The cords from the left and right ear pieces fit into the sleeve, and can then be [wrapped around one's wrist or neck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection) to keep those pesky wires from going all over the place. The length of the cord can be easily adjusted anywhere between 16 inches to 3.5 feet with a simple pull, and is available in a variety of colors.
