Does movement (like walking) interrupt music because you can hear every bumping sound the cable makes against your legs, body etc? Anyone know?

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

Yes, you hear microphonics with every move it's very annoying if you don't have music blasting and are listening to a podcast or something similar

Honestly, probably not. My main noise from treadmill is just from the movement of the belt, but the sound isn't a real issue with me. I turn on the TV and really don't hear any bad noises. Take care

I use these daily. I've never noticed an audible noise (or any rustling) when moving, grabbing, or handling the cable during a conversation. However, I did notice, upon closer inspection, that if one grabs or rubs the cable within a few inches of the headset, or taps, grabs, or bumps the headset itself, this can be heard. I attribute this noise as ambient due to its close proximity to the ears and not a fault of the headset or the headset's cable. Great product!

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

No it does not interfere with the sound but if your tablet is on for a long time it can overheat the battery.

I run about half a mile every other day and I used it for the 1st time. I had my ipod touch in my armband and used Jabra Sport but didn't experience any disconnected sound.

No. The sound is generated by purely mechanical means: other electronic devices nearby have no effect on it.

It really doesn't make many sounds. It will make a noise when it is first placed on your arm to let you know it is working. It will make a noise if the connection is lost to let you know you aren't connected. Other than that, any other sound will come from an alarm you set. I don't think there is a way to completely silence the device by turning off the connect/disconnect notifications.

I use the noise cancelation feature on planes all of the time and I have never heard that. Maybe the cable is bad or a bad connection maybe? Does it crackle if you twist the mini plug on the headphone side or phone/ipod side? They definitely should not do that. Maybe, maybe bad batteries could cause that too.

well, because is for relaxing, the music is low volume or with headphones but is from an outside device (TV or cell phone) no through the device itself. as per my understanding the sound from the device was not the best but I don't recall that the sound coming from the device change the pace of the wave effects... thanks for point it out I will check it out, but any how as it is the wave pace is perfect.

I have with mixed results ... the speakers can move when it's not on your head but a small velcro patch on the speakers keeps them in 1 place when it's on your head. There's a narrow and wide part of the headband but the wire it always where the slit for the speakers is. That doesn't really bother me.

It probably will cancel the traffic noise but the beat from the bass from the bar definitely will still vibrate through your apartment. There's little you can do about unwanted vibration except move!

yep. I've found that a tiny adjustment to the resistance will make the noise go away. I think it's just a result of something rubbing on something else, probably will get smoother as you break it in.

Sure, with my headphones but it's a bit muffled through the fabric. It's always set on vibrate so if I can't hear it I will always feel it vibrate.

There are normal levels of vibrations transfer which I've found consistent in any "in ear" headphone. I don't hear anything excessive, especially when compared to any headphone with the noise cancelling rubber ear piece. Hope that helps

I assume this is a joke! The cable does a very good job of eliminating static/feedback or whatever electronic noise comes through when playing your phone or device through the car radio. I readily recommend it. You will have to speak to your car dealer about road noise.
