im thinkin about grabbin a pair and i was wonderin how they perform and how durable they are etc...

i know thier lower end headphones arnt that great cuz iv gone through 2 pairs of lowriders and 1 pair of icons, but i was told thier higher end stuff is pretty good.

any advice you have is appreciated (both positive and negative)

thanks

I used a pair of my friends Hesh for a few weeks and the sound quaility was good. I liked them a lot but never used them to ski with. How are the icons?

I have the Icons and I love them.  They work so well under the goggle strap.

Yeah of course, I have a black pair of the heshs. I love em' for 50 bucks its a good deal. Loud, good sound quality (for that range) and they look cool.

Cons: you have to get used to wearing them a bit, hurt the ears after a bit, pretty good sounds, not a ton of base.

But over all I like them for sure!

I am sure you'll get kids in here saying: "Buy shures for only 300 dollars for real sound quality" sure their better, but 2.3 e^3 times more expensive.

the icons were ok for the price.  the small size and how easy they are to slip on under a helmet or under your gog strap was nice. i think i prolly just played em too loud for the little driver thats in them.

im currently rockin some $20 sony dj headphones from walmart and they are pretty sick, but i want somethin epic, with alot of bass.  i heard the upper end skullcandy was good, i just had never wanted to pay that much and i found a place where i can get the hesh for 45 and i just wanted to hear NS's opinion right quick

Oh man, they're sick.
They fit snug on your head. I like how its 2 cords just incase that weakest part breaks.
I'm not much of a bass player, so I dont notice. My friend borrowed them, and we listened to some techno, shit sounds amazing.
