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.

Since they are over ear and on the large side, they may move around with activities, like running on a treadmill. There are more portable options out there, like in-canal earbuds.

Whoa! I originally wrote that I could not hear any bass at all, but I found you have to insert them all the way into the ear to hear bass. And then you get the finger in your ear effect where you can also hear body sounds and when the wires move against your clothes. But I guess this is common throughout the earbud class of headphones.

I notice a bit, but it is not so audible as to be a problem. At least for me it isn't. But, as they say, your results may vary. I would guess it would relate to the buds you are using. I use a very good, but not great, set of Sennheisers.

It mutes when there is no pressure on the headband. I have had the headphones for a few months and never had a problem with the feature. I find it very useful especially in a live or studio environment.

I notice very little noise, if any when walking around. Microphonics is an issue though, under abnormal circumstances. Running or fumbling around for something in your pockets for instance. Personally, I've never been annoyed by or have noticed this particular issue under normal circumstances.

As previously stated, these do stay on without issues but I would not wear them while exercising. Not only would you not want to bump them (especially with a metal barbell or something similar) but your ears would get a little hot and the Beats are not sweat resistant. I recommend you look elsewhere if you want headphone a for exercising. Bose makes a few sweat resistant earbuds that I recommend, Sennheiser has a sweat resistant earbud, and even Beats make similar earbuds though they weren't comfortable for me and their sound quality was lacking.

That sound is the active noise canceling. All active noise canceling headphones have that sound. You probably won't hear it when you are playing music. If you still do and that is bothering you, you can use it with the noise canceling turned off.

I am a runner too. These headphones don't really work for me. I run with my ipod in my hand so it might be different for someone who uses an arm band. But I don't like the volume control. It is heavy and bounces around. I try to use the clips to prevent this...but the clips are in awkward places that dont really work. And sometimes my arm catches on the cord and the buds and clips go flying everywhere and I start swearing. Also if it a hot day and I get sweaty, there is no hope, the buds slip right out. I do however Really like the Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones. These do not have the volume control and clips... much more simple. The buds always stay in. I am a runner too.

Mine died in about 6 months of regular use at the gym. I suspect it's due to sweat. Here's their product site. Despite being called "Active2", it doesn't really mention anything about using it in a "active" lifestyle. Just generic bluetooth usability. http://www.brightechshop.com/products/item/2/active2tm-bluetooth-headset-headphones Another issue I had that lead to it dying was that it wouldn't hold a charge for more than a day. Even if I charged it and didn't use it for a day, it wouldn't turn on or only last a few minutes. I had to charge it day of use which was annoying. I've tried contacting them through their site to replace my pair and never got a response. If you're going to use it primarily for workouts/exercise, I'd recommend buying one specified for that activity. If you're still wondering, yes, they worked fine while new. Since they're just earbuds essentially, I did have some issues with it getting loose while running so now I prefer bluetooth headphones with some kind of canal or over the ear support for stability.

I have two devices that I use in alternation, one ear, then the other ear. I choose not to use both ear pieces at the same time due to the sound amplification beings "too loud". For me at least. But the devices work wonderfully well in amplifying high tone sounds and words, which is what I was lacking. Tom.

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...

Yes, I find when I'm walking with my phone in my hip pocket (either left or right pocket), the sound does cut out intermittently, especially when I turn my head. I don't experience this as much when my phone is in my hand. I don't experience any sound disruption at all when my phone is lying on my desk, even many feet away.

well, because is for relaxing, the music is low volume or with headphones but is from an outside device (TV or cell phone) no through the device itself. as per my understanding the sound from the device was not the best but I don't recall that the sound coming from the device change the pace of the wave effects... thanks for point it out I will check it out, but any how as it is the wave pace is perfect.

I do hear that noise occasionally, especially if I'm trying to play softly. However, I don't seem to hear it when I use the headphones. So far, it hasn't bothered me much, or else I'm getting used to it.

Sure, go ahead and take a bite of the apple, you surely won't die!Seriously, why take the chance. Go with the Skullcandy Ink'd instead. They sound nearly exactly like the more expensive V-Moda Base Freq.

I use earbuds however, I didn't like the fit so I use the ones that came with my iphone. I have an old set of Koss headphones and the pin type plug in works fine with it. I don't use them because they are bulky but I just tried them and the sound was fine. If the Sansa ever quits working and is charged. Reset it by holding the start button for a minute or so. It did that once to me and restarted ok.
