No but they agreed for a repair/replacement thank god. But I don't have my hopes up for some reason.

Lol, that was just for me to take the picture because I couldn't get the Clip to stand up.

Well we are in a age where 90% of the population give or take is ruled by ipod ear buds and other low in ear buds, I am willing to sacrifice how goofy I look to listen to my fluorescent grado's and over sized M50.

Don't worry, I wear my Grados in public also. And I've got yellow leather wrapped around the headband, maybe not quite that bright, but still yellow.

I keep thinking I need to get some neatsfoot oil to darken it up some.

About M50, how portable can it be considered compared to HD280? If it's less bulkier than 280 I might get a rig myself.

M50 are just a big as the HD280 I believe but the M50 in my opinion wins out because it can collapse inward and it is more durable.

i used to carry an amp around, but, as for my school dressing code is an issue, i just use it straight out from my ipod. you know, wearing a jean, and having something so big and bulky will have your leg uncomfortable when walking around. But, some other days when i go out wearing a short pant, will sure carry it

I don't think I've seen jeans with pockets that big!

Have been to most airports in Europe, and to many in Asia, must put it on the screening belt when passing security check, but never any problems.
Of course, if you have a portable piece of equipment, it is meant to be used portable?

Depends on the DAP, My hitachi personal CD player and SANSA clip both do a fine job without an amp, at least for driving any headphones I'm likely to use in public.
