No More Messy and Tangled Earphones
6 Comments By Eran Abramson on November 7th, 2007 in Product ConceptsI always wondered when would a practical product be designed to keep our earphones untangled and easily accessible. Finally it happened!
Throughout the years, no matter how much effort I put into packing or unpacking my earphones, they would always end up getting tangled. I remember wrapping them around the walkman when I was young, nowadays it is the mp3 player, and it would always be messed up when I unravel it.. We can all remember the times when a knot turned into many different ones. We start to mess with all the wires, moving them around and through loops, so finally our earphones would be free and loose. Sometimes it would be easy to untangle, sometimes it would be time consuming and frustrating.
This is a Broadhong Design, and Jaehyung Hong has created an earphone holder that neatly keeps them organized. When you are finished listening, simply place them in the holder and lock them in place. Since the cords are placed through the holder, they are held in place correctly and efficiently.
Enough is enough…no more messy and tangled earphones!

Ok, but a bit clunky. I personally think the simple ideas are the better ones. Check out a brand new product (the best I’ve seen yet!) called Tulip.
I saw it on Amazon recently and I’m going to buy one today. It basically controls the two earbuds to prevent tangling. It just stays on the wire from what I can see and slide up and down - really cool and simple!
Just search Tulip on http://www.amazon.co.uk
