Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Warm natural sound with a cool futuristic lookThe Bowers & Wilkins C5 headphones have it all — rich, dynamic sound, a secure, comfortable fit, plus up-to-the-minute convenience and style. These well-sorted in-ears deliver amazingly powerful bass with warm, natural mids and highs that make them perfect for listening to just about any genre of music. A unique, adjustable cable loop keeps them gently but firmly in place as you move. They also provide convenient control of your favorite Apple® device, including hands-free conversations using your iPhone®. And along with their siblings, the B&W P5 on-ears, we think these buds are among the coolest, best-looking headphones out there today.The C5's infinitely adjustable Secure Loop design helps keep them firmly and comfortably in place. (Black model shown)In-ears that really stay inMost in-ear headphones stay in place reasonably well, as long as you're sitting still. But once you're on the move it can be a different story. The C5s feature an innovative Secure Loop design that gently hugs the inner rim of each ear, holding the headphones firmly in place no matter how bumpy the ride. The loops can be easily adjusted for a comfortable, custom fit. These buds also utilize a solid Tungsten sound tube that balances them towards your ears, further improving the security of fit while increasing isolation from outside noise. And because the noise reduction is passive, no batteries or active electronics are ever needed. Advanced design for better soundB&W knows great sound — their professional monitor speakers are found in some of the world's finest recording studios, Their goal for the C5 was to create the same natural and realistic sound in a headphone that their speakers are famous for. One key feature that helps achieve that goal is the Micro Porous Filter. This filter uses hundreds of microscopic steel balls clustered at the end of the headphones that act as a sonic diffuser, enabling the C5 to deliver pristine, natural sound while also providing the kind of spacious performance that you'd only expect from open-air headphones.The Micro Porous Filter acts as a diffuser to create a more natural, open sound. (Titanium model shown)Built-in controls for iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad® A remote built into the headphone cable lets you conveniently control music playback without having to dig your iPod or iPhone out of your pocket. You can even take calls on your iPhone hands-free, thanks to the in-line microphone. The C5's supple, plastic-coated headphone cord resists tangles like a champ. And the zippered, pocket-sized storage case makes a nice home for your C5s when they're not in use.From the review Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones Earbuds of the future "Sound was robust and clear; with palpable bass and smooth, detailed midrange. High frequencies were just ever so slightly rolled off at the very top. I also greatly enjoyed the way the C5s spread the instruments across a wide and moderately deep soundstage, rather than concentrating them right in the middle of my head. This is a pretty neat trick that you normally only expect to hear with open-air, around-the-ear headphones." — Dave B., Crutchfield A/V Writer Product Highlights:in-ear design provides natural sound isolationin-line remote to control playback and adjust volume on iPod, iPad, and iPhonebuilt-in microphone on remote for receiving calls on an iPhoneadjustable ear loop design holds headphones securely in placeMicro Porous Filter system for added spaciousnesssolid tungsten sound tube provides better weight balance and improved wearing comfortlarge 9mm Mylar® diaphragms and powerful neodymium magnets deliver rich, detailed soundfrequency response: 10-20,000 Hzimpedance: 32 ohmssensitivity: 118 dB at 1kHz54" cable with stereo mini plugincludes assortment of silicone ear tipsquilted fabric storage case with zippered closure for headphonesweight: 0.71 ounceswarranty: 2 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee Bowers & Wilkins C5 Reviews Average Customer Review: 26 reviews Review this product Submit a review and then enter to win a $350 rewards card Filter by rating: 5 Star: (0) 4 Star: (0) 3 Star: (0) 2 Star: (0) 1 Star: (0) Review this product: Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences about this product.

