iPod Earbud Cords Are a Safe Length

I never knew why earphone and earbud cord lengths are the way they are. Now I know. I go for walks listening to my iPod, and one time, I was in a rush and and my iPod slipped out of my hands as I was turning it on.

Fortunately, I already had the earbuds in place . As the iPod fell towards the ground, I saw the earbud cord unravel and act as a safety line keeping my iPod from crashing to the ground. Whew!

So I’d say the iPod earbud cords are a safe length.
