how do they fold? it looks like the phone part swivels up into the headband, but can't quite tell.

That's exactly right. The headphones swing "upside down" then tilt up into the band, which has to be fully extended (i.e., as if you have a big head. It's NOT the reason to buy them--they're nice phones with good sound quality, but not really all that "compact."

It does indeed fold up into the headband. I really like these headphones. Great sound quality for the price.

Yes, the cups fold inward towards the headband. The cups also swivel which allows you to slide them into a bag or briefcase.

The ear price swings up and swivels flat. They reduce their space by half .

Yes they do swivel. If you hold the cups together in the center and push upward, they fold into a compact style position. Check the Audio Technica ATHM50s' in Amazon, you'll see what I'm talking about.

The phones do swivel up- the hinges in the side of the headband pivot up, and while its not extremely compact, I've stuffed them in my bag many times and they're fine. I wouldn't worry about them breaking unless you step on them (which I did with my jvc flats). Overall, great cans, sound is worth 40-50$, just don't get them if you have big ears; they won't fit inside.

The case folds back and there's a magnetic piece inside the back cover that lets it stay in place. You can even fold the small flap back in between the two piece and all 3 magnets will hold it in place. Most cell phones are reallyvsmsll or thin and cramp your hand when holding them too long. This gives you a wider grip. The plastic piece the phone sits in is flush with the edge of the phone too.

There are two axes in which something can pivot. vertically and horizontally. These head phones pivot horizontally, that is left to right, not up and down.

The ear cups swivel so they can be side-by-side in a flatter profile, but the headband does not fold. Probably comparable in profile to the expensive Bose noise-canceling headphones, that comes with a little clamshell holder to store them in. The Panasonic comes with a little cloth bag to store them.

I'm so use to it by now but it's flexible so I feel it's fairly simple to slip it in. If you insert the top part of the phone in first then the bottom flaps just fold right over the bottom, takes just a sec. Hope this helps. :)

Headphone is well made. They don't rotate 90 to fold flat. Instead there is a metal hinge (instead of plastic like most headphones) that the headphones fold at. This is a good review for the durability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxkNsk16DlI

It comes in 3 pieces...all are pretty flexible...so with the phone facing you, there are two small openings on right side that you can use to pull them apart. (It will then unsnap)

I bought the same arm band and i put it in upside down and wore it withe the slit upwards. This way the phone won't fall out while exercicing.

the otterbox has a lid that opens, then the armband has holes, one of which matches the area where the headphone jack goes. It's not smooth, actually it seems like the lid will break from the pressure, but it does not. It works, but it feels like an afterthought

It took a minute for me to figure that out also. They're rather stiff to move but the metal actually goes up into the head strap. So you either pull it down or push it up into the head strap.

The earpieces rotate 90 degrees so it will pack flat, but the headband doesn't fold at all. I should go in a book bag OK but certainly not in coat pocket for intance.

Well they fold back easily. So I do not think they do since my bf does not have the phone anymore. But they move back and forth.

Hi Jon. I purchased this gadget for my daughter in law. This is her reply:i'm not sure what he's even asking but the holder extends up and out and there is a small screw (black )that you twist to fix it in place. maybe his phone is too big for it. Is it an Iphone?Diane

So it kinda collapses on itself. Once it's flat, twist opposite corners and it should fold up into itself. Hope that makes sense.

The top headband slides in and out. Just grasp the headband just above the ear pieces, pull up to make headband flat then push in or pull out to adjust. Very simple, just give it a try!

I disagree here. The earpieces do swivel on the curved headset piece. Quite a bit of swivel from top to bottom and a bit from side to side. They adjust nicely to fit your head.

It lies flat - and not only that, since the little flap closure also folds back and is magnetic, it can be folded back over the top cover (or underneath it) to secure the cover. I use it that way when making or receiving a phone call, when charging the phone, or when using the GPS etc. And no, it is not bulky unless you stick several credit cards or whatever in the slots (which I do not). Strangely enough, I do not use the feature that lets you prop the phone up sideways at all, but that's simply my personal preference.
