Are you one of the people
who like to listen to music or make phone calls through the earphones? so, have you ever noticed that the length of
the cable of the earphones different between left and right?
Although not all the
earphone has different cable lengths,
it certainly makes some people curious.
That ye no longer curious, here I will explain the reasons why the long
earphone cable side.
This is the explanation
Before starting the
explanation, make sure you know in advance the difference between Headphones,
Headset and Earphones. You can read the following article: Headphones Vs
Headset Earphone, Where More Comfortable ?
Each earphone has a sign to
distinguish between left and right. The letter R (right) for the next right and
letter L (left) to the left. In addition to an L and R, the cable length side
is also used to distinguish these earphones. Why should distinguish between
left and right?

Humans have two ears on the
left and right. When installing the earphones, the sound effects will be more
obvious than just plug one earphone. When installing both earphones, of course
we've heard songs that run from left to right or even circled our heads, it's
called stereo and surround effects.
Stereo effect also
because the human ears are a fairly complex organ. You need to know, the human
ears consists of the arrangement of tiny bones which have different functions.
This makes the sound that goes to the left and right can also be different
1. Facilitate put it in trouser pocket
To distinguish between the
left and right earphones are an L and R. In addition, a long cable side is also
used to distinguish these earphones. Usually the cable is longer than the right
side to the left cable. The reason is to simplify the user when to put the
phone or music player earphones plugged into the pockets in left position.
When users put a mobile
phone or music player in the pocket in left,automatic distance in the cable to
the right will be longer. That's what makes why the right earphone cable is
longer than the left.
2. Easy to find in the dark
In addition, the length of
the cable is also used to distinguish when we wanted to use the earphone in the
dark. Dark place, an L and R are not too visible. To make it easier to
distinguish between the left and right in an earphone when in dark places, you
just have to grope the earphone cable.
3. Sharpen voice recording
Another reason is to
facilitate the arrest of our voice while dialing. On the left are usually
available Mic for recording sound. Because the left side is a short cable, of
course, catching the sound will be better than if Mic placed in the right
cables.
Those are some reasons why
the earphone has a long cable side. If you have any other reason, you can share
in the comments.
