In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
A Media Matters analysis finds that the Sunday shows covered climate change more in the first half of 2014 than in the last four years combined, following a push from nine U.S. Senators for increased coverage. Although these shows gave the issue more coverage, at times they used false balance, enshrouding the scientific consensus surrounding climate change.
Fox News has devoted a significant amount of time to finding new ways to baselessly attack the Women's Health Protection Act, a federal bill that would counteract laws that single out and punish abortion providers. The network parroted extreme anti-choice talking points and largely ignored the opinion of leading health organizations that these laws have dangerous consequences for women.

I will attempt to keep this updated with the players who have be placed on waivers by our teams as well as listing any successful waiver claims.
If you are claiming someone off of waivers, make sure you manipulate your roster so that the player will fit within the roster restrictions; 9 starting forwards, 4 starting dman, 5 bench, and 6 minor leaguers. The best method to do major league players is to put the player you are going to drop on your bench, and when keying in the waiver add, make sure you choose the new player to go to your bench. Also, make sure your major roster is within cap regulations if possible. If adding a minor leaguer, just make sure you choose the added player to go to the Minors, again while making sure your within cap regulations if possible.
We have a 25 man roster limit, this consisting of 14 active players, 5 reserve players and 6 prospects/minor players.
If a free agent claim is made that puts your team above the 25 player limit, a player MUST be waived to create room for the free agent.
Our waiver claim system works like this:
Reverse Order of Standings (serpentine)
When Waiver Wire claims are processed, the lowest ranked team in the standings at that time gets first pick, the second lowest team gets second pick, and so on, all the way up to the first place team. Then in the next round, the first place team gets first pick, the second place team gets second pick, and so on, all the way down to the last place team. If a team doesn't have any more pending claims, their turn is skipped. This process continues until all teams have no more claims. For example, in a 4-team league, the order would go: 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.

A pure athlete with exceptional speed, Owens was named to the All-OVC team in 1988 and was the league's Player of the Year in 1990. At the conclusion of his junior year, Owens became the Blue Raiders' highest-ever MLB draft pick when he was taken in the second round by the Minnesota Twins. By the time he was 24, Owens was the starting catcher for Colorado but a thumb injury ended his career after only four years with the Rockies.

In the early spring of 1975, a pair of long-time supporters of Middle Tennessee State University's athletic program decided that the University should honor its greatest athletes. Homer Pittard, alumni director, and Gene Sloan, public relations director, came up with the idea and asked sports information director Jim Freeman to join them in setting up an athletic hall of fame.
After getting approval for the Hall of Fame from President M. G. Scarlett, the trio began laying the groundwork to select the first inductees. Others, including Bob Womack and Joe Nunley, were also involved.
"We decided not to have categories but to put all candidates in one group," said Freeman. "We also decided against inducting a large group to start with and felt that three per year was the ideal number. That way, everyone got a good share of the spotlight."
The nominating and voting for the first several years was done by members of the old "T" Club, now reorganized and called the Varsity Club. Nominations were solicited, and the the list of candidates was mailed to the voters. They selected Horace Jones, Charles "Bubber" Murphy and Teddy Morris as the initial inductees in 1976.
The Blue Raider Hall of Fame was originally housed in the old Blue Raider Room under the west side of the football stadium. It had to be torn down when then stadium was expanded in 1998. After several years without a home, the Hall of Fame moved into the new Rose and Emmett Kennon Sports Hall of Fame building in 2004.

Transforming the finance function is a key priority for today's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), finds new research by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), but many benefits of shared services and outsourcing remain untapped.
This global ACCA study of CFOs and finance leaders presents findings using data powered by HfS Research. It looks at the adoption of finance shared services and outsourcing models around the world, from the US, Europe and Asia, gauging the views of major global employers such as Ernst & Young, KPMG, General Electric, Sony and Standard Chartered Bank among others.
The survey also provides an insight into the aspirations and expectations of CFOs and other finance leaders in transforming the finance function through shared services and outsourcing.
Among its 10 key findings, the report suggests that the effectiveness of shared services and outsourcing is not fully being realised. Another finding also shows that there is much more scope for the adoption of shared services and outsourcing globally, particularly with 'high value' finance activities.
Jamie Lyon, head of corporate sector at ACCA says: 'This is the first time that a survey like this has talked to CFOs themselves, so it shares views from the ultimate finance customer of shared services. The report explores the initial drivers behind adopting finance shared services and outsourcing finance operations – and considers how these are growing, changing and the success of current approaches. What is clear from the report is that transforming the finance function is a key priority for today's CFO and they have very high aspirations as to what shared services and outsourcing can deliver – however, while it's recognised that shared services and outsourcing has helped reduced cost and drive standardisation and process improvement, the survey suggests CFOs continue to want much more. The other key issue identified is how success is measured….the survey suggests success measurements still remain focused on cost reduction and service level agreements.'
Expert views are also offered in the report from James Meader, partner at Ernst & Young's Advisory Services Practices and from Claudio Altini, director, sourcing advisory from KPMG in the UK. Both assert that cost reduction, efficiency and capability improvement are the main outcomes targeted by shared services, but recognise that businesses are now looking to gain more value from their shared services operations.
The report's 10 key findings from the CFO survey reveal:
- There is much more opportunity for the adoption of shared services and outsourcing globally
- There is more scope to adopt transactional finance processes
- Higher value finance activities remain untapped
- A broad stream of benefits are expected, with efficiency, cost and capability starting out as major drivers of change
- Broader business goals take on more importance over time with a shift in prioritisation
- Effectiveness of shared services and outsourcing can be improved more widely across the board
- Operational challenges in implementation are being met, but minor concerns remain
- Measurement tools used are the usual suspects…
- … as are the measures of success
- Those CFOs who have taken the leap into shared services and outsourcing are more likely to keep investing.

