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.

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 thought they were noise-cancelling: they are not, and weren't very useful walking on the track at my gym, with noisy basketball going on in the gym below. Worse, while I was walking with these headphones on, my iPod kept stopping. I've just tested them at home, and the headphones work fine as long as I'm sitting in one place---but as soon as I move around they turn off my iPod. I'm returning them. The one plus: shipped directly from China, someone had put an exquisite little wooden sculpture of a bird in the package. I"ll keep that.

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.

I use them when I go for walks at the park and they are perfect, but, I believe that depending on what type of activity you are doing at the gym. I believe that they would not work very well in a activity where your head is moving all the time, the headphone would tend move.

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.

Not if you play at reasonable levels. If you are using these earbuds at max volume on whatever device you are using these with, it will obviously damage your eardrums. If you listen at a decent volume, one that you can ear, but one that won't kill you, then no. My test is this. i pause my music, and set the level at which i want to listen to. if it hurts me, or my instinct is to turn it off the second i turn it on, i lower the volume. Cheers mate!

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.

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.

I use mine for running and they cutout all the time. It's annoying when listening to music and downright frustrating when listening to podcasts. They also can be too quiet when listening to podcasts, even with the volume all the way up. I want to like these but can't for the aforementioned reasons.

The cord does not transmit sound from bumps or rubs on clothing. If you start out by straightening the cord out before you start listening, it usually does not bunch. I do recommend handling it with care.

Whoa! I originally wrote that I could not hear any bass at all, but I found you have to insert them all the way into the ear to hear bass. And then you get the finger in your ear effect where you can also hear body sounds and when the wires move against your clothes. But I guess this is common throughout the earbud class of headphones.

I couldn't see there was any difference, or markings so I would say no- use in either ear. There is an off switch on one line - it will depend which ear bud you use where so put it where you want it I guess. I seldom use it. Also these are not really smaller than regular earbuds. They're OK but I probably wouldn't buy them again.

I assume by "microphonic" you mean they transmit noise up the cable to the headphones when the cable touches something. The cables are thin and relatively stiff. I just confirmed that if you tap on the cable, it will transmit the noise into the headphones (done with no music). I don't move around much when listening with headphones, so I haven't noticed it as an issue. My biggest concern is inadvertently inducing a crimp in the cable (because they are stiff, much more so than the cables for my Grado SR125s).

Yes. I had that problem. I think it's because of charge induced in the cable from static electricity or could be from bending of the cable. I love the sound, best pair I have owned..had to return them because control button induced noise and commanded iPhone to go to next song. They need to adopt Bose cable system. Bose does not have isolalation which is a problem in noisy environments like a gym; but Bose provides true surround sound with with their speaker on the outside of your ear.

No, they are what is called "noise isolating" which means they are similar to wearing ear plugs. So when the music's playing that's all you hear and if you wear them while not listening to music, outside sounds will be slightly to moderately muffled, depending on how well they fit into one's ear canal. PS: ear canal to bud fit is key to achieve proper bass and overall performance from these type of earbuds.

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.
