Are you one of those people who like listening to music or making phone calls through earphones? If so, have you noticed that the cable length of the Earphone is different between left and right?
And Here's The Explanation
Before we start, make sure you already know in advance the difference between Headphone, Headset and Earphone.
Each earphone has a mark to distinguish between left and right. The letter R (right) to the right and the letter L (left) to the left. In addition to the L and R marks, the long side cable is also used to distinguish the earphones. But, Why?
Man has 2 ears on the left and right. When using both earphones, the sound effects will be more realistic than just 1 earphone. When using both earphones, of course we've also heard songs that run from left to right or even around our heads, it's called stereo and surround effects.
The stereo effect is also due to the human ear is a fairly complex organ. You need to know, the human ear consists of the arrangement of small bones that have different functions. This is what makes the sound that goes into the left and right can also be different.
1. It's easy to put in your pants pocket
To distinguish between left and right earphones is a sign L and R. In addition, long-sided cable is also used to distinguish the earphones. Usually the right cable is longer than the left cable. The reason is to facilitate the user when put the phone or music player plugged into the earphone on the left pocket.
When the user puts a mobile phone or music player in the left pocket. Automatically the distance traveled on the right cable 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, cable length is also used to distinguish when we want to use the earphone in the dark. In the dark, L and R are not too visible. To make it easier to distinguish between the left and right on an earphone when in a dark place, you just need to feel the earphone cable.
3. Sharpen sound recording
Another reason is to make our voice catching easier when calling. On the left is usually available Mic to record sound. Because the left side is a short cable, of course the sound capture will be better than if Mic placed on the right cable.
That's some of the reasons why earphones have long cable next door. If you have other reasons, you can share in the comments field.