After Vancouver last year there was some over the top talk of Yu Na Kim being possibly the greatest skater ever. I thought that was ridiculous at the time but it is typical bandwagon jumping I guess. Now though it should be obvious she isnt even anywhere near the same league as Michelle Kwan. Yu Na has competed in 5 Worlds and won the title in only 1. Mao Asada and even Miki Ando have more World titles than her in the same period. Imagine Michelle Kwan letting a skater of Miki Ando's level win even one World title in her era, let alone two. Michelle Kwan has FIVE times the number of World titles as Yu Na despite competing in a far tougher era with much more competition.
Furthermore you compare the two as skaters Kwan is clearly superior in every category except jumps and spins where they are roughly equal. Yu Na Kim should never be compared with Kwan again unless she improves the level of her skating a huge amount, and sweeps the World and Olympic titles for the next 3 years. Add to all that Kim's longevity appears to be nowhere near Kwan's when she is already tailing off after only a few years on top, unlike Kwan who was on top of her own game and womens skating for a decade. And that Kim has only done about one clean competitition in her life. The myth Kim is a much stronger jumper should already be dispelled by the fact Kim doesnt even do all 5 standard triples, as a result has never done a 7 triple long program (or maybe once), and hardly has ever done a clean long program even with the triples she has.
If Yu Na Kim skated like she did in Vancouver 80% of the time she would be comparable to Michelle Kwan. As it is however no.

TiPb Asks: What earphones do you use with your iPhone?
What earphones do you use with your iPhone or iPod touch? Yesterday I confessed that I hated my Apple earbuds. Many of you agreed. The TiPb store has a bunch of cool iPhone headset alternatives. Some of you also told me what you like to use and recommended others. I want more. I'm also curious to see what are the most popular earphones among our readers, and if it varies for travel, home listening, gaming or other activities?
So what earphones do you use?
There are 272 comments. Add yours.
just basic skullcandy ones, they are good enough for me
i want some of those i always hear they are the best and my friend Andrea's are amazing.
I like those (and still have them). I used them with my iPods.
I now have the Etymotic hf3 headset for use with my iPhone though. These work really well too.
Plantronics backbeat 216, cheaper than apple's in-ear and has the same volume/play buttons.
Most of the time, I use Sennheiser Adidas Sport headphones. They are the best headphones for the gym and running: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1420ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
I'm pretty picky about earphones. However, I was on a trip and realized I left my headphones at home. I stopped in at an airport store and picked up some Skull Candy headphones for $20. I was really surprised how good they were for only $20.
apple in-ear headphones
if you want the best sound, go with the Shure E535's. Pricey, but they will maximize the sound quality you can get from the iPhone to the Nth degree. Plus, they isolate outside noise; so you don't have to turn the volume all the way up to hear the music.
Personally, I find the Shure E535's a perfect match for the IPhone4.
I love me some Monster Hunter so of course, the Jinouga earbuds. Thank goodness I'm no audiophile so I can't tell if they sound bad or not, to me they sound just as good as my old Zune Premium headphones :) http://www.siliconera.com/postgallery/?p_gal=86427|3
I use the Bose in ear headphones. They work great!
Might sound stupid but I still like the Blackberry headphones even though size and shape they are almost identical to apples, the only difference is the foam cover which I think makes them a little more comfortable.
I do have a pair of Samsung WEP 870 headphones/bluetooth earpiece but they have to be jammed into the ear and while it blocks all other noise I can't wear them for long before I want to get those suckers pulled out.
I can't compare to the apple earphones though, they are still in their plastic wrapping.
Urbanears Medis. Sound good and have a "custom fit" so you can clip them into the fold of your ear. They don't fall out when running or jumping about. Only downfall is that there is a play button, but no volume control.
Tipb if you want to make extreme money contact me, I have a solution for apple ear buds!
Do yourselves a favor and get these badboys! I can talk on the phone in stereo and/or listen to music up to 80ft away! The sound quality is fantastic and better than more expensive wired headphones.
I use Beats by Dre Solo HD here :)
I use a pair of black Sony MDR-EX38IP earbuds, which have a nice balanced sound, with plenty of bass. They have an inline mic and volume/pause control which comes in really handy as well. I paid about $35 for them, which is a pretty good deal for such solid sound quality. So far they've been working flawlessly with my iPhone 4.
I must confess that I'm a huge fan of apple's in-ear earbuds!
Me too! I use a pair of Dr Dre's Studio Beats. But when I can't use those the only replacement for me is the Apple in-ear buds. They have plenty of bass and the top end is so clear! Love em!
Solo HD by Beats by Dr Dre - best by far
I use skull candy. The headphones that comes with the iPhone and iPod are terrible. They are uncomfortable to wear.
i use the Dr Beats Solo HD, and the Zagg SmartBuds
I use the Bose Quiet Comfort 15, Noise Canceling headphones. They are are amazing!!!! And I also use the Bose Bluetooth Headset, again.... AMAZING!!
I use Apple's in-ear earbuds. I'm sure you can find better sound quality, but they're still good at a MUCH lower price than some other brands mentioned here. They're comfortable and I like the attached controls - particularly when I'm exercising and using my Shuffle.
I hate the case that Apple uses for it, though. Best case I've found is from an old pair of Ultimate Ears, so I continue to use it.
My favorite are skullcandy full metal jacket but the mic controls don't work on iPhone 4 so I have to use skullcandy 50/50 which isn't that bad.
Sennheiser MM70 IP
I have an iPhone 4 and Full metal jackets and the mic control works fine. You might want to contact skullcandy to do a warranty exchange.
Well I did contact them. They replied that the iPhone 4 had a different setup on the jack input then the 3GS. They sent me the free 50/50's for my troubles
I use the Bose On-Ear headphones. Super great sound and WAY more comfortable than the stock ear buds that come with the apple stuff
Koss iPorta Pro.
Bose in ear headphones iME2. They have the volume and phone control buttons. Totally awesome earbuds. They don't fall out while running.
Love the Bose iME2 earphones. Great sound, they stay on place at all times. A little pricey bit well worth every penny.
