you shouldn't be choosing your helmet by what kind of headphones you have. you should get the helmet that fits you the best

'over the heads' like that will feel awkward with a helmet. Use earbuds.

Seriously, just earbuds. Never got why people started using Icon's, that means you Black Steve, fuck you.

i have kicker hp201s and they are sick. they also seem alot sturdier that skullcadys. and if you wear them around your neck instead of over your head, it works alot better

FInd a helmet that fits. Then get the audio attachment for the ears. Chances are whatever brand you pick has an audio option.

If not, buy the skull candy twin shot and DIY it.

Smith Maze ftw.

I wear $20 skull candy's and they work fine. Ear protectors on my helmet cover the earbuds and everyone has a good time. No french frying when I'm supposed to pizza.

in middle school and into high school (im a sr in college now) i was amped on that idea. I always had the giro ones for whichever helmet. But they were annoying to deal with and often broke, and as soon as I started using apple ear buds I haven't gone back.

Apple headphones wont do you wrong... and are cheap/ easy to replace

Apple headphones are overpriced junk. So uncomfortable and sound awful. Way better options out there for cheaper/better sound quality.

You can get beats that are designed to fit in some of the poc helmets.

agreed, but you can always find a friend with a pair laying around. So they are often free and disposable.

I got these guys too, they are sick. Im just afraid to ski with them. For me, they cut out too much sound for ski purposes where its nice to hear peripherals too
