Good headphones

Anybody got recommendations for an inexpensive pair of wireless headphones to ski with under my helmet? I do have earpads on my helmet so def need something low profile.
 
I liked the skull candy dime. Small, light, and cheap. Got them because they seemed decent and if I loose them I wouldn't be too sad. Lost them but will buy them again. Not the longest battery, but decent sound quality

1st gen airpods are the best skiing headphones I've found and you can find them fairly cheap at this point. Only solution I've found that let's me play/pause/skip/change volume without taking my gloves off. I have the airpod pros as well but don't ski with them since pulling my glove off to squeeze them is annoying.
 
I got skullcandy Jib True wireless this year. 30 at Best Buy. I use one bud, and keep the other bud in the charging case, because the sound goes Mono automatically when you only use one.

I'm envious of anyone whose ear shape plays nice with AirPods. I wear my gen 1s constantly at work in the office, but as soon as I start moving, they'll fall out of my ears. I need rubber tips if I'm being active.

OP, if you have weird ears like me, maybe look into the Beats Studio Buds. They're $100 and have all the same features of AirPods (since Beats is owned by Apple), and they fit my ears way better with the rubber tips. It's one of the better values for true wireless buds.

I wear a blackstrap that covers my ears and kinda holds them in, though they'd probably stay in without it. How are the controls on the beats? Can you pause/skip without taking gloves off?

Yeah it's actually pretty nice. You can bop it with your gloved finger once to play/pause, twice to skip, three times for reverse, and push to hold for Siri. No squeezing or fancy swipes like the more expensive options.
 
the Beats Studio Buds were on sale at Costco for $100. I'd bet they still are there. I have a pair. They are great