SONY EARPHONEs
Primarily use the apple in ear buds. Unfortunately I used them while I mow the lawn and i got some sweat on them so the buttons don't work very well anymore. I use some klipsch image s2's for my more physical activities. Both sound decent. Someday I'll upgrade.
Beats by Dre studio. Used to use beats Solo, upgraded this winter.
Another vote for skull candy. I have the in ear buds and the over the ear headphones. I love both sets!
I have a set off high end Sony over the ear studios for when I'm not mobile cause they are too bulky, and a cheapo set of LG Bluetooth over the ears for when a cord is not ideal, but for my everydayers, I use they in ear buds from monoprice ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=108&cpid=10823&csid=1082303&pid=6343&seq=1&format=2 ) I'll tell you what, don't let the price tag fool you, these things not only sound great, and knock withthat extra bass you rarely get from ear buds, the design is such that if you "rotate" the buds "into" your ear the kinda lock in so they rarely even fall out, even while at the gym or being active. Totally up there for the best five bucks I have ever spent. Only downside is there is no mic, but I don't like headphones for calls to no biggie for me.
I'm using the originals but I've tried other models from sony and griffin's earthumbs. Both were in-ear. Sony ones were great. Small and had great sound. I used it with a shuffle I had in 2007. Those I end up losing at a gas station. The griffin I used with a 2004 iPod ( classic ) and recently with my iPhone 3GS last year. They fit great but after a while I noticed that it was basically a regular earbud with a rubber insulator. The jack began to fray and there went the sound.
I use in-ear Sony brand ~$40.00 has inline mic and controls. lightweight, some noise isolation, cord manager clip...easily replaceable when lost or crushed (happens more often than you might think when traveling). Good for on-the-road gym. Home base gym I use Moto S9
I have been using v-moda buds. Expensive but sound awesome
I love the in-ear buds. I use the JVC Marshmellows~
Beats by Dre Solo HD & Power Beats by Dre.
I'm using mine only sometimes and only for listening (not talking). And my Sennheisers CX300 are working well, even with Bumper or Vapor case.
Only the best ear buds out on the market!!! Beats by dre tour!
Heartbeats by Lady Gaga, what else!?
..with Georgia's confession...I don't quite like Apple Headphones...
I was using the Apple headphones with inline remote + mic until iRandom's cat chewed them into pieces.. I now happily use $20 JVC Blue Marshmallow In-ear headphones. :)
I use either these $6 Q electronics earbuds I got on Overstock.com (really good by the way, have good bass, on par treble and highs), Or I use my $40 Sony MDR-NC7s (noise canceling, have amazing treble and highs, not too shabby bass, but they make my ears hot after a half an hour). WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY better than apple buds If you're on a budget.
I used Plantronics Backbeat Bluetooth 903. Great bluetooth headphones with suprisingly good sound. great for the gym as well.
Ugh. Beats r Bleh. I use a pair of Audio Technica M50s.
I use the Bose QC15s. Just an amazing set of headphones. The bass is tight and the noise canceling works wonders, especially when I fly. When I exercise, I use the Klipsch S4i earbuds.
I use 3 sets,
My V-Moda Vibe Duo's, Monster Turbines and V-Moda Crossfade LP's :] I love the low end if u can tell:P and I listen to mostly thrash metal, jazz and classical lol next I'm going for a pair of senheisser's
Skullcandy all the way. I even bought a new pair of the same ones after my dog chewed them up. I can't stand the apple ones. I only ever used them when my BT died and I need the backup.
V-Moda, LOVE those earphones. Are pretty much bullet proof and have phenomenal bass response!
Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi
Agree that Apple's earbuds are spectacularly substandard...for my ears, at least. They literally fall out of my ears by force of gravity. Maybe it's a design flaw with my ears and not the headphones. At any rate, switched to Etymotic after the first generation Apple buds were redesigned. Currently using HF3s with iPhone 4, excellent combo. Great sound, good inline mic & controls, love them.
I use the Klipsch S1's but have my eyes(or ears) on the Etymotic ER4's. Good earphones are easily the best upgrade you can make. Turns sound into music.
I have two pairs of headphones that I regularly use:
Klipsch S4i's (http://amzn.to/ifN7Ks) and Zagg SmartBuds (http://j.mp/grQ2Tp).
At $49 the SmartBuds actually sound better than the $99 S4i's. However, the S4i's have better controls.
The S4i's use integrated electronic controls for the system volume controls while the SmartBuds use a separate sliding control for volume.
The sliding control can accidentally get pushed up or down during use and it doesn't provide absolute audio control - it's relative based on the volume set by the iPhone itself.
Both have noise canceling mics for use with the iPhone.
Either pair are great, but for half the price and better sound, I'd recommend the SmartBuds.
I use the little white ones. They fit perfectly in my ears, I've never had any problems with them. Are they due for a re-design? Probably. My only real complaint is they don't handle bass really well, and blow-out easy.
At home I use Bose Around-ear Noise cancellers.
I use the JVC Marshmallow, they are in-ear headphones, simple, (I have the remote and mic one) fits perfectly, $25-$30 at Walmart and yeah they have em in like 8 colors pretty nice!
Same, here. For the price the sound is pretty good and they do a great job of blocking out external sounds when flying.
I used to use blackberry headphones because they have a microphone built in, but they kept breaking on me (actually, every kind of headphones tends to break on me).
Now, I'm using SkullCandy Icon 2 headphones. They go on your ears instead of in (much more comfortable), and they have this button that answers/hangs up calls, and also rewinds/forwards songs when your playing, in addition to starting your music and having a built-in microphone.
I use the klipsch image s4's and they're great, great sound and noise cancellation so when I wear them I cannot hear anything over my music
I use the Bose in ear headphones. They are fantastic. I also like the Motorola SD9 Bluetooth ones (the sound is excellent and they're perfect for working out because they have no wires). I tried variations ofthe Beats headphones but they kept shorting out on me and the sound, while good, was not as good as the Bose ones.
Shure SE115 earbuds. They sound great and seem to be nearl indestructible.
