  Either recable it (which might be difficult) or use ear guides. They reduce microphonics by a large margin. Tried this with some of my earphones which have bad microphonics and I like the result. Though make sure that S-018 can be wore over the ear. Most of the earphones are okay with it, unless they are strangely shaped.
 
Another solution is use of Clip, but that makes much smaller difference compared to other methods.
 
Example, my KZ EDSE with Havi B3 ear guide
 

Does anyone know where could those ear cable guides be bought alone?

  True. Outside of Head-Fi, people seem to think audiophiles are like that -- which they don't. Apparently a lot of you guys here are much more friendly than the people I meet in real life.
 
IMO the term "golden ears" is a better way to describe the elitist side of the audiophile hobby. Since audiophile literally means "music lover," I don't see why some people call themselves "music lovers" instead of audiophiles. It's pretty much the exact same thing.

An audiophile is a person enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction. Audiophile values may be applied at all stages of music reproduction: the initial audio recording, the production process, and the playback, which is usually in a home setting.

Eh, you'd know better than I would. And I guess it depends on how urgently you would want to get them/hear them. Or the buyer's perception of value.
If waiting for Massdrop to send them isn't worth your time and savings, then yeah I could see your sentiment.

I am curious what price they would go for on Massdrop either way...

Massdrop experience was quite a 'meh' for me. I mean, was looking for TTpod T1E, found two sites at the same price of their "dropped" price, and even the dropped price was worse with delivery fee to Europe.. Sooo.. Maybe at higher price ranges it can be good, ShureSe846 for 820$s for example, but they aren't so good at all.

 And guys here have a major issue with VERY slow delivery.
