The microphonic noise from the Etys is generally fairly low frequency - it doesn't really affect the clarity of the music, it's just occasionally annoying. I jog with mine all the time.
The included clip helps microphonics a bit, but not nearly enough. I suspect what I'll need to do to completely eliminate the microphonics is to mod the cable with foam to wrap around the ear, just like some earbuds are mounted - this wouldn't be the same as the noted Radio Shack mod, wouldn't it?
FYI.. my Etys work much, much better than Sennheiser MX400s for working out, but not for the reasons you'd expect. For the life of me, I haven't figured out how to make the MX400s stay on my ears for longer than 5 minutes. Obviously with the Etys I don't have that problem, although sometimes I'll have issues with sweat entering the earplug-ear interface and loosening up the seal considerably.
