Sounds like I'll buy a Clip Zip when I upgrade then.   EDIT: I meant zip...

Does the Clip Zip have an advantage over the Clip+ besides showing album art?  I got the impression it was more of a step back otherwise.

After deciding on the Audio-Technica ATH-A900Xs as my headphones of choice, I then realized that my mp3 player (currently a well-used iPod Nano 6th Generation) might need an amp.  So then I went looking for one and found the FiiO E6 portable amp.  Do I really need an amp for this setup, or would...

My thought process exactly, the white exterior only marks a different interior.   Ignore This   UPDATE: Just got word the original gaming headset is shipping, it's a pair of Razer Kraken 7.1s (USB connected version).  If I was to buy the M50s would they outclass it in every way except the...

Totally forgot to mention (in fact I forgot it entirely) I have actually gotten to try the original M50s, albeit for only a minute, so I know at least short term they are very comfortable.  Not in love with the pleatherish coating on the ear pads however, which is why I'd be interested in...

I actually have some usb surround sound headphones on order, but do to my standard headphones dying it looks like I'll have to cancel them and purchase a set that isn't usb based so I can use it on things other than my PC.

If I was to go with the M50s, does anyone know if the comfort level is enhanced enough to warrant the M50xs?  Perhaps I could upgrade them with some other more comfortable ear pads?  I don't particularly care whether or not the cable is removable.

They would experience a lot of portable use, however I'm really unsure of the sound signature, being new to headphones.  I lack the ability to try either as the nearest retailer that might carry either of them is more than three hours out from where I live.  I would like headphones that would...

Alright as my first post here (I've been lurking on and off for a year or two) and since my headphones left channel audio decided to quit on me, I'm wondering about the major differences between these two Audio-Technicas.  Since my musical tastes include just about everything and these...
