The CordCruncher headphone sleeve encases earbud wires in an elastic sheath that can then be worn as a bracelet or necklace.
The cords from the left and right ear pieces fit into the sleeve, and can then be wrapped around one's wrist or neck to keep those pesky wires from going all over the place. The length of the cord can be easily adjusted anywhere between 16 inches to 3.5 feet with a simple pull, and is available in a variety of colors.
While not everyone would necessarily want to wear the sleeve as jewelry, the sleeve does eliminate time that is wasted on untangling a mess of cords in the bottom of a bag before one wants to listen to music.
