pow4ever Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I would think most true wireless earbud would work great under the helmet ear flap? Jabra elite active 65t can be pick up pretty cheaply @ about ~$60(shop around for factory condition). Great ear bud for gym/running. It's IP56 (for our use case should be "water proof" enough). Plus it have "hear through" feature. Maybe another option for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I pretty much always listen to music while carving, for many of the reasons stated here and because I enjoy it. I have yet to find a purpose-built set of headphones for snowboarding that has decent audio quality; IMO, most ski/snowboard headphones use cheap junk for drivers. So whenever I buy a new helmet, I also buy a nice set of headphones, dismantle them, and install them directly into my new helmet’s earpads. I always use wired headphones, for reliability (and to a lesser extent: low power consumption). These are particularly well-suited to the purpose: beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006NL5SM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I don’t like in-ear headphones for snowboarding because they either seem to get uncomfortable over time, or work their way loose. They also make it more difficult to hear things when you have the music off. I really like this bluetooth controller for play/pause/skip/rewind/volume chubby buttons: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FBQ3PCF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have velcroed that to the inside of my trailing-arm pocket, so that it cant fall off or get bumped accidentally. I can push the big buttons easily without removing my gloves or having to open my pocket because: - it is velcroed securely in position with the buttons facing out. - i drew a little dot on the fabric outside my jacket so I know exactly where to press for each button. works like a charm!

About 20 years ago I picked up a set of these.(Actually bought their entry level set for the 6yr old daughter when the first ipod was released, in ear so there wasn't much volume, vs apples earbuds that weren't in ear and had to be turned up to loud) https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones/er4-new.html Audiophile, meaning flat from 20-20khz, in ear so you don't need volume, safer for the ear, expensive, I've sent mine back twice for repair, free, summers I roller skate with them and tons of sweat has never been a problem, they have never dislodged unless I snag them with something. I skate and ride to Biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
