I use wraparound headphone that go behind my head. The never cause pain or fall out, and they fit under a face mask/beanie and don't get stuck under my helmet.

I like the skull candy ink'd ones because they are cheap and work well. Please though, if you use earbuds, only use one so you can hear people around you. Can't tell you how many times i've seen friends get hit because they are moronic and wear both noise canceling earbuds in.

i use the ones that you swap out the ear pads in your helmet for. Way better than earbuds or regular headphones

I don't listen to music when I ski, but if I were to start, I'd probably go for some running headphones that hook around your ear.

I strongly recommend either the skullcandy icon 2s or the skullcandy titans. The titans are fuckin bulletproof and have disgustingly good sound quality. The icon 2s fit to your head really nicely.

I used to have a pair of skullcandy earbuds that were flush to your ear and instead of going straight down, they wrap around your ear. They were awesome they had great sound no thumping noises when you tapped them (going around the ear stopped this). They lasted me 6 years i think before they blew out (it was because someone ripped them ot of my ear and it hurt like a bitch because they were wrapped around). I always kept a backup pair of earbuds with me in case of the unforseeable or if someone needed a pair and when they blew out i used my inked's and it was like going from the sound of angels in my ears to justin bieber from 8 miles away projected through 6 dollar store megaphones. I think they got replaced by the fix in ear. When im not on mobile i will try to find them and ost pics or if someone knows what i'm talking about please post a pic and what they were callled. If you ever see see someone with these buy them from them or steal them, its worth it that much.

Used to like icon2s, but now I despise them. The size adjustment clicker on them always shits out. The cable also usually craps out in a short amount of time as well (just from moving/bending).

I do like slim headphones cause i can just slide them forward to hear & talk to people. Earbuds are annoying cause you have to keep taking them out. I just have cheap ifrogz plugs for helmet days, and some $20 sony phones for hat days.