Studio beats by dre
Im using Jabra Halo
I use the Bowers&Wilkins P5. Simply amaizing! 300€ though...
Shure se102
oem apple in ear headphones are great but pricey.
Skullcandy 50/50. Great sound, comfy buds, responsive remote w/volume control
Rocketfish stereo Bluetooth behind the neck headphones for me!
I'm currently using the V-Moda Vibrato Remote's. I really like how these sound and most importantly fit my ears. I own Klipsch, Shure and Bose. Anything is better that the stock white ear buds.
Klipsch S4i for music
Jawbone ERA for phone calls and audiobooks
I've been only using the Apple earbuds for phone calls. At home, I use a Sennheiser HD 650 which I love for the iphone (even though the iphone is not supposed to have enough power, I still love it!), the imac and home stereo. For airline traveling and other noisy environments, a Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. Also did a phone call with the 280 on a high speed ferry where it blocked out the outside noise and held the phone to my mouth to where I didn't have to yell and bother other passengers. It worked great.
I had the apple in-ear and they were horrible. I went through 3 pairs and each pair would constantly shock me. I am now using klipsch and they are pretty cool.
vibes from V-moda
I actually switch between 2 different sets. I have a pair of Motorola S305 Bluetooth headphones I use mainly while I am in the office. They allow my to move about my desk unimpeded by wires, and also allow me to keep my iPhone in my pocket. I also use a pair of the Apple earbuds that came with iPhone. They are not too bulky, and they sound quite nice.
I have been using the Sennheiser MM 50 earbuds (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/stereo-headset-apple-iphone-ipod-music-502555) for a few years. Sound quality is wonderful and nobody ever complains about the quality of the mic during phone calls. They are very light weight and after a lot of usage there is a tiny bit of cord showing through at the plug end. So, yup, that's what i use and really like!
I use the Motorola S9-HD bluetooth stereo headset mostly, do agree the Apple provided earbuds are very uncomfortable. I enjoy the freedom the bluetooth headset provides, not being hampered by a cord and able to place my i-Phone in a jacket pocket and such. I do wish Apple would make a bluetooth headphone set that has better integration and control.
i use the motorola s9-HD they are great bluetooth and you can answer call control volume and advance the tracks they are great and comfortable.
I use a Jabra Halo Bluetooth stereo headset. I never even unwrapped the horrible Apple earbuds.
I use a set of Ultimate Ears (200vi), but am not 100% happy with them....some day I'll find the perfect fitting and sounding in-ears that'll cost less than 50 bucks :)
I find it sad to see how many low quality bass boosted earphones are recommended. For me, there are only two options:
Panasonic HJE900, and if you want a mic, the Audéo PFE 12x.
I'll either use Skullcandy ear buds or a JayBird stereo bluetooth headset. It is rare that I use headphones of any kind with my iPhone as I rarely use it to play music. I'm usually somewhere where I can let it play sound through the speaker when it comes to playing games.
Motorola Bluetooth SD9 for activities and high end Shure earbuds (forgot the model #). Bluetooth is not as good a sound but it is adequate when I don't want to deal with the annoying wire.
Beats HD
Still on the stock bud I got with my iPhone. Have used various in ear models with my iPods, like the Bose in ear the best, but, sadly, the connector is horrible and split enough they became unusable. I, for a time, cut them and went to Radio Shack and got a new connector, which solved the problem, but there was now a 2 inch gold connector hanging out, and aside from being horrible to use any apps with, was too heavy for the iPod jack.
Bose mie2i. Granted they are no the best sounding earphones but they are better than apple earbuds. For me it's the fit. With the Stayhear tips I can wear them for hours.
Ditto. I like the Bose because they fit great, they sound great and the noise canceling works great in my noisey bug rig. I don't listen to music but need a good system for hands free phone calls.
Can't believe that no one has posted up Urbanears yet. I have a the Black Plattan by Urbanear. The best cheap solution with the best simplistic/minimalistic design and sound for the price. Definitely recommended.
I've seen those Urbanears; those are nice!
Lovin' my Koss KE29V custom fits.
I'm using ZAGG SmartBuds coz they are probably the cheapest in-ear earphones with inline play controls & mic.
The earphones part is just ok but the mic is downright horrigible.
I have just one reason to continue using the Apple Earbuds, size. I hate those huge headphones that need a bag to carry around.
A pair of ~$20 JVC in-ear buds that I picked up at Best Buy. They fit the bill because they have an over-the-ear sport clip so that they do not pop out when I'm running. Audio quality = 6.5/10
For the wonder & awe Apple has created, its bundled iPod/iPhone earphones is a sordid failure.
Steve Jobs is almost certain not using those earphones & didn't vet it. If not, how would such a terrible pair of earphones be created??
Earphones are very personal. Maybe they assumed that many people would swap them out anyway, and so they sought to spend as little money as possible on the included earphones.
The irony is that lots of people just use the included earphones anyway. Which is okay, and a win for Apple: if they're not that discerning about the audio quality, it's no real loss--in fact, Apple saved money on those people by providing low-quality earphones.
I used the Apple ."included" earbuds for years. While would not call them grate, I would not call them horrible either. I only use earbuds to make phone calls so for short periods, they worked fine.
At home, listening to music:
Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones
(ironically, these headphones weigh more than the iPhone itself)
At the office, listening to music or speech:
Etymotic ER6i earphones
Making phone calls
Apple iPhone earbuds with in-line remote
I've been using vModa vibeII NERO headphones for over a year now and I could never go back to the target/walmart cheapies . They sound so good I'm afraid to try anything less, unfortunately they cost about
$130 , but they do have a one year warranty :-)
I give em 10/10 for sound quality.
Apple In-ear.
I use the Rocketfish stereo blutooth headphones. Best Buy has them. Big sound, yet I'm still able to be aware of my surroundings. They're great for working out too!
Etymotic mc5, now and forever. I have had other versions of their stuff and the never disappoint.
