kenshinz 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 The noise u hear are microphonics. It is common with all in-ear earphones, thot some designs are designed to minimize it. A harder tip will not prevent it. There should be 3 sizes for the tips included in the package, try to find one that fits. Don't expect instant fit, as your ear will take some time to get used to it. Again, a harder tip might not be better (that's my opnion) as it may not conform better to your ear. HJE50 uses the same tip as Sony Nudes, can try asking Sony outlets, but last time I checked it was not worth as it cost around $20 for each pair of mid-sized ones.

red_ryder 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 The microphonics are due to the type of cable being used. The sound is caused by the cable rubbing against your body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
