In my opinion it’s Jetskis, they sound kinda plastic but somehow in a good way. Vishnu is a close second.

For real
somburdI like the way V's sound in slush, almost hollow

Very nice observation I could never put it into words but that makes perfect sense I can just hear it in my head.





OP I gotta say, nothing compares to on3ps, sounds like a bomb going off when you land.

The sound of my on3p tips slapping together on landing sounds like a whip cracking or a jet breaking the sound barrier.

its an orgasmic sensation to say the least

The sound of solid bindings is a whole nother factor than needs its own attention

i agree with @egirl.ski than attacks do have a sturdy click sound

There was a blister panel discussion which included a Salomon binding engineer and they do consider the sound it makes when you clip in.

there’s definitely something to the comfort of the sound of the positive engagement of a binding on a boot.

On3Ps sound like a gunshot echoing through the hills.
Vishnu slap is also a satisfying sound.
