Hi All,
Just bought the RE2s and the sound quality is brilliant! This is my first set of headphones that i've owned which weren't just bundled with a music player or something, so I apologise if im asking basic questions.
My only complaint at the moment is that i am able to hear every little touch on the cord through my headphones quite loudly. I'm not using them at very high volumes and im sure if i was the music would drown them out, but ive gone as loud as my ears can stand and I'm still hearing the interference. It seems to be so sensitive that even if i turn my head a bit i can hear quite loudly the cord scraping against my shirt or neck.
Having not used in-ear headphones before i figure that I might not be getting the right seal or using them properly in some other way. However from what I've read im very sure the seal is fine; ive heard the tinny sound of a bad seal and im definitely not getting that, and as mentioned previously the sound quality has been brilliant. Is there such thing as getting too good a seal or a seal that is too sensitive?
Or does the solution lie in something like getting extra insulation to go around the cord? Or does the cord need time to wear in and get softer/resistant to interference or something?
Due to the nature of the problem it certainly doesn't feel like a defect or anything, if anyone can give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
