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?

Ambient noise is always present. If you are walking along a busy sidewalk in a city you obviously can't concentrate on music. In an office environment most ambient noise is barely noticeable. These don't bleed sound at 50% volume which is already too loud for me. At 75% volume there is some sound bleed.

No. After it goes around, the sound changes slightly. It keeps on going, though.

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.

Yes, this model suffers from severe "Stethoscope Effect" - very much noticeable whenever connected to your device and you're not playing any music - slightly noticeable while playing music.However the noise is very disturbing (even with your music on) when the cables move near your face or neck.The earphone comes with an adjustable 'cheap' tie that holds the right and left cables together but remember that you cannot move it beyond the microphone to make a tight fit of the cables under your chin to prevent dangling.

the sound comes from your computer not the ewi... so yes if you plug in the head phones it cuts off the sound to the speakers...and since there are no moving parts, there is no clicking sounds from touching the keys... it is an instrument all by its self and requires you to practice the difference from changing octives, once mastered there is no end what you can do with the ewi... have fun

it goes through walls for me. I live in a dorm right now and whenever I'm at my friend's next door, I would have to disconnect so we can hear from my computer speakers again. It also overrides headphone and hdmi aux.

Not really. It depends if I am listening to podcasts I can sometimes hear it if it is on the ground but I'll move it around and it will go away. With music no.

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

I noticed the thumping sound soon after I got mine and realized it was the cable bumping around. I decided to run the cable through my shirt and the thumping when away.

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!

well, because is for relaxing, the music is low volume or with headphones but is from an outside device (TV or cell phone) no through the device itself. as per my understanding the sound from the device was not the best but I don't recall that the sound coming from the device change the pace of the wave effects... thanks for point it out I will check it out, but any how as it is the wave pace is perfect.

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 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.

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.

I assume this is a joke! The cable does a very good job of eliminating static/feedback or whatever electronic noise comes through when playing your phone or device through the car radio. I readily recommend it. You will have to speak to your car dealer about road noise.

It mutes when there is no pressure on the headband. I have had the headphones for a few months and never had a problem with the feature. I find it very useful especially in a live or studio environment.
