Here are the headphones.  The package includes the headphone unit and an extension cord.  Here you can see the earbuds are quite small.

The cord is asymmetrical with the majority of the cord running of the left side.  This is handy if you use the headphones with a arm band mounted MP3 or radio.  However, it puts a bit more pressure on the left ear and if you accidentally yank on the cord, it's gonna come out of your left ear first.  The end of the cord is a straight plug that is most likely gonna be connected to the extension since the cord is fairly short.

Here are close-ups of the earbud headphones.  They have silver trim which makes them look pretty stylish.

The headphones came with a variety of earpads in different sizes.  This is a great thing since the "one size fits all" earpads that come with other headphones usually don't fit very well.

Here is the earbud with the earpads removed.  The driver is quite small at 9 mm.

This is the supplied extension cord.  Since the cord on the earbuds are pretty short, you'll probably find yourself using this extension quite a bit.

Again, this is a closer view of the ends of the extension cable.  The last picture shows the extension cable plugged together with the earbud cable.  It's nice that everything is gold plated.

This little capsule is designed to hold the earbuds when they are not in use.  How does it work?

You lay the 2 earbuds in the capsule and snap it shut.
