I have to recommend getting a dedicated DAP. I have an HTC Thunderbolt and the EMI interference on the BH is pretty bad, even when using IPod classic and LOD. I can't imagine how bad it would be with a phone piggy-backed with BH.

I get no interference with my iPod video and LOD.  A dedicated DAP may be the answer.

Apart from airplane mode the next best thing is putting the phone in wcdma only as I find the other modes to be noisier.Try that and tell us how it goes.

Thanks for the replies folks.
 
I guess a dedicated DAP is in order.
 
Like I mentioned, I never noticed a crackling in the other portable amps I've tried.  I'm used to EMI (buzzing noise) but this crackling is just strange to me.
 
I can live with the buzzing sound because that's a given with EMI.  But this crackling sound has me wondering if my BH is defective or not.  It seems to be predominantly in the right ear.

You may have already answered this already, but do you have other headphones of any kind to try? If so, and you still get the same interference then it may be the BH. By the way, when in airplane mode does the crackling go away?

Just to say guys, BH has awesome synergy with the SoundMAGIC E10. I dare you all to try it.

I tried other headphones and the same thing.

But in airplane mode there is no crackling sound. Its silent.

Outside of the BH's right channel being more prone to picking up EMI, I'd say it was defective.

Helmet, i do not understand what phone is this but it well can be phone out problem, perhaps trying another phone can help detect if culprit is BH.

He has tried other headphones and I believe it's headphone out 1, which tends to be the problematic phone out, amongst all the complaints people have had about the BH.

By the way Gintaras the Triple -Fi's are on their way.

  If i really end up digging them I'm going to have moulds made for them.

Yup, that is your culprit. I would definitely get a DAP and that will free up your phone and you will no longer have the crackling sound. Just don't put the phone next to the BH. : )

If I don't like them I'm coming to Austria to find you.

Has anybody tried replacing the jacks on the unit? Their looseness is finally getting to me.

Not that I'm aware of, though I know it is an issue for many. It's going to take a brave soul to do it first.