Bowers & Wilkins C5 Written By 4 pairs in 18 months - Junk, Washington on Tuesday, September 30, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These headphones are complete junk and B&W doesn't seem to care. Stay away from these and find some more reliable headphones. I have had these replaced four times in 18 months. Since the 2 year warranty is about up, I'm done with these. To answer people's question if the warranty is extended when a pair is replaced, Nope! Tried to discuss the obvious defect in these headphones with B&W USA and got absolutely nowhere. Good money spent for complete junk and a company that doesn't care about making the product better. Do not buy. Pros: Sounds pretty good for a while Cons: Durability is a joke. Was this review helpful? Yes No Best ear phones under $200.00 Written By RG, Washington DC on Monday, July 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I believe the Bowers & Wilkins C5 are the best ear phones for under $200.00 available today. Sound quality is superb. They have a wide dynamic range and provide a full sound experience with all music types. I have tried many ear phones and the Bowers & Wilkins C5 are the best single driver ear phones I have heard. Another great aspect of these ear phones is the strength of the cable. Its not just a flimsy cord, it comes with a strong reinforced cable that can withstand daily use. Pros: Great sound quality. very comfortable to wear Was this review helpful? Yes No do not buy!! Written By ZF, brooklyn, ny on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I felt compelled to review these headphones as I have owned them for ~9 months. Unfortunately I am on my third pair and will probably be on my fourth pair shortly. To start with the good- these are the best sounding headphones I have ever listened to- they are bright but also capture bass in an incredible way (my test is listening to the XX - fantasy 1:22 there are bass levels that normal headphones cannot pick up). The headphones also have a sound quality that feels like you are listening to a live sound rather than an earbud jammed in your ear and this is really good. I have owned klipsch headphones previously and sound quality these blow those out of the water. With that said, in the span of 3 months, I have had 2 headphones with earbuds go dead, and it seems my third pair are about to do the same. It is unfortunate that such an incredible sounding piece of headphones are made of such poor build that they die every few months- my only solace is that I bought them with an amex and plan to use amex's warranty to extend the life by 2 years. But still- this price for 2 years worth of a product with constant shipping back and forth is an annoyance. Don't buy these headphones- look elsewhere. Pros: - best sounding headphones I have ever listened to Cons: - ear channels constantly die- am on my 3rd pair going on 4th pair. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A Struggle to get them to fit and stay put Written By RichP, Clifton Park, NY on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 rating "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Seem to be very solidly built. Very nice sound when I can get them in my ear correctly. I spend alot of time monkeying around with the "Loop" trying to get it secure in my ear. The buds tend to come loose easily. I am not sure that this design is right for me... but I own them now! The cord seems unruly as well, it is so stiff that it gets it the way quite abit and holds its "kinked" shape much of the time. Pros: Solid build. Nice sound when in ear correctly. Cons: Difficult to fit in ear and to stay put. Cord to stiff Was this review helpful? Yes No Mixed feelings Written By Bish, Ashland, KY on Saturday, September 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've had these for a couple of months or so and have formed an opinion. I use them with my iPhone and my Audioengine DAC through my iMac. They're beautiful and seem to be very well made. The bass was way too heavy when I first started using them, so bad that I nearly sent them back. A friend advised me to let them burn in for a few hours before making my decision. To my surprise they did get significantly better (I thought they would go the other way) so I decided to keep them even though the bass is still a little loose for my taste. It may continue to improve over time? The soundstage is well defined in spite of the bass issues. They stay in your ears very well and are comfortable enough when properly adjusted. You get various sizes of "rubber' in order to get a good seal and I suggest trying them all. The cord is stiff and somewhat difficult to manage with a tendency to retain it's shape. While the packaging was very stylish, I do not recall a more difficult product to get open and free from the packaging! Just don't get too excited! The pretty little case is very poorly designed and difficult to get the phones in and out of. It's way too small too. I use these quite often and are satisfied with them especially for some of the progressive rock I listen to. Pros: Good value, very sturdy materials, sound is detailed with good staging. Cons: Stiff cord can be unwieldy, case is useless, bass is a bit too heavy for my taste but may be perfect for yours. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No High end headphones Written By SONG, Chicago, IL on Friday, July 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Cool headphones, sounds great, ear piece weight feel very high end, head phone wires are very light, best head phones for staying in your ear. Only disappointment is the case, its too small, I feel if I put the headphones in the case, it will damage the ear piece and loop. Pros: quality, sound, look, weight Cons: case is big disappointment, its too small, but looks great. Was this review helpful? Yes No Bowers & Wilkins C5 Written By Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Best headphones I've ever had. They are durable and provide continual great sound. You will find new parts to all of your favorite music. Was this review helpful? Yes No B & W C5 Written By NRS, Tulsa, OK on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Product arrived in given time frame. Very well packed. Good value from Crutchfield. Pros: Very elegant package from Bowers & Wilkins. I am not an audiophile but find the sound remarkable from a small device. Cons: Would suggest a 90 dgree angle plug as a connecter to sound source as cable is somewhat fragile. After you learn how to position ear pieces sound quality is fantastic and alsovery good isolation of external sounds. Was this review helpful? Yes No Another awesome B&W product Written By GianoFan, Houston, TX on Monday, March 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality The sound quality of these B&Ws is really good. Amazing, really. Maybe not quite as good as the $500 top-of-the-line recording studio Shure models, but just shy of that. And for $180-$200 ($180 at Crutchfield), you can't beat them. I researched them quite a bit before buying. I didn't want the over-the-ear cans, I wanted the noise isolating earbuds. I previously bought Shure headphones almost exclusively, as I am a bit of a self-proclaimed audiophile and excellent sound quality is very important to me. But my last two sets of Shure's have died somewhat prematurely (at least in my opinion, although I admittedly use them quite a bit on flights, etc). So I decided to do some research and found what appeared to be great value in the C5's. I have B&W speakers for my home theater system (which I LOVE), but I previously was hesitant to buy their headphones because they are relatively new to the headphone business. Boy, was I ever right on with trusting B&W again! A great purchase. I have already recommended these to some friends. I still love Shure's, but to get this same sound quality with them, you need to get into their $400+ models. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No ear buds Written By PaulW, NYC on Friday, February 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Very bright highs but lacking bass. Good solid fit for active lifestyle. Was this review helpful? Yes No Just what I was looking for. Written By Geoff, Aptos, CA. on Saturday, December 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Have been using regular high quality headphones, but these limit the wearing of a hat in the sun. The B&W fit nicely, sound great and stay in place. Very pleased with them. Listen mostly to classical and jazz in lossless. They are outstanding playing CD derived music from a laptop through a "Dragonfly". Pros: Sound quality, comfort, secure feeling. Cons: Non so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No Superb sound! Excellent fit and great build quality Written By Bob, Amesbury, MA on Friday, December 21, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have had these now for a year and couldn't be happier. At first I was a bit disappointed. Prior in-ear phones I had required me to use the small cushions to get a good seal. When I started with the B&W's I went to the small cushions and was not impressed. Instead as it turns out, the larges cushions worked best, and due to the in-ear loops they stayed put and provided a great seal. The cushion change made all the difference with both sound and comfort. As expected with B&W the sound is great. They're not perfectly analytical, but the subtle colorations that exist are very musical in nature, and forgiving of poor recordings. They provide a slightly "warm" overall presentation, which never sounds bad, but may be a little smooth for some people. They don't have the sizzle of Beats that some people like, but which I find artificial. I travel to China quite a bit, which is about 20 Hrs of flying, and have been able to wear these for the entire trip without fatique. They are the most comfortable in-ear 'phones I have used, (although I have not tried any of the custom-fit products). Also, once you adjust the loops to fit snugly, they stay in your ears quite well. It may take a little fiddling with the loop adjustments at first, but once you get it right they just stay put. I find them to be very good on the treadmill at the gym. Overall a great product as one would expect from B&W. Pros: Excellent sound. Very Comfortable. Convenient case. Cons: None 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Thrilled, then quickly disappointed Written By Gabe, Houston, Tx on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got my first set back in April of 2012, they sounded great right out of the box, even better after a burn in. then a few months in the left channel started to flicker on and off. So I sent them back for a prompt replacement thinking it was just a lemon. 4 months later my second set went out for the same reason. you'd think a company with a reputation like B&W would be able to make some headphones that last more than a few months, especially at the that cost. yes these aren't the most expensive headphones on the planet by any means, but I'd expect at least 3-5 years of solid listening, and thats being very forgiving. I'm sorry the great sound and comfort are only good when they worked. luckily i'm getting my money back via a gift card to try something else out. and while crutchfield doesn't carry some of the brands i was looking for, i may find something else that i can settle with. and if any one is interested i listened to them for a solid 10-12 hours a day, doing design work sitting at a desk. so they weren't exposed to any mistreatment or abuse of any kind. to me build quality is paramount when you're spending decent money on something that should be built to last. Pros: sounds awesome, looks great, very comfortable even during extended wear. Cons: build quality is severely lacking to the point i'll likely never by another B&W product again. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good at first Written By Kvis1, Rancho Mirage on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 These earphones sound great and they are able to block out most of the noise around you, however I have noticed that after six months of using them the inside of one of the cables has turned "green" and is starting to short out. I would be lying if I said that I was happy with them. Pros: Sound good Cons: Build quality Was this review helpful? Yes No Are you kidding me? Written By Court, Denver, CO on Friday, August 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Way overpriced! Completely unimpressed. I own a pair of B&W speakers for my home stereo and thought they were great. Unfortunately, their earbuds don't meet standards. I tried all 3 pairs of the earpieces and had to "wedge" in the one set that did fit in order to get a decent sound out of these earbuds. The flimsy cable popped out of one earbud while I was adjusting it to fit in my ear. Don't waste your time or money on these, you can better earbuds for less. Pros: None Cons: Not worth the money. 