Any opinion about cord noise? My experience tells me that this kind of flat cord usually have more cord noise.

No cord noise.my experience with them has been great. They seem to be pretty sturdy . My only issue is the end where the bud connect to the cord split.

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

It does sound a little bit, however, I believe it depends on how keen your sense of hearing is. No one at my house seems to notice but me. Overall, these little guys rock and are a great purchase.

I haven't noticed any added noise particularly increased over other cords and models.

from what i compared with my current galaxy s4 headphones and this one i believe that this has better quality and less noise,Always my opinion.

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

Mine has a slight hum. Some kind of ground loop, I guess. I'm using a 3-pin to 2-pin adaptor on the power cord--the hum is much worse without it. I've tried both the balanced and phone plug inputs (with RCA adaptors)... no difference. I haven't tried breaking the ground on one of the input cables yet.

I always install them in an electronics closet so I didn't pay attention to a noise. However, I am actually going to install one today in about 4-5 hours. send me a follow up question and I will let you know if the one I installed has noise or not.

Not exactly sure where the noise would be coming from. I've had mine for around 2 years and have had no problems. I know a lot about computers. I would check your modem. It may be going bad, and that's what is causing the noise.

Personally I would chose something of a much higher quality. If ur wanting really gr8 sound this is not ur pick. This is ok in a pinch for short periods of time. The Bose Quiet Comfort 15 are expensive high quality headphones, u'd be very unhappy w/ this particular extension. Static & white noise are very apparent when using this cord. I would never use this to listen to music or for extended periods. It works for me to watch TV (just for short periods) & not wake my sleeping Granddaughter when she spends the night (occasionally) but that's it!! ****REVIEW UPDATE: I had originally given a 3 star review for the reason mentioned above. Well, let me tell u how gr8 this company is on customer service!!! I didn't even contact the company about this item, they read the review & contacted me! When I got the 1st email, I actually thought it was some kind of scam so never responded. Then when I got the 2nd email, I did respond. They said they would be more than happy to send me another cord, free of charge b/c they wanted me to be happy w/ the product. I agreed (still somewhat skeptical) but as the women (Alice) from Amamax stated, my new cord arrived promptly & free of charge!! And, I'm thrilled to report that the new cord is functioning perfectly. No static or feedback at all, just good crystal clear sound! Obviously, the previous cord was faulty. So refreshing to have a company actually contact ME b/c I had a problem, instead of the other way around. I never heard of such a thing. Wish I was able to give them 10 stars instead of 5!!! Buy this cord, I think you'll be more than happy!!! If you're not I'm sure this company will work w/u! They want their customers satisfied w/ the product!

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 also experienced the hissing/white noise sound with my CX300-B earbuds. Because of this noise, I felt I had to turn the volume up louder than I wanted.Also, when moving the cord, it sent noise into the earbuds.I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 555 earphones that I have been amazed with. The sound quality is unbelievable. Perhaps the bar was set too high, and I expected the same quality from the CX300, but it didn't happen.I have since returned them to Amazon, and am now searching for something better.

After hours of use, I have not had a noise problem. Make sure you are using shielded cables all the time and check loose connections.

Mine hums a little, but to hear it you have to be really close to the unit and have the sound volume low. Basically, it is transformer hum and because the transformers are toroidal, it does not find its way into the actual audio output, so I don't worry about it at all.

This has not happened when I used mine. Most of my use has been with TV. Good luck in finding a solution to yours. Extraneous noises are very distracting.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

Yeah, it's an issue with the speakers when devices are connected. Chances are it makes the noise with any attached device, but some devices are more apparent than others. The best solution is attaching some speakers. Even computer speakers via the USB/headphone jack solved it for me, and it's actually better quality sound.

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.

I purchased an XBR4 46" the last week of December. It had a fan noise or hum right out of the box. I have it on a table, so there are no enclosure issues here. I also have it plugged into its own outlet and not a power strip with other devices. The noise is very irritating especially since I know other people that own the XBR sets and they are dead silent. I returned to Amazon. It was painless. My new set was just delivered this past week and it is every bit a noisy as my first one. I love the picture but hate the noise. I also don't think the noise is normal or acceptable. I will contact Amazon this week to see what they are willing to do. I purchased an XBR4 46" the last week of December.

I've read that different cords change sound quality with headphones so that could very well be the issue. If you have any other cords maybe from a diff shure model you could try those out and check the difference between the two. There are cords you can buy for high end earphones upwards to $200

A hum that you can hear is normal. If it is loud, something is wrong. If it is noisy without a load connected, I would replace it. Are you sure you have not overloaded it?
