I was really looking forward to getting noise-isolating, retractable ear buds. I listen to music on my subway commute and need to stow my headphones between trips, and have gotten fed up with tangled cords. I'm still baffled as to how hard it is to...

I opened this up and pulled out the cord. First of all, there is no way the earbuds can reach my ears...the cord between the buds is too small. I tried out the retracting feature and the cord immediately started pushing out of the cord holder and...