1 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By Wgagliardi, Bakersfield, CA on Sunday, August 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am enjoying these units very much. They are very comfortable to wear. I am also enjoying the fact that I have a nice case to store them in. I would recommend these units, my son is already thinking about getting a pair. Thanks for a quality product! Wgagliardi Pros: Sound Quality Comfort Looks Storage Cons: If I had to put something down it would be Wiring to stiff Control button on wire difficult due to wiring MINIMUM ISSUES THOUGH Was this review helpful? Yes No Good, not great Written By Rese, Washington, DC on Saturday, July 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They're good, not great. Once they are seated in your ear the right way, the noise cancellation and sound quality are outstanding. The down side to them is that they slip out fairly easily, and any change in position changes the sound quality almost instantly. They're not the greatest for exercising, either, because any change in your head position from upright makes them shift in your ear. Running is a constant exercise of readjustment, and if you get sweaty, they slip out even easier. If you don't work out and want great sound quality with the ability to use the phone without taking out the earbuds, then these are great. If you plan on using them to be active, you may be disappointed. Pros: Great sound quality. Allows use of your phone unlike other noise-cancelling ear buds. Cons: Sound quality is very dependent on position, and getting them to stay put is too tricky and unreliable. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great earphones Written By kvilia, Miami on Thursday, May 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Another great item from B&W. Excellent quality as expected. No reason to get into sounds details, just as good as it could get for the headphones. The only better piece would be over the ear B&W headphones but this is a different price and category item. Pros: Sound quality, build quality, comfortable in the ear. Cons: Maybe price, could be a little less expensive - maybe in $130-140 range? Was this review helpful? Yes No Bowers & Wilkins C5 Written By Anonymous, Chicago, Il. on Saturday, March 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice sounding earphones! I was considering a few others (in the $100-150 range), but settled on these after reading many reviews, and knowing the reputation and sound of B&W. They sound very open and natural across the frequency spectrum. Ear tip and placement in ear do make a big difference. The default ones seem the best for me. I have no problem switching tips (other people have said they tore). I am very careful and pinch near the end. They pop right off and go back on easily. I was concerned that I might feel the weight of the switches on the left ear cable, but I do not at all. They cable takes some getting used to, because it is very ridgid, and does not fall flat by itself like my other earphone cables. It is a minor inconvenience and the overall construction is rock solid. My source is an Ipod Nano with 320kbps mp3s. Very nice sound compared to my Sony and Klipsch earphones (though these were both much less $, and still very good products), but in my opinion worth it because I usually listen a few or several hours a week, and these B&Ws really do sound great. These C5s are loud compared to the others, so I can turn the volume down substantially to get the same impact, but with greater detail and clarity. Pros: Very 'open' and natural sounding. Durable construction. They also look nice and unique, but that was not important to me. Cons: Not a problem for me, but they will not block out much background noise. Cable takes some getting used to, but does have a nice look and solid feel. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Stays in ear well, but not otherwise impressed Written By Weston, Claremont, CA on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Poor build quality, combined with hard to use ear-tips (the original one ripped in trying to remove it), completely dampened my enthusiasm. I did not achieve particularly good sound when I could get the buds in properly. All in all, I realized I would be happier going back to my freebie iPhone stock earbuds. I don't love them, but they don't cost as much to disappoint me. Pros: The nifty design with the little loop of cable that holds the bud firmly in your ear. Cons: Hard to get good fit in the ear canal. Very hard to get ear-tips off the bud; removing the original one caused it to rip. Had buzzing in one bud. Without good fit in ear, sound was tinny. Hard (impossible?) to use the case as intended (how do you get the buds in the little holder thingy?). Case's zipper tab did not fit nicely into pull tab; came out and required me to adjust with pliers. 1 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bowers & Wilkins C5 Written By jack, fort white, fl on Monday, November 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great sound, fit in ears is excellent and they stay in with the loops. they are very comfortable to wear for extended period of time. Pros: sound ,build quality, non tangle wires 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Huge sound!!!! Written By Vic F., Glen Burnie, MD on Tuesday, November 08, 2011 I am a big fan of Bowers and Wilkins since I bought my first bookshelves way back in 2000. I tried the P5s on a store and really loved the sound and comfort as well as the quality of the construction, and not even speak about the look and style. Still, I have become an addict to the in-ear headphones due to the big convenience and versatility that they provide. I thought that after owning and using Bose IE I was not going to find anything better for the price. The C5s are on a league of their own. - Incredible sound, with powerful bass and clear sound all across the frequency spectrum. These devices were engineered for sound clarity, precision and sound detail. -They are definitely a system, that whenever setup properly, will provide perfection. The innovative infinitely loop feature is a +++ one, which takes a little time to master in order to know how to set it in your ear and adjusted to get the maximum out of them, but once you get them you start to realize what I am talking about. Advice, make sure that the whole loop fits where it is supposed to and then expand the loop to properly fit it. Then push it just a little bit to the inside to maximize the noise isolation feature. Once there, it almost works as well as a noise cancelling devices. -The quality in construction and electronics is simply top notch and you will notice once you use them. Give them around 20+ hours and the sound will simply expand even further. Enjoy!!! Pros: Sound, quality, design... Bowers and Wilkins Cons: Cable noise and case. 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By MRZ, New York, NY on Monday, October 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These really are remarkably high quality. In truth, I had been expecting to find that I had paid a bit of a markup for the B&W moniker, but they are every bit as luxurious as their price suggests. Thick cord, nicely weighted, and, most notably, perfect sound. This is one pair of headphones that really benefits from a couple weeks' breaking in. It's no myth. Don't be disappointed if they sound a bit unimpressive out of the box. Once they've loosened up they will dish out effortless gobs of bass beneath untouched, glimmering highs, and you will notice. Very immersive -- rich texture, tonal subtlety, and plenty of attack on drums. The wraparound ear-bracing is a bit gimmicky, but they are quite heavy, so I suppose it helps keep them in place. It's subtle enough. I still find myself adjusting them quite a lot as I walk, however. Moreover, because they're quasi-open-backed, they leak more sound than typical earbuds; not a problem on the subway but noticeable on airplanes, etc. This is probably my sixth or seventh pair of not-cheap earbuds over the years -- the cats do them all in eventually -- and I'm confident saying these are the best. They sound as good as I've heard with an iPhone or iPod; with a moderately amplified DAC they're incredible. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent sound Written By Dan B., York, PA on Friday, October 14, 2011 These are excellent headphones and rival the sound of traditional over-the-ear 'phones' as long as they are correctly placed in the ear canal which can be a little tricky. They also isolate sound very well when they are positioned correctly. Compared to what comes with an ipod/mp3 player, it is a whole other level of listening quality. I am especially impressed with how much bass these put out while still maintaining crisp mids and highs. I am also using these with an Nu-Force I-DAC2 headphone amp when listening to music on my computer. They sound great together. These earbuds may be fairly expensive, but some things are actually worth the price. These are. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bowers & Wilkins C5 Written By Hoss, Rochester NY on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these at Crutchfield to replace my UE SuperFI 5 Pros that recently died. I don't like compressed music so I have an iPod Classic and use the Lossless format. I really enjoyed the UEs so I wasn't sure about these especially since they are new and there aren't many reviews yet. I can now say the C5s are excellent! The sound stage is very open and much bigger than the UEs with great bass. My home speakers are Ohms which also have an excellent open sound stage and great imaging. The C5s are like mini-Ohms in my ears. I do think the UEs had finer details but the C5s have great bass and an overall balanced natural sound. I don't have enough listening hours yet for them to be fully burned in so I expect them to get better still. I give them a 5-star rating for the great sound and excellent build quality. For the price, these are a great value and I am very pleased that I bought them. 4 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Fit, Private Concert Written By Vik, San Jose, CA on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 This is a first impression review. Firstly, the fit is just perfect. My ears are small and the smallest earbud tips work the best. BTW, you need to tug pretty hard to remove currently installed tips. The infinitely adjustable loop is probably the coolest and most useful feature. I've always had problems with earphones falling out and I know these won't. They provide some pretty good passive surrounding noise isolation (not active-cancellation). So far, I've sampled some Diana Krall, Sypro Gyra, Adele, Neon Trees, Black Eyed Peas and Muse playing off of my iPhone with 'Sound Check' turned on. Jazz and lighter rock/pop sounds fantastic and well balanced across the frequency spectrum. There's not a lot of bass on most rock, pop (fine by me). Midrange seems pretty clear. Highs are a touch bright for my taste. As an iPhone handsfree unit, they work just fine. Vol Up/Down and Play/Pause controls on the inline remote work just fine. By far, the nicest set of earphones I've listened to. For most people, this will be an excellent upgrade over Apple's white buds. 7 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Middle Tennessee's BeBe and CeCe Winans took home big wins Saturday night at the 26th annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, a televised celebration of the gospel music community.
The Winans collectively won four awards — including contemporary female vocalist of the year for CeCe and song of the year for the BeBe-penned "Close to You" — at the show, which was held for the sixth consecutive year at the Grand Ole Opry House.
Also taking home four awards was the evening's top winner, Marvin Sapp, who was named artist of the year. Right behind Sapp was 2011's most-nominated act: Houston's James Fortune & FIYA, whose three wins included group of the year.
Connecticut choir J.J. Hairston & Youthful Praise opened the show with its popular worship song "Lord You're Mighty." Other highlights included Beverly Crawford, who ignited the room with a rousing rendition of "It's About Time For a Miracle," and Chicago's Joshua's Troop, who pulled out its irresistibly funky praise song "Everybody Clap Your Hands."
Another Chicagoan, VaShawn Mitchell, sang his gospel radio chart-topper "Nobody Greater," and Louisiana family band forever JONES performed "He Wants It All" after being named contemporary group of the year.

