Just when you thought everything was invented, along comes another great, simple idea.
Bluetooth earbuds.
Now I do know of wireless headphones like we all bought in the 90's for late night TV watching. And I do know of bluetooth earpieces for Iphones favoured by Taxi drivers. But bluetooth ear buds, as in the tiny earpieces we all have, I hadn't seen as wireless.
So no more chords to plug into your iphone, instead they're wireless over bluetooth. The ear buds just connect to a little device which links to your phone etc. So forget tangles, they're a thing of the past.
Elroy (I admit, a most peculiar brand name) is looking to raise funding on Kickstarter (crowd funding) and I think it's a real winner. Not only does it replace the mess of tangled chords but when you remove an earpiece (as in, someone says "hello" on the street), it pauses the music until you put it back in.
If you get a call, inserting the ear piece answers it and so on. Clever?
Really.
The mounts are also magnetic so when you're done, they simply stick to a box which you carry.
Elroy were looking to raise 30k usd on Kickstarter and already they've past that mark. I'm not surprised.
This will be the way of headphones in the future (did I just say that?).
Well, I mean, it's a sure winner.
