I point the red dot inside so when it's on the ear it should be facing your ear.Ok, I will quit beating this dead horse. But just to explain one more time, both cables have one red pin and one unmarked pin. One is marked R, which is obviously the right channel, and one is marked L, which is obviously the left channel. When you plug in the plugs into the earphones, they can be inserted either direction. Only one way is correct polarity. The earphones should have a red mark and then the red pin would go into that hole. But they are not marked. I know about left and right channels.
Negative pin (-) is closer to the nozzle in the socket. Positive pin (+) is closer to the wheel.
I know what you are saying...at least on the pairs I have that cable inserts further one way than the other...unless I am smoking crackOk, I will quit beating this dead horse.

Sadly Bob seems to have quit this site for almost a year now.Thanks, this is not about the supplied cable, which only inserts one way because it has a little nub on one side. My aftermarket cables do not have this nub. They have a red pin and an unmarked pin.
I am just surprised that as people have discussed aftermarket cables they have not mentioned this little challenge to polarity.
Bob, any chance you can chime in?
It's probably Amazon in EU/UK
