so i plan on listening to a lot of dubstep and meaty ass music on the slopes this year and the only thing stopping me from doing that is lack of deece earbuds. I need something that won't puss out on me and that I won't loose the goddamn ear gel things on. Also, BASSY as balls.

thanks ns

ill make you an offer. you can buy my 2 year old skullcandy skullcrushers from me, and your head will fucking hurt after each listen. they have built in subwoofers that take an extra battery to power, and they legit sound like (well basically are) a complete sound system. theyre just bulky overheads, and not earbuds

well considering ive had these babes for 2 full years, and trust me they get quite a bit of abuse in the park, then you should deffinetly experience them.

yeah homie v modas are the shit. better than the bose earbuds, pretty bassy, comfortable. you can lose the rubber things once in a while though. i got em when they first came out, im sure theyve gotten better since then. one of the ears is starting to die on me, but then again ive had them for 3+ years. id recommend them

probably, i actually use skullcandy icons for skiing (i wear em behind my head), so ive only used my earbuds for skiing a few times. since theyre earbuds and not normal headphones, they wont take as much damage since theyre not bulky. i mean theyre all metal, the wire has like a metal weave over it with the rubber on the outside, so theyre pretty hard to break.

I have V-moda vibes
fucking amazing
super high quality, amazing low end bass. i compared them with my brothers new ear buds that were like $100 and rated #1 by cnet, the quality was equal and the bass in my v-modas were so much better

and the bas freq are like cheap as hell and just blast bass, so you can just trash them and get a new pair as needed. v-moda also has a great warranty. i BSed my warranty forums (i get them off ebay) and got a new pair (the cables must have pulled and so no sound came out). then this happened again (kinda a flaw, still amazing head phones) and i said "hey, this is the second time this happened... wanna give me some of the new ones that are nicer?" i think the vibe II is what i have now. they sent me the newer nicer ones for free.

shure buds are pretty nice. i had the e2c's for a couple years. if the break they have a 2 year warranty which is nice. i had a wire pinch and the left bud went out after a year and a half and they hooked up a new pair within a week.

get shure, they're by far the best sound quality in a headphone I have ever heard, and they are made really well so they will last you a good 5 years of heavy use. They totally block out all other sound though so be careful and keep your eyes up, you literally won't be able to hear anything but your music with them in.

Skullcandy sucks balls, there, I said it.

If you want bass response over all else, go for the Digital Designs EarBuDDs. Not overly pricey, good sound, epic bass. Only problem might be that the earbud bit is machined aluminium so I don't know how they would go under beanie/goggles/helmet...

new smokin buds with the braided cord are the shit much better and more durable than the old smoking buds. Pretty bassy for $50. I had FMJ's but they broke in one ear. The cord in the new smokin buds is thicker than the FMJ......

Depends on what you're willing to pay, I just picked these up on sale last week for 99 down from 450.
