I have a TP-Link TD-W8980 (2.4GHz + 5GHz) and I didn't notice any audible noise with the E12 placed right on the unit.

Also no noise with older routers (Netgear DGN2000 and D-Link DSL G624T).

I'm getting terrible noise through my DT770 Pros connected to my HTC One with the amp placed right on top of the phone, which it has to be using the short cable supplied (the F8 cable).

 

Originally I thought my longer 3.5mm to 3.5mm right angle cable might be to blame, it's longer so i can freely rotate the phone to watch videos etc, but after less than a day's use I can see it's still the case.

 

I'm getting like the "GSM noise" you get when putting a 2G phone near amps/speakers that aren't shielded.

 

So i'm hoping a cable like this can help:

I don't get this noise when the DT770s are plugged into the phone "naked" and it used to be very rare with my E11.

 

If the new OFC cable doesn't work, the only solution appears to be a 3 to 5 metre cable, and keep the two devices in seperate pockets.

 

I'm not sure i'm desperate enough to pay the price this ebay seller wants however, LOL:

*ahem* or this one:

I have E12 v2 and the amp has to be on top of the smartphone to get this effect. By moving it 3-4 cm away you can overcome the issue but that's impossible if all the gear is in one pocket.

 

The answer is to have the amp in a seperate pocket - the more i read about this problem the more I think that's the solution.

 

I've just ordered a 3 metre 3.5mm cable with one end having a right angle plug (to go into my phone) so that should fix the problem. I'm hoping to have it by Friday and will report back here when i do.

(seperate to the OFC links i posted above, and it only cost me $5 Australian - i'm still keen to get the OFC cable though as it's thicker and will be of nicer quailty)
