Answer 2

it's made so the left bud goes directly up to your ear, and the right one wraps around the back of your head, so there is only one wire to get caught on in front of you, not two. They take awhile to get used to but it is actually a good setup to use.

mine are like that

Answer 3

you put it around the back of your neck. the one with the longer side usually gooes in your right ear. I don't think they make headphones the classic way anymore (going in front of the neck).