I use beats by dre in ear tour with control talk
I use 2 pair of headphones, interchangeably: the Apple In-ear (with the mic, clicker & volume control), and the latest pair of Scosche black in-ear with the clicker, mic and volume control.
Typically I use the Apple in-ear for podcasts/talk and certain kinds of music; when I want a little low-end bass boost, I use the Scosche. It also depends on which pair is more easily accessible also. Typically the Scosche are in my pocket, the Apple in my bag.
They're both great. The Scosche pair (available online at the Apple Store) are a solid deal for $40, I got em as a gift & would easily pay for them myself if I needed to.
Beats Solo HD by Dr. Dre. They work way better than the iPod ones that break after a month of use.
I don't like ear buds in general and I wish that I could go back in time and slaughter the moron who invented them, if the outside of your ear canals are oddly shaped (like mine) you can't wear them comfortably and they fall out way to easily. The Apple ear buds however are surprising comfortable and fit nicely, they don't fall out to easy, but the cord it a little too short for my liking.
Skullcandy ink'd - great sound (amazing bass!) and incredibly cheap! I have several pairs for my iPhone and iPad.
iBeats by Dre.
Best sound I ever heard.
Beats by Dre Tour. Best earphones ever!
I lost the ones they came with. I was mainly using Bluetooth ones by insignia, they lasted over two years. The right speaker just gave out a couple weeks ago.
I use the Bose quiet comfort for long trips and the Bose ears buds for short periods. Both are excellent.
Same here. Love my Bose.
I use Fischer Audio FA-003 Master Series headphones. Nothing comes close IMO at price point with all music. Great with iPad too.
I recently bought Beats and LOVE THEM! they're pretty comfortable, the sound can't even be compared to those awful apple earbuds and they look great. The only downfall I the portability, so I still have my earbuds when I need to conserve space.
I was using DiddyBeats but the ControlTalk broke AGAIN! Waiting for my RMA. Right now I'm using Shure SE210.
I have every model of the DRE BEATS, but my everyday pair are the POWER BEATS. And when im working out I us the Motorola S10, the sound is nothng like the BEATS, however much beter than the APPLE earbuds.
I use Klipsch s4i in ear headphones in white. I have added the comply foam tips and the result is good clear sound for listening to podcasts and great bass for music. But not boomy.
I use my BOSE earbuds - love 'em!
Use Bose around the ear headphones when chillin and for Bluetooth I'm still rockin the older Blueant model V1.
Power Beats by Dre are perfect for the gym.
Beat by Dre ear buds, love them, and they have a mic
I prefer the standard Apple earbuds as they are free and work well enough. Because they're free I have never needed to buy others.
I've been using Sony V150s since my first anti-skip discman. They are a smaller over-ear headphone with great sound and CHEAP price, $40 or so. I've broken 1 or 2 sets but have always gone back for more.
I have an extra bar across my ear... kind of hard to explain. Regular ear-buds simply wont go in, and molded gelly types won't stay in.
What's most frustrating is I can't find a decent pair of over-ear headphones that have the 3-button remote and mic for my iphone, unless I wanna give Dr.Dre $300...
Even though it may be weird, I use the earphones that came with my Blackberry Bold 9000 phone. I love them, they are so freaking comfortable and the low frequencies are magnificent.
I use M-Audio IE-40s (equivalent to Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi Pro 10) when I really want to hear my music at audiophile fidelity. Otherwise, for casual listening I use either my Grado SR-60's or my Sennheiser HD-238's. Surprised at how popular the Dr. Dre Beats are among the responders.
exactly...i have the hd380s... snagged it new for under 200. and they destroy dre's both in quality and sound...
I use Bose headphones with the mic. They are awesome, both for listening to music and talking on the phone.
Like the original iPhones cause they actually fit ... though Apple has replaced three or four pair due to buzzing &/or the switch not working. Have a pair of Beats in ear which are nice sounding & have the non- tangling flat wire BUT the ear plugs keep getting lost at the most inappropriate times. Had several pair of scosche but they fall apart. Currently using JawBone ERA ... no stero but nice sound & seemingly well made...
I use the Marshall "Minor" ear buds.. They have an odd way of hooking into the ear but have amazing sound quality and specific quality of detail in the audio I haven't heard in many ear buds OR lots of complete headsets...
Try 'em if you can...
BEATS! Most legit headphones I have ever owned!
Beats are soooooo over priced! I baught the studios and returned them after a week. The sound was so unnatural, the highs were over produced and hurtful, the bass muddy and boomy and the mids nonexistent.
Note I say this in the grain of 300$ in mind, they sound wonderful compared to 90% of headphones out there, but you can find headphones that preform 1000 times better for 200$ (probably not as dead sexy though.) my personal reccomendation would be the dt-770 80 ohm pros, there sold at guitar center and sound phenomenal. Bass is just as loud but much more controlled. Never buying beats again!
Apple buds at the office (they're crappy so I can still hear what's around me); Skullcandy Ink'd when just lounging (not bad once burnt in); & Skullcandy Aviators in brown for immersion listening (not bass heavy like the Beats but a nice well rounded sound).
I use skullcandy titans and skullcandy full metal jacket
Apple in ear - good sound, full control and reasonable price.
Bose on-ear headphones FTW! I tried a pair of AKG Q460s the other day and they sound almost as good.
Skullcandy fmj's or my a-jays four
Bose QC-15s for the most part. Motorola bluetooth S805s are built into my ski helmet and work surprisingly well, both for music and phone calls, while on the mountain. I keep the Apple earbuds in my bag as a backup, but barely use them.
I hate ear bud headphones barely like it for my bluetooth headset while driving. My in car speakerphone which I sometimes use as a FM transmitter when I don't want to use the tape deck is a Motorola T-505. Otherwise I listen to music for short distances when not having my headphones would be the BlueAnt Q2.
Now if I am just listening to music then for wired headphones I use Sony MDR-G45LP which are comfortable and cheap I break phones easily and would use the MDR-G75LW which are foldable and retractable cable but I have broken several of those. I normally don't listen to wired headphones anymore and would even look at $300 BEATS but I would break the coord sooner than later.
