The cord is 5 foot in length which in my case is probably too long but certainly long enough. If you have a bike with suspension or ride around at a leisurely pace, the Bike Tie and Bike Tie X are great. I love Dragonflies (Im an Outlander fan), and wanted a light window topper. Message for everyone, just be cautious what you buy and make sure you can return it. I have used it for approximately two months in both Road and mountain bike conditions, even with rocky terrain, the phone is 100% secure. They had them in my size, which is 7 but I took a chance on the wide, which these sandals were. I hate inner earphones, but need both. I’ve got Penzey’s standard jars plus McCormack 4. After I wrote this review, I received a call from LilGadgets letting me know that they were going to replace the headset (the product has a 1 year warranty) and that the headset shouldnt have broken so quickly. Very happy with these Birks
