Off-topic / Skullcandy Ink D users, NEED HELP!
Huge microphonics

Date: Sun, Jun 20 2010 04:11:15
For thoese who don't know what microphonics is, for more in-ear earbuds, when your wire/cable rubs against your shirt/body, it creates a huge noise. I listen most of the time in the bus where the ride is bumpy, and every 5 seconds i hear "thump thump thump". It's so damn loud and annoying! Does anyone else have skullcandy ink d and this problem? I'm thinking of returning and getting another pair, but if it's the same for all, then no point trying. I tried over the ear and it's so uncomfortable and always comes back down. Help needed, Thanks!

'tis why you don't get the cheap skullcandies
IMO, the only good ones are the titans and the 50/50's, everything else is just crap
(i'm not saying they're worth the price though) -

Are they FMJ's worth buying?
I had this problem with my other noise cancelling earphones but I stopped using them a long time ago and now i'm using another pair but these new ones doesn't have this problem. i've yet to compare the 2 sets to see why it happens though. -

Hm... perhaps I can wrap something over it? But I'm not sure what, and it might make it louder/heavier -

You mean the default ones? The non-IEM? I think only IEM makes microphonics. I had the stocks one, but they were badly damaged and I wanted better sound quality.
