Songza turns the usual genre browsing paradigm on its head, instead letting you choose music by activity with an intuitive interface.

Check out the popular tab (button at bottom) to see what other Songza users are listening to right now. You have to admit the playlist names are much more compelling than, say, "'90s hip-hop."
When you plug in a pair of headphones or earbuds, Songza displays a HQ button. When pressed, you'll be able to pick your make and model of headphones from a list.
Once you hit the HQ button, you can choose the brand of headphones you use, then find your particular pair from a list with photos. I experienced a noticeable difference once I selected my Sony earbuds.
