I have learned the the Icon Soft's are the best for skiing because its harder to snap them. If you fall on a pair of Icon's they break. I have had friends break like 4 pairs of icons in a season, but I have had 2 different pairs of Icon Soft's last me 4 seasons, 2 seasons on each pair. I am currently using the all black ones with the fur on the band, keeps my head warm too.

Outdoor technology makes some dope wireless ones for more like action-sport oriented. I have a pair of dj slims that I love to use without a helmet and the bluetooth tags would be perfect with one

My helmet came with spots in the earpads to insert headphones, so I just break a pair of dollar store old style CD player headphones and put in just the speaker part, works good for me, plus they only cost a dollar so it isn't a big deal when they break.

This. They are also coming out with new wireless headphones that are like little coin sized speakers that attach to your helmet where your ears are

my #1 prob with icons - use & movement breaks down the wiring in the cord and eventually one side craps out.......the cable/wiring is too cheap and wears down too fast.
