Reason Why One Ear Bud Cable Is Longer Than The Other. (pictures) by xreal: 6:37am On Oct 08, 2015
No, the manufacturer wasn't short of cable.

Some ear buds models feature cables where one side of the cable is longer than the other.
These are called "asymmetrical" cables and it is a deliberate design.

The longer side of the cable goes behind the neck to the other side of the head and into the
ear, so instead of having a two cables hang in front of a user in a 'Y' configuration, an asymmetrical
configuration only has one single cable that is off to the side where it is out of the way.
It is recommended to route the cable above the ear and then down into the ear canal.
The cable exiting the ear bud should be pointing up.

initially I wasn't ok with it, I gave it a try once, and again and again untill I got so so used to it.

I feel it gives me a better sound. smiley

Nice, I never knew. I use this pattern when I'm washing or doing something in front of me that I've to bend, I dislike the cords dancing up and down, and most times I own same length cords.
