Does movement (like walking) interrupt music because you can hear every bumping sound the cable makes against your legs, body etc? I have owned Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds and when I walk with them the cable sends all the noise to my ears (isolated from all other sounds) and it interrupts the music flow. I was wondering if the J2 earbuds are better in this area. Anyone know?

I've read posts that there are third party sellers selling counterfeit Sennheiser products. Did you purchase yours directly from Amazon and not a third party? Just curious.

I've read posts that bigfoot and the chupacabra are running rampant in the SE United States, too.

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.

Wind noise has not been a problem for me. The bigger problem is that if your phone is in the back pocket of your jersey your head and body seems to interfere with the blue tooth connection. I find that looking behind to the left causes a temporary loss of connection. This isn't a problem for music, but it is for listening to books. This doesn't happen when the phone is on your arm or on the handle bars.

Hi Ryan,I have small ears and I have the same problem with earbuds.This doesn't go all the way in the ear canal,so it works great.I'm a truck driver,so I spend alot of time on the phone in a loud enviroment.I never have any complaints about background noise,which I have had with prior headsets.Also,it has a great volume controll.I really think it'll work great for you.It comes with 3 sizes of ear pieces,and even tough I have a small ear canal,I found the medium was the best for me.Try it,I think you'll like it,and you sure can't beat this price.I paid $89.

I've had both. Sadly they both suffered from the same problem. They became disconnected from the bud itself. It was nice having the big water proof dongle for runs and things like that but ultimately I think that the sound quality was roughly the same between the two. I had both for about 6-9 months. Don't get me wrong these are great earbuds but I did expect them to last longer and I will probably not purchase them again. Currently I have both the Harman Kardon BT over-ear headphones and the NC model as well. No complaints yet.

Just tried it with my Sennheiser PMX 100 and HD280 pro headphones and got nothing. But I have noticed at times some strange static through the headphones as I move around at my desk. I can't pin it on the ICON, but it only happens when using it... so maybe that does pin it on the ICON...

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.

I found them superior to PowerBeats 2 due to:- More secure fit; PowerBeats 2 dislodged about every 1-2 miles while running- Richer sound- Most importantly, the PowerBeats 2 cord kept getting stuck to the back of my neck, so that when I would turn my head the earpiece on the side opposite my gaze would dislodge. Super annoying.

there is some cable noise in all my earbuds, and yes I find it annoying. I notice it mostly during phone conversations. Music playback is excellent.

I wear them when I walk run in my neighborhood. They get a little sweaty but sound way better than ear buds and I haven't had any performance issues with them. They stay put.

I had the same problem so I ordered a great sounding pair of earbuds called "chops" & they are sold by Skullcandy. They sound as good as Apple earbuds, but they stay in place. You can order them online from Skullcandy & they ship really fast. Also, they have a great warranty...

My experience is very different. Maybe my pair is defective but I could barely hear any music over the mower. I was hoping to listen to audio pod casts while mowing but after turning on the mower, I quickly realized that was completely out of the question. The headphones seem to limit outside noise pretty well and turned up I could hear every blade of grass as I walked across the lawn. However, it didn't let me increase the volume of my music independent of the outside mower noise. Volume increases from my Galaxy Not3 3 was ignored. One volume adjustment wheel on the headphones and it reproduced all the outside noise and my music at the same volume. i don't understand how the others had a good result.

The audio is constantly choppy, I wear my ipod on my forearm when I run so maybe the distance is too great for smooth audio play? who knows? I have begun the return process on my Jabras and have already purchased a pair of Jaybirds.

niether do I. yes you hear things...it's disturbing but the headphone has really good bass response and it's very comfortable while exercising. taking everything into account it's well worth buying...

I don't know. Is the earphone connection loose? I figured out that the newer ones have strange earphone jacks. YOu have to push the connector in really hard, seems like you might break it, to get it seated correctly. ON the way there, you may get sound out of only one side, or no sound. When you move, the movement of the earphone may be causing the sound to cut out. However, when it is firmly seated in the correct place, it plays correctly out of both earphones. It loosens up over time. Contact Sansa if that doesn't work. they have great customer support.

I hear it too sometimes - sounds in your skull are amplified. Try chewing gum or tapping on your forehead and you'll see what I mean. When you walk with solid heels the shock goes all the way through your spine into your skull and you actually hear it. I wear nice cushy athletic shoes often and I don't get the thump (as much) with those. I also get some microphonic cord noise - and have to clip the cord away from collars. I still think it's worth it. These are the only phones you can use in the NYC subway and still get good sound.

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.
