Yes, it does reflect the sound from the cord. I have a set of more expensive Sony buds that do the same thing. Must go with the territory. On the up side, the cord really resisted tangling. Shari Hi aphid,

That’s one of the issues I have with the noise isolating buds… the “microphonic cord.” Yes, it does reflect the sound from the cord. I have a set of more expensive Sony buds that do the same thing. Must go with the territory. On the up side, the cord really resisted tangling.

How "microphonic" is the cord? i.e. if you tap the cord, how loud is it in your ear?
