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 have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.

The noise actually comes from the fan that drives the resistance. I just throw on some headphones and hardly notice it. It sounds like an old vacuum cleaner.

Both the tv sound and the speaker work. If, however, someone walks between it does make a static sound but the tv sound continues. You cannot have anything in the path or you will get a static sound.

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

The black volume switch on the cord is a little heavier than the cord. When you run it causes the black part to bounce around on your neck, jostling the headphones.

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.

It did this when I had a speaker near it and it caused vibration. Once I moved the speaker away and had it where no vibrations hit it, it worked fine.

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.

There is a small weighted device inside. It moves easily back and forth when you are walking. This generates a signal that you are taking steps. If that is not it, it may have a loose screw or something and may have to be replaced.

I noticed that the audio is only activated if there is sound to pick up. I can hear it kick on to track noise and off after sounds has stopped for a bit. I haven't experienced it cutting out while sounds is going on. Hope this helps :)

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

Hi Mesla! No noise whatseover. And, as I had described in my review, if you don't access the data on the device (meaning if it is not touched) for longer than 5 minutes, it goes into the silent mode (meaning it turns itself off), but continues to track your steps. I usually put it in my pocket and don't take it out until I go to bed to see how much I've walked during the day. I believe this is a great buy!

The step itself is not noisy. However, it depends on your workout how the sound will carry. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

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.
