What Headphones are best for Skiing?

What are good, comfortable headphones to wear while skiing with a helmet on over-top?

  • I have used in-ear ear buds and regular ear buds and the next thing to try are the over-ear dj like headphones, but I have been told that they will be uncomfortable under a helmet. ...show more

  • Answer:

    This is the best system...if you can afford it. I use a Giro Helmet fitted with a Motorola Bluetooth Audio System. It is a TuneUps wireless and can control the iPod on my iPhone. It is easy to change songs and volume levels by rotating the earphone controls with my gloves on! It costs about $200 plus the cost of the Giro Helmet, plus the cost of your iPhone or an iPod with a bluetooth adapter fitted to it. You can put your iPhone in airplane mode to prevent phone calls from coming in...however you can use it in mountain to make and receive calls...but that defeats the purpose of escaping when you ski. However the bad part about this system is you look like a tank commander and the flashing blue light that indicates the bluetooth is working freaks other skiers out when skiing at night :)

they will be very uncomfortable and will most likely break if you fall, the only way to get away with over the top headphones is to not where a helmet at all
