lee washington: tangle-proof headphones



london-based designer lee washington has come up with an idea to prevent iPod
headphones getting tangled when not in use - the two wires join together
(as explained in the video below).



lee is currently studying at central st. martins, as well as running a t-shirt company
called 'one man band'. you can see more of his work here.

Great!
Question: How would you do that?
The idea is there but, you didn't talk about how to achieve it.
Tiago@London   08.24.09
It's like ziploc bag locking? Right? Very Very cool!

yes except for the fact that one of the wires will stay stiffed when using the ipod eventualy it will be uncomfortable. i would rather use a flexibile tube to slide up and doown

Its very similar to an idea i had when i was at uni:

but that was long ago, i had no idea how to progress then apple came up with the little rubber thing that slides up and down, i figured that was a great solution. If you can get this to market i would buy it for sure!!! nice work squire!!!!

Faskingwhy   08.24.09
Excellent idea, and very implementable. If you haven't gotten the patent rights, on this, you are missing the boat.
