I've been using asymetrical earbuds for years and I love em, but it looks like the audio world doesn't.
My fave have been the Sennheiser  Sennheiser CX300B and its predecessor the CX300B II.
2days ago my CX300B II pair broke and desparate to get my hands on another pair of asymetrical earbuds. I know the the Sennheiser earbuds are great, but are there any others out there that are asymetrical?!!?
 
HELP!

The housing isn't symmetric.  Angled nozzles, many over ear designs are asymmetrical.

He means J-cord. I believe the new Sony EX210 are J-cord and a good price. They are just EX300's redone with a better price. http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=MDREX210B/BLU
In the specs, "OFC neckchain cord" mean J-cord same as Sennheiser's "asymmetrical cord" does.
 
Here's Totallydubbed's review of the EX510 with covers the EX500 as well. http://www.totallydubbed.net/2012/03/30/sony-mdr-ex510-review/
 
The EX210/300/310/500/510 are all J-cord. I might just go for the EX310 since they might be the best value. Better than the 210/300 and a better value than the EX510 at the normal price difference.
 
Of course, just as with the Senn CX300's, there are fake EX300 and 500's which is another reason to go for the new design 310 or 510.

Yeah but the one he liked is not asymmetrical at all.

Ah, didn't notice that.

Yes, you are the only one. 
 
 
Sorry someone had to say it. 

 

[jschwartz393]

Asymmetrical all the way!!
So versitile to use when you just want the ear buds to hang around your neck when not in use!

i love 'em too but unfortunately all good-sounding 'phones do have symmetrical wires. just position them at your back so that when you're not using them they'll be hanging in front.

The Sony MDREX310LP have a J-cord and are pretty good sounding for ~$60

Most of the Sony XBA series are J-corded. Well, they did invent J-cord in the first place. XBA-1 is pretty good for the price actually.

Edit : sorry never mind.
