If you need these earphones to work out, then DO NOT get these.  I needed a pair quickly, so I picked these up for $15.  The cord is way too long.  They do not have a clamp on them, so I spend my whole workout trying to make sure they don't fall out of my ears.  I had a cheap pair of Emerge retractable earbuds before this.  I miss them so much that I just purchased another pair.  They clamp to the back of my shirt and they stay in my ears perfectly.  They are not the best sound, but they were comprable to these.  One of the wires eventually went out, but they are perfect for working out and the price.

As far as being a retractable earphone...the case is way too big.  If you want to walk around carrying the winding case everywhere, be my guest.  These are terrible for what I need them for.  If you plan on sitting and doing nothing, then maybe you will love them.  I unfortunately just waisted $17.00.  Blah!!!
