Music is an essential part of my daily life. I use crappy apple earbuds for skiing usually, and this year I'm looking to upgrade. The last earbud thread I could find was 2 years old, so I want some updated input. I'm currently looking at the Klipsch S4i II. Any other suggestions?

i currently use some philips earphones i bought from a local store. they were cheap, but they have a good sound to them. the reason i bought cheaper earbuds is that when i'm skiing i tend to break them. go cheap is my advise!

I wouldn't get anything too expensive for skiing, as I have broken more pairs of earbuds, skiing than everywhere else

I've gone through multiple pairs of skullcandy. They have a sick warranty but after a while you just want to listen to music instead of fill out warranty papers. I'd stay clear of them unless your on a budget or can get great deals on em.

How small is the breast pocket? I have no problem fitting my S4 in my breast pocket.

On the topic of earbuds, does anyone have experience with bluetooth earbuds? Looking at the OT Tags but unsure if it's worth it?

I have a pair of $15 Sony buds from target that are surprisingly high quality.

I've never used the Tags but have heard some good things but have enjoyed all of the other OT products i have used.

Just buy the cheapest skullcandy buds. I think they're called "Jibs" or something like that. The sound is ok but it's nothing special. They're $8 USD and will usually last a season. I can't comment on any other brands because I don't care enough so I just use skullcandy.

skullcandy chops work like magic because they actually stay in your ears

For wireless, go jbirds you cannot beat them, if you want sound isolation and great quailty get etymotic hf5 or mc4 or 5
