 Very poor qualityApr 18, 2011
By Eugene Feingold
I listen to music. A lot. I've had dozens of headphones over the years. The last time I had a set fall apart this quickly was when I bought a $5 set of earbuds from Walgreens.
I skied with these for about 10 days before the insulation started separating around the various junctions of the wire. By day 15 I had to jiggle the various connections to get stereo sound. I tossed 'em in the garbage and got myself a Bluetooth helmet.
On top of the very poor durability, the button would get jammed at the slightest bit of moisture and cold. Shockingly, both are in abundance while skiing.
I wouldn't pay $20 for this product. You shouldn't either.

 nice headphones with a mic and volume controlJan 08, 2012
By ChristianV
These are decent headphones for the price. Not audiophile quality, but pretty good. The lows are attenuated below about 28hz, but the sounds is clear and there is minimal distortion even at high volume (with a iPhone 4S as the source)
The nicest thing about the headset is the single button on the detachable cable. It can be used to answer calls (single click while the phone is ringing), forward to the next song (double click while a song is playing), pause the music (single click while the music is playing), invoke Siri (hold the button down in any mode).
The volume control has a bonus feature. Turn the volume control all the way down past the detent and it turns the headset into a monaural set.
My callers describe the mic quality as good, with a fair bit of wind noise.
The only complaint I have about the set was the lack of a instruction manual and the lack of any left and right markers anywhere on the earphones. The only way to tell which was left and which was right was to use test tones.
FWIW, the monaural mode is left side only.
On my 2010/2011 Smith Variant brim helmet the installation was very easy. Simply unzip the earpad, slide the headphones in and route the cable out the left grommet hole.

Total garbage - no more skullcandy products for meDec 06, 2011
By James
I've owned both Giro and Smith helmets and both brands rely on skullcandy to provide integrated auido for their helmets. After tiring of the Giro/skullcandy systems breaking/shorting out after a few weeks I decided to try the Smith/skullcandy helmet with the Singleshot audio system. This one didn't work right out of the box.
The speakers will play, but the button on the controller doesn't work at all. It doesn't answer the phone, won't advance or pause a song, and appears to be of typical skullcandy low quality. I tried the system with an Iphone, ipod nano, and an ipod classic. Nothing works.
I'm done with Skullcandy products! Smith/Giro/k2/others, please find a different partner for audio.

Does it's job like it's supposed toDec 21, 2011
By jacomstephens
Our family owns three of these that we use in our Smith ski helmets. We have used them 25+ days per year for the last two years without any problems. I'm not an audiophile, so the speakers may not be the absolute highest fidelity out there, but they can be turned up quite loud with minimal distortion and sound great to me. The cord with the clicker mic is great. We use them plugged into our iPhones and it is nice to have a big button that can still be used with thick ski gloves on to skip a song, start and stop the music, answer a phone call, etc. It is EXTREMELY convenient to be able to quickly turn off the music when someone starts to talk to you on the lift or skip a lame song while you're flying down the mountain. I've wrecked pretty hard face first in deep powder more than once and skied in very cold temperatures and the clicker has never stopped working. I don't think it's advertised as water resistant or environmentally sealed, but I have yet to have one poop out on me and we've used them a lot! The only thing that is a bit difficult to do with thick gloves on is to change the volume. I would definitely buy this again and have recommended it to friends.

Smith Skullcandy Single-Shot Helmet Audio KitFeb 11, 2012
By Skullcandy
The sound at first was great but after riding 6 straight days and almost white out conditions, I am having problems with the left ear phone. For the price I would still recommended them but if you're hard on your gear expect about a half season use or just use them on bluebird days. Smith Skullcandy Single-Shot Helmet Audio Kit
