So I've been disgusted with my standard ipod earbuds lately and decided today to go out and buy some new ones. I ended up buying some Koss earbuds for $24.88. I decided to buy these since they were somewhere in the middle pricewise at the local store...and also because the box looks pretty awesome; wonderful marketing Koss.
[image loading]



I like the look, feel, and quality of them but my only problem seems to be that the right earbud cord is like 8 times longer than the left. What the hell? Is this how they make earbuds now? This is the first pair I've ever bought and the only other ones I've ever used have been my ipod ones.

What am I supposed to do with all of that extra cord?


Help.

You're supposed to put the left one in your left ear, then curl the cord around the back of your next to your right ear. This allows the rest of the headphone cord (The non separated part) to lie either diagonally to your torso, or down one side.

It wraps around the back so they don't fall out. It's pretty cool once you figure it out

I suppose it is pretty funny now that I know what the extra cord is for. :D

That's just how they are now. You just get used to it.

The sound is actually really nice. I couldn't imagine it being any better. They block out noise really well and they're really comfortable. I just got done working out and my only complaint is that the left one (the shorter one) comes a little loose every once in a while.

I actually had to replace the original rubber thing on the ear with the smallest, and now its much better... Before it wouldn't fit, and was uncomfortable.
