try to use like speaker headphones for giro helmets which are really nice but kill my ears for some reason? but i mean try tons of shit on in a mirror and with your goggs and stuff. make sure its what you want before you break the bank on everything.

tunneling ear buds work for me as long as they dont bulge out too far because then the helmet pushes them in and they start to get painful. But tunneling are allways are good for noise canceling and capturing the complete sound

it sounds like you're skiing and listening to music. not to be an ass, there's not too much difference between the built-in headphones/cheaper ear buds. if you want great sound get some ridiculously expensive noise canceling ear buds

not all noise canceling ear buds are that expensive, take a trip to best buy and pick up sum tunnelers for 20 bucks. plus you can get the water proof kind for about 25 because we all eat our shit once and a while

I don't like noise-cancelling earbuds. Sometimes there are things on the hill you don't notice unless you hear them. Not to mention someone trying to talk to you on the lift, and you don't hear them and they think you're just being an ass. I used to turn my music up so loud so I couldn't hear anything else, but I found that kinda anti-social

I got some skullcandy icons which work pretty good when you wear them over a beanie and have your goggles holding em down and a helmet on top just loosen up the strap and you should be good
