Headphones Magnetic Clip

When I wear headphones I find that a slight exidental pull on the wire tends to irritate my ears. I wear in ear head phones on my motorbike under neath my helmet and wire under my cloathing where it tends to get caugh. I have seen headphones that hook a string around the neck so any tugging on the cord pulls on the neck, biut I though the design could be greatly improved with a few neodimium magnets instead of the fidgety plastik clip.

Home made version:

Any existing set of headphones can be modified with this adjustment, however I hope that in the near future I hope this will be a standard selling point for quality retail headphones and I hope the firt one to pick it up makes a million (well maybe $100,000) bucks!!!

Pros:

- no pulling on the ears

- the clip is easy to operate even with gloves. it snaps shut in proximity.

- a strong exidental or deliborate pull will still open the clip and dislodge the headphones without ripping the wire.

- Clip strength can be customized by adding or removing a couple of additional magnets or replacing with a different shape (eg disk versus spheres) or grade quality.

Cons: Magnets may want to stick to things like keys when you have them in your poket.
