I'm not sure if they should be waterproof or what. I'm looking for a pair under 50$ with good sound quality and that would fit under a hat. +k for bumps

I use skull candy FIX buds, they slap!  Sound is nice and isolated, good base and they stay in the ears really well

get something with an in line microphone/button, so you can pause, skip, rewind, and answer calls without taking your gloves off or even taking your phone out of your pocket. i have skullcandy FMJs, and they work great

if your gonna ski with any earbuds in, only use one. cause i was shouting at my friend cause a rouge ski was hurtling down the mountain. and the earbuds cancelled every last bit of sound out and he took a ski to the calf.

people hate on skullcandy for the audio quality but I still think they are a great option for the hill.

When you are skiing you don't exactly have to be an audiophile. Nobody should ski with $200 earbuds! The smoking buds will stay in your ear, are comfy, sound good enough (especially because you are probably playing the music from your phone), have volume control on the cord (huge plus for skiing) and most importantly have a good warranty because you WILL tear them apart eventually.

these, I love them, I can do everything i need to without taking off my gloves, and I have the waterproof case. Also, semi related, I have pow park gloves and they work with my iPhone screen, like I can use it fine with them on. I know some people pay extra for this, and I don't remember the advertising it

Sony FIX buds, the hook keeps them in your ear well, and they HIT! and got a song changer on them

I personally can't ski with music especially when I'm with friends.
But in powder I just love it, it isolates you better ! I have a pair of skullcandys, they are not too bad though.

apple headphones all day. gotta have that fancy clicker to pause and skip. its crucial.
dont get icons if you wear a helmet - wearing them sideways on your head makes you look retarded.

I just ski with the ones that the ipods come with. Seem to work fine for me, with the hat over them then rarely fall out
