An itsy-bitsy revirew update: Yesterday,inspired by this thread, I brought my Comets to work. I usually take my Shure’s bc when I walk to lunch or just take a walk outside the building where my office is in to get up and stretch a it I listen to them with my AK. Before yesterday, I had pretty much always listened to the Comets sitting down. I discovered that the cable is pretty microphonic-sensitive. There is a partial solution that involves a small trade-off. The Comets are more comfortable, very comfortable with the cables going straight down. That is where the microphonics are worst. If you where them with cables over your ears the microphonics are noticeably better, although the wear is a little less comfortable but not uncomfortable. Consider Campfire is from ALO, the microphonic problem surprised me.
