By “cord noise” are you referring to the sound transmitted when the cords hit something? If so, this is sort of “the nature of the beast” with in-ear earbuds. Very similar to the old string and can trick - vibrations travel up the cords and the in-ear piece acts like a sounding board. I’m sure that some manufacturer has addressed this, but I’m also sure they didn’t do it at a sub-$30 price point. I’ve never noticed this problem with the marshmallows to be worse than others. If you’re having this problem while running, you might try running the cords up your back - may bounce a little less…
There are some “high end” earbuds out there, but they’re generally over $100. You might try the Trick Audio ones linked in my other post. The in-ear unit is smaller than the marshmalllows and might be less likely to amplify the cord noise. At $40, they’re only slightly above your price point.
