Low riders are SHIT to ski with. Honestly, I think they are meant to sit around your neck. They don't stay on your head whatsoever. You would need to put your goggle straps over them.

^ lol, ya def avoid lowriders, skiing with ipod earphones (unsteezy) is a great alternative. They never fall out.

I have heard that lowriders fall off your head pretty easy unless you stick them under your goggle strap. I personally ski with the icons but have skied with T.I's as well and they were both sick. Clearly the T.I's had much better sound quality.

Ive  got a pair of lowriders and icons and I can tell you DO NOT GET LOWRIDERS if you want to ski with them. They are useless for skiing. My pair of icons are amazing for skiing. If you wear a helmet you can flip them around and put them behind the helmet and they will stay on, If you wear a beanie you just wear them normally and they stay on amazingly.

Get Icons, you wont be disapointed.

The general consensus on this site is "the shittier the headphones, the steezier they are".  So go with any skullcandy headphones.

the sonys pack a little more punch and have a little deeper amount of bass. but the downside is that they are kinda bulky.

if your skiin wit just a beanie, go wit the sonys

if you skiin wit a beanie and a helmet, go wit the icons or the smokin buds.

the icons and the smokin buds are the ONLY sklullcandy headphones i would reccomend.

they're bigger, but as far as sound goes they are at least 10 times better of course. definitely the best audio you can get for that price.

When you wear a helmet with the icons do you just wear them around your neck so they dont break under the helmet?

whenever im riding with a helmet i just put my smokin buds or my full metal jackets in.  if i dont have my helmet on, ive got my icons over the strap. sometimes, but not very often i ride with my loriders, but those have to be under the strap, and then it looks goofy imho. so i save the loriders for just wearing around, and school and stuff.

hope that helped a lil bit.

i've had a chance to try them out, the audio is pretty good, definitely better than skullcandy of course, but it could use a little work. the designs on the other hand, definitely bangin.

Just get a nice pair of Sony in-ears, they sound great and don't fall out, especially when you have a goggle strap over them.

i have lowriders and my brother has icons.
and i am wishing that i had icons.
there is nothing that the lowriders do that the icons don't do better.
the icons even look better.
