I bought an E10, but returned it: any time i moved, there would be pops/crackles in the sound. I bought another one in hopes that the first unit was defective. This second unit is better, but when i wiggle the headphone cable near the plug (or rotate the headphone plug inside the jack), i still get some pops/crackles.
It's not nearly as bad as the first unit, but I find that I can't use the E10 on my lap or hanging off my laptop. Unless it's sitting stationary on a desk, if I move around, it creates noise from the jack. Both units were the second revision silkscreen models. I've read some reviews here saying they don't have this issue, but I bought my units from two different sellers, and neither is perfect.
Is this just a problem inherent with the E10? Should I try purchasing a third unit, or should I just give up on getting a perfect unit?
Unfortunately, it seems to be a common problem with the current batch of E10s(I had a similar issue with mine). In February, Fiio will releasing a new batch with updated gold plated headphone jacks that shouldn't have this problem.
