Ear Tentacles

Inspired by the suction cups on an octopus’ tentacles, red dot design concept winning designer Donghee Suh created this pair of cool earbuds that are easy to manage. The Octopus earbuds are fitted with a silicon flap, which retract to become an impromptu suction cup. This ways you can easily wrap the cord around your phone/device and hook on the earbuds to the screen, in a neat fashion.

Simple solution for tangle problems!
