I'm always looking out for new earbud designs because I wear them all day-every day at work. The Kransens have some great ideas, but I would really like to see the plug reinforced. I go through about seven pairs of earbuds a year and they always fail at the plug.
Absolutely love the simplicity and the elegance of the solution but I really wonder how the "plug lock" would affect the copper wires. I've gone through a lot of earphones and a lot of times the part that fails the first is the part near the plug. The constant bending and twisting wears out the wires inside so I'm really interested to see how this solution can avoid creating that problem.
