None, as much as I want to.  Sometimes OTB though I listen to Michael Jackson, Murray Head's One Night in Bangkok, or some Duran Duran.  I also have some Danny Elfman tunes.  I am the Oogie Boogie man after all ^_^

I am completely against listening to anything while trying to concentrate on a game, and if I can hear a single musical note from my opponent's headphones, it's too loud, and I file a complaint.  That also applies to those on neighboring boards.

I wish they'd ban them completely.  The USCF finally made it that the TD has the option to ban them, and that players must get permission to use one.  If I were ever to organize a tournament, I'd ban those god-awful things - one violation equals expulsion from the tournament!

I wouldn't wear them in official games though only casual unrated ones.
