I'm thinking about getting them. Do you guys like them/are they worth it? Or should I just keep my regular ones instead of buying a new pair?

Are you talking about the rollerblades? If you are, and are looking for razors superlights, check out the new aragons, they made a few improvements. You could just get a boot only if you have frames. Here's a video about them http://secure.rollerwarehouse.com/item/RAZORS/ARAGON_3_SKATES/id/110RAZ9401/. Otherwise, I'm not sure if the 2's are much different from the 1's.

And if for some reason you weren't talking about rollerblades, then I feel like an idiot.

Don't get the softs, they have no strength, they just fall of my head, Icon 2's are baller, good fit, and if you have an iphone they have the click to talk which is rediculasly convenient, also the rope wire is sick.  And every new icon comes with a sick gold and black skullcandy bandana. Definately worth it.

I bought the Level 1 Icon 2's awhile ago and they're pretty sick, no issues with them yet.

i hear theyre no good for going under a helmet.
if i were to put them around the back of my neck would they fall down?  or are they tight to ear,
i need good headphones for skiing, buds keep falling out and my sony ones are too big

I have them they are much better sound wise than the icon 1's the reason is the sound quality. Icon 1's are 32 ohms icon 2's are 16 ohms. Ohms is resistance in the magnet which creates the sound you hear the lower the ohms the better the sound. So the icon 2 have essentially twice the sound quality and having owned both i can tell.