That is why I normally when listening to music and prefer bluetooth because I can control the phone and music and changing tracks and everything else without looking at the iPhone good for running are Sony DR-BT21G.
BOSE over ear at home and SHURE SE-215 everywhere else. Still keep my old SHURE buds in my car as a backup.
Klipsch Image S4 during the day.
Philips SHE9500 when i'm sleeping.
Skull Candy Lowriders Limited Edition Blue
I use Klipsch S4i.. love um!
The Sennheiser MM 400 is a state-of-the-art Stereo Bluetooth® headset for multimedia mobile phones.
With one press of a button, you can quickly switch between calls and music delivered in superb stereo sound. The invisible high-performance microphone ensures that conversations are clear, making this headset the perfect all-in-one sound solution. I love't.
Audio Technica M50s! Fairly serious listening gear :)
Zagg smart buds for iPhone love em
I use ibeats by dr dre they sound Awesome highs, mids and lows are well balanced. My first beats purchase way better then the crappy ones that come with your iPhone
I use BOSE IE2 headphones, BOSE AE2 OTE headphones and BOSE Sounddock Series II speakers. Love the Bose sound.
I use the motorola s9 HD stereo bluetooth headsets, they have snug fit, sound great and are light weight. Not to mention that I dont have to worry about any wires.
I use Shure SE530 = AMAZING, there are 3 small speakers in each earphone, so a total of 6. One is for the high, another for mid and the last for low.
I use iFrogz, idk what specific kind but they are the cheapest best set i've ever had plus it has a mic!
blue ant q2. works great and plays everything through the speaker unlike most other bluetooth earbuds.
I use Zaggbuds and ones by Marshall and like them the best. I also have Bose and B&O but still prefer the others. The iPhone buds are not the best for comfort, etc.
I want something that works well when working out - running, etc.
Do you have to trade sound for function? I'd also rather not spend a hundred on a set when the white iPhone ones nearly do the trick already.
Bose buds used here
rocking the Bose in ear, and Dr. Dre for those long flights =D
I use V-MODA Vibrato Noise-Isolating Metal Headphones.
Really like them!
The Plantronics Backbeat 903+ !!
I use Bose. My left ear bud went out within the first 2 weeks of usage luckily I bought the insurance
I use my old Blackberry ones. Is that legal? ;-) For freebies, they're much more comfortable than the Apple ones. Been thinking, though, about biting the bullet with Bose buds.
I use the motorokr stereo Bluetooth headset because I hate cords
Beats by Dre Tour edition
Skullcandy Titan's
I hafe the 80$ apple in-ear headphones, and might I say there pheonimal! Suprisingly flat sound, amazing mids, clear highs, and tight bass. Very comfortable, can get a little "pressure" feeling after long periods of wearing, but all in ears do. Make sure to use the right size tips! The highs can get a little cracley when turned up very loud, and the bass is very controlled but a little quieter than I would like. But for 80$ there a steal! Worth every penny!
The Apple in ear ones are awesome as long as you get the Comply Foam tips for them
I've got a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple Fi.Pro Vi's. They cost a pretty penny, but are definitely worth it. Consistently called the best pair of in ears out there.
I have white Beat By DRE Tours to match my white iPhone 4 and white iPad 2. All white everything
I use Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi. Best bang for your buck
Dr Dre Powerbeats. had them a while and absolutely love em
I posted on the last thread but I will post here. I have the Apple In-Ear headphones. Best set I have ever used, and it also has the remote that works the same as the Apple ear buds.
Every pair of earphones I've ever owned - cheap or expensive - have been broken within a year, so I've settled on buying Seinheiser CX 300 IIs. They're robust, cheap enough to be comfortably replaced when they eventually do break and I've always been happy with the sound I get from them.
I've certainly had better sounding earphones - Shures, Scosches - but those didn't last as long and were a lot more expensive to replace. Getting warranty replacements for eaither of those brands here in the UK was a pain in the arse.
If I do use earphones, I have Etymotic ER-6i
I use Monster Turbine Pro Coppers. The best (and most expensive) in-ears I've owned so far.
The first high end pair of headphones I bought were the Shure E1 (I can't remember exactly). Then I bought the Apple in ear headphones (I still have them, and they still work pretty well. Minus the clicker). Now I have the iBeats by Dr. Dre. I love my iBeats a lot. There the best headphones I've ever owned. I really love the control talk feature also.
I use my Sennheisers. Apple's earbuds are HORRIBLE for your ears. And horrible quality. Only thing I like is the iPod controls/headset.
I've been using the $99 Bose in-ear headphones. Very comfortable and great sound. Noise canceling would be nice, but oh well...
Sennheiser cx380
Previously had the shure E5cs until they busted and had to get them replaced, decided to sell them for a premium afterwards because after using the E2cs and not noticing a $300 difference.
I now use the E2cs mixed in with some semi-genuine (and actually decent quality) IEMS from Focalprice/Dealextreme. They are 1000 times better than the crap earphones like the apple ones, and standard crap ones like it.
Anyway, the decent knock off or non-brand IEMS are good enough for my ear, and at the end of the day, thats all that matters.
And for my $8 "Smony" headphones that sounded great and lasted about 7 months, I can make do.
I use a pair of JVC noise cancelling iPhone in ears. They have the remote. They were £60 18 months ago and are still kicking out good quality sound. Which is more than can be said for the sennhesier 300's I had previously which radomly started distorting after 6 months. I'd used sennhiesers for years with no no problems but that pair just hated me!
I have the Zagg SmartBuds. Bought the Apple in-ear buds and they broke within 2 weeks. Wanted to like them but they were completely terrible.
The Zagg SmartBuds are amazing! Great noise canceling and great quality. The best part is the cord is covered with InvisibleSHIELD. A durable plastic cover that is used on military helicopter blades.
I've had these earphones for almost 6 months & they still work great!
