In reply to NickBomb. My V-Moda Vibe II's work, and so do the Jaybird Tiger Eyes...but that's all I can attest to.

Oh, that's too bad, I was just thinking of getting myself a pair of these.
By the way, do anyone know of any headphones that fully support the 3GS remote control's all features? So far, I have only heard of this one, the included one and one made by Klipsch.

In reply to Rxmxsh. ditto. I don't think these claim to be noise cancelling, although they do provide a bit of isolation (I think that's the right term..). I just want the isolation for the deeper bass, really.

In reply to Nicholas H.. one tip I got from a friend was to invert the earbuds...so instead of letting them just hang from your ears, just drag them behind and right over your ears and essentially put them on upside down. All Shure earphones I know of fit like this and it gets rid of almost all the cable noise for me.

In reply to Rick. good call, and I do have some clips from old earphones lying around but I still find them a little annoying to pin to the top of my shirt.

It has more to do w/how they fit that "noise cancelling". I put the cheaper earphones that "cancel noise" as ear pluggers, not cancellers. The Bose QC3's are noise cancelling. Totally different concept that in ear ear phones. I also had these earphones and got rid of them for the reasons listed. Plus after a while, I had a hard time keeping them in my ear, after trying all sizes. They are nice, but not $80 nice.

I can totally relate to your complaint about the noisy cable. I came to your review because I was actually trying to see if these ear buds had that problem, after trying SkullCandy's Full Metal Jacket earbuds and having the same problem!

I wonder if it isn't a characteristic of all noise-isolating earbuds because of the way they conduct sound.

I had this problem recently with some new headphones I bought (Sennheiser CX300-IIs), but I had some old headphones which came with a clip that went would secure the wire to your clothing, e.g. shirt or jacket.

I moved this clip onto the new headphones and it completely stopped the wire vibrations, sounds like you could do the same with these headphones.
