1. Outdoor Tech Ot0052 Chips

One of the more popular headphones in 2018, the Outdoor Tech OT0052 Chips headphones are quickly becoming a mainstream favorite. This is because it makes it easy to listen to music while skiing or performing any number of other outdoor activities. At the same time, you don’t need to sacrifice on any of the features that you might come to expect from other headphones. In particular, these headphones were made to have a simple design without sacrificing any of the functionality from other headphones. For example, there are no wires to get tangled with, and it’s very easy to travel with. Because of its compact state, they can easily fit with just about any helmet that supports a liner compatible with audio devices. This kind of convenience is one of the most valuable features of these Outdoor Tech headphones.

 

2. UCLEAR HBC120 PLUS

Think about the last time that you had to stay inside the lodge when you really wanted to get on the slopes but needed to stick around for an expected phone call that you couldn’t miss. What about the time when you couldn’t really hear what you were listening to because the outdoor wind noise was too loud and overpowering over the music? These headphones offer a microphone and great active noise reduction technology, making them a quality choice for any skier to check out. Even though the microphone may seem far from your mouth, the UClear Ski Helmet Headphones are equipped with technology that isolates your speaking voice and produces a high-quality phone call. In fact, your caller might be very surprised to learn you’re actually on the slopes during that phone call!

 

3. Vnetphone V8

It wasn’t that long ago that a set of sports helmet headphones were an inconceivable idea. These days, it’s pretty easy to get a good set of ski helmet headphones that double well for all other occasions. With the Vnetphone V8 headphones, you won’t have any trouble listening to your tunes while you’re skiing or even cycling. It’s not an overstatement to say that these headphones could be the future of listening to music on the go, especially for those who like to be active in the wide open outdoors. With the help of this device, the user can also take control of their music library using the voice control feature along with a number of other function controls. Other controls include playlist toggling and music volume, all of which can be reached easily while in use.

 

4. Smith Optics Skullcandy Direct Connect Audio Kit

Although they’re a little more difficult to fit under certain helmets, the Skullcandy Direct Connect offers a sound quality considering how inexpensive it is compared to other headphones. Although the music quality will be great, there is no microphone or set of controls, which means you won’t be able to pause your music or even respond to a phone call while on the go. Otherwise, it’s an affordable set of headphones that work well with their compact design.

 

5. Skullcandy Crusher

Another option from Skullcandy is the Skullcandy Crusher Over-Ear Headphones for those who want to rock out and have the helmet to accommodate the bulk. There should be no surprise that Skullcandy finds itself on this list a second time, however; the company is rather well-known for creating high-end headphones that can withstand the harshest outdoor weather without costing nearly as much as other fragile high-end headphones. As an added bonus, you may be able to qualify for a discounted replacement if these headphones should break while you’re out skiing.

 

6. Bose SIE2i Sport

If you’re looking for something affordable while seeking something compact and portable, much like a set of in-ear buds, then you won’t be disappointed with the SIE2i Sport Headphones that Bose has to offer. These are designed to fit very well so that they won’t fall out of your ear even when you are catching air on the slopes. You’ll also get to take advantage of a free Reebok armband that lets you easily carry along an MP3 player for convenience. Not only do you get the sound quality of Bose, but you’ll also get headphones made with materials that can withstand the weather elements with ease. If you want headphones that can keep up with you, then Bose’s are the way to go.

 

7. 66 Audio BTS+

As far as Bluetooth headphones go, the 66 Audio BTS+ are definitely great, according to users and experts alike. They may seem to be a bit bigger than some of the competition because they’re made to go on the ears instead of inside. However, they’re actually fairly small compared to other headphones that go on the ear. They’re also lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for longer periods.

 

8. Jaybird X2 Sport

Another set of Bluetooth headphones, the Jaybird X2s are earbuds that fit snugly and can resist sweat on its exterior, which makes them great for both skiers and runners. They don’t seem like your typical earbuds at first, sharing the same cord that wraps behind the neck. They also include a built-in remote for controlling music and calls. Not only that, but they’re water resistant as well. If this is the new standard for ski helmet headphones, then we’re definitely in.

 

9. KOKKIA Helmet Bluetooth Earphone : Bluetooth Stereo Music and Voice. Answer in-coming call by saying ‘hello’

Another set of great Bluetooth earbuds, the Kokkia Helmet Bluetooth Earphone offer an affordable cost without having to sacrifice much of the sound quality. Truth be told, the headphones won’t really stand up compared to the Jaybird or the 66 Audio BTS+, but they’re still great compared to the competition of similarly-priced products. They’re also conveniently easy to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device and very easy to set up and secure inside your helmet.

 

10. Monster iSport Freedom

The iSport Freedom from Monster is one of the finest examples of what skiers are looking for in a quality set of Bluetooth ski helmet headphones. It has a lengthy playtime on a single charge and is constructed quite well, offering a durable design that will work for any skier or runner. They’re also just neat to look at too.

 

Each set of headphones has its own unique features and factors to consider when thinking of which headphones to wear on the slopes. Some factors include withstanding the elements, durability, how they fit in the helmet, how much they cost and how they sound.
