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.

BW:I have found a way to fix this!! Try winding the cords over the top of your ears and then into your ear canal. In other words, approach your ear from behind, pulling the cord over the top of your ear, then pop the bud in. This as opposed to just putting them in and letting them hang down, where they transmit movement sound rught into your ear canal. This breaks the 'resonating' sections of the cord, and stops most of the noises from reaching the earpiece. Works pretty good.

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.

I have not experienced any issues when I go out walking or jogging, but that is the extent of my exercising. I do not do much weightlifting, although I wear these things all day long and haven't had issues with them falling off. During work I only hang one side since my headphone for work uses the other ear. :)

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.

Definitely not kidding. I had a slight problem with the J2's (the left earbud wasn't getting full range, weak on the low frequency) and emailed them. Within a day I got an email back answering my question and shortly thereafter (after trying to solve the problem myself) shipped a completely new pair. Which coincidentally work very well.Hope it goes as well for you!

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.

Believe it or not, I had to find a YouTube video for the fit. It goes over the top of your ears and the "headband" slides to the back of your head. They are absolutely comfortable and never hurts my ears. Because of my recommendation to a friend, they purchased TWO of these to use with their iPhones. The ease of going from music to phone and back to music is incredible -- even for one of my friends who is blind. He loves them! Hope my answer helped you!

I go for bike rides with these on and I can say that the cord jostling around does not interrupt the music UNLESS you've got the cord rubbing along the edge of an undone zipper. Then it makes a LOT of noise. Just zip up your jacket and you should be fine.

I'm not sure what that is, but it doesn't work well with my iphone. I am casually listening on my commute (bus) into work, and it'll work for a second, then it sounds like I'm in a tunnel, and I have to jiggle the connection to get it working again. the colors are cool, and they stay in my ears, but the sound is in and out.

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.

CX 685 has adapters that fit in the opening to your ear canal which creates kind of a seal. The MX is more of a ear bud that fits outside your ear canal. The CX has better noise isolation and the sound quality is better but if you run then the bounce in the cord can transmit back to earphones and can become annoying. The sound quality of the MX is very good. I run and use these because I do not like the bouncing noise of the cord. It does take a little getting use to the finger that fits in the nook of your ear fold and it holds much better compared to an ear bud. After sampling several different brands, these are my favorite for running. If I didn't run or bounce around while exercising I'd use the CX.

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...

that depends on how fast you set it. Generally speaking, no it will not disturb others. I walk at 1.9 mph (that's the speed at which I can still type effectively) and on phone calls where I cannot mute the phone, I go up to 2.5 mph - above that it does interfere with the phone call. I also have two 4" fans on my desk - in the warmer months they help! The "Holmes" 4" metal fan is very quiet. It is a wall plug in. I also have a USB 4" fan, but it's nosier. The other thing I did (for me) was to purchase Outdoor Tech Orca Bluetooth wireless earbuds. I listen to my Amazon Music player via iPad and it gives me great flexibility. Been using it for a year and would never NOT use one. that depends on how fast you set it. Generally speaking, no it will not disturb others.

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

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.

Yes. there is a volume control on the cable and also a stop start track button. There is no skip track option though. They are great ear buds the only downside is they don't stay in the ear very well. I ended up buying some foam tips as the rubber ones fell out all the time just when walking.
