what are the best headphones or earplugs for snowboarding, something that sounds good but stays on your head/in your ears and are fairly sturdy
I am going to be using the RocketFish Bluetooth Stereo Headphones paired with my HTC G1 this season. I will review that experience later, but I have been using this setup for casual use for quite some time now and it rocks! The behind-the-head design stays put and no cords is definitely the WTG. If you see me on the mountain talking to myself, leave me alone, I'M ON THE PHONE! 😎 =====Rocketfish Bluetooth High-Definition Stereo Headphones for Most Bluetooth-Enabled Devices Black RF-MAB2[html]
[/html]For me its the built in earphones on my Bern helmet. They keep my ears warm, have decent sound quality, and tune most things on the mountain out except when someone gets really close and almost hits you. I guess that would be my favorite part, if I can hear someone through the music, that means there is about to be a crash. On soft days or low mountain days, just some good ole Sony Studio Pro headphones, $40 at music stores, staples, etc. Perfect sound quality, stays on my head nicely, and keeps my ears warm.
Hey Travis, I know that keeping your ears warm there in VT is no small task! I'm gonna have to check out those Bern helmets. I think I saw some at Dick's.
Frosty I'm going to have to check out those wireless headphones! I was looking for something like that just the other day for backcountry work. Perfect! And if you need a new helmet, I recommend the Bern ones. They're pretty comfortable, and the way the headphone cord connects to the helmet is through the back of the neck, just side of center. Almost lines up perfectly with the Burton media pocket design. Not so well with Ride's though, but still comfortable.
Yeah I will check those out for sure. It is about time for a new helmet for me anyways. :angel: Oh I forgot to mention, for the G1 you can get extended batteries for more juice for linger listening (on eBay for under $10). If you have good cell coverage on the mountain you can rock music apps like Pandora, TuneIn, IheartRadio etc…