I love the Klipsch Image S2 Comfort-Fit earphones (about $30 on Amazon). They're light, inexpensive, and seal well enough to drown out noise at the gym.
Plantronics Backbeat 903
Sony MDR-ED12LP
Ear pieces don't fit me well, so I tried MANY to come up with these. My ears are large, flat against my head, and my ear canals point upward and towards my face. The marshmallow type doesn't seal and falls right out.
I love my V-Moda Crossfade, slick look, sick sound and really comfortable for my long subway ride... For in ear, I use skullcandy ink'd, cheap and gets the job done
Nu-Force NE7M's the best ieb under $50 will rival ieb's that cost 3 to 4 times more.
I use the Tours by Dre with in line mic. Best headphones I have ever owned.
iBeats by Dr Dre! The best headset ever made, period.
Beats by dre studio. Love them for walking around the city and riding the bus. I also use a few different skull candy ear buds when riding my bike or snowboarding.
Beats by Dre iBeats (Gunmetal) and a pair of white Skullcandy Aviators. Both have amazing sound for a reasonable price.
Marshall Minor's Great!!!
Great sound, Cool design, secure in motion!
Now it will take a min to recieve them, but well worth the wait.
Just a simple pair of sennheiser cx300 ii - they work perfectly well for a reasonable price.
Don't know why Apple toss us off every time with their tacky earphones... one look and they scream EAR-ACHE!!
Beats by Dre Tour Mobile
I use the new Bose iPhone headset and I love em. You forget that there even in your ears... A must buy. Yeah $130 is steep, but well worth it.
I got same man and It is awesome....It is expensive but worth it..
I use the normal ones and Skullcandys noise canceling
I love my wireless stereo bluetooth MOTOROKR S305
The sound is great, they are wireless, and they are super affordable!!!
Lady gaga heartbeats. I dont have any other headphones to compare but the sound is pretty good & they're cute.
Currently using the Scosche IDR305MD after having gone through many others. I'm very happy with them: great sound quality, fit, and clearest mic for making calls (according to people I talk to regularly). Can't be beat for $40 at the Apple store.
Etymotic HF2s. Great sound quality and noise canceling. Would I spend $200+ on headphones? No. But the Etymotic rep Mike gave them to me at a computer show so the price was right.
I love my Klipsch S4i ear buds. the apple ones hurt my ears something fierce. Whenever these bust i will get the S5i rugged ones since the controller and the buds are moisture resistant. they are comfortable and very good at noise canceling, almost too good, i can't hear a flipping thing when they are in, even with no music playing.
Definitely not Apple's. I have Klipsch's S5i rugged headset. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/image-s5i-rugged-overview/ I did had the S4i before these, cause I thought I had lost this great pair. Great highs, mids, solid bass, and it's very durable. Great for workouts. The buttons are ugly huge, but you can definitely feel which button you're pressing them under a shirt or sweater. I've tried several headsets before: Shure 310 which had great sound, great clarity, ok mids, pretty much non-existent bass. V-Modas had great initial quality, great sound, clear, great bass, but they broke easily. Skull Candy FMJs had awesome bass, great durability, lousy mids and highs. The Klipschs which I finally ended up with had the same quality sound I loved from the V-Modas but were way more durable and really light in weight.
i burned all my headphones and earphones and the next day i walked to apple and bought Dr.Dre Studios. and now am set for life and never going back to earphones
Bose QC15. Awesome!!!
My choice is the Klipsch S4i they fitted perfectly in my ears with the stock oval tips, and the would stay there no matter what. The sound reached a very loud levels and with amazing bass, and while the mids were good and solid, the high can sound a bit mushy at times, but still sound clear and solid as well as the construction. While it seams light, is well built and durable. Before this I had:
Etymotic mc3 and while they sound perfect for audiophiles, they lack in bass in my opinion.
Apple in-ear headphones while that sounded good, the sound was not great and the earphone would not stay in place, and I just don't think they are worth $80.
Beats Tours by DR. Dre were great, nice sound, really amazing bass and durable well constructed headphones. But I returned the because of the price tag at $180. Is kind of a deal breaker, because the set sound a bit better then the Klipsch but I saved $80 and got a set that is as good but less flashy.
Love my V-Modas. Thumpy bass, comfortable & good noise sealing.
I have a pair of Bose and a pair of Woodys. The woodys offer better bass response and are half the price of the Bose. The base response in the woodys are so defined because there actually made of part wood.
The woodys also cut almost all of the airplane noise when traveling.
Bose in-ear. Great sound and business quality phone calls.
Senheiser cx500, or my old in-ear JVC. Anything but the stock earphones. To be fair, I must say that I never bought a device that came with good earphones, including Creative, Samsung, LG, Cowon, Motorola, Sony etc., the closest was Nokia, but even theirs was substandard. Stock always sucks, and Apple is no exception.
I could never get the Apple ear buds to stay in my ears. I had a pair of Sony over the ears that sounded good but I could not wear them for long. I had a pair of Bluetooth BackBeats but was not pleased with the sound quality. My latest purchase was the Bose MIE2. I can wear these for a long time without any issue. Love the sound quality.
I use the regular Apple earphones. Lol. I'm cheap. :x
Klipsch Image S4i. They're the best quality earbuds with a mic./remote for around $100 (I got mine for around $70).
WESC oboe's. Had to give WESC a shot on headphones after being very impressed with the acoustics in their store in NYC a few years ago. Got them on sale, and love the 40mm drivers, especially while snowboarding.
Dre beats
I got a set of stereo Bluetooth earphones, Blueant X5, they are very nice portable set of earphones, with at least a month of battery life using it for a couple of hrs a day. They cost about $150-$200rrp 6/8 yrs ago have decent sound except the range is decent except high and low end bass and treble is fine but in some songs get a bit muffled, they do cover most of the ear and do muffle some outside noise but do leak noise out as well when listening to them in a quiet environment. I also have a pair of Sennheisers HD202's at home and get a much deeper and clear range of sounds, cost $70-rrp$100 are wired and do cup the entire ear and does cut out most outside noise as well. Have had a pair of apple and Sennheisers in ears, compared to normal earphones really are uncomfortable for prolonged periods and come out of the ears a lot, so love the pair the other pair of headphones I have now.
