Zipped Ear Buds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Zipbuds Headphones are Designed to Never Get Tangled

— May 28, 2014 — Art & Design
The Zipbuds are the perfect invention to stop you from constantly trying to untangle the headphones you find at the bottom of your bag. With a zipper-like headphone cabling, these headphones always stay perfectly untangled so you can start listening to your music instantaneously.

The Zipbuds are a stylish pair of modern day ear bud headphones that are great for people who are constantly listening to their music on the go. With an ingenious zipper-like design, these headphone cables are guaranteed to stay untangled while you listen to your music. When you're done jamming out to your favorite tunes, you can simply pull the zipper up from the bottom of the audio jack to the top of the ear buds to keep the two headphone cables separate. Your headphones will never be tangled again.
Trend Themes
1. Less Tangled Headphone Cords - Designing headphones with innovative cabling systems can provide consumers with the benefit of less tangled cords, leading to increased convenience and usability.
2. Zipper-inspired Design - Incorporating zipper-inspired designs into other products can lead to novel solutions for common consumer problems, such as tangled cords.
3. On-the-go Listening Devices - Creating more compact, portable, and convenient headphones can cater to the needs of consumers who are frequently listening to music while on the move.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies such as headphone manufacturers can integrate innovative cabling systems or zipper-inspired designs to gain a competitive advantage.
2. Luggage and Bags - Luggage and bag manufacturers can collaborate with headphone companies to create integrated pockets or compartments specifically designed for tangle-free storage of headphones.
3. Athletic Apparel - Sportswear companies can incorporate on-the-go listening devices into their merchandise to provide an added convenience for consumers who are engaging in physical activities.
