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.

ESW10s are my goto portable now. Just because the cord is short and its easy

This is one of my "trans"-portable combinations.

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 walk around work with my hippocase strapped to my belt and use the Shure PTH with my SE530s...so i dont have to take them out to speak to people =)

Of course people look, of course people ask and i happily answer...

"im a Asian guy that likes electronics, who would of thought.....!!"

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.
