How's the microphonics on these earphones? How audible are the sound of the wires moving/hitting your body when you walk/run?

Microphone seems fine, I haven't had an issue with them. The wires are a bit thicker than iPhone wires, sturdier. They don't really bother me or are audible while I walk. I have run with these, as I prefer a much lighter earbuds for running. But otherwise these are probably my favorite I have owned to date.

They sound great. Good rendering across the range. There is a little bit of cable thumping.IMO the best part is the quality of the sound with the excellent fit in the ear. Great for workout, although noise isolation might not be safe for certain sports activities.

They are indeed good headphones for listening and travelling, but I would not recommend them for running.

Yup, unfortunately any kind of sound isolating mechanism will create this thump. Even the $550 E500's. There's no way around it. I sometimes where just regular ol' ear plugs, and even with those my footsteps also generate the same thump.All I can tell you is that these earphones are probably more for sitting and enjoying, like on an airplane, or at work. Not so much for walking or running.

I have an Android, but I don't know why not. While I still really love these I do want to warn of a little soreness around the ear on my long (for me) +8 mile runs.

Yes, they are very comfortable for running, and there is very little risk of it slipping off of your ears. The best part is...there is a lifetime warranty from sweat!

Sound quality is pretty good, you won't get the deep bass like other but still really good for the active person. I manage a warehouse so always moving I don't even notice them any more. As far as sturdy, well they are inexpensive for a reason. I had an ear bud pop off from my first pair the second day I wore them. Bought a second pair for my wife, earbud popped off while taking it out the package. But it pops back in and still going strong. Their decent inexpensive and can withstand a lot of activity. Showed them to a couple coworkers they have also ordered some too. Bottom line they are a good purchase.

I would advice not to work out with it as you could hear the sounds of wires rubbing,futhermore I believe the materials aint made for working out. the earphones would b a very good companion for listening to music while travelling in vehicles or simply chilling.

Hello. I actually would not recommend these headphones at all. They were a gift to my 30 y/o son. He treated them very gently, but one of the wires came loose and he got static on that side. He returned them but it took many contacts with the seller, and many promises of a refund, before they finally came through. I read several reviews that don't recommend these at all. Good luck

No. You'd probably want IEMs for jogging. Headphone looks weird not to mention these are quite uncomfortable/hot to wear.

For running they are great but for the gym they can get in the way. I use my earbuds at the gym.

They are excellent for running. They do not move at all. But if you lift weights on a bench the behind the head style may not work. Oh yes they sound excellent.

Using the conform tips they work for running. The housing sits nicely in your ear which helps with any movement. They are very light. Sound awesome too.

I haven't worn them for running but with the foam tips they really stay put. You can also wear them over your ears for a more secure fit. That being said these are not specifically designed for exercising so I don't know how they handle sweat. They sound fantastic though so I'd say it's worth a try.

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

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 wouldn't recommend this for running. Though the earphones itself create a good seal on your canals, the breaks from the cords to the earphones itself might allow water to seep in. Although if you think about it, these are used as monitors, so hypothetically, they CAN be used for running.
