There aren't really any with good sound. Why not wear headphones?

Just 1 less thing I don't have to bring with me... And the ease of changing songs.

I ripped the speakers out of a pair of sony headphones and stuffed them in my giro shiv, which was made so you could put their audio kit in it. It actually works really well, sounds great, and the cable is waaaay longer then apple buds. I run the cord down my sleeve to my mitt, and clip my OG iPod nano onto a strap on my mitt, and then strap my jacket cuff overtop of the mitt's cuff which then covers the nano. Easy to change songs, and the cable doesn't pull weird on my helmet at all. I'll post pics when I feel ambitious and if you PM me as a reminder.

I have the k2 phase pro w/ built in audio. Its a pretty dooe helmet, but the speakers were set too far back behind my ears, i have heard other people having this problem. It makes the sound quality not as good and quieter. I run my goggles under my helmet now though.

I've got a pro-tec b2 with speakers and after two weeks of skiing the sound starting getting sketchy, I would hear nothing if I moved the cable or if the helmet got bumped. Now I've just taken out the speakers and I ski musicless.
If you've been skiing with music for a long time I recommend going without a couple times, it feels very different. I really enjoy the sound of the snow crunching as I carve and the wind in my ears when I fly down the hill!
