Can the behind-the-head band be removed from the earphones? I use separated phones in a sweat band and find that very

You can pop off the ear pieces yes. I don't think that is a design feature. The band swivels so there is no behind the head band.

To isolate if it is the phones, try them in a different device and with different audio sources. Also make sure it is properly seated in the headphone port. Cases sometimes prevent full insertion.

i found the same,it is considered normal practice to 'Beak in" the phones.I hope you're using a headphone amp. (i recommend the Schiit Magni) The things really blossom then.

Yes, the noisemaker part can come out entirely. The hook and loop strap at the back of the head can be trimmed off, if not needed.

Hi Raine, Since this headset has the 'loop' connecting them, there's a little inward tension. I've sometimes had that problem with earbuds, but they have been just 'buds'--separate from each other. These never fell out of my ears.

Yes, it can be removed from the headphones. It can also be used as an AUX cord for any other source.

Though never tried to completely remove the cushion, it appears to be removable. I just tried and was able to separate the leather cushion though it might be difficult to replace. I would not believe that there is any user "removable ability" to the outside plastic casing. Hope this answers your question. One fine set of headphones which seems to deliver on all counts and bits. Regards, Short term listener.

Lily, I just jam them on, having of course removed the stock standard black buds that came with my Shure 825 earphones. I have experimented with the black buds and they are terrible compared with the flange ones, which you can screw much further into your canals, where they need to be for the earphones to work properly. But I am having a big problem with these splitting where I jam them on the earphone -- over time. I hope this helps.

What I do is actually superglue the buds to the earphone. Before swimming, I moisten the outside of the buds with water before putting them in. The secret is to rapidly jiggle the buds in. That creates the watertight seal. Since I started doing that I haven't had much trouble. It is tricky to get the knack of it. You have to secure the buds to the earphones though, otherwise you will find they pop off and are tricky and scary to retrieve!

I have not had that problem, and I tend to sweat quite a bit (literally dripping after a couple of runs while visiting FL last month). The band's material is pretty substantial, so I don't think moisture can get through it from behind your phone. Sweat could potentially come through the opening at the top, but I still think it's unlikely.

I do not know the answer to these two questions and have often wondered myself why the bands are there. Fortunately mine have never broken and I have just left them alone. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Not really. You can shorten the over-the-head band to reduce the size, but that's about it. If they were smaller, they would probably not be so effective in reducing noise. Their bulk is their strong point - they really reduce noise. I bought mine after asking others what they liked and had they tried others. I'm happy with mine.

No there is no way to control each ear separately. Volume that is controlled is same in both ears. I think its worth a try I think its just great. I am still using it daily.hope I helped

The ear piece can be removed. There is a fine slit that the wire can be pulled out of. I did not try to bend mine but I don't think you can. I have small ears so I found a head band worked best to hold the ear plugs in while swimming.

Grab it close to where it connects to the headphones and pull. Should come right out, without breaking. I had to remove the band from mine because I couldn't get a good fit with it installed.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product). The audio quality is outstanding (better than the stupid Beats from Dr. Dre for sure..). What I did was to order a replacement (because it should be covered under warranty) and I was simply more careful: what actually breaks the plastic is grabbing the headphones from the ear pads when you take them off and on (despite that being the natural way of doing it) so every time I put them on and off I just expand them from the over head band, without putting strain on the thin plastic connectors that actually break. I hope this is useful. Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product).

Yes you can. Great sturdy headphones in fact. The only problem I am experiencing is that my ears get sweaty and have to take the headphones out wipe the ears and put them back in from time to time. I guess this is beacause they sit in the ears very tightly. Kind regards,Rafal
