I just stumbled upon Australia based BudTrap, a company creating and marketing a neat product with the same name that provides an adequate solution for dealing with tangling earbuds. They’ve done a pretty good job at explaining what it’s all about on their good-looking website (they really have a keen sense of design), but make sure you check out the video demo below too.
For now, the BudTrap is completely free, but the beta version currently only fits the iPod Nano Gen 3.
The BudTrap’s patented DuoGrip technology lets you:
- Quickly wind your headphones “Naturally”
- Safely & Securely retain your headphones
- Fits Snugly to iPod for use with most cases
- Easily Sync, stays with your Earbuds
- Change colours to suit your mood.
If you wanna keep track of BudTrap, go follow their blog or become a fan on Facebook.
The Next Web Blog is closely associated with The Next Web Conference which is held annually in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At this event speakers from all over the world come together to talk about, and show off, the future of the Web. (More info

Hi Guys,
Robin, thanks for the post and compliments – kudos to you mate.
@ Boris – we’re working on the iPhone and other models
@ Yorgos – The self wind technique is a little slow, but it is the next best thing and we recommend it if you’re not into Budtrap.
Thanks & enjoy one less tangle

Useless! The part that gets tangled is the two cords for the ear buds which it doesn’t address!
