    Everyone knows that snowboarding and music go hand in hand, so as we ramp up for the upcoming season we have an exciting giveaway opportunity for our readers this week - a set of headphones from 2XL.

    2XL is a new line of inexpensive headsets by Skullcandy, launched earlier this year.  There are six types of headsets with seven different unique styles and colors.  They sent us one of each model to try out and compare - We demoed one of each type of headset, and I have to say I really liked them all for different reasons.

    • Groove: Basically, these headphones are like iPod headphones with adjustable active ear bude grips attachment that keeps them attached to your ear while moving.  They are perfect for running and exercising because they are light and fit nicely in your ear, while staying put.  Retail - $14.99
    • Spoke: (Westbound Boarder favorite) By far my favorite set, this pair fits deep inside the ear and features noise insulation, in-ear acoustics and changeable gels to fit ears all shapes and sizes.  I love this set because the sound is great quality and cancels out most background noise around you so you can really focus on the music.  Plus, they are super comfortable.  Retail - $14.99 (pictured above)
    • Brickyard: DJ-style headphone with over-ear design, comfort headband suspension and full dynamic acoustic range. The fit is a bit odd, but the sound is great (very full, and good base) and they are super light, so they’d be perfect for snowboarding if you like full surround sound.  Retail - $34.99
    • Grid: Most like your typical, everyday set of headphones, this set features on-ear design, headband suspension and a dynamic acoustic range.  The sound isn’t as full as the Brickyard set, but still not bad.  Retail - $19.99
    • Ratio: These headphones most resemble the typical, everyday set that comes with your iPod, with a silicone wrap.  The earpieces are a bitbigger so if you have smaller ears I’d recommend the Spokes, but you can’t beat the price.  Retail - $9.99
    • 4 Corners: Similar to the Ratio but with square-shaped earpads.  I didn’t love the sound and fit as much as the others, but with square-shaped earpads, the look is super unique.  Retail - $19.99
    GIVEAWAY: Thanks to 2XL, one of our lucky readers (yup, could be you) will get a set of their very own.  To enter, leave a comment below telling us your favorite shred tunes.  At the end of the week (Sunday night) we’ll randomly pick one commentor who will get to choose which pair of headphones they’d like for their own.  For detailed information and photos of the new 2XL line, check out their online catalog.
    UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks to everyone for entering!

    Ah! This is awesome, I’ve been looking for new headphones. Music always helps get me motivated, on the mountain or off. Shred to The Deadly Syndrome “I Hope I Become a Ghost.” Perfect mix of mellow and upbeat.

    I LOVE to shred with Celtic Rock (either The Young Dubliners, Flogging Molly, or anything like that) Gets my heart pounding and my body moving!

    Rage Against the Machine - Bombtrack

    High energy + mellow-ish tempo= sicky ride.
