budtrap-splashTangled headphones needlessly claim countless minutes of our lives each and every day. Those minutes eventually add up to hours, days, and weeks over our relatively short time here on earth. Even the most cable cautious individuals will encounter moments of frustration and anger when putting their headphones on becomes an intense mind battle between you and the cords. Several months back we showed you the “BudTrap”, a simple and easy to use attachment that clipped onto a number devices that enabled simple and clutter free headphone storage. I just received an email from Nick of BudTrap discussing an updated version of BudTrap with more colors, a tweaked design, and lower price ($2.99 USD — originally $4.99 USD.) All pluses in my book. If you weren’t sold on the idea before, perhaps now with the lower price and facelift you’ll be more inclined to join the club.

**Side note for corporate users: Nick also tells me that the BudTrap can have your companies’ logo applied to give corporate channels a nifty, geeky gift that stands out from the all to common t-shirt/hat/pen. Pretty cool huh!

Purchase the BudTrap now priced at $2.99

Headphones come with cords in various lengths. Your standard run of the mill headphones often have shorter, more fragile cords that are actually the most tangle prone. More expensive headphones tend to give the user more cable to play with which is bitter sweet. While you have more range of motion and mobility, maintaining an orderly appearance with 5+ feet of cable dangling form your head isn’t the most idle situation. Likewise, having hair thin headphone cords just means you’ll spend more time untangling them than actually using them.

You could be like every other organized person in the world and use simple tactics such as twist ties or the $3 cable holder from your local gas station. But this is a site for gadget obsessed nerds and geeks. We want to stand out! The REW Mini Cassette Tape come to the rescue as a cool, geeky,and functional way to manage your headphone cables. Forget about having them spill out of your pockets or senselessly pounding against your body. The only downside is these little wonders of life won’t be available until the fall.
