Best Earbuds - One earbud cord longer than the other?
Some wonder why their earbuds have one cord longer than the other. This isn't a manufacturers flaw they are designed to be this way. Some of the best earbuds are designed to be this way so that they can wrap around the back of the head, keeping the cord out of the way of your face and arms.
This is good because it keep them out of the way while you are doing things. When you are skiing, running, or doing anything that is remotely active they can get in the way and get ripped out of your ear. This is not only dangerous but painful as well.
