Does anyone have a pic that shows the cord length of the Sony Fontopia Earbuds MDR-EX71SLB.

I'm curious if it is a short wire that can be connected to the Fastport/mic attacment included with the W810 and also if the cord connects down the center as I absolutely cannot function with earbuds that hang heavy on one ear and then wrap around.

Thanks guys

So far it seems no matter where I look there is only one stock picture for these things and unfortunately it cuts the cord out of the frams and so I can't actually get any idea.

Here you are Spindizzy. The primary cord is about 45 cm or 18 inch long. As you can see, the cord doesn't connect in the center.
Mine broke just 2 days ago after only 8 months of carefull use. Cables are (too) thin and one of them broke internally. Up to now I liked the set but there is maybe a bit too much emphasis on the basses.

Thanks for that DocTorpor,

Indeed everyone here is a huge help.

I can see these are also of the asymmetrical variety that I find just so clumsy to wear.

And also to note, some further reading of user reviews on a different site all claimed an alarming fault in the build quality these things. Turns out the cord
disintegrates exposing the copper wiring. 9 of the 10 reviews I read mentioned this. Yiiikes!

So I guess the question now is if there is an alternative set with a short neck only cord with the plug centered?
