Never used them, but they're just basic sized canalphones, so they should fit just find. They'll be comfortable as you don't have to worry about a wire going over your ear or any type of tri-flange that goes deep in your ear.

im pretty sure the ck7 actually is meant to go over the ear, which is preferred

They look like the could be worn over the ears, bu IMO, looks like a regular down-hanging canalphone.

use ER4 with the shirt clip, the microphonic can be reduced dramatically.
(well, it you use it right..)

I think the "thump" you are referring to Peter is when a large piece of the cable suddenly hits your coat or something like that. Try and run the cable under your t-shirt up to your neck and then around the ear. You could also try a clip on the cable. If it isn't that it is probably bone conducted noise. There is no way to get around that.

It's most likely the bone conducted noise. Doh!

The further the IEM go in your ears the more microphonics.

 

[shigzeo]

and the more bone thumping goes on. speaking of which, i tried some bone conducting phones. i could not hear anything unless i had earplugs in or already was wearing some iems. very very strange to have music come from nowhere whilst listening to music in a noisy store.

points for interesting experience.
minus for the strange sound - the headphone was from a cheap company who i could trust about as much as my ability to hit a baseball from any pitcher.

 

[audiomagnate]

That thumping when you walk thing goes away with time. I don't even hear anymore now. Another vote for Westones being the least microphonic.

 

[GhostWing]

To reduce microphonics, you should use such IEMs which use Tri-flange or Custom made earmolds that can reach the second bent in the ear canal.

All will be useless when you are eating or stepping.

I thought that is for reducing occulsion effect, not for microphonics?

BTW: The thump could also be the weight of the cable acting as a spring where it changes direction when you change the direction of your movement, but I guess that is not the case if you tried running the cable through your shirt

Too bad I guess that means it is hard for you to enjoy IEMs...

Unanimous for Westones, it seems. Do the Westones offer adequate isolation from surrounding noise, or is the low cable noise due to low sealing efficiency?

How has no one mentioned the ety8 yet?

I'm pretty sure it's just due to an excellent cable. Both the Westones I've owned sealed excellently. As much as my ER-4Ps do.

If I run the cord from my pockect, up my back, and clip the clip near my collar, I am microphonic free with my ER-4P/S
