question for anyone who has used these: Does anyone know if these headphones have the in-ear "issue" where when the cord to the headphones rubs against your clothing and/or face, that it makes that annoying sound, kind of like it ampliphies the rubbing?

Clothing and face are fine, if they rub against zippers, however, IT'S HORRIBLE. But, since these are the best headphones I've ever found for the price, and I go out of my way to buy them and have them shipped to Canada, they're damn worth the occasional zipper freak out. They also will give you a tiny jolt if there is a static electricity build-up during dry winter days.

Dude, all headphone cables get twisted up like crazy. Bundling them after each use helps. I love these headphones. Researched the hell out of headphones before purchasing b/c my job entails me to virtually live in headphones. The long cord is a plus but, yeah, it gets tangled. If you don't need the length, try shortening it by overlapping and wrapping with a twisty.

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.

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

That's the only issue I have. I wish they had better bass. But it's not a deal breaker for me. I only use them at the gym and they are great for cancelling noise, even though I wear a hoodie and the headphones over my hoodie, they sound great and don't get hot. I listen to rap, hop hop, and rock mostly. And they sound great all across the board. I like them better then beats. And if it helps. They don't fall off my head they fit nice and snug.

Haven't experienced any problems with mine, maybe you've been unlucky with a faulty pair.I am currently waiting for a new pair I've bought.Cheers

I have been having a problem with mine. The sound keeps kind of cutting out and cutting back in. It goes to a lower volume with lower sound quality and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having this issue or is my headset defective?

Joanne: they stay in pretty well, but not completely. I seem to have more trouble with that than most though. The bigger problem is that there is a design flaw with the plastic part that attaches it to your ear, just below the ear bud. Both of mine broke almost immediately and I've had to splint them together with electrical tape. For that reason I probably wouldn't recommend these. Sound is good though for the price.

This pair of headphones are quite comfy. My only issue with them is that when I wear them for a long periods, my ears start to hurt, not because of the sound, but because they don't really sit well on my ears - that's probably because my ears are shaped kinda oddly, so its not really a fault of the headphones but of my genetics. Other than that, my brother has used these for 6 hours straight at one point and had no issue whatsoever. However, these headphones are open headphones so not only will the sound leak out (other people can hear it) if you put the volume too loud, but you will be able to hear other people as well. So if the airplane is gonna be noisy, you might as well not be wearing any headphones. This pair of headphones are quite comfy.

I did not find any external annoyance. I suppose in very noisy environments this could occur but I had no problem. Further I wear high end hearing aids (best thing for music I ever did) so the ear plug option would not have worked for me anyway. I love these little light head phones. I have a large Klipsch 10 speaker surround system and did not think the sound would compare. Does not Move the room :-) but still very nice!!

I used them, and I inserted them correctly (rolled them up into a tight cylinder then put them in my ear). In the morning, my ears hurt, even for a little while after I took the ear plugs out. I think I must have small ear canals -- when I buy headphones that have different-sized ear pieces, I always have to use the smallest ones. Anyway, I would say they are not comfortable for smaller ears.

No they will not, these headphones really are great in that aspect. The noise isolation is incredible. I have had multiple occasions where people have been trying to talk to me while I was using them, and I had no idea anyone was trying to talk to me. They told me they couldn't hear the music at all, but it was loud enough for me to not be able to tell anyone was talking to me.

Depends on the size of your ears. Personally, the bottom of my ears are "in" the cup of the headphone, but the top of my ears are "out" of the cup of the headphone. They feel very natural to me. I don't even notice where my ears are in relationship to the "cup" of the headphone.Also, I don't recall how many months (should be double digits by now) that I've been using these headphones, but they haven't lost any quality in that time period. I use them daily for 5-8 hours at a time and they have held up great! Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

Hit answer by mistake; they are good headphones; I would cation if used for extended use and confirm the return policy of the seller. Then wear them for the day see how they feel. Good luck in your search.

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....
