Sony MDR V-6


super dank headphone and a giant step up from the shitty-ass icons/earbuds/low level Sony's you see out on the hill all the time.... you can usually find them online for around $60....

I have a pair too, but the ones one ebay are almost all fakes.

They're sick headphones, but make sure you buy them from an authorized Sony retailer or they're probably going to be fake.

^for sure, glad you pointed that out.

I got mine at Amazon - it looks like they're still in stock:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V6-Monitor-Headphones-Voice/dp/B00001WRSJ

I used them non-stop for about a year & a half living & riding on Hood and they sounded great the whole time but I had to replace the jack twice, and would have a third time but I just got a pair of Sennheiser HD280s. So just be careful about where you put your iPod or whatever - mine was in my pant pocket most of the time, which gets knocked around a shitload when you're skiing.

the actual headphone part is really sturdy, though.

Panasonic RP-HJC120K

theyre cheap and they have pretty good sound but the reason i have bought them 3 times in a row is because they fit my ears perfectly. the most comfortable in-ear headphones I have ever owned.

For dubstep and bass purposes: skullcandy scullcrushers, all other music(not often) : beats detox( the ones with curly cable and metal outside) they are fucking amazing and scullcrushers are legit. Granted the beats are 500 bucks they aren't the most economical option, but don't downgrade to beats solos or tours, they suck. Just get scullcrushers on amazon for 50 bucks

I bought these for DJing and i'll tell you why.

Click for larger image

Virtually the same thing as the Pioneer HDJ-1000, and even cast from the same molds. Very nice isolation, good quality, I haven't even been able to overdrive them with bass - which says a lot since most of what I spin is Progressive house, D&B and Dubstep. They are very light, and above all look better and have better comfort than the same headphones they are cast from - the Pioneer HDJ - 1000.

On top of that, i scored them for 80 bucks instead of paying ridic prices for 'Pioneer' to be on my headphones.... and then whats awesome is they LOOK great, so win-win-win for all.



Aaaand then for just fucking around, I have these.

Click for larger image

Got them for 20 bucks on whiskeymilitia, and bought them only because they have fucking subwoofers in them lol.

In comparison, they actually have decent isolation and feel pretty comfortable, but.... then theres the whole 'needing a battery for the subwoofer' and 'pretty awful bass quality even with the subwoofer' that gets in the way that makes my 20$ investment seem to make more sense... That, and the really heavy and awkward battery pack for the subs gets a little annoying. They feel cheap, they sound cheap. I got them for cheap. Whatever. lol.

i like icons, but i end up buy 3/4 pairs in a season. luckily skullcandy replaces em all.

don't use earbuds. they mess with your balance. actually i don't know if that's true or not but after i heard it i'm too afraid to ski with buds

lenntek sonix 3, they work great and have a braided cord which helps with cord noise and tangling. i added some memory foam earbud tips for them from radioshack so they literally never fall out and sound amazing. total was 40 bucks for this setup
