Beats by Dr. Dre Studio most of the time. When exercising/at the gym, I use the Apple In-Ear Headphones. They are fairly comfortable, but they don't stay in my ears too well, especially when running. I was thinking of replacing them with the PowerBeats headphones, which clip over the ears. Anyone have any experience with the PowerBeats?
Got a tip for us?

At the moment I use Scullcandy's lowrider phones. Very nice sound, comfortable to wear.. The bass could have been better, but it works.
Another piece of headphones I like are the Koss PortaPro. Bestseller in this country. Very comfortable to wear, the nicest, clearest and most quality sound I've ever experienced in a piece of headphones. The bass is fantastic and they look great.

same, my studios..but when im working out or something i use my skullcandy full metal jackets..
I rarely use my iPhone to listen to music with unless I'm plugging it into a car or the Bose system. When I do I use the stock apple buds it came with. Works just fine to me.
Got the PowerBeats for christmas....I love em so far, they sound great (not as great as the studios obviously). They do not move at all when im active which I like.
I hated them. I got them the day they came out and for 30 day after. In those 30 days I could not for the life of me get it to fit right. I only used the headphones in the gym. If you don't find that perfect fit it will not stay in place. Another thing I hated is that it was not comfortable in my ear. When I was finished with my workout I could not wait to take them out of my ears. The sound was great, bass and all that but the fit was horrible. I just needed music in my ear. So I brought the Bose MIE2i and they've been great. easy on and off and good sound not as much bass as the monster but I only use the headphones for the gym.
got some sennheisers cx-310 adidas colors but also come in blk.. had bose in ear before and was really impressed. also very good but very bassy.. the senns however are pure and crisp with no bass overload and prob the best sounding earphones ive ever had. i would highly recommend them also if your prefer a pair of subwoofers in your ear get the bose
Sony MDREX38iP/BLK EX Earbud with iPod Remote Control

I got these for $22 when they were on sale. Music sound quality is surprisingly good when compared to other ~$100 headsets I also own. iPod volume/skip-track controls work well. Voice calls/mic is pretty clear. The reviews are favorable and these are worlds better than stock.

I'm using the Beats By Dre iBeats w/ ControlTalk. Aside from a little bit of exaggerated bass they're great.
Depends on my traveling mode. I love using my Jaybird SB1s when I have my bag with me, because it's a headband, very comfy, and wireless. It also has good bass and doesn't bother my ears after a while like earbuds/plugs will. They're also (supposedly) sweat-proof so are good when working out. However since it's a headband, it's less portable than earbuds.
When I need maximum portability, I use the white earbuds that came with the phone.
When I'm flying, I use the Apple in-ear plug style headphones. They're not very comfortable if you have to move around a lot, because they tend to mic pretty much any movement sound you make into your ears, but on a plane they isolate you from the roar of the aircraft cabin and let you really enjoy your media in bliss.
How's that, three answers from one person!

Same here. I just took my powerbeats I received for christmas back to Best Buy today. The powerbeats were very uncomfortable to my ears. I tried all 3 earbud sizes that came with the headphones, and all were uncomfortable. After about 30 minutes, my ears would begin to ache. They sounded great once I chose the right earbud size and got the buds postitioned properly in my ear canal, but I need something comfortable that I can wear for hours at a time. After spending the last few days researching, I swapped them out for the Bose MIE2is. They are currently still in the packaging, but I have a feeling these will be exactly what I need. I will confirm once I've tried them.
Okay, after listening to these for most of the day, I can honestly say that these are by far the best earbuds I've ever used, and probably top 5 on my all time favorite headphones. They are unbelievably comfortable. I forget that they're in my ear. Perfect bass, mids, and highs whose sound quality rivals my Beats by Dre Studios. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a portable pair of headphones with excellent sound, and most of all, comfort. This is coming from a person who customarily hates earbuds due to the fact that they either, a) constantly falls out of my ear during any movement, or b) I have to jam them in my ear canal which leads bad discomfort.
I have the step down UM2's. The Westones are the least talked about (at least on this forum) and one of the top independent rated earphones available. They are simply outstanding. I use them on the go and use AKG 271's (no amp needed) for the other times.
I'm using the Apple In-Ear headphones which I got for free, they are very good in my opinion.
Before them I was using the Sennheiser CX300. They are also quite nice (especially for budget phones) but they don't have any remote or microphone which I have grown quite attached to with the Apple In-Ears.

Same here, I use stock Apple earphones for the mic, but different ones for listening to music.
Skull Candy - specifically the 50/50. Got a good deal on them too
Or I would, if they would show up - go figure, picked up an iPhone 4 finally, and they go missing that day.
Hope they didn't fall out of the car - at least I can stand the apple ones. The purchase of the iPhone 4 and the otterbox case kinda drained my discretionary fund
