Like skullcandy do you hear whenever the cable is touched or bumps into something? I cannot stand when I'm jogging and all i head is the cable moving

No. At least I have never heard it with the ones I have. But remember, these are being discontinued. I have been using them for years, primarily because they are NOT distracting and just do what they are supposed to do. I'll miss them when I wear out my last set.

Yeah, that happens with these and every wired earbud. Try looking for some Bluetooth headsets if it bothers you that much.

You do hear some transmission through the cord, but not as much as other head phones. The extra mass of the large driver, and the added stiffness in the ear pieces does not transmit as much as smaller headphones that have the thin silicon bell ear inserts.

I never experienced this issue and I've had several pair of these ear buds. I love them.

I don't think so, I used them when I was at the gym and I'd ride the bikes and I never had an issueHonestly great pair of headphonesI love the traveling case they provideAnd there such good quality I'm buying another pair soon, someone lost my pair

Yes I have and still do. I use earbuds but it's still not all that great. There are other issues too, do you have a problem with clarity? The touch screen is not very "touchy"...very frustrating. Battery also gets extremely hot I have to turn it off after a while. I would not buy one again.

Now I'm really confused! According to the CNET review, this is an "over the ear" type of bluetooth headset. I don't think I can stand to have an earbud stuck in my ear. Nuts, and I was just about to buy the silly thing too! Any ideas out there for those of you who can't stand to have anything stuck in your ears?Help!Carol

I listen to music while I run. The cord to my earphones plugs into my android phone. There are two zippers. The cord simply passes through a small opening at the end of the zipper.

when headphones are connected, the volume control on the 'device' does not increase or decrease the volume in the headphones. whatcha got is whatcha got. but the sound is fine.

I use mine for running and they cutout all the time. It's annoying when listening to music and downright frustrating when listening to podcasts. They also can be too quiet when listening to podcasts, even with the volume all the way up. I want to like these but can't for the aforementioned reasons.

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

I love this thing! There is a spot on the bottom where the headphone jack is that plugs in. So regular headphones work. I then pull the cord through the strap and usually string it throughu work out shirt so it doesn't get tangles and it's out of the way!

I have the same problem. I think it is the proactive plastic over the speaker for the ear and the mic. I use a bluetooth headset with my phone while it is in the case. I also use Ironman yurbuds when I run and listen to music.

It is longer than I would like, but I always run the cord down behind me instead of in front so it's not a problem for running. I clip a ipod shuffle to the hem of my shirt on the left side and go. No problem. I never use headphones for weight workouts, so I don't know if I'd have the same experience then.

My headphones do the same thing. I believe it is charging. I have used them without issues.

They do not fit tight, you could run and hear everything. If you keep it looped around the ear, you can jog like that, but it is not as stable.. Walking with it completely out is very unstable. It does not fit into the ear canal like the LG 700 series and is built so you can run and still be aware of your surroundings

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

No but terrific fit for my jogging / runs and great sound, thereby not missing the noise cancellation feature..

No, they do not. Cable is actually on the thinner side as well. Still headphones have a good all around sound, are light, and very comfortable. I have them in my office.

I have not experienced any issues when I go out walking or jogging, but that is the extent of my exercising. I do not do much weightlifting, although I wear these things all day long and haven't had issues with them falling off. During work I only hang one side since my headphone for work uses the other ear. :)

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?
