One of the most viewed product categories on Kallow is the earbud page.

Currently, we recommend the excellent and affordable Sennheiser CX300s, which are miles above and beyond the standard, white buds that come packaged with most MP3 players.

There is something unique about these Sennheisers: their wires are unequal in length. The right bud’s wire is about twice as long as the left ear’s. So, we’re often asked, what’s up with that?

While most headphones and earbud cables rest in front of the body, in a Y-shape, the CX300s are designed to be worn as a J-shape.

To be worn properly and comfortably, insert the left earbud first. Then, take the longer cord leading to the right earbud, and instead of running it in front of your neck, wrap it around the backside of your neck and insert it into your right ear. This will form a “J-shape,” instead of the more common Y.

This is especially great when exercising. No more annoying wire getting in the way when you’re pumping iron or jogging outside in the beautiful summer weather!

Happy Thursday everyone!
