Listening to music when you’re not near your surround sound system should be easy. Your phone holds thousands of songs locally, has access to millions through your subscription service and can even beam music digitally to far off lands. It should be easy to get it from the device into your ears, but it’s not. You can use Bluetooth and skip the cord, but there goes your battery life. You can get wired headphones and try to save some battery life, but then you’ll inevitably spend precious minutes a day untangling those headphones from your bag, keys, pockets and everything within their reach. Not anymore. Quirky’s Wired Headphones are designed with thicker sections in the wire so they easily fold into place. No more jumbled mess, just a neatly folded pair of headphones that also happen to have a three button controller for all that music. All for $12.
