Zip Up Tangle – Part Two
Seems like adding a zipper to the earphones is one of the easiest ways to manage them. A refined version is seen in Fasna; the zipper looks sturdy and attention to detail like magnets in the earbuds hold them in place; makes them far more functional too. Just be careful with your shirt if off. Hair, skin and zippers don’t go well together.

Notice it says “refined” dipshit.

Refined? Explain how this differs significantly from other similar products.
Given the track record of posts to Yanko, I'm guessing it's merely failure to do any market research whatsoever. Or in fact, a search on Google.

I like this idea but would need to be adopted by manufacturers and not consumers. Also, how does it look when it's unzipped or the buds are not in the ears, just dangling along lol While you are on this idea, how about a glow in the dark color, TRON like you know, there it is! haha
