We've all been there before.
After walking into class or the office, you toss your earphones into your backpack or briefcase without thinking, only to find a few hours later that your carelessness has resulted in a tangled mess of cords you couldn't pay someone to fix for you. There you are, turning a leisurely activity into a monotonous task, silently cursing the earphone gods for punishing you again.
You don't have to be that person anymore.
The cord can be your friend again thanks to Zipbuds, one of those companies that has created a product that is both a no-brainer and ingenious at the same time.
Zipbuds' Juiced 2.0 earphones eliminate the hassle of untangling headphone cords with zipper technology that keeps your cables locked in place at all times, no matter where you tuck them away. With military grade cabling, you're also ensured that your cords are in it for the long haul, a necessity for the everyday listener.
Juiced 2.0 is the culmination of five generations of Zipbuds development, offering consumers a product that is lighter and more comfortable than before without compromising durability. While previous generations required users to support the earphones' weight in their inner ear, Juiced 2.0's redesigned earbud housing transfers that weight to the outside of the ear, keeping the buds where they belong: in your ears. Zipbuds also takes note that one size does not fit all when it comes to ear shapes, offering three custom fitted ear tips users can try out to make sure they find the perfect seal.
While the weight of the zipper cord means these earphones aren't suited for activities that require constant movement, they are comfortable for regular listening, offering more than adequate sound for their inexpensive price ($24.99).
Color options of Black and Blue let you match your earphones to your personality, but the Glow-in-the-Dark option is definitely a winner if you're like me and you're too lazy to turn on a light when you want to listen to music in bed.
Zipbuds Juiced 2.0 features a 3.5mm plug, making it case-compatible with Apple, Android, Windows Phone and other devices that accept the traditional headphone input. You can grab your pair at Zipbuds.com orAmazon.com.
You'll only have yourself to blame for that rat's nest of cords if you don't.
