<quote>When I tried them the thicker cord was pretty microphonic. Almost as bad as the cord on my ER-4s.</quote>
Not totally sure what this means, but if it refers to the noise you get when the chord jiggles around I found a relatively easy way to neutralize it I use an aligator clip to attach the cord to my collar to keep the headphones from pulling at my ears and to keep the chord going down my back towards my pocket rather than dangling in front of me (the clip clamps on my clothes not on the chord). The benefits are twofold: 1) while walking the chord doesn't get caught up in subway turnstiles, doorstops and the like. 2) You don't get that weird noise from the headphone swishing around since it's completely controlled for few inches from your ear to your collar. (Of course if microphonic means something else I'm babbling pointlessly here.) PS One hundred dollars a year on headphones wouldn't have worked for me either. As a one time purchase to last a few years a hundred dollars is reasonable for me. Once you start talking annual purchase it's time to start rethinking priorities especially considering how much I've already invested in squeezeboxes, ipods, hard drives, etc. -- mrchrispy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrchrispy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32191 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
