Hi!
Just got a nice HPM-70 for my W800 cause the original was very destroyed... now I realized that this new one doesn't have the neck support (I'm glad... was very uncofortable), but what I noticed is that the left earbud cable comes from "below" instead of from "above", putting tension and again maybe breaking in some months... ripping the cable rubber apart.
Here is a picture (sorry, paint-made) with the black showing how it is and the red how I think it should be.
Thanks, let me know

I think your handsfree is the way it should be. The black drawing seems correct to me

Mine is like that too. It's odd, but it's supposed to be like that.
Perhaps it's because you're supposed to put the cable between the earbuds behind your neck. If you also have the sound cable from the phone on your back, it would make sense.

Mine is the same as the black drawing.. but i have no problem on using it though
just put on the left earphone first then place the other right earphone round from left side to right and fit it to your right ear

It is a flaw of Sony made earphones. My Ex-71 have the same issue.

its not a flaw they are suppose to be like that for ergonomics,. they are made to be fed round the back of your head.

No, it is a flaw...
both headphone wires should come out of the top of the plastic "splitter".
I wear my long loop round the back of my neck as well (which I think is a decent design) but the shape of the split annoys me.

Well I guess that is a matter of taste. I personally view it as a design flaw for two reasons:
1) It places additional pressure on the wire by having it bend back round
2) It causes the plastic splitter to hang horizontally rather than vertically

the splitter shouldn't hang at all, did you not see my lovely pictue.... The splitter rests horizontall on the back of your neck, not pressure is put on any of the wires cos it natraully flows that way
