I have a decent pair of earphones for listening to my tunes. The problem I have is that they are wired to my phone, so when spinning around and rolling in the snow they get pulled out of my ears. I was thinking about a set of bluetooth earphones, like the Sony HBH-DS980.
Any opinions? What do you use? |

Yes ... but it;s either skullcandy lowriders if there's no toys and can wear a beanie, or it's sennheiser cx300's under the lid ... no bluetooth stuff for me, it's another thing to charge and go wrong and I've never heard a pair with decent sound either. Probably no help at all to you, but it seemed like u needed some love  |

Don't you have any friends? If someone in our party decided they'd rather listen to music than speak to anyone, I think they'd soon find themselves ignored. And surely you could do with having decent hearing on the slopes? |

I think you're on about the icons, I've got some, they're awesome.
Think I'm going to see what the WE ones are like on Friday. |

Please go and read the "loving" thread in the inn ... Bigbols is only asking for advice on which headphones are best, not whether you think he has enough friends! Spread the love pleeeease ... it;s xmas!!

yes I have friends. are you trying to insult me? thats not a very friendly thing to say first time you speak to someone. I doubt you have many with that mouth on ye. get some manners.
I like to get psyched with some music as I hit the jumps in a park or do a run down the pipe, that's all. |

| I listen to music but have them wired into my helmet so I can hear my friends also... but to be fair it is not often that when I am riding we have conversations... A bit of Prodigy always gets me going too fast for my own good... I'm not really sure of the quality of the headphones but I am not a big music person, to me they all sound the same... although that could be due to the large number of loud bangs I hear at work ruining my ears |

| When I'm riding I like to hear what's going on around me for safetys sake more than anything, so if I have music on I tend to use my helmet built in ones at a reasonably low level. |
