skullcandy icons for sure. they fit under some helmets, but if they dont fit under yours, you can just wear it behind your head so its like around your neck. best headphones ive ever skied with

I use the skullcandy earphones that have a mic and a button on them and hook them to my phone so when someone calls I can talk to them while I ski haha. and hitting the button also pauses my music

smokin buds are shit, i got titans and i love them so far

i WOULD have gotten the full metal jacket, but them seem a little steep for an ear bud.

the cool thing about the titans is that they have a braided cord, so its alot more durable then the ruber cord that is stock on the rest of the industry...and i have little to no fraying so far after about a month of daily use

why people use icons under their helmet is beyond me.

look up Koss PortaPro, greatest headphones ever! Best sound you can imagine, way better than skullcandy. And they fit under helmets, the thing that goes over your head is like a millimeter thick.

Just buy the cheapest possible headphones, because most of the time you're not actually listening to the music, and if you're riding with them then they WILL break.

Siege - check them out at www.siegeaudio.com. Really good sound but well priced... way better than the equivalent skull candy.

Behind your head, like around the neck almost, so money.

Cant go wrong with icons. Had mine for 2 years, have been covered in snow, left outside over night and never had a single problem.

To hell with icons. I'll let you in on my secret

KOSS Porta-Pros. On ear like icons, but the speaker parts with pads removes. Throw those under your earpads. Replacable foam for when they get nasty. Awsome sound quality. $40ish

Porta pros are the best sounding headphones under $60


BUT

Skull Candy's warranty is second to none. Drop $20 on iCons and you can just keep replacing them.

I just ordered those off of Amazon for $33.  Everyone on here basically convinced me with all the good words so we'll see how they work out.  One question, does the little piece above the actual headphone part hit your helmet or does it fit perfectly underneath?

yeah but thy sound worse than the head phones that come with your i pod so why would you buy them in the first place? Porta pros are a noticeable step up in terms of sound quality and they have a pretty damn good warranty too.

I ride with the icon 2. But, before i had a helmet, whenever i would 'straight line' a black, they would whistle. It was really annoying.
