What do you mean by "the cord banging" ?

I too have have a pair of CX-300. Very impressive, but I only use them when travelling AND not walking. If I have a bit of walking to do, the sound from my own footsteps drives me nuts with that type of ear-plugs headphones.

I think I saw it described on headroom as "touching the cable and having the sound reverberate in your skull."

I haven't noticed that that problem.

Hunh. There's a couple of really poor reviews on the CX-300 II on headroom. I wonder if they changed the design a lot.

I should say that my main (only?) purpose for these is for airline travel; watching movies, mainly, as well as watching movies on the laptop at the hotel. Maybe the occasional commuter train travel. I've got 2 pairs of closed air headphones, the Sennheiser HD 220 (?) and the AKG K81DJs. I really like the sound quality of the AKGs, but they are horrifyingly uncomfortable for more than about 15 minutes. The 202s aren't bad, but they are enormous, look silly, weigh a ton, and the sound quality isn't as good. Plus I can't wear either with my hat.

Heh... hope I haven't created an aggravation for you. No problem Ken. I just got done getting my smoker ready while wearing the 300s and can report they did not have that problem. I think they would be a great set for your needs while not spending huge money.

Thanks for checking for me, Rick. Unfortunately, being a bit of a doubting Thomas, I think I'll buy about 3 pairs of IEMs, including that one, and see which one I like best. I've done that sort of thing before with Headroom, and they're pretty cool about it. I'm thinking this list:
Sennheiser CX-300 II Maximo iM590 Etymotic ER-6i (although I'd dearly like to try the HR-5 or the ER-4P...)
Anyone have any other choices/advice?
