This actually left no slack in the cable at all, so it works perfectly and Im a satisfied customer. Other reviewer photos helped me originally and I want to return the favor I had to use a new wheel and hope it was right. This case is crap. I bought this to use with my Pixel phone with the USB C connection. The mic itself is a short audio field cardioid, designed to work close to the mouth, about 2-3 inches max. Not a good quality products at all. Bluetooth speakers were ok. I was packing it up and made one more effort plugging it in to my phone jack. I stumbled across a similar pair while on vacation.
