Cool earbud Zipbuds

        These unique cool earphones incorporate a zipper that makes up the Y-cable descending from the left and right earpieces.

The idea behind the design is the prevent the incessant tangling that seems to be inherent to earbuds. It actually makes quite a bit of sense: think about trying to tie a strand of zipper into a knot. Probably not the simplest of feats.

More than that, the zipper is actually kind of stylish in the looks department, and I think that the design would blend nicely with clothing, looking simply like a zipper up the front of a sweatshirt and it will make you look fashionable.

The Zipbuds come in five color options--black on black, black with blue, black with pink, pink with white, and blue with white--and are currently available for $39.99 exclusively at the product Web site.
