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?

It goes off for about 30 seconds at a time. If it gets bumped or not continually sensing movement it resets itself. If its getting moved or constantly sensing movement it will continually sound off, and by the way it is LOUD!

Yes Alfalfa, I do find that. The closer you are in relation to the base, the better the sound. And yes, if someone moves in front of one, it interrupts the signal. They certainly do have their drawbacks. That being said, I have found that by hitting the Pairing button now and then to re-establish a good Pairing can help.

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;}

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.

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.

Yes, the two wires from the buds (as opposed to the mated wires) transmit any sound resulting from movement directly to the buds and your ears. I like the sounds of these but I find them not well suited for listening while moving e.g., exercising, walking. Not sure if there is a way to improve the isolation.

The sound is generated by the on-board computer. All you're doing is giving the signal a different alternative to get to your headphones or Stereo. The audio signal remains the same. BTW... instead of plugging this device directly into your unit, I suggest adding a USB extension cord. If you continually plug and unplug this device, you'll eventually tear the plug from the PC board inside.I actually taped my extension on permantly and it will give you longer headphone range with the extra chord length.

In a quiet environment I find the noise canceling adds some extraneous sounds. In my case I think the cable or connection is picking up noise internal to my tablet (Nexus 7) that corresponds to tablet activities, which is partially due to bad interference on the part of the tablet design but also could be helped by a less sensitive input on the headphones and a cable with better shielding. I put up with it because the sound quality is so good and they are very comfortable to wear.

It does make a bit of a sound as it counts the steps. I wear mine on my waist band and do not really hear the clicking very much at all---but my hearing isn't all that good. As long as it counts my steps accurately that is all I'm interested in.

I have with mixed results ... the speakers can move when it's not on your head but a small velcro patch on the speakers keeps them in 1 place when it's on your head. There's a narrow and wide part of the headband but the wire it always where the slit for the speakers is. That doesn't really bother me.

There are normal levels of vibrations transfer which I've found consistent in any "in ear" headphone. I don't hear anything excessive, especially when compared to any headphone with the noise cancelling rubber ear piece. Hope that helps

It doesnt effect mine at all, u know when u have no skin on it an u move it up an down it makes like a crack or a snap noise u may not hear that but it doesnt make a difference with the mobility but if u do have a problem u jus may need to adjust the skin on the controller jus by pushing down under the analog when the skin is on an u should have no problems...

I use these daily. I've never noticed an audible noise (or any rustling) when moving, grabbing, or handling the cable during a conversation. However, I did notice, upon closer inspection, that if one grabs or rubs the cable within a few inches of the headset, or taps, grabs, or bumps the headset itself, this can be heard. I attribute this noise as ambient due to its close proximity to the ears and not a fault of the headset or the headset's cable. Great product!

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.

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 ?

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
