My flatmates bought me these beauties for my bday. The fact that the cord is so long gives me some incentive to clean my room since I can circumnavigate it while listening to music and still be plugged in at the end of it. And I like that the cord isn't hard wired to the cans but rather, plugs into them... if it weren't for that, I would have botched them long ago after trampling on a tangled cord.
