Skullcandy Icon Soft Headphones - 2009

Have had them for 4 days and only one ear works

Flat out, these bad boys were made for snowboarding w/out a helmet. For snowboarding they are perfect. Like others have said, they will slip off your head if they are not secured by goggles or wearing a baseball cap underneath. If you want all around headphones, i would look elsewhere, for snowboarding these are the bees knees. You might be able to fit these under a helmet that has no padding (Capix wakeskate). I have a capix wakeskate lid but i keep the padding in and these headphones do not fit underneath comfortably.

I would have given these headphones 5 stars, but like some previous reviews, I found that they are pretty useless for just cruising around, skating etc due to them not gripping your head too well and slipping off. However the main purpose i bought them for is snowboarding, and for this purpose, they are rad. Just put your goggles over the top to lock them in place and then try to look as steezy as possible.
Sound quality is pretty good for a $30 pair of headphones.

Rocked these last season, and loved em! Way comfy with the new design and cushions. Good sound quality, and durable. Lots of cool colors to choose from, and you can even switch out some pieces to get even more variety. Good riding headphones!

Sound Quality= Average
Durability= Below Average (two left speakers have blown out on both my pairs and the wire is beginning to unwind.
Comfort= Above average but yeah they dont stick on your head at all,at least not mine.

Bottom line is that i think im done with skullcandy and am gonna try some other company

I don't know why some people complain about the lowriders they are way much better than these. I gotta say that yeah, they have a very good sound quality but not better and the soft version of the icons is more comfortable than the normal ones (if you are not wearing a hat)but the headband it's annoying after a while.
Bottom line: an average headphones, if you ask me.

These headphones are great for snowboarding BUT nothing else at all. the soft fit makes them unnoticable on your head but they also fall off easier. just put your goggle strap over the headphones and your good to go. sound quality is decent but nothing special. when your just listening to music these headphones WILL NOT stay on your head. I would reccomend these for the mountain definateley but if you dont ride dont pick theses up. get the hesh if your just jammin.

I bought a pair of regular icons and then these. i didnt know that the "soft" also implied that the plastic band that goes over your head is softer too. which means they dont hug your head hardly at all. they barely stay on my head walking around less alone riding or skating. and to add to it the foamy thing that goes over each speaker isnt foam on these. its some really smooth nice feeling cloth. feels nice but just contributes more to them sliding off. definitly skip out on these. the regular icons have much better hold and grip on your head. the only good thing about these is the nylon braided cord.
