putting it under the shirt is a bit too much of a pain in the ***** for me.

and it also doesn't prevent microphonics caused by the wind.
actually, nothing prevents it except putting the ety's around your ears.
of coarse i'm talking about the previous cord version.

I have to totally agree with you. Wind is an issue. and only putting 'em around your ears helps.

 

[AdamZuf]

cynicism?

 

[meistyle]

No ! Sorry if you got that impression. I am pretty comfy with the t-shirt workaround. But as you say, wind is indeed an issue. I just didn't think far enough. (I know, "think before you speak").

What bothered me more is the comfort issue as blessingx has pointed out. And, of course, that I wasn't 250$$ amazed when I first heard them. I wasn't stunned or anything. I bought my Etys solely because they got such high praise at this place (and headwize).

Now I would never ever give them away anymore. I learned that listening takes time and dedication.

I am more of a forum reader than a poster. I guess I am not familiar with the "postiquette."
I am annoyed with useless or redundant posts and don't want to fall into this category.

ok, all is clear

well i admit i tend to be a bit paranoid sometimes.. non of your fault, friend.
enjoy your ety's!

While the 4P is sometimes uncomfortable to me, I have noticed no significant microphonics problem with the braided cord.

will bring it up once more here as I have found arelatively easy fix where the cables are not unnecessarily strained or pulled.
WHat you have to do is insert the ety's in normally.
Now run the cables behind the ears and bring both to the front near the throat. essentially what you have to do is use one of the zip ties/strip locks/zip locks, to join the 2 cables so that there is just enough gap to move it up and down.
THis way once you have inserted the ety's in follow the cable looping procedure and then just bring the tie lock up so that it sits under the neck, no movement, no microphonics no **** like that.
My trips in the bus are getting better and better. I can't even feel the vibrations throught the wires now.
Pretty easy to do and works easily.

No problems mate, that's why we are here.
I have found this an ideal and would recommend without hesitation to anyone.
the best part is they don't stick out looking ugly or odd and attract more attention with people actually wanting to know what they are.
have fun and death to microphonics

Otherwise really nice phones.

I got a cable replacement a few weeks ago and it's quite a bit less microphonic than the old cable I used to have. Big improvement and I've had mine for over 2 years.