Mr. Chairman, delegates. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America.
I do so with humility, deeply moved by the trust you have placed in me. It is a great honor. It is an even greater responsibility.
Tonight I am asking you to join me to walk together to a better future. By my side, I have chosen a man with a big heart from a small town. He represents the best of America, a man who will always make us proud – my friend and America's next Vice President, Paul Ryan.
In the days ahead, you will get to know Paul and Janna better. But last night America got to see what I saw in Paul Ryan – a strong and caring leader who is down to earth and confident in the challenge this moment demands.
I love the way he lights up around his kids and how he's not embarrassed to show the world how much he loves his mom.
But Paul, I still like the playlist on my iPod better than yours.
Four years ago, I know that many Americans felt a fresh excitement about the possibilities of a new president. That president was not the choice of our party but Americans always come together after elections. We are a good and generous people who are united by so much more than what divides us.
When that hard fought election was over, when the yard signs came down and the television commercials finally came off the air, Americans were eager to go back to work, to live our lives the way Americans always have – optimistic and positive and confident in the future.
That very optimism is uniquely American.
It is what brought us to America. We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the ones who wanted a better life, the driven ones, the ones who woke up at night hearing that voice telling them that life in that place called America could be better.
They came not just in pursuit of the riches of this world but for the richness of this life.
Freedom of religion.
Freedom to speak their mind.
Freedom to build a life.
And yes, freedom to build a business. With their own hands.
This is the essence of the American experience.
We Americans have always felt a special kinship with the future.
When every new wave of immigrants looked up and saw the Statue of Liberty, or knelt down and kissed the shores of freedom just ninety miles from Castro's tyranny, these new Americans surely had many questions. But none doubted that here in America they could build a better life, that in America their children would be more blessed than they.
But today, four years from the excitement of the last election, for the first time, the majority of Americans now doubt that our children will have a better future.
It is not what we were promised.
Every family in America wanted this to be a time when they could get ahead a little more, put aside a little more for college, do more for their elderly mom who's living alone now or give a little more to their church or charity.
Every small business wanted these to be their best years ever, when they could hire more, do more for those who had stuck with them through the hard times, open a new store or sponsor that Little League team.
Every new college graduate thought they'd have a good job by now, a place of their own, and that they could start paying back some of their loans and build for the future.
This is when our nation was supposed to start paying down the national debt and rolling back those massive deficits.
This was the hope and change America voted for.
It's not just what we wanted. It's not just what we expected.
It's what Americans deserved.
You deserved it because during these years, you worked harder than ever before. You deserved it because when it cost more to fill up your car, you cut out movie nights and put in longer hours. Or when you lost that job that paid $22.50 an hour with benefits, you took two jobs at 9 bucks an hour and fewer benefits. You did it because your family depended on you. You did it because you're an American and you don't quit. You did it because it was what you had to do.
But driving home late from that second job, or standing there watching the gas pump hit 50 dollars and still going, when the realtor told you that to sell your house you'd have to take a big loss, in those moments you knew that this just wasn't right.
But what could you do? Except work harder, do with less, try to stay optimistic. Hug your kids a little longer; maybe spend a little more time praying that tomorrow would be a better day.
I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division. This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we CAN do something. With your help we will do something.
Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, "I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!"

