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.















VERY NICE! Would love that for my iPhone…
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

Hi Robert,
Drop us a line and try one out, you might be surprised. We’d also love your feedback to help us make it better.
Thanks & enjoy one less tangle

Useless! The part that gets tangled is the two cords for the ear buds which it doesn’t address!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Nice
很棒啊,创意来源与生活啊!
Very cool…and I just found a site giving up 5 ipods..ok you have to register but that took all of 18 seconds: http://www.theparty.net
I like the BudSock better — doesn’t require wrapping.
