Yo. 

I'm looking for some decently priced headphones for when I ride without a helmet (my helmet has headphones in it). 

I'm thinking i'm gonna go with Skullcandy, but only because that's the only brand I know of that make a quality "Action Sport"  headphones.

Something similar to the Skullcandy Lowrider or Icon/Recruit

Can someone point me in a a good direction?

Thanks guys...

I'm most likely gonna go with the lowriders, for sound quality and the full ear cup. 

But from the responses I'm getting,  I guess SkullCandy is sort of the only option I have as far as companies.  

No wonder I hadn't heard of anyone else.

i've said this in every headphone thread....

wal-mart - $15, good sound quality, if you fall and break them you're not out $60 on headphones.

if i didnt have a helmet id wear icon/ recriuits everytime i went skiing, theyre real nice and have great sound quality for the money - i wouldnt reccomend wearing any time of ear-bud as they mit get pretty uncomfortable and the point of using earbud type headphones are when you have a helmet that they can fit under - really any type of skulcandy headphone id reccomend for sking since they have good sound quality and with theyre warranty you cant go wrong if you break them

 I have tried the lowriders they are really comfy and good sound but dont really go over your ear that well.
