Good Head phones - Snowboarding Forum

deerpark30 · 09-30-2009, 07:09 PM

I dont know what section this would go in, but i was looking into buying some new head phones for the season so i can jam down the Mt. Not ear buds, but the ones that cover your whole ear. Any suggestion from somebody that already has them?

well if your looking at the skullcandy route i personally know that the skullcrushers rock! they have such sick sound and dont drain your battery cause of the amp and you can adjust how much bass they have. also the icon are pretty popular and very comfy. they have 30mm drivers so the sound is much better than expected. nixon makes good headphones that are very stylish as well as sony to name some others

buy something cheap enough that you wont be upset if you break them.

I wouldn't trust them to stay together in a large impact, but i throw my XD200s around just fine.

I'd just get some Icon's, Cheap, decent quality, and then you get the Skullcandy warranty. Break them riding and you get 50% off your next pair.

same here, my favorite headphones to ride with are the icon/recruit line. low profile, cheap and the sound quailty is good enough while im moving down the hill. i would stay away from all those huge head phones from SC for riding, just not practical. i actually just picked up a new pair off Whiskey Militia for $12 and thats with shipping. i broke quite a few pairs in my time but whenever they did it wouldnt have mattered what kind of head phones they were, no fault on SC themselves.

I find my cheap walmart sony headphones sound better than my skullcandys. ? And when they break you can toss em.