Koss porta pro, super good base for such light headphones and the folding ability is prizeless :)
I like to use eith my Beats by Dre Solo HD's or PRO's at home but while I'm on the go or gym PowerBeats by Dre. They dont fall off your ears, bass is good, they let some ambient noise in so you are aware when people may run you over while jogging and you can answer calls with them.
Step up your game and get some Sennheisers.
Shure e2c. Best earphones I've ever owned.
Bose mie2i's. they are absolutely amazing.
I use Philips SHN2500 noise cancelling
Fantastic on the train commute.
I use the Diddy Beats. All around great sounding and decent noise cancelling. I didn't mind the Apple stock earphones unless I move around a lot then they fall out. They sound good for about a month then quickly degrade.
I have been using the M2's by Brainwavz. Best headphones I've ever owned. I got them at MP4nation for around 49.99. My previous headphones have been panasonic, Sony, or Skullkandys that I could find at Best Buy. I am a drummer and percussionist, and also work a lot with computers audio mixing etc. The sound quality is phenomenal and the bass is clear, boomy, but not overbearing...but you can make you head shake if you turn on the bass booster in the EQ...but the noise cancellation is also amazing. My previous noise canceling Skullcandies...which broke, would be at full volume..and I could still barely if at all hear the music over the drums, that not only is inconvenient, but also unhealthful. WIth the M2s, they work almost as well as my earplugs, without music even playing...I have never gone over 3/4 volume while drumming, which still blows my mind. I hope this helps someone. They also have a 1-2 year warranty...not sure but I don't think it will matter...they are built to last and make love to my ears.
Skull Candy earbuds... have had them since 2007 and I just may have to replace them now.
I love my V-MODA's
JH 16 Pro
Jaybird Sportsband Bluetooth Headphones (http://www.jaybirdgear.com/sb2/) - I use them with my iPhone, iPad, and PS3. Love them!
I have some in-ear headphones the brand is Klipsch. By far the best quality sound I have ever heard on headphones. You can't hear any outside noise with them in and even on full blast nobody outside can hear anything. The bass is amazing for something so small and overall amazing sound. I've had them for over a year and still in amazing shape and sound the same as they did on day one. I highly recommend them.
Beats Solo HD's, awesome bass and just the right mid range and treble for trance, and house beats :)
Away from the house, Koss KPH/6. They suit my needs for an inexpensive pair of basic headphones. At the house, AKG K141 studio headphones. Good clean sound.
I use ear jams, for practicity. I also have a Philips model.
I use the JAYS a-Jays Four, they are pretty good and affordable.
Beats By Dre Tour & Bose QC15 & Sony V700DJ
The white Beats Pro are hands down the best pair of over ears that I've had the pleasure of using. I bring them everywhere! I don't waste time with ear buds anymore. Over ear offers a much better listening experience IMO. I'm no audiophile, though I'm pretty serious about my music consumption. The Klipsch S4i are the best in ear pair that I've ever used. Also, working at Best Buy is awesome and on discount these headphones aren't so expensive :) Winning!
Shure e3c (broke)
Shure SE210 AND
Bose QC15
Denon C-710
.....use the DENON AH-C260R and they rock...the apple earbuds are awful silent sometimes... and the DENON have a good comfort in wearing them,....
95% of the time I'm using my Bluetooth Plantronics P590 phones. Once you've got rid of the wire, it's so difficult to go back. The only time I use anything different is when working out. Then it's some simple & cheap JVC "exercise" (read "sweat resistant") headphones.
Comment Overload! Someone do some analysis and post the most common answers for us. Thanks!

Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.
This video clearly demonstrates how racist America is as a country and how far we have to go to become a country that is civilized and actually values equal justice. We must not rest until this goal is achieved. I do not want my great grandchildren to live in a country like we have today. I wish for them to live in a country where differences of race and culture are not ignored but valued as a part of what makes America great.

One of our first challenges in the MLB Fan Cave was to give our personal predictions for the 2012 MLB season. Obviously, I'd like to say the Twins will do well but I am also not naive enough to believe we've figured out the majority of our issues that became apparent last year. There is a lot to figure out with this club and while the Twins will do better than they did last season, I'm hesitant to call them frontrunners in the AL Central especially with such powerhouse competition from team's like
So most of you by now know I'm headed to New York City to inhabit the MLB Fan Cave this season and to be honest, I couldn't have done it without all of you. Twins Territory definitely stepped up when it came time to get a Twins fan into the Cave and I am so thankful for all of your support! I promise to make you all proud in New York City (and to boo the Yankees any chance I get)!
It's been a wild ride and since most people have been curious about my experience, I figured I take a second

Building Motivational Interviewing Skills
A Practitioner Workbook
A Practitioner Workbook
David B. Rosengren
View a selection of reproducible forms from this book in PDF format.
Developing expertise in motivational interviewing (MI) takes practice, which is exactly the point of this engaging, user-friendly workbook. The volume is packed with real-world examples from a range of clinical settings, as well as sample interactions and hands-on learning activities. The author is an experienced MI researcher, clinician, and trainer who facilitates learning with quizzes, experiential exercises, and reproducible worksheets. The reader learns step by step how to practice core MI skills: raising the importance of behavior change, fostering the client's confidence, resolving ambivalence, solidifying commitment to change, and negotiating a change plan. The utility of the book is enhanced by the large-size format and lay-flat binding. The book shows how to navigate each session using microskills that many clinicians already know: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and summaries, or OARS for short.
This title is part of the Applications of Motivational Interviewing Series, edited by Stephen Rollnick and William R. Miller.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "White currants, honeyed citrus, and melons are present in this medium-bodied, richly fruity, slightly smoky white Graves. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A terrific mid-range Bordeaux.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..
