Question About Supplied Nokia Headphones

[Salidwyn]

This isn't really a huge issue for me but I was wondering if the headphones were made this way or if I got a goofed up one.

One of the earbud cords, instead of them both being the same length, is significantly longer. From the part where it splits (the mic?) I the left headphone is about 10" long while the right is probably around 2' long. I was just curious if it was suppose to be this way or not since it seemed very strange.

Thanks!

Do not worry: your headphones are exactly like they're supposed to be. The mic simply needs to be not so far from your mouth, so...

Ah, that's good to know then. I've never used the mic, just the headphones so the first time I went to use them, I was a bit confused. Thanks for the clarification!

The earpud with the longer cable goes round the back of your neck...

F'in Milhouse...I feel like a ****** now, I was beginning to wonder why the hell they made that so long...thanks.

I am curious if there is anyone else making a N800 compatible headset/microphone combo. I am not too keen on Nokia's design, as there is no cable spool, snap case or other mechanism for keeping the cable from becoming a tangled mess in one's pocket. The earbuds also tend to collect lint due to their gummy rubber design.