I need a secondary display, to complement my laptop. The resolution 1920x1080 is enough for me (and I don't need anything too big: 20 - 23" is enough - but can be a little bigger).
Should I get a "normal" monitor or go for a TV instead?
Will the TV consume more power? How much more (in average)?
I will be using the secondary screen for work, mostly. Is a TV suited for close work? Or will it strain my eyes too much?
Image quality? Are there any gains, with a TV?

The First LEED Platinum Skyscraper Nearly Completed
After four years of construction the world's most sustainable skyscraper is nearly completed! Situated at One Bryant park in Midtown Manhattan, the crystalline structure will be the first high-rise to receive LEED Platinum certification. Designed for Bank of America by Cook+Fox Architects and Gensler and developed by The Durst Organization, the luminous spire will introduce a dose of levity to New York's skyline while incorporating an excellent assortment of sustainable strategies.
Designed to respond to dense urban conditions, One Bryant Park aims "to enhance the health and productivity of its tenants, reduce waste, and promote environmental sustainability". The 54-story high rise interfaces seamlessly at the street level where it improves pedestrian and transit circulation with widened sidewalks, through-block passageways, and an urban garden room.
From there the skyscraper rises with a soaring facade composed of floor-to-ceiling high-performance glass that insulates the structure while saturating its interiors with daylight. An under-floor air delivery system efficiently provides for natural ventilation, while an on-site co-generation plant provides the structure with power and heat. The high rise is also able to capture and reuse rain and waste water to fulfill nearly all of its needs, which will allow it to save 10.3 million gallons of water each year. Finally, the skyscraper is constructed through and through with low VOC, reclaimed, and recycled materials sourced within 500 miles of New York City.

