Earbuds for skiing suck. So I want to buy some inexpensive over the ear headphones. I heard the icon 1's were better than the icon 2's. is this truth? Looking for input

Cant speak for icon 1s. I had a pair of icon 2s that broke in 2 months. I never bought skullcandy again.

I know outdoor technology makes some over ear headphones, I've never tried them but I heard they work pretty well

Bluetooth DJ slims. I have a pair and theyre awesome but I dont know if Id ski with them. Theyre an investment to me. Had em for over a year and theyre still working great.

Urbanears tanto. Tiny little flexible aluminum band they kill it under a helmet

I use these Sony headphones and they're tight, sound great and are somewhat durable. Only $20 at your local walmart or best buy. I saw them at Guitar Center for $15 one time but not sure if they're still that price

only down side is that they don't fit under a helmet. Urban ears are awesome though if you wear a helmet and don't mind paying a little extra. I haven't tried Outdoor tech's stuff but i've heard nothing but good things about them!

Don't get Skullcandies, they suck.

Koss Porta Pro. Good sound quality, inexpensive, light. Seriously these will sound so much better than the Icons, you won't even believe it. Strong bass but still a balanced sound. Should be able to find them for 35 bucks or so.

Skullcandy is the Monster Cable of headphones. They make cheap shit, slap on fancy graphics and overcharge. Don't give them money.
