Detangling Your Earbuds

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Late last year I posted about how to keep iPhone 3GS headphones untangled. Now I have a way for everyone to keep their ‘phones on the straight and narrow. Enter the Wrapster.

Created by design collective Quirky, this piece of bendable rubber is on pre-sale now for $5 (~£3) and is made to keep your headphones untangled. It does this by having you feed each side of the headphones through a hole in the top of it, which keeps them separate and therefore untangled. It also has a flexible clip for attaching the Wrapster to a shirt pocket, and a slot near the bottom for holding the end of the wire when you wrap your headphones around it.

Untangle Those Headphones

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Everyone has the same problem with headphones: they get tangled as soon as you stop using them. If you put them in your pocket, or a bag, or anywhere at all, they tangle around each other and when you want to use them again you have to spent five minutes straightening them back out. There are many so-called ’solutions’ to this, but almost all of them require wrapping your headphones tightly around something. This is a bad idea because it can damage the cable inside the wires, which means you’re going to have to buy a new pair.

But now, for iPhone 3GS users, there is a way to stop tangling 99% of the time with no tight wrapping or damage occurring. Olly Farshi, of The Apple Blog has prepared a video tutorial on how to do this:

Hopefully this will stop tangling and damage to our Apple-issue headphones. If I remember to do this each time, that is.