" … the luminous spire will introduce a dose of levity to New York's skyline …"
No! Not "levity!" It is on days like this that I imagine a future in which ideas are conveyed by video and no one remembers what words mean, much less how to apply them.
Levity. n : lightness of mind, character, or behavior; lack of appropriate seriousness or earnestness.
This is exactly the opposite of what the author had hoped to convey.
October 2, 2008 at 11:57 am
One really shouldn't use a headline like, "The First LEED Platinum Skyscraper…", or a descriptive phrase like, "will be the first high-rise to receive LEED Platinum certification", for a building which has not been actually certified yet.
It feeds into a arms race of exaggerated PR claims, which just doesn't help the factual basis of real sustainability. And it is unfair to projects (and publishers) who avoid such hyperbole. Finally, it devalues the certification process, and the authentic brand value of LEED certification, by taking it for granted and short-cutting the appropriate time for recognition.

Nice building. Futuristic in its design.

November 26, 2013 - I bought the brown one as a gift for a friend and didn't end up giving it to her. It really is more like a large bandana - feels like cheap material (stiff and starchy) and isn't very big. I wouldn't buy it again.
March 17, 2013 - not a real large scarf but it sure looks good with casual clothes - kind of like a fancy bandana. I'm glad I bought it.
December 9, 2012 - Very very pretty. I wish the fabric was more substantial. It is thin cotton. I do like it and have gotten compliments but really wish there was more fabric & somewhat heavier.
Artisan: Prokritee
"A women earning helps the entire family because the women invest their earnings in family. Then the family's betterment brings good impact on the entire community because of money circulation at different levels or circles."
Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bangla) is an agency that is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged women who have little or no other opportunities. Most of the women employed by Prokritee are the heads of their households because they have been widowed, divorced, or separated, they have little or no income, are landless with few or no assets, and are primarily rural. Prokritee is a service-based agency that provides artisan organizations with management, product design and development, and marketing assistance. By providing jobs and skills for the women they are able to improve the women's standard of living and help them send their children to school. The women are paid a fair wage, offered training on quality awareness, health, savings, and gender equality, and are provided with a medical allowance and assistance, maternity leave, incomes bonuses, and loan options.
Artisan Minoti Mondal
A cheerful woman who enjoys her work, Minoti has been working for Bagdha, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, for twenty years now. Before Minoti was twenty years old she married a poor farmer. Life was a struggle and after having two sons and two daughters, her husband's income was just not enough. She started looking for work and found a handicraft project that was hiring poor and widowed women. She now works primarily with wood, carving wooden toys. The income she has earned has helped her family immensely. Her four children have been able to finish secondary school, and her 23 year old son has gone on to become a businessman. She is happy she was able to help her children further their education, and hopes to work for Bagdha for as long as she can.
Artisan Usha Rani
Today Usha is a very skilled weaver for Hajiganj Handicrafts, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, but it wasn't always that way. When Hajigani was first started, Usha and the other women hired didn't know anything about weaving and had to be trained. The training lasted a couple of months, and by the end the women were able to weave baskets of all different shapes and sizes. Because Usha is highly skilled, she has been promoted to supervisor. She supervises the other producers to makes sure they are weaving quality baskets, and creates samples for customers.

