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?

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.

Sorry I haven't had that problem so I haven't checked. I've been able to twist and mold the cable to conform to my ear and not have it move. Good luck

I've never had any problem with sound or music breaking or stopping for unknown reasons, these headphones have been surprisingly reliable. Not very comfortable though. I use in the house mostly. Hope this helps.

I go for bike rides with these on and I can say that the cord jostling around does not interrupt the music UNLESS you've got the cord rubbing along the edge of an undone zipper. Then it makes a LOT of noise. Just zip up your jacket and you should be fine.

when moving the weight has a sound, but at no time annoying when exercising

It all depends on what program you are using. I purchased the garage band app, which is awesome. But i did come across the issue you are asking about, and in the Garage Band app, you have to turn on the monitor to hear yourself play. The ishred app that you get for free with the cable doesnt have too many options so i deleted it. Any more questions feel free to ask. But if the monitor function is on, and u still have no sound, then the cable may be bad.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke. If you find that out let me know. Tks Claudia

it goes through walls for me. I live in a dorm right now and whenever I'm at my friend's next door, I would have to disconnect so we can hear from my computer speakers again. It also overrides headphone and hdmi aux.

Good question ? I,ve had mine for a couple of years now , I've placed it on various surfaces , this device is quite heavy there-for it will not walk & no vibration . (P.S.) : its quite a "niftee" package & the sound is great ! hope this brief is help-ful ?

Yes it will work while walking. The sound will work great as long as the earphone connector seats fully in the Fiio device. The only slight annoyance is the extra wire length added to the earphone wire that you have to stuff in a pocket. I was elated to get proper sound back so I'm happy I don't have to buy a new apple device.

If you're just walking at low speed, it's very quiet though not silent, and it does 'beep' on startup and at the end of the cycle. You might be able to disable the beeper, but I haven't tried. The overall sound is not bad. I can talk on the phone while walking and no one knows. If you're walking fast or running, there is a definite 'hum' not to mention the sound of your footfalls. A lot depends on the room too. If you have all hard surfaces (no carpeting or furnishings) then the sound will seem louder.

Yes-when you listen through headphones, there is no "external" sound-so it will work perfectly! I use it in that mode for exercises (same pentatonic scale over and over)... so I don't drive my wife insane.:&gt;}

Hi Debra, a great question!! The mechanism will NOT make noise as you are wearing it, UNLESS it dislodges or losens from the armband. However, it IS designed to emit a beep or series of beeps to ALERT you to something. 99% of the time, I don't even know I'm wearing it. I was self conscience at first about people knowing, but in the summer time when wearing a sleevless blouse it is pretty evident. It becomes a conversation piece, and I've noticed people are really interested in the concept. I hope you enjoy yours and reap the benefits of a fit body!! It REALLY DOES work!!!

Yes. I had that problem. I think it's because of charge induced in the cable from static electricity or could be from bending of the cable. I love the sound, best pair I have owned..had to return them because control button induced noise and commanded iPhone to go to next song. They need to adopt Bose cable system. Bose does not have isolalation which is a problem in noisy environments like a gym; but Bose provides true surround sound with with their speaker on the outside of your ear.

This used to drive me nuts until I upped my walking speed to 2.3mph (which I believe is still below the maximum recommended NEAT threshold). Somewhere around that speed the treadmill gains enough momentum that the stops (still unavoidably every 30 minutes) are not jarring; you get in a few steps of deceleration that, for me, made all the difference. Now to spraypaint some yellow bands across the belt so I can easily perceive if it's running or not while working with earplugs.

Hi.On mine, when I plug in headphones, the sound switches from the speakers to the headphones. With headphones plugged in, you can listen to music without disturbing anyone else.
