Back to the wind noise…
I have a pair of v-moda vibes which are quite susceptible to conducted vibration from wind, rubbing etc. Mostly I think because the cable has a woven outer.
I fix the problem by routing the cable over the top and down the back of my ears. That way the vibration is damped out by contact with my skin before it reaches the in-ear driver.
Yeah, pretty much all IEMs have problems with the cables transferring vibrations to your ear canals, especially in the budget segment. Most in the budget IEMs make little or no attempt to prevent this problem, but the Air Cushions at least have features to limit vibration noise. The cables are very smooth, so they create little friction and according to JVC there there is some sort of “vibration-proof structure”, whatever that is. In any case they’re fairly decent in this regard, at least compared to others at this price point.
