Review on RIP TIE Cable Perfect Earbud Cords by Bryan Fields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best headphone packaging solution I've found so far

These are perfect for packing headphones and preventing the inevitable spaghetti clutter. I've tried half a dozen storage and winding devices, but they're all too complex or big to use all the time. And if you don't use them all the time, you'll still be stuck in a spaghetti mess. These cable wraps attach directly to the headphone cords so they don't get lost or fall off when you're using the headphones. When you're done listening, it takes less than 10 seconds to rewind. After seeing how well these things work, I took all the headphones out of my car, briefcase, travel kit, gym bag, etc. and attached these zip ties. You can buy white or black packs to match (or contrast) your wires. Two caveats: When you first use cable jacketing, it's stiff and difficult to work with thin headphone cables. I almost gave up. However, after two or three uses, the cord twists softened and even curled up a little in the direction of the twist, making it very easy to use. So after a few uses, stick with the bandages before making your final decision. The second thing to note is that these cases are too small for most iPhone phones and mini/micro USB charging cables. For these you need to choose a slightly larger size.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
