I'm considering getting an OEM ep630 off ebay, and I have some questions.
I hear that the y-corded version of the ep630 has pretty noticeable microphonics. How much better is it with the j-cord? Also, how well do these headphones fit wearing them shure-style?

Anyone know any retailers that sell the j-corded version of the ep630?

Microphonics are not an issue if the EP630's are worn Shure style. I lived with the microphonics for months before someone here pointed out the simple cure. I have the Creatives, not the OEMs, so they have the y-cord.

I have the Creatives also, and they are easily my worst phones. The wires are very thin compared to the Shure E2C which makes every movement (and even worse when you walk) feel like you're in the middle of an avalanche. I would seriously reconsider and go for something for a bit more money if you need an in-ear phone. The sound is none too good either, dark and muddy and extremely flat, I really don't understand why anyone here would recommend this phone. The only good thing about it is that it has very good separation. Worst purchase ever.

The reason that I was considering these over iems is I want something that I can pop in and out with reasonable ease.

so does anyone know if microphonics are improved with the j-cord over the y-cord?

Could you elaborate on this solution?
