Headphones with cord management system
View Patent ↗An in-ear headphone system with cord management system. The system provide for conjugation of each headphone to provide a spool for winding and securing the cord about the spool.
1. An in-ear headphone cord management system comprising:
a first ear piece member having a first side and a second side, the first ear piece member further having a proximal portion with a first electrical cord, and a distal portion having a first earbud on said second side containing said first speaker electrically associated with the second electrical cord to receive an audio signal, the earbud configured for fitting into the outer ear of a listener;
a second ear piece member having a first side and a second side, the second ear piece member further having a proximal portion with a second electrical cord, and a distal portion having a second earbud on said second side containing said second speaker electrically associated with the second electrical cord to receive an audio signal, the earbud configured for fitting into the outer ear of a listener;
wherein the first electrical cord and the second electrical cord converge into a single cord having an audio jack and a cord fastener; and
wherein the first side of the first ear piece and the first side of the second ear piece are configured to be detachably conjugated forming a spool for winding cord, the cord secured about the spool with said cord fastener.
2. The in-ear headphone system of claim 1 , the first side of the first ear piece member and the second ear piece member are each further comprised of a convex portion and concave portion, wherein when convex and concave portions are configured to be nested when conjugated.
3. The in-ear headphone system of claim 1 , where in the front side of the first ear piece member and the front side of the second ear piece member is magnetized to magnetically secure the first ear piece and the second ear piece when conjugated.
4. The in-ear headphone system of claim 1 , wherein the cord fastener is selected from a group consisting of a clip, Velcro, button, or buckle.
5. A method of securing an audio cord of in-ear audio headphones, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a first ear piece and a second ear piece, the first ear piece and second ear piece configured to be conjugated to form a spool;
conjugating the first and second ear pieces to form said spool;
wrapping cord around the formed spool;
securing the cord so that it is removably secured about the formed spool.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first ear piece and the second ear piece are each comprised of a convex portion and concave portion and the convex portion and the concave portion of the first ear piece and the second ear piece are nested when conjugating to form said spool.
7. The method of claim 5 , where in the first ear piece and second ear piece are secured when conjugating by a pair of magnets.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cord is secured by fastening with a fastener selected from a group consisting of a clip, Velcro, button, or buckle.
