London-based designer Lee Washington has a solution to the problem of earbud cords getting tangled up: He’s made it so they can zip together, like the opposing sides of a zip-lock baggie.
It’s a clever and elegant solution — though it looks like the tradeoff is that it makes one of the two cords a bit stiffer and less flexible than before.
Of course, his solution is moot if you know the proper way to wrap headphone cords so they don’t get tangled.
Lee Washington has a bunch of other business ideas, too, such as paperclips shaped like little men. Cute! No word on if or when his zip-together headphones will be commercially available.
