How long is this thing's cord? The description says in two places that the cord on the headphones is 3.3 feet, but many reviewers mention a 10 foot cord and the description also says at another point "2.5 meters", which is a good deal longer than 3.3 feet. So the "customers who bought this item also bought" list includes a cheap extension - no surprise. So which is it? How long is this thing's cord?

same question. 3 foot cord for headphones sounds ridiculous so i'm thinking its really 3 meters like in the reviews.since no one complained about the length of the cord that i can see, i'm gonna go for it.

cord is too long... i didn't measure it but it's definitely multiple-feet long. it might be convenient for at home if you want to watch tv or hook it up to the computer/keyboard or something. but it's not practical going outside with all that cord!

I know its been almost a moth since the original post but it is very confusing in the reviews about the cord length. I received my headphones three days ago and the cord is clearly 3 Meter long.

I saw someone put less than 3 ft. Absolutely wrong. it's at least 6 feet. without knowing the exact measurement I am about 5'10" and i held this cord up to me and from plug to tin tips it was longer than me.

I'm not sure? It's about the standard length. I don't have the packaging anymore because I threw it away. The headphones came with a short in the cord. It was horrible. People couldn't hear me and I was going in and out. And it would just pause.

The cord was a standard length. I am tall and it was long enough. Overall, I didnt use them long. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to electronics. I bought Bose ear buds, paid more, but the quality and durability is excellent.

I think it might be 6 feet. definitely long compared to the others. but this one stopped working VERY quickly, and only the second port works, so I use my own cord

I think the cords are short because they expect that the headphones will be used with portable music players. I have several extension cords that I use in other listening situations. Remember one of the cords has a remote control for iPhone etc. with a microphone. Also the cord can attach to either side for convenience in portable use. Who wants to walk around with 20 feet of cord rolled up in your pocket?

About 3 to 4 feet. You can add a USB extension cord if you need it longer.. I've been very happy with mine.

The cord on these headphones are pretty long. It measures about 3 feet if not a little longer. My boys have no issue with the length of the cord. I have actually had to roll up some of the cord to shorten it a little. In any case, very happy with the headphones and the length of the cord. Hope this helps.

It is at least 3 feet. There have been discussions about the microphone not working due to the cord being too long. I've used a 6 ft cord and it was fine. Make sure that it is plugged into a regular USB port on your computer. I burned out two microphones because I had it plugged into a shared USB port.

On www.store.sony.com, it describes the Sony Mdr-zx300 headphone as having a "Cord : 47 1/4 in. (1.2 m) Y-type". We use it sitting down infront of a laptop.

Sorry, I don't have an exact figure for the length but I can tell you that it is long enough have the headphones on and have my ipod classic drop into my back pocket with cord to spare. Hope that helps.

The cord it pretty long I stand at 5'3" and it reaches about 5" or so from the floor. I use it on my phone and have used them for multiple phone calls as well. Games and tv sure if there is a standard jack for the headphones to plug into. I have used it on my Nintendo DS and DSi and I have plugged them into my sound system for the tv in case someone was sleeping in the room or something. Hope I helped

It is pretty long. I can't really give you a measurement but long enough to be able to put some distance between you and the device when listening to something.

I can't tell you exactly how long the cord is. I can tell you that the cord was troublesome for me...tended to stay in its original shape from the package...which meant it did not stretch out and drape easily for me. Also...since you are asking...the on/off switch was easily switched on accidentally...wearing out the battery. Then the wire came detached from the headphones and they were no longer usable. Not a good product.

about 10-12 ft. It is a decent length. There is an additional cord that hooks up to your game sound. I advise getting a double female RCA plug to female 3.5 headphone jack. This cord is VERY thin. I had a mouse chew into cord and I lost my surround until I got the jack. Plus the sound is better eliminating the poor quality cord from the equation

Included cable is 3 M long. Decent cable, but can get better performance. I am using an Oyaide headphone cable that I like a lot (2.5 m $60-70). Connector on headphone side is a 3.5 mm compatible plug. Others have reported using V-moda and mediabridge with good results. Easy to experiment with changing cable. You will be happy with these headphones.

The cord is about ten feet, however the cord is probably the main thing bringing this headset down, as the cord is covered with a fairly weak sewn cloth thing, sorry I am not good at describing things, however there is a plastic cord beneath it that will tear at the cover and start to poke out in little loops, these loops then eventually become frustratingly tangled and are very unappealing to look at. I recommend spending the extra money to get the wireless version of this headset.
