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.

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 honestly have no idea. We have been using this however at various live shows all over the place in all different types of venues for the last few months and we have had no issues with interference so far. We use it just to send a click track to everyone's earbuds. I am sure with nicer headphones or in ear monitors it will sound good though for other things pumped through it because i have played around with it on my own time and i have nice ear buds and it sounds good. Hope that helps somewhat. =)

Hi! I was wondering about that too, however, once I put the case on, there is not interruption of the sound quality once the case it on. I don't know how they do it, but it works!

I believe in my personal experience is to provide better quality of sound. My EarPods are great and working wonderfully, the pointing at you is the main speaker that feeds you most of the music. Try it out, I was spekitcal and switching too, but I tried it and now I probably wouldn't go back because the pervious ones I had would always hank on my ears when trying to pull them now quickly and these just flow out. You know what I mean. I hope this was helpful and enjoy if you do decide to change EarPods.

Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower. I cannot give an honest answer as I am usually sitting behind my PC while using these ear buds. Still,they have lasted longer than any other set I've owned (considering my cats and my jumbled work area).The quality sound and durable cords are the best thing I can tell you for sure. Hopefully another user will be able to help you with the "work out" question. I have no problem with them falling out but then again, I am not chopping wood or jogging with them in. Wish I could be more help~Cheers! Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower.

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.

First, I am not a person who works out, and I can only imagine you are referring to being in the gym, running etc.so that it quite a bit of movement. I do use these daily, in fact I often go to bed wearing them, listening to music, for sleep and relaxation programs. I turn often in my sleep and am forever moving my pillow. These pretty much stay in with this kind of close contact and are consistent over time. I would consider that also a function of how good the ear bud cushions fit your ear. Mine have worked out well. I still find the chord is great since it does not tangle into the usual nightmare ball that other ear bud do. That of course, may be a plus or minus for you, because I don't know where your chord will be during any potions of your workout. I do use these while in my workshop, while cooking etc. often by throwing the long length of chord over my head so it lays on my back and stays out of my way. Hope this helps.

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 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.

CX 685 has adapters that fit in the opening to your ear canal which creates kind of a seal. The MX is more of a ear bud that fits outside your ear canal. The CX has better noise isolation and the sound quality is better but if you run then the bounce in the cord can transmit back to earphones and can become annoying. The sound quality of the MX is very good. I run and use these because I do not like the bouncing noise of the cord. It does take a little getting use to the finger that fits in the nook of your ear fold and it holds much better compared to an ear bud. After sampling several different brands, these are my favorite for running. If I didn't run or bounce around while exercising I'd use the CX.

I disagree. The lack of bass comes not from the E2C, but from using the rubber-type mounts. Use the foam instead, and practice making sure the foam portion is ENTIERLY INSIDE the ear canal. The bass goes from nothing to stunning.Yes, it takes movement to move the air for low bass notes. Fortunately, a bud sealed inside the ear canal can do this easily, since there isn't a lot of air to move.Try these things with the foam and practice inserting them. I almost sent mine back until about the 5th try, when the foam popped into position. Now I can insert them properly every time. It's a learned procedure, like riding a bicycle. I disagree.

there is some cable noise in all my earbuds, and yes I find it annoying. I notice it mostly during phone conversations. Music playback is excellent.

Since they are over ear and on the large side, they may move around with activities, like running on a treadmill. There are more portable options out there, like in-canal earbuds.

I play most of my music on the high side (partially deaf) but never experienced any vibration. Did you try adjusting how you wear them? I noticed more bass when I love them a little lower. Good luck. I really like mine great for walking and biking so I can still hear traffic etc. I think if you somehow got a bummer pair the company will replace or reimburse.

Definitely not kidding. I had a slight problem with the J2's (the left earbud wasn't getting full range, weak on the low frequency) and emailed them. Within a day I got an email back answering my question and shortly thereafter (after trying to solve the problem myself) shipped a completely new pair. Which coincidentally work very well.Hope it goes as well for you!

I'm not sure of why you would want to sleep with these on?.... but I can say they are great for the gym if you running on the treadmill or any other high pace exericise or movement. before I started using these, I was using the (white in color) ones that come with the phone. I notice two, things I didn't like.... first, when the cord moves when you are exericising, I can hear the movement..... second, the bud ear piece was not sound proof and you can hear things around you (people talking, exerice machines, etc.) and the bud piece hurts my ear... so I got the JVC Sport Clip and they are much better... !!! jmo.....
