Does cord noise bother you? The last few times I've tried to use wired headphones, I was incredibly annoyed by the sounds created by the cord touching stuff.

    Are you using a smooth / rubber cord or one of those rough, braided cords? I usually use modified KOSS headphones and some Verisonix cups. They've all got smooth cords, so I almost never notice if it touches things, but I'm mostly wearing on-ear / open backed headphones that wouldn't likely transmit that too much.

    You can buy non-microphonic cables for pretty cheap. Bought a 7€ hama cable for an old pair of Philips 2xhr headphones and it was completely silent.

    IEM/earbud cables are a little trickier, but there are plenty of sub 20€ cables online that are good. Microphonics is only really a problem with carelessly designed or very cheaply made cables.
