Gotta say earbuds under a lid for sure, and if youve got earpads in, check out the Skullcandy Asyms, they sit flush in your ears so dont get forced inside your ear by the earpad

i took the earpads out of my helmet and wear a hat under it, then i put skullcandy icons on with the bridge around my neck.

i have earbuds, but they are nice and i dont want them to get fucked up on the hill. plus, i can slip the icons down or off and then back on real easy. whereas with earbuds its a little more difficult. the icons also cancel no noise at all. so i can hear people.

just personal preference.

i rocked the icons on my neck for a while, but its annoying when they fall off
i got some ghetto behind the neck ones from a cd player in like 8th grade that work so sick, they secure on your ear so they never some off, works way better than the icon trick, but the soundquality kinda blows

earbuds are awesome. i just hate when someone says something and you have to turn the volume down and ask them what the fuck they said.

Earbuds when im alone.

Icon2s when im with other people.

But i personally like the earbuds better because its like surround sound while your skiing. Headsets can just get to loud and annoying.

i got an iphone, so i use the aple in ear headphones with the remote and microphone thing. so if people call, i can talk to them easily, and also, i can pause and skip tracks etc. its a winning system.

I like earbuds better, especially if I'm alone. The only problem is sometimes they hurt my ear if I wear them all day.

Ear buds are annoying IMO but when I am wearing a helmet I use them because my Icons don't really fit. But I definitely prefer icons.

headphones for sure. earbuds don't work well while skiing, they fall out and are hard to put back in with gloves
