This may be a pro or con– the cord is very long, perhaps 10 feet. It could easily get tangled, and the wire itself is fairly thin. The width is analogous to Apple earbuds (standard issue with iPods). They obviously wouldn’t rip with regular wear-and-tear, as long as you show them some semblance of care.
