The UM1 comes with a 50 inch wire. You need to loop the UM1s behind your head and round your ear. Whereas this can be uncomfortable at first, you’ll get used to it. Just like the UM2s UM1 has a braided wire. It is a double edged sword. The braided wire is light and versatile, but lacks aesthetic worth.
