07-08 Skullcandy iCon Review

Skullcandy's iCon headphone is a super-lightweight pair of over-the-ear headphones.

The iCon is a great headphone from Skullcandy. The main selling point of the iCon is that they're lightweight. Slap them on over your hat and you'll hardly even know you're wearing them. I really like the way they fit over your head. The double-band means that it really hugs your head, but doesn't have any pressure points, the way a plastic band normally would. 

The sound quality is pretty good, considering how lightweight and inexpensive the headphones are. They're a bit tinny sounding, and they crackle at high volumes, but you probably shouldn't be listening to music that loud when you're riding anyways.

It would be nice if the cord was just a bit longer, it's fine for most things, but an extra couple of inches would make a difference.  

07-08 Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Review

The Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) is a great music solution for snowboarders who want an earbud headphone with the full sound of a pair of quality over-ear headphones.

Skullcandy's FMJ headphones are a styley, lightweight, and great sounding option for on-mountain tunes. You get full, rich sound in a sick metal shell. 

The buds come with three different sizes of silicon grommets, so you can be sure that they'll fit in your ear comfortabley. They form a comfortable seal betweeen the headphone and your ear, which helps block outside noise; so well, I recommend riding with only one of them in your ear, so that you don't block out the sounds of other people on the mountain. 

They're a little pricey, but you're not going to find a pair of ear-bud headphones with this kind of sound quality for any less.

Can't compete with higher-end headphones, but for the price, pretty hard to beat for something to snowboard with.  

I bought a pair of iCons after seeing many people riding with them on the mountain. They're super comfy, the two separate bands fit over a hat nicely, and are thin enough that your goggle strap goes over them without creating pressure points.

The sound quality isn't anything mind-blowing, but they do the job better than most light-weight headphones.

Looks-wise, I think they're amazing. There are several different colors available, and they're all pretty rad. They definitely stand out from most headphones you see.
