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'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.

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.

It's a pretty common issue with noise cancelling headphones (I experience it when the noise cancelling is on with no music or anything). I'm assuming you notice the sensation of pressure? Happy to shed a little light on why that happens. If you go on an airplane or an elevator moving up/down pretty fast, you know how you get pressure in your ears and have to pop them? Well, when you get that pressure, it blocks your ears from hearing lower frequency sounds (sounds that your ears constantly hear, but you likely don't recognize it). Noise cancelling headphones block low frequency noise, so in your case and mine, it tricks the brain into thinking there is pressure on your ear (because you encounter the same hearing loss), even though there isn't. The pain is psychological, but that doesn't make it any less real, unfortunately. So the more simulated pressure you experience, but better the noise cancellation technology is! I would suggest switching to a solid pair of non-noise cancelling headphones such as the Bowers & Wilkins P5s or Sennheiser HD598. While they don't cancel noise like the Bose QC15s, they do a good job at noise isolation, and don't leave you with the pain. Hope this helps!

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'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.

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?

I ware mine behind my head and have never had problems with them moving. I have used them when doing yard work. Love these headphones well worth the money.

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 have the 6i's, which are a step lower than this, and I have the same issue. Actually, it's kind of an endearing quirk, the thump, and most especially chewing gum.For exercise in a gym that isn't too loud, I prefer on-ear headphones (I have a pair of $15 Sony's that work just fine), because the cord is shorter and there's no thump, but there's nothing like a pair of Etymotic Research headphones for sitting, blocking things out (libraries, airplanes, etc.), and working.

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.

These buds have several different sized ear pieces so that you theoretically can find the right size that wedges into your ear. That said, they will probably come out if you're running or if the line gets tugged. However, I only wore them to work out a couple of times. My impression is that they don't have as good of sound quality as the apple buds that came with my ipod. I eventually went with "on ear" headphones.

Is aware mode on all the time or can you cancel it like if are walking around a track.Does it work as well as on over the ear bose headphones I have the latest version bose over the ear headphones.

It's not advice able to buy is you use for physical fitness, one is because the designed is for regular movement like walk while waiting for someone, long trip ect. not for shack and shaking like running which create bumps. Sweat is another because foam earring absorbed moist or sweat it will destroy your gadget. Don't get me wrong this gadget is good for ordinary use only, trip or you want to listen music at night.

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...

Cristy Showers, I am unsure as to whether there are replacement buds. Did you not receive the extra 2 pair included with your original purchase? I have found that all the earbuds I have, no matter the brand, the earbud sleeves are interchangeable. I have had probably at lease 6-7 pair of all names & sizes. As long as the little speaker is near about the same size? You can use any kind. I am sure if you contact JVC they can give you more info. I never have them long enough to need replacement. I bought 3 pair of behind the head, over the ear, and ear cup styles now. I have tiny ears, and cannot stand buds anymore. If I were you, go up to a better pair of JVC that surround your ear, you will NOT believe how much better the sound is.

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.

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.
