So I'm thinking about picking up a pair of icon 3s... I plan to wear them under my goggles and I'm just wondering if the goggle strap will affect the taptech thing, also a review of the headphones would be appreciated

Why be mainstream? do you really want the same headphones as everyone else on the mountain?

idk i've just seen them a lot so i assume they're a decent pair of headphones. I'm willing to look into others, any recommendations?

The DJ slims by outdoor technology. Ian Compton uses them I think. They are bluetooth and very durable. Pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for. http://www.outdoortechnology.com/Shop/DJ-Slims/

oh yeah, i looked at those, the price isnt bad. only thing that concerns me is the button on the side, wouldn't the pressure from my goggle strap mash all the buttons?

I have no idea about that, it seems like it would. But it doesent seem to give people problems. Maybe you need a good amount of pressure to press them. Nothing a goggle strap gives off. and the goggle strap pressure is spread out too.

I dont think they would. Ive had the slims for almost 2 years and theyre going strong still. You have to be pretty specific with when you press on it and the buttons are kind of solid too.

Also, the buttons are - for the most part - on the actual earpiece. Your Goggle strap usually does not go over your ears. It won't be an issue.

For sure, i might buy the other colors just incase another breaks, to color coordinate, or to steeze up my gaper friends

I love doing that, I have this buddy that just had his first year skiing. I decided to put my saga and FD on him. This was the result. Click for larger image
