Sorry I can't help you, Renee', I use the stylus for my iPad of which the case has a holder for it. I also wondered how the plastic peg was to be used.

You use it just like a pen. You only put the thing in the earbud hole to store it. You take it out to use it. If you don't want to keep it tethered to you phone you don't have to.

I don't know what the tip is to do. I have a iPad and there is no place for the plastic tip to go. So maybe it is for the phones.Hope that this helped you!

I wouldn't, since it is so ridgid, it doesn't have much give, and if it breaks while in there, good luck getting it out. It's a cheap product in my opinion

It is indeed a custom / proprietary plug that goes into the headphone end of the cable, not your standard 3.5mm. from close examination, it seems that the plug is slightly longer, and maybe reaches a clip slightly further inside the jack than a normal 3.5mm plug. I am also disappointed by this, but sony doesn't sell their own cables on the side to make money either, so I don't know what's up. anyway, if you want more cables you'll need to call sony's customer support for them

It's a pretty convenient little package really. It has a plugin on the end of a short lanyard, that enables you to plug in to your headphone jack, so that stylus and device remain together. Keep in mind that your device might not make any sound while the stylus cap is connected. Also use some care when working with the stylus, that you don't use to heavy a hand. That is metal behind the rubber tip.

No sarcasm. For some reason they ship a complementary earbud holder. I also fail to see the connection but it is a nice little device to keep your earbuds from getting too tangled. Only flat ear buds will fit. Pot holders are great so I wouldn't let the earbud thing make or break the deal.

This baffled me at first. If you look very closely you will see that the ear pads have plastic edges which stretch over the phones. The smooth black plastic is hard to see, but you can perhaps feel the edges with your fingernail. Basically, you stretch this plastic edge such that you can detach the pad. When you seat a new pad you will stretch the new edge over the phone and once again it will be hard to see. Good luck.

As phrased your question could be interpreted two ways so I'm going to be nitpicky. The metal portion of the headphone connector is straight BUT the plastic portion that the metal pin is mounted in is at a 90° angle to the pin. I think this means that these headphones are not for you.

The fish thing you can use to wrap your earphone cord to keep it from tangling. Not sure that's what it is intended for though.

The black plastic "thingy" fits into the top of my smartphone (and side of my tablet) where an earphone connector would go - keeps the stylus at hand. I don't use it with my tablet since it clips onto the tablet cover I bought; however, it's great to keep the stylus and the phone from being separated.

Hi Carolyn! The wallet case, by nature, is a bit more to hold next to your ear than a "normal" case. The way most people have been using these comfortably is how a few customers here have mentioned, by folding the "wallet side" behind the phone side and then holding it up to your ear. I alternate between a few of our cases and the wallet case took some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's very handy :) If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

The string has a plastic end that plugs securely into the headphone jack. It's really just a tether so the stylus will dangle and flop around when plugged in, but at least it's connected and less likely to be misplaced when not in use. An ideal solution would be some kind of clamp that holds the stylus still and in place, but that's not what this does.

Hi dsears3! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede! It seems that Flying Dave and Terri are correct! In the headphone jack is where that plastic piece tethers to in order to secure your stylus. Let me know if I can be of more help here:

I think this devices is meant to plug into a phone system, not an individual phone. Think of it like a CD player or an mp3 player... which is essentially what it is. It outputs but you have to have somewhere to plug the input.

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

The rubber foam piece Is shaped like a doughnut, and what you do is center the rubber Over the middle of the earphone piece. You actually push down over the post and it will grab on in the center and pop back up where it will stay in place.

I ordered this tooth "Retail Package" to make sure I received EVERYTHING that was supposed to come with. Extra ear buds are in the package, with and without the ear-hook, but I always wear and feel more secure with the hook. I have never used the ear-bud, so I really cannot say how secure. Sorry I could not have been of more help.

Hi Lakena! My apologies for the late reply. We've recently added instructional videos to our website, which you can see here: http://www.thefriendlyswede.com/instructional-videos/ Basically, the silver ring on the one end of the lanyard is made to loop around the metal ring on the end of the stylus opposite of the rubber tip. Sort of like a key ring. The rubber/plastic plug on the other end of the lanyard is meant to plug into the earphone outlet of your iphone/iPod/iPad/ etc... Hope that helps!

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???
