i just bought a pair of regular icons in hope that they would fit under my bern baker helmet. They do but with a lot of pressure and it doesnt feel to good. Whats the best way to wear them with a helmet?

+ K for help

the best way is to put them around the back of your neck so they are under the straps that come over your ear on your helmet

Yeah I really prefer this. I did the Icons behind the neck a lot last year. It works, but it creates a lot of bulk that got annoying after a while. Now I've just been keeping it simple and using my Apple earbuds. I wear a beanie under my helmet so they stay in no problem. It seems to be the easiest and least bulky way to do it.

i've done the ear bud thing, hurts my ears after a while, even tried differant types, skullcandy smoking bud, apple ear buds, ect they hurt after afew hours. The behide the neck thing does seem to have a lot of bulk but i figure i might as well give it a try

It's like trying to dance without music. I just can't do it.

ive always found that icons only stay on well for me if i am not wearing a helmet, if you want music try ear buds, its really not worth the pain in the ass to wear icons for style
