I have these. I love them.
I can wear them under my helmet with minimal discomfort.
Position them against the back of your head though, instead of on top, should make things a lot easier.
Careful though, there is a possibility that if you land on your head, you'll probably just break the band.

cannot embed for some reason but i recommend something similar to those. they will never fall off your ears and you can choose to you one or both ear pieces. i much prefer than to icons and earbuds

i use skullcandy icons, they fit great under my helmet, and they stand up to quite a bit of falling and what not. as well, i have a pair of skullcandy titans that i use somestimes as well.

really because to be honest most of my friends who have had skull candies have had them break, then again those weren't icons so the quality of those headphones may be different.  I've seen JF Houle  rocking them in eyetrip and they seem to hold.

skullcandy ink'd, awesome quality, comfy under helmet, and for 15 bucks and unlimited warranty i could care less about durability, just buy 2 pairs and use the second ones while the first ones are gettin warrantied.

just shitty black sony on ear headphones that i found in my closet. Dont get any earphones with leather cushioners cuz they will slide compared to the fuzzy materials the will stick to a hat. I don't no how the whips work cuz it seems like theyll slip but apparently the work great.

They don't slip.
I wear goggles under helmet, so I have the toque on, then the headphones positioned right, then goggles over it all to make it work.
As so

Simply, comfy, nothing slides, if it doesn, you can just move it around.

that's the beauty of the Whips and those Frends headphones, it's a thin band. So it can fit under the helmet.
I researched this stuff before hand, aha.
