Is it normal for these to make a loud "boom" if anything lightly touches a headphone wire above or even slightly below the microphone?

I never heard any complaints from people I'm talking with, so I'll have tosay "no". And I talk on these things walking, in bed, and scuba diving (thatlast one is a lie). I will double check with friends to see if they ever hearany noise like that. I will also test with them, and report back if they dohear any booming sounds.

Yes, this model suffers from severe "Stethoscope Effect" - very much noticeable whenever connected to your device and you're not playing any music - slightly noticeable while playing music.However the noise is very disturbing (even with your music on) when the cables move near your face or neck.The earphone comes with an adjustable 'cheap' tie that holds the right and left cables together but remember that you cannot move it beyond the microphone to make a tight fit of the cables under your chin to prevent dangling.

No, there is a light noise as expected from touching the wires, but not a loud boom.

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

That sound you are hearing is likely the in-body stabilization when you half-press the button. It is perfectly normal (if this is the use case scenario). If it just has this hum while not touching anything, sounds like you may have an issue.

Have not had that situation come up. I guess I would give them over the ear headphones and adjust the volume correctly.

I have been using a pair of these speakers live for about 6-7 years now. They are not noisey at all either with my mackie mixer or my newer Behringer mixer. I suspect your mixer is introducing the noise.

I do on some occasions. I push or twist the "plug" on the headphones and then the sound comes in louder.

the sizzle you hear might just be static but if its loud enough that its distracting its probably a defective unit. a little static is normal with these things. just a little tho..

Yes, and to be honest I think that it is normal but I'm not a professional, every stereo system I have ever owned, has done that. Only at very low volumes.

Sharon - I agree with the responses already given. The only time I get feedback or a squealing noise is when I bend over too far. This usually happens when I'm adjusting my boombox or demonstrating a deck move. (I teach water aerobics). I wish there were a way to incorporate the voicebooster into a fanny pack. It bounces up & down frequently. Any ideas? bjsallows@sbcglobal.net

There's some sound leak but it all depends how loud you listen to the music. Hope this helps

It's should be, the noise is usually caused by different components being grounded to different areas. This should eliminate the feedback loop you are hearing.

I've had the same problem since I plugged it in. A small buzzing sound that gets louder. If I tap the earpiece where the mic arm is attached it goes away briefly. I sent that pair back, but the new set does the exact same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably, I find it noisy in the effects loop of my amp. Not so much directly into input.

I've never had that problem. .. maybe you have them turned up to high.. I keep mine at half and they are plenty loud

My roommate and I both have UE Booms and niether of us have had this (or any) issue. I hate to say it but i think you got a defective unit.

Wow that actually sounds like you have an awesome speaker setup. The only thing I could say, and this happened to me, when you turn up the volume it obviously makes your bass bigger which can make your speaker wires shake and touch each other which will throw it to protect mode....check it out and let me kno

According to the user guide, buzzing is normal. My first pair had constant static and Sony replaced them. I haven't tried them yet, but hopefully they are better. Doesn't make sense that noise cancelling head phones make noise...
