I usually don’t have music playing when I ride. I’d rather hear the sweet sound of steel cutting through corduroy or lack of when floating in powder. I also like to hear the out of control person about to hit me from behind. I also can’t have tunes going when I’m working on the mountain, it’s not professional. In the office though, I rock a pair of wesc headphones.
The wesc headphones I rock out with at work.
Through college I relied on my Roxy Headphone Beanie. I went to school in upstate NY and it got cold. Walking across campus I was warm and oblivious to my surroundings and when I wasn’t feeling class, my professors never knew that I never heard their lectures. The headphones were kind of cheap inside the Roxy hat, but that is not what killed them. My clumsy ass stepped on it one day in my snowboard boots.
So in light of the upcoming season, along with my new binding purchase (Rome Madison’s very soon!), I am looking to acquire a new headphone beanie. I’m also a fan of toasty toes, so I’m looking into these Merrell Slides
.
Does anyone have any suggestions on nice headphone beanie? One that is both comfortable and has decent sound quality is preferred. What do you get suckered into buying for the cold months?
