I've seen it done both ways but haven't ridden with my headphones yet, figured i will probably try both ways but didn't know what input other people would have. And i have the icon headphones, rode with earbuds last year.

he does have a point.  the only skullcandy's worth buying are the icons/recruits.

the rest are horrible quality for way too much $$$

how is this relevant? have you ever tried the higher end skullcandys theyre just as good as any ohtre brand and to answer the question, outside is more comfortable and is fine for just cruising and maybe som small jumps but spins and stuff will knock them off. Inside for lots of tricks and jumps

You must have a weird hat on, mine like cling to my hats. I usually just wear a helmet with hat under and just rock the icons on the outside like on my ears and the top under the edge of my helmet, it never falls off.

This argument has been made several times before, the point is the skullcandys are the PERFECT headphones for skiing. You don't need the highest quality of headphones when your skiing. Skullcandy sounds good enough, they look good, and they can be replaced if they break, what more could you possibly ask for in a pair of headphones for skiing, do you really need that little bit of better quality in more expensive headphones when your skiing, fuck no so please stop saying skullcandy is shitty cuz its annoying.

Oh and under, they never stay on if their over.

This is my point really. We're talking about headphones. You can get a better quality pair of head phones for the same price. But apparently quality isn't what's important, look is. Which is why I hate seeing so many kids with skull candy head phones and stickers, because they fell for the company's gimmick.
"Hey lets make mediocre quality headphones but decorate them with green red and yellow so pot-head skiers and snowboarders will buy them."
Now if I wanted the highest quality head phones on the market I'd buy a pair of crazy Sennheisers, which I have. But I don't use them for skiing, I use the most practical and idea headphones, which are a pair of noise cancelling ear buds which probably work better than any skull candy head phones would work.

you guys all suck
this guy sounds like a pro sound tight butt
for 60 dollars.
you can't get much quality.
skullcandys are ideal
i have smoking buds.
they are PERFECT.  A noise canceling headphone for $25 is a steal.  I have spent on  better quality ear buds from sony and bose and both of them broke and had NO warranty.   Skullcandy has a rickdiculous warranty. plus it's a snow company that you are supporting. not some japanese super power
.

and before you tell me that the smoking buds are crap.  I use them for In-ear Monitoring on a stupidly loud stage and they put out.

smokin buds are the best sounding/sound cacncelling earbuds ive used and they're $25. i've tried most the bose, shure, and sony ones. Sure theres 125$+ ones but fuck that.

dont get me wrong, skullcandys are pretty good skiing headphones for the really low end range. not bad quality for a pair of $30 headphones.

but, are u fucking whack?? the most expensive skullcandys come nowhere near the likes of the Sennheiser HD650, the Grado GS1000 and the Denon D7000.  you have probably never even heard of these headphones let alone actually listened to them. come back and talk when you can phyiscally compare a pair of $90 Skullcandy cans to a pair of $1200 Denons. you have to be deaf to not hear the difference.
