Title says it, I wanna start using my Icons instead of my earbuds, so I wanna know the best way to put them under my helmet but over my toque and goggles so they don't fall off.

Best fit for me is to wear a beanie under my helmet. Then Place the headphones over beanie under helmet strap

ive seen kids wear them kind of around the neck, like around the back of the helmet and just the ear parts under the goggle strap. hope this helps...

do this.

a good way to keep them up is have them under the helmet strap and have your helmet tight.

I gave up using icons after I snapped 3 pairs in less than 2 weeks.

I always wore mine around my neck so I guess thats a no go.

Probably already know how to, but heres how i do it...
I wear a beenie under my helmet, goggles on top of the beanie and the icons on top.
Switch the headphones round (right on left) tighten up the "v" shaped bits on your helmet around the ear, put the icons through the back ones and the front ones. Hope this helps. :)

Buds are more noise isolating and therefore you have less awareness of people around you. And for some people buds bother their ears.

Take earpieces off using a hacksaw to cut the plastic headband and replace the plastic headband with a band of ductape with earpieces on the ends.  Then just wear them like normal headphones and put the earpieces under your goggle band to keep the earpieces flush against your ears.  Hopefully that makes sense, but works amazing for me.

To counteract the noise isolation or whatever it is you call it i just ride with one in. then you can still hear everyone around you and the music. i know its not the point of this thread but to me it seems like people are willing to sacrifice a lot of comfort and functionality just for the look of riding with icons.

Then you get no interaural cues and lose the ability for the brain to discern the true location of the original sound. No sound localization any more, and that is dangerous.

I kinda wear them like this but i pass them over the first helmet strap, then under the second. i find they hold better this way...

And it just ruins both parts. The music isn't enjoyable and you can't hear stuff around you quite right. I usually just have the earbud sit in my ear not all the way in and it stays in because i wear a balaclava. But there had to be a better way because even that is uncomfortable

There is a small hole in the beanie I normally wear so I just put both ear buds in that whole and it seems to work alright
