Just bought my 1st mp3 player a Sandisk Clip in the reveiws in newegg said the headphones that came with it r junk was wondering about a good brand or modle of headphones that doesn't cost more than about $30.00 US. and are mp3 files better than WMA file for better sound? Thank you for your help and time!
 
I believe WMA files are more compact than MP3 but MP3 is so overwhelmingly the standard format that it is almost pointless to use alternatives.
 
WMA is a better sound for a given bitrate, though both are good with high enough bitrates.
