Microphonics? Not bad either, but I never used them much outside the house. SQ-wise, the Phonaks clearly are superior (cost 3x as much too).

Hmm, I can´t seem to find any decent dealer for the Phonaks inside EU. Does anyone here know a good dealer?

There are several links inside the Phonak threads. Do a little searching.

So how much cable noise comes with the Phonak PFE (with mic)? I´m not actually asking for a lot. The requirements I want are: -Stays nicely and comfortably in the ears -Good sound (doesn´t have to be even amazing, if the phones are otherwise comfortably superb and has a "Mic Play/Pause button") -"Mic Play/Pause/Answer call button" for iPhone 3G And of course the cable noise is unacceptable! So I´m wary of the closed headphones.

The Phonak PFE is what you want. They isolate but nowhere close to the Etymotics. They have 0 microphonics from the cable. You will get much less foot noise from the Phonak then many IEMs. I have a few that insert deeper and the Phonak is better in that regard than those.


Given your criteria the PFE is the best option IMO.
