I'm thinking of getting the ziks because the design looks really nice and I really like the touch controls. Does anyone know if there is a windows app for them yet? Also im not an elephant but I have larger than average ears. I watched a video that said the cups were small. Anyone know anything?

I'm ok with cell phones

but wireless audio, wireless mice and keyboards, and wifi, all terrible compared to wired.

here here my good man. and so are those vile contraptions the horseless carriage such noisy and bothersome mechanations they are. a proper gentleman drives a horse and buggy. /sip tea with pinky finger raised. 

 

wireless is not the staticky hissing popping mess it was in iterations past. great gains have been and are being made in the wireless audio front and I, for one, welcome the new format to come.
