Headphones...
 
I just got the N810, and I love it so far.

Here's a ******ed question about the headphones though. Why is the right cord so much longer than the left?

If I put them in my ears, the distance from the fork to the left earbud is maybe 7 inches, but the distance from the fork to the right earbud is closer to 15 inches. There doesn't appear to be any way to adjust it.

I'm assuming this is a defect, but I figure I'll post here first just to make sure I'm not missing something.

Same for me. Just a crappy defect on a really nice (otherwise) pair of headphones

I run the right bud around the back of my head to the ear which makes it more reasonable. I guess I have a big head.
They do work great though and will suffice until a2dp arrives.

Yup - its so one can go around the back of your head - they make them like that so if you want to take off the headphones for a while you can just drape them around the back of your neck (1 on each side). It's actually quite a normal setup, been around since walkmans were cool

You ran cable for the right earphone behind your neck. In this way earphones are hanging on your neck when not in ears.

I lol'ed I remember thinking the same thing a few years ago when I spent $70 on a nice set of earbuds (thats a lot for me) that I had been ripped off because they were broken. I went back to the store and the salesperson laughed at me saying they were designed to run around the back of the head :). I actually prefer this design now.

Huh, ok. I guess I'll try using them the intended way. At present, the setup seems pretty annoying, and I've been using an uncomfortable pair of crappy iRiver earbuds.
