    It's a start, but only halfway there. The one time it happened to me, I tried to straighten up while SITTING ON THE CABLE.

    Tragus tragedy! (Sigh. Probably no one's ever going to get that pun.)

    What a bloody good idea - I hope it doesn't end up costing too much. I can also see bits getting stuck in jack when it gets disconnected in your pocket (when not in use), meaning the connection might not be so great.

    It's still a very creative design for all that matter at the end of the day.

    It is a cool design but really is just a utilization of current Mac power cord tech. Rather then worrying about cords I went with Bluetooth A2DP tech. Rechargeable battery with impressive life, decent coverage, and most important- no dangling cords. But you also can only use it with Bluetooth supported items.

    A magnet next to a laptop....am I the only one who sees the issue with this?

    It will only be a weak magnet, nothing compared to the extremely powerful magnet *inside* your laptop HDD.

    Meh, whatever.... this has been available for years on electric guitar instrument cables.

    Yeah wireless headphones would solve even more problems.
