Earphones with minimal microphonics?

[mandude]

Hello all, new member here. I recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and love almost everything about them. Unfortunately the microphonics are rediculous. Any type of minimal activity causes it, and going for a jog? Forget it!

Anyway, I tried looping them over the ears, clipping to my shirt, etc but its either too uncomfortable or still causes an unnoticable microphonic sensation haha. I've considered buying running headphones but its not only when I'm running, so I'm thinking of returning them. The only question is, can you guys recommend me a pair of good quality headphones(under $100) with minimal microphonics? I don't want running headphones specifically bc I don't like over-ear clips, volume controls, headbands, etc.

Tl;Dr Please recommend a pair of headphones with as little microphonics as possible, thanks!

Or, can anyone just tell me about a pair of headphones they've used with almost no microphonics? Thanks!

Any of the Westones with the Braided Cable have about Zero Microphonics. Thats all I can help you with Good Luck

x2 for any earphones in the westone line.
 
also I just got brainwavz b2's which I really like and that have just as little microphonics as the westones.

Hmmm, both your suggestions seem to be slightly out of my price range...but it seems that any headphones/IEM with braided cables have very little microphonics, no? So, if anyone else is reading this, can you recommend headphones with braided cables other than the aformentioned ones? Thanks!

Meelec A151. No cable noise to speak of, really.
