Moshi Moonrock In-Ear Headphones / B004MSU3TEThese are my first Moshi earbuds; I'm used to using Skullcandy. I was excited to receive these because they look really sharp on the product page. But I was really surprised to put them in my ears and to hear this background dull roar white static noise. I tried the headphones with my phone and with my two MP3 players, and it was the same in each case. The sound wasn't as noticeable when it was being drowned out with music, but I use my devices largely for listening to audio books, and the static was *really* noticeable with a verbal track.On a side note, the carrying case does not seem very convenient to use -- the earbuds have to snap in "just so", and it seems to me like this precise maneuvering of the cord will cause strain on the internal wires over time. But that's just my expectation, and since I wasn't able to use these for their intended purpose, I didn't take off any stars for the case.I'm really disappointed, but it's very possible I just got a bad batch.NOTE: This review is based on a free Advance Review Copy of this product provided through Amazon Vine.~ Ana Mardoll