I've been invited to demonstrate some of my fabrication techniques to a local highschool class. It will be in the evenings and for the kids who are really interested in learning about welding.
I don't believe I should be the one to teach welding. I don't have much formal education, not even a high school diploma, especially in welding. But what I do bring to the table is an attitude about making things.
Here's what I'm thinking about for the curriculum. Based upon personal experience I would like to have the kids start off with rectangular frames made from 1/4" by 1" bar stock. The frame should be thirty six by forty two inches. We'll refer to it as a gate frame.
Then I'll have them make up some bending tools using angle iron and pieces of pipe. That will be followed with them doing their own thing bending pieces of bar stock to fill the gate frame. The pieces of bar stock will be cut too short for them to make straight up and down pickets.
Attached is a picture of a gate I made for an aunt and uncle. We were visiting and they needed a gate. All I had on the truck was some pieces of bar stock left over from a job. So to fill up the gate I had to bend and weld what I had at hand.
The gate was still too short. I asked them and their neighbor what I could do to fill in the spot above the gate. "Put a hat on it" the neighbor suggested.
"A hat?" I asked.
"Yup", he said. "make a cowboy hat."
"How would I do that?"
"I think an eight on its side with an upside down U on top would do it", he said.
What do you think? Would it work with the kids?

It looks like a great plan to me
Is the plan for you to make one gate, or to have all the kids make their
own gates? If each kid is to make a gate, be prepared for some to say
that they don't want/need a gate, but do want/need some other thing.
If the idea is to "get them interested" then giving 'em a bit of leeway
to pick their own projects really helps -- they already have a vested
interest in that project.
The gate looks pretty complex (and neat) -- I assume you've figured out
whether there's enough time, material, equipment, tools, supplies, and
all that to do it :-)
Don't forget safety issues.
Teaching, even informally, is a lot of fun.
Let us know how it goes

Camp Verde. I was born in Cottonwood way back in the day. The fact is when I was twelve years old there was two Az Republic newspaper routes in Cottonwood. I had thirty five papers and downtown. A big kid had the rest of the area and I think he had fifty or so papers. That was 1960 or so.

I'd be interested in sitting in the class.
If you call it a gate, the kids may be inclined to make it look like a gate that they have seen which is fine, but not that creative.
An interesting option would be to have the students start on their gate and after a set amount of time, everybody rotates to a different gate so they'd have to work off of what has already been done forcing them to think more outside the boxMiller 350P

Thats a good idea. Im a highschool student taking welding and it doesnt sound too complex. If they have no knowledge of how to weld it will take them a little bit more time to figure out how to get things started, so remember patience is the key. But like he said, you should have them switch it up a little bit to force them to think outside of the box, and try different techniques. It looks like a good plan though, good luck with it!Lala

Add a piece of Romex the same length as their pickets to let them shape it by hand first and get the feel of what they want before they bend it.

Any kid that bothers to show up in the evenings is willing to learn. I was fortunate to have a 9th grade Industrial Arts teacher that cared about his students. We had a "work night" about twice a month at night. That was the best experience that I had in school. It was optional and I still remember enjoying it 45 years later even though I had to miss "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." once in a while to be there. As a side note, after school was over for that year, we had some unfinished projects that were being made for the teachers. Some of us made arrangements to go up to school and finish those. Times were good.
The gate concept is good. It will make them do some thinking and I'll bet that some of the "gates" will be very good.Jim

I don't get this influx of Russian classical music just because it is in Sochi. It is far too obvious for my taste and shows lack of creativity or risk taking.
Does it mean just because the Olympic is in US, skaters should adopt country/jazz/blues music or Gershwin or John Williams? Olympic in Japan, lets all do memoir of a geisha or Hisashi? etc etc.
As far as I am concerned, an automatic +1 should be awarded in every PCS category just for any use of
- None Russian music
- No warhorse/'worldly acclaimed legit' classical music.
- No where near Carmen. (In fact this should result in - 1 deduction unless your surname ends with Virtue or Moir)
- Any program that has nothing to do with Morozov (to be fair, he will get home bonus anyway, so this way of marking just balance it all out to 0)
- Special award for using composers from outside Europe.

Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jim Magnificent Helmet! It is a fantastic helmet. It is a very slick looking helmet while providing superb protection. I highly recommend this helmet. My son got it in Navy and White and cant stop loving the CPX-R. The shipping was super simple, just a little info and the helmet is at your doorstep in about 5 days. So I have to say thanks to Cascade and Dicks Sporting Goods! Hope this helped you out! April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by lax13 great deal and fast Ordered online with coupon an free shipping, was an excellent deal. Arrived in a week. The only criticism was that I have to put the stickers on myself. I had thought they would do that for me. December 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Sebastian Shaw It's great! This helmet is amazing in so many ways. The look, the shape, and the feel of it is so unique from helmets like the pro7. While I am still a pro7 fan and currently have 2, this helmet is quickly growing on me. I got this helmet to use for club, and although I haven't tested it in any games yet, wearing it is really snug. Personally, it was a little harder to adjust to this as my pro7's have a bit of a loose fit on me, so I have been used to that loose feel for quite some time. Overall, the only problems I had with it was shipping time, adjusting the fit in the beginning, and I'm just a little bit skeptical of the neck protection, but the benefits far outweigh the cost and it is definitely a top of the line helmet. Can't wait to test it in games! August 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kelly Post attack It was fun to design My son loves this helmet. It's comfortable and allows good vision. He espcially liked picking out his unique design. Online ordering was easy and it was delivered in just a few days. May 27, 2012

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I just started playing a month or two ago and have fallen in love with the sport, playing 5-10 a week. The stores around here only sell Innova discs and even though I love them I want to see what else is out there. Here is what I currently use:
162 Champion Monarch - I really love this one, I can bomb it easily
167 Star Valkyrie - Still having issues with overstability, but I can throw decently
180 DX Roc - Love this as well, very dependable for all shots
167 Champion Spyder - Usually use when I need to park up next to the basket w/out risk of much movement
175 Champion Rhyno - My baby, I will not use another putter!!
I seem to have better luck with 160-165g discs, probably haven't developed enough power yet for heavier discs. From my results with the monarch, understable is probably the route I want to go. Any suggestions would be wonderful, I am not familiar with the plastic type of other manufacturers but I can figure that out easily enough. Thanks in advance =)

Comments about Etón American Red Cross FRX3 Weather Radio:
I used to work as a salesman at a Brookstone by me, and a few months into my employment there, Hurricane Sandy hit. A few days before the storm, we got a whole shipment of these to put on the floor, but I didn't know too much about them. Apparently the customers knew a lot about these radios and wanted them badly. People who never came to the store, or the mall the Brookstone was in, came specifically for this radio. I got mine the day before the storm based on the customers' reviews, and then we sold out of them in minutes when news of the storm hit. Now I see what the big deal was. This radio is awesome. It's not meant to have a house party with music, but it does have a pretty good speaker. You can charge it with a USB connection, but if the power goes out, then you can use batteries. If that options gone, then you can use the handcrank, but you have to crank it a while to have a significant charge. If you get tired cranking, then you can put it in the sun and use the solar power charge, but just warning you, it takes a long time to charge that way. This is really the perfect little thing to have during a storm.

Rush Soccer Reaches 4th Continent!
Rush Soccer is pleased to welcome New Zealand Rush to our growing international soccer family. New Zealand Rush, which currently does business as Olé Football Academy, is based in Wellington and serves 100 players at the 6-10 year old levels.
At New Zealand Rush, success is not measured by the number of league championships that are won, but rather on the level of personal and football development that players achieve through participating in our programs. The club is focused on the individual and has a proven track record of developing and placing elite New Zealand players at US universities and professional clubs. Through passion, commitment, and science, New Zealand Rush creates an environment that empowers players with the skills and character to succeed in both football and life.
New Zealand Rush Director Nate Winkel is thrilled to have partnered with Rush Soccer. "This is a great step forward for [the club] and the opportunities we can offer our players. We have had many offers to 'partner' with European pro clubs, but that often just meant a logo on the website/shirts and the opportunity for one or two players to trial for a pro contact. Our agreement with Rush is much more than that, there is a real commitment of resources and the opportunity for all our players to benefit."
Nate began his football career at Marquette University and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration before embarking on an 8-year professional footballing career with Minnesota Thunder (USA), Virginia Beach Mariners (USA), Höllvikens GIF (Sweden), Carolina Dynamo (USA) and Högaborgs BK (Sweden). Nate has been leading Olé Football Academy since 2009 where he has played a key role in developing players in New Zealand and ensuring that they have opportunities to play internationally.
Olé and Rush share similar objectives in terms of player development and advisory for US University scholarships. "These guys have a history of producing players. I am absolutely thrilled to have them part of the Rush," commented Rush President and C.E.O. Tim Schulz. " We always ask ourselves when adding a partner if they are going to make the brand better. Well, there is no question with this club. I am very proud to welcome the New Zealand Rush!"
